Perhaps when Maharishi asked, "What dynamite?" he was making a joke. In other words, for Maharishi, the dynamite wouldn't be such a big deal, as you have made it, and all these years later- As if you have taken this one incident, and blamed everything that has happened since then on this one incident. Perhaps this dynamite was all in your mind? Perhaps it was traumatic to you? PTSD- (explosions can cause that)... All I know, is that from my TM practice, I notice I don't respond to loud noises in the same jumpy way as those around me; My nervous system is definitely changed due to my TM practice, no question. r.g.
