Go back and read the discussion. No one ever suggested that it was an all-or-nothing process, or that everyone is successful at modeling the mind of their teacher. I know that all I meant to suggest is that it's something that one works at over a long period of time -- years, or decades. And not everyone is successful at doing it. I would suggest that Maharishi wasn't particularly successful at doing it, since one of his first actions after Guru Dev's death was to not obey what he'd told him to do (that is, go into seclusion, and not teach). In addition, the effects of mind-modeling only "last" so long. After almost fifty years, I suspect that Maharishi has had an opportunity to pick up a few kinks of his own. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
