MMY used hyperbole to promote his ideas, understanding that and your question 
will be answered. I think MMY even believed his own rhetoric, he made up TM (a 
good beginner program, don't get me wrong) but I don't think it came from Guru 
Dev.
 

  I think MMY believed transcendental conscious could be obtained in a few 
years, whereas in practice most people won't even transcend fully ONCE in their 
lifetime! Hence his idea that TM would bring about all of Patanjali's 8 limbs 
of Yoga as a *result* of practice is poppy cock.
 

 He even let slip in his Gita translation (such as it is) that the eight limbs 
of Patanjali's Yoga were meant to be *means* to Yoga and not *ends* (read it 
for yourself in the appendix under Yoga).
