No doubt Maharishi himself could have benefited from your insight since he used the term freely in many contexts. Perhaps you can send a memo to his official organization to tighten up the ship a bit per your instruction. Of course in the interest of trying to distinguish himself from every other Hindu mantra huckster, he would agree with your point that HIS path was not like any other path. His being much faster, better, more authentic, longer lasting, fresher breath,slimming and more betterest in every way. All those other gurus with their tedious paths, lacking the kind of rapid progress toward enlightenment assured by Maharishi.(In our experience it takes 5-7 years.) Poor suckers with their earnest little "paths" while meditators sit at the goal from day one. Living the dream, aren't you? I believe you are confusing his rap about the pathless path of transcendence in meditation with the outer path of a person on a path to enlightenment. Or perhaps you are speaking the Advaita truth from the perspective of your state of Unity. If that is the case you really ought to knock off confusing the ignorant. We (speaking on behalf of the little people) get ever so confused and might stop meditating because you are telling us there is no path to the Goal. (The assumed Hindu teleology. That one.) Plus did you know that celebrities do TM? Really they do. Some really big ones.
