And one I don't think I've ever made. I think he's convinced his self that what he says is true. > ...since most men his age > are interested in creating a legacy, and you're apparently claiming > that his legacy will simply be "liar." No, I don't think I've ever said, or even suggested that. I suspect his legacy will be "just another guy who started out well-meaning but who got taken out by his own ego." I don't think *he* is lying about where the money goes. I suspect he's been taken in by his nephews, into whose pockets the money all goes. I think that Maharishi has no more clue about the real world around him than he ever had, and doesn't care to. He's *never* lived in the real world, and isn't about to start now. Maharishi doesn't DO self analysis; AFAIK he just assumes that every thing he says is true. And he's carefully surrounded himself with people who believe the same thing, and would never be so rude as to suggest otherwise. ------------------------ Yahoo!
