**************** In the first place, people who learn TM have not established a guru- disciple relationship with MMY, that's a completely different path, the one that MMY followed with Guru Dev. As far as MMY telling people if they were not satisfied with TM, that they should do something else, this was not in the nature of a reccommendation, but a brush- off to fools: at my TM teacher training course at Humboldt Aug 1970, a guy got up and insisted that TM was no good compared to LSD, so MMY said, fine, if you like LSD, by all means do that. Guru Dev did not argue with fools, either, in fact, he simply would not talk to them at all: after he was told the name of somebody waiting to see him, he would either give an OK for the person to come in and talk, or tell him to go away. There are lots of people who are simply not ready for sticking with the path of enlightenment through TM, it's a waste of time and effort to chase after them -- when they get tired of suffering, then they'll pick up the practice again later, so one would never want to push reluctant TMers into sticking with TM when they want to go elsewhere. Nature's carrot and stick approach eventually brings everybody to their home place, bliss consciousness, after they get tired of playing in the mud.
