Reply: True, effort can creep into TM and a checking can resolve that. But my sense about why some quit the practice, particularly those who left with an inordinately negative view of TM, is that many who begin TM as a panacea, or even just to gain deeper rest, aren't prepared for what 'stress release' means, and how it works.
