I remember something MMY said in the 'Divine Plan' about reconstructing a street. He said that when a street is in a very bad shape, the reconstruction had to be taken in steps, it couldn't be done at one time. After one section had been reconstructed, the next could be done etc. As I see it, TM was very much adjusted to suit the western mentality, something MMY has admitted himself. One thing would be the way the mantras are selected etc. Or that its taught without any refererence to religious or devotional terminology. This was to go beyond the obvious baricade between different religions, that was still very much prevelant in the early sixties and seventies. The presentation of TM in a religious-free context had its advantages, but it has its drawbacks as well. To change this in the minds of the followers is impossible.So MMY's aim was to light some light in the west. He doesn't see his mission personally (as the recently posted answer from the pressconference shows).So, other sections of the reconstruction of the road need not be directly associated with his persona or with the movement. MMY very consciously put the spreading of TM to sleep. Nobody in the movement seems to think anymore its a necessity. He himself as a 'Guru' is still there. He is the cosmic Guru, not a persona (Dakshinamurty), always available and guiding those serious about their soul-commitment. Everybody else may just speculate, or find his place in the world or in a different spiritual environment, it not within the charge of a single person. ------------------------ Yahoo!
