I am long past the immature notion that in order to believe in my own practices as the best for me, they must therefore be the best for everyone else, and conversely, no one else's measure up to mine.
I also appreciate a thoughtful challenge to TM or definitions of enlightenment, or anything else for that matter. What comes across though in Vaj's postings though is a consistent message that TM and the states of consciousness it produces are somehow forever flawed, and by inference he has found the one true way. And that is just BS, plain and simple. So I have nothing personal against him. His just appears as an unbalanced view, bordering on zealotry, and when he expresses his spiritual prejudices, for whatever reason, I feel compelled many times to show the other side of the coin.
