Chopra, however, is so arrogant as to qualify for the label "pathological" in my opinion, and in the opinion of a number of writers who have interviewed him or otherwise examined his work since leaving the TMO. To say that only Chopra can say why he left the TMO is ridiculous -- everybody has a right to think about the behavior of public figures, and Chopra is such a public figure, who would still be just another M.D. in Boston if MMY had not given him the knowledge of Ayurveda and other Vedic knowledge, which he has spun into a huge personal fortune. MMY has said that people stop meditating because the high stress levels in the world do not permit people to be happy -- this does not make people who quit TM "pathological," but the current world certainly is pathological, disease-producing.
