That's not defensive...it's *offensive*. It's your classic thought-stopper, meant to silence dissent. And the fascinating thing about this term is that it is the one that is NOT learned directly from Maharishi, because he doesn't do it. He rarely silences dissent or gets passive-agressive by saying, "GuruDevSez." No, this is just one of those things that people bring with them *to* a hierarchical organization and use to fight their way to the top of it. Happens in every spiritual trip with a leader at the top. The leader's name is invoked by the social climbers as they climb, usually just before they step on someone else's fingers on the ladder. ------------------------ Yahoo!
