Context is everything to that content. First that she is highly respectful of what has gone on and is going on here in FF as a spiritual practice place. More than just utopian ideas or some philosophy she always is highly respectful of what Maharishi brought to the West from Adi Shankara. As she comes around in visitimg she cheers people on as a mother would in their spiritual practice. Cheers people on in their discipline to deepen their practices to spiritual end. Cheers and implores also folks to continue and deepen meditation even as they may also despair in spiritual practice. (Look at the dome numbers over the years, there has been some of that despair in the community also over the years too.) But beyond that, like even Maharishi had wanted originally, she urges to do and sit with long meditations. And then also to the neo-Advaitin pathless-path non-meditators she notes, "even the enlightened continue to meditate", as a come-back invitation to sitting and deepening what is inside even advaitins. Urges even to go under some arrogances of spirituality in some. So in what you ask it is both, at the same time in context.
