is 'stress'
Thank you. Yep - Maharishi was probably wise to leave alone any sort
of moral precepts, as he wanted the TM technique available as widely
as possible, vs. taking on the various religious creeds. As desires
become more comprehensive, these enemies must be faced anyway, and
resolved, so that further growth is possible.

Fleetwood-Nice quote, the real Jihad is the inner one, though that is
accomplished by the inner AND outer disciplines. This is the REAL
teaching of Yoga as defined by SBS and loosely referred to by MMY.

Here is Brahmananda Saraswati, talking about "the six enemies" (aka
"stress"):
"In truth then victory is really this; for the one who has no risk of
inner defeat. In truth, by the suppression only of outer (usual)
enemies no one can become permanently victorious; because from those
enemies there is no lasting suppression. True knowledge of victory
occurs then from obtaining control over internal enemies. Really, only
by the permanent subjugation of internal enemies is the subjugation of
the external enemy achieved; because the inner enemy gives rise to the
creation of the external enemies.
The internal enemies are kaama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed),
moha (delusion), mada (intoxification) and maatsarya (jealousy). This
is really the shhaDarivarga, the group of six inner enemies which
create any external enemies of the world; therefore if you wish to
experience happiness and peace one must gain victory over all one's
gross enemies, then you should cut off the place of birth of the six
subtle enemies, kaama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed),
moha (delusion), mada(intoxification) and maatsarya (jealousy).
Without gaining victory over the shhaDarivarga (group of six enemies)
then you cannot completely irradicate the external enemies. This is fixed.
This is the proven experience of those who have gained victory over
these internal subtle enemies, that if the birthplace of the external
enemies becomes destroyed and all enemies have become eradicated then
afterwards no enemies remain and in truth this is considered to be a
real victory. For him the true and lasting store-house of happiness
and peace is opened."

Doshas aren't stress, in Maharishi's eyes, as far as I know.
Samskaras are stress.
The term doṣa literally means "contamination" but I don't think that
Maharishi ever used it in that sense. That is more a Buddhist thing to
use doṣa to refer to lust, etc..

Are you beginning to 'get' what MMY was talking about when he was
talking about stress? Lust, Anger, Greed to name a few, (the doshas).
These, are the sleeping elephants MMY used to talk about in the early
days, IMHO.
