> It is in the eye of the beholder, Bob, literally. > ******************** Even the most sattvic and enlightened souls can recognize the low level of life lived in the mud of the Kaliyuga. The world is said to be bliss to the enlightened, but that does not mean that there is no recognition of the suffering and ignorance prevalent on the planet. And it only out of compassion that great saints like Guru Dev and MMY leave their peaceful lives of bliss in seclusion and come out into the world to free the ignorant from the burden of suffering. Guru Dev and MMY didn't just come out and smile and say "life is bliss," although certainly that is what they were living -- they offered a practical way for householders to also live a life of bliss. Unfortunately, the growth of the TM movement cannot proceed in an ugly world except by fits and starts -- it's too challenging to people living in darkness -- so that's why MMY has withdrawn TM -- to one degree or another, from all countries except India (where the price of instruction is affordable for everybody).
