manifest itself in his organization. But they don't want
to admit that; they paid for *hope*, not reality. So when
reality intrudes into the conversation, they tend to use
the two little magic words -- "Maharishi says" -- to stop
the conversation from going any further.


The important thing I realized was these weren't really Mahesh's brilliant declarations, but instead they were traditional comments and insights coming thru various pundits and then filtered through M's interpretation. Eventually at some point you realize that the tradition has been in a sense filtered through his own intentions and motivations--and that you can access the same teaching closer to the source and filter them through your own intelligence (and often find what has been removed or diluted).
