I don't think that the TMO and MMY have the best image in the world and there are many people who are now getting involved in spiritual pursuits that have never heard of MMY or TM.

I'm sure some former or current TM with SSRS might have some cognitive dissonance and might be using the above to lessen the dissonance. But the relationship between MMY and SSRS is something between them. What MMY says about SSRS publically is one thing and what he says about him privately is another. By the way, I always thought that MMY's comment about SSRS, "Meditators should watch out for sugar-coated poison." was quite the compliment. This is one of those "guru-speak" things. I say this because of my direct experiences with MMY as "Blazing Brahman" and my direct experiences with SSRS as "Blazing Brahman." MMY couldn't say something negative about SSRS if he tried. How could he? MMY "made" SSRS just like Guru Dev "made" MMY. Someone like MMY, and SSRS for that matter, use everything to facilitate realization in those who have a relationship with them. MMY and SSRS are just two faces of Brahman. Brahman has lots of shiny, bright, glowing faces and its own amazing dharma of Self-Realization. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > > > Do You Yahoo!? > > > > Tired of spam?
