That might be. However, one prominent exponent of the technique of Buddhist meditation that Vaj characterizes as "effortless" admonishes people to be vigilant in not letting oneself fall asleep or getting lst in thoughts, which to me, is a form of effort and control... Am I to ignore his own description of what he teaches? BTW, the people whom I *DO* trust to "get it" ala TM say things like "the Way that can be spoken is not the Constant Way." Maharishi doesn't describe TM in detail either, and TM teachers are taught to be vague in describing TM in order to avoid putting expectations on people, or such is what I surmise as the reason why every official description of TM is vague: you can't really describe the practice of TM and to try actually risks destroying the practice both for the person hearing the description AND for the person attempting to make the description.
