What service might that be?
Bob has a tendency to redefine words and concepts to
match his preconceptions. So 'service' in this case
may be his tendency to relieve his followers of the
burden of that hotbed of evil, money. :-)
It's similar to his redefinition of what 'not living
in luxury' means. For example, when Maharishi came to
L.A. to film the Merv show (the one that Clint was on)
and made us rent the entire floor of the Beverly
Wilshire hotel so that he wouldn't have to see any
of the rabble while he was there, that must have fallen
into the category of "Any comfort extended to him since
then was from people who were grateful for his wisdom
and his generous service to the world."
And when he then went further and made us go to the
hotel management and insist that they rent us the
rooms on top of and under Maharishi's room, because
he was so paranoid that he thought the CIA would rent
them to snoop on him, that must have been because he
was trying to protect unwary people from being too near
his holy aura. :-)
Only one person actually stayed in any of the rooms
that were rented -- Maharishi. The bill came to some-
thing just over $200,000, for four days. This was all
at his personal direction. If anyone's being 'generous'
here, I'd say it's Maharishi being awfully generous
about frittering away money he *could* have used to
actually help people learn TM.
