My experience, which may be quite different than others, with regard to questons, answers, and transparency in TM is-
1. Not much of direct answers to quesitions 2. Not much transparency, but rather confidentiality. The next experience is I felt this is how it is on the spiritual path. Now, since I am experiencing this is not the case, I enjoy it more. Could be many reasons why circular answers and lack of transparency. For example, Q- Has enlightenment been reached? A. - Long, circular, and non comprehendable- Possible reasons why? Enlightenment wasn't reached Over here, this is how the Q and A goes Q- Has enlightenment been reached A. Yes I never thought such simplicity was possible. This is why there is no confusion with the sadakas.
