Wasn't it Maharish who gave us the formula: "Meditate and > act" I don't think he said, "Meditate and sit around"
And I don't think Shemp had sitting around in mind as the only alternative to setting up hospitals and stuff like that.

That's a pretty cheap shot, Shirley. Shemp has a point. Anybody can set up a hospital; not everyone can teach TM. We all understood this principle at one time, at least those of us who became committed to promoting TM. It's one thing to complain that it isn't working or isn't being implemented properly, or to say that one has changed one's mind about the principle. But some of us seem to be pretending that it's inherently a terrible principle that we never assented to in the first place. ------------------------ Yahoo!
