This is a profound question Ron. I hope others weigh it. I think you have given a false choice here,
Response: It is not my choice- it is for each to choose - I was addressing the ones that are not happy with TM, for the ones that are, you are all set For the ones that are not, what' s it going to be? Are you going to look for another Guru? Throwing in the towel? doing it on your own? or something else- I can't think of all the options available, so listed a few. If you tried something and it didn't work, if you choose to lump in this thing and then categorize it with all the other things in this field- well, no one is stoping you, your choice. I was just addressing that particular aspect and saying I don't think ththis is wise. What went on in one place may have nothing to do with ananother Specifically with Gurus, and connecting it specifically to my path as an example, what goes on in any other path has nothing to do with what is here. As a side note, I can site this recent publication with Ramana Maharishi and say yes, what is described in this book - Padamalai does take place in my path. So in this case, if one is turned off by the points in that book, then yes, what went on there does go on here in my path. Hridaya
