Go figure.
I beleive that Maharishi has "total knowledge," so do I, so do you. It is conceivable, at least to me,that MMY's access to "total knowledge" is "better" than mine, but that's not the same thing as saying he's perfect. I think the B&W thinking represents a misunderstanding of what MMY means by the term. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo!
