Any knowledge is a prison, not just TM knowledge. That's not just what Krishnamurti says, but Maharishi said this himself about the knowledge he was teaching. It's a conditioning of the mind.
At my time, which was before the siddhis, there was much emphasis to get fertilizers asap. That's why you don't understand, how transcendence could get 'lively'. You do not need to understand the technicalities of Samput, but like for everything else, Maharishi had a substitute explanation for it, which was carefully explained at advanced meetings. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: You have to be exceptionally resource challenged, these days, to consider the TM knowledge, a "prison". Also, TM, imo, is not for people who want to over intellectualize everything. It either works, or it doesn't, and knowing what samput is, ultimately makes no difference, wrt its effectiveness. For one thing, these so-called Advanced Techniques are not a prerequisite for any other program, like the TMSP. Never saw the need for one, myself. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: Samput are the extra words added. For instance they may add extra bijas to Gayatri to make it more powerful. This, of course, is stuff that TM never students but information often explained in other traditions. Gotta step outside the "prison" to learn it. ;-) On 10/09/2013 12:29 PM, turquoiseb wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Bhairitu wrote: > > Aing is the bija.

"Gimme a Shri, gimme a Shri, gimme a Namah Namah Namah!" Would we call them the Pushpam Girls?
