TM is okay for a teaching for the masses but if you truly want more
knowledge and perhaps to become a master or acharya yourself you will
have to get a personal guru. Maharishi has nothing to offer in this
area or he would have turned the Purusha folks into acharyas. Mass
market gurus usually cannot do such things.
