Points well taken. Perhaps what I'm trying to say is that if Maharishi had
put greater emphasis on compassion and caring for people it would have
helped the evolution of the individuals in the movement, as well as helping
the whole organization fulfill its goals. As it is, the movement is now
perceived by many as being all about money.
