Or perhaps the TM teachers who believe this haven't quite understood him. I don't see any contradiction between the idea that TM and Guru Dev belong to the Holy Tradition, and the idea that Guru Dev did not himself teach TM, or give MMY the technique. As *I* understand what MMY says, the technique itself had not been readily available for a long time due to lack of understanding about what it involved and how to teach it; but Guru Dev, via the purity of his consciousness and depth of his intellect, revived the knowledge that is at the *basis* of the technique. In other words, Guru Dev's revival of the knowledge of the Holy Tradition enabled MMY to reconstruct the technique. So "It is Guru Dev from whom we have this knowledge" refers not to the specifics of the technique, but the knowledge of the nature and mechanics of consciousness that made it possible for MMY to retrieve the technique's specifics. It is > only after I was kicked out of the TMO - I have started to question > what MMY really teached us. I have no answers - but doubts. I think MMY may have, or may have had, a certain reluctance to actually spell out that TM isn't Guru Dev's technique, because he doesn't want to suggest he knows something Guru Dev did not. So one perhaps does need to do a little bit of reading between the lines. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
