Or for his teachers. You now understand the thing that many here on this forum understand, and that a couple of the most vocal TM- and MMY-apologists on this same forum do not. They don't understand because they never put their lives on the line to teach TM. They don't understand because they never had to scrimp and save to continue their teaching activities. They never taught, period. So when people who did -- for years or even decades -- express their disappointment at the *lack* of respect that Maharishi has for them, these apologists ridicule the people who are expressing such sentiments. They clearly consider such people weak or lacking in faith. But the bottom line is that many of the people who *did* put their lives on the line for Maharishi, and who *did* scrimp and saved to continue doing so, *have* been treated like shit by him and his minions. And people who *never* made such sacrifices are the first to trot out excuses for Maharishi and excuses for his minions. *Their* faith is intact because they never had to put it to the test. Thus they continue to talk the talk of living a spiritual life, without ever once having walked the walk of it.
