---Effortless or not (nothing in the world is "absolutely" effortless btw); the key point is Transcendental awareness. If it (pure Consciousness, Self-awareness), occurs for you regardless of the amount of effort, excellent. Having exposed the primary goal, the question of effort is important in distinguishing TM from other traditional forms of meditation which require forced attention on the mantra. The fact that something - a method - is effortless is not necessarily "good" unless it fulfills an objective: here, Transcendental Consciousness. Countless endeavors are nearly effortless but don't produce the results in question.
