Spiritually, some of the Eastern saints in coming to the West like Ammachi, Karunamayi, Mother Meera and others have reflected their deep respect and admiration for Maharishi’s work and the place of Fairfield as a meditating community.
Each one of these people in their own way articulate a marvel at what is happening in the West generally with the heightening of more people in spiritual life. From their travels they observe how many Westerners are actively pursuing spirituality, noting that in ways there is more of spiritual cultivation occurring in the West now than possibly even in India. What they mark is their seeing more Westerners who may have their time and resources devoted to enabling a prioritization of spiritual cultivation in their life practice, and while in India by contrast so many have to work so hard to just exist are left with little time or energy to lend towards spiritual life.
