In Finnish the word 'viili-pytty' (yikes!) is used as a metaphor for(?) extreme calmness. It means something like 'a bowl(pytty) of soured whole milk (viili)'. During the introductory lectures my TM-teacher said something like: "You won't become /viilipytty-s/ (cool as a cucumber). Meditation might even make you more sensitive, but it [what??] won't touch your /self/ anymore." Because of that statement I was that close not to start TM at all. Thought, can't afford becoming more sensitive, that's fer sure! But as it turned out, started anyhow... > > --- In [email protected], "John" <jr_esq@> wrote: > > > > You should try eating more onions or garlic. Let us know what >>you feel. I sometimes make a stew, or stuff, with about 10 "don't-know-what_s" of garlic. I guess that might make keeping /brahmacarya/ more challenging. :/ > > > > > > --- In [email protected], cardemaister <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > If I nowadaze drink coffee at all, it's usually decaf. > > > Only occasionally do I drink regular coffee, mostly > > > at my sister's.
