In the last book by Swoboda on the life of the Agohra saint Vimalananda (highly recommended) he said that genetics is of utmost importance regarding enlightenment. The purity of the bloodline being very important indeed for seeking and upholding transcendence. This may well be somewhat controversial, but then again Vimalanda was not your average Guru telling people what they wanted to hear. He was a very unpredictable and sometimes provoking teacher, I'd love to have met him. Maharishi is also not exactly predictable, to say the least. It's a pitty to hear all those people who dream about the good old days of the Movement not realizing that the "Movement belongs to those who move." I've never seen anyone moving as fast as Maharishi. I know from firsthand experience that Maharishi supports Vimalanandas view on genetics.
