Hi Rick, The benefit to the destructive tendencies is a temporary one, only because all of life is supported by the practice of TM. In times past, the destructive tendencies would not gain such a foothold, but now, as the current Dalai Lama says in his book, In My Own Words, when speaking about aggression and competitiveness, "...These mental processes easily translate into actions, breeding belligerence. Such processes have been going on in the human mind since time immemorial, but their execution has become more effective under modern conditions." This is what Maharishi is forestalling, the temporary lift that negative tendencies enjoy in a lively environment. Just as sattva can bind with rajas, so can tamas.
