Someday you should learn to take what "Maharishisez" with the necessary shaker of salt. AFAIK, he is pretty much *alone* in the spiritual world at suggesting this "criterion" for full enlightenment. *History* certainly doesn't agree with him; it is full of people who have been regarded as fully enlightened, and who have *never* exhibited any of the siddhis. It's an apples and oranges thang, but even more so. The siddhis have absolutely nothing to do with enlightenment. The apples come from Venus and enlightenment comes from Mars. :-) Many non-enlightened people can perform the siddhis and many enlightened people cannot. The *only* reason Maharishi tried to suggest a link between the two is that he was trying to SELL the siddhis as a pathway to enlightenment. ------------------------ Yahoo!
