You must feel that there is an inconsistency here. I don't. In that post, I was using the term "darshan" because it was already being used in the thread, if I remember correctly. The *subjective* experience is the same whether one believes that the teacher is "giving" "darshan" or whether one believes that the effect one feels is due to recognition. In either case, in my experience, Maharishi ain't got what it takes. So the closer one works with him over a long period of time, the sooner one might figure that out. The further away one stays, the longer one can believe in *either* darshan *or* him being someone with whom one could benefit from recognition. I have no *problem* with inconsistency, as you are the first to point out. But I wasn't being inconsistent here. Try again. And if you can't find an actual example, you can always call me a phony again. :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
