Compare what to the shamatha practitioners, Vaj? Your uncertainty as to whether TM or the TM-Sidhis helps TMers to concentrate? You're obviously talking about concentration outside of meditation, since, as you know, TM itself doesn't employ concentration. I can't figure out what the meditational abilities of the shamatha practitioners has to do with your doubts as to whether TMers can concentrate for long periods outside of meditation.
