...futile attempt at justifying a waste of time and inefficiency in action. The way you lose attachment to the fruit of action is through contacting the transcendent on a daily basis and contrasting that experience with activity. Your Purusha's friend take on "stop start change" is as legitimate as saying that MMY is testing people's intelligence by having them do stupid things until they realize that they are stupid and will stop doing them and refuse to do them anymore and that they should stop following gurus because that's not the path of TM. > > Another former 108 friend use to get very mad when MMY would take HIS > project and give credit to someone else, while my friend did all the > work.
