Well, there's floating during TM-SIdhis pracice, and then there's floating during daily activity. Allegedly someone fully in Unity could perform any and all TM-SIdhis at any time, in any circumstance. But of course, MMY never demonstrated floating in public that I have heard of and never said that he had floated, only that he could if he wanted to. I personally think this levitation thing is overrated. I'm happy when I just witness someone being kind or generous or interesting. The only floaters I've ever seen (and are likely to see) are in my own toilet bowl. That's it! I guess Rama was just one big turd in the toilet bowl of life.

Apparently that was a minor test for immortality in Maharishi's eyes: if they were well-enoughed established in Unity that they could float whenever they wanted, they might be immortal. Trying to ignore the nonsensical nature of the entire theory, I would suggest that if you believe in it then you have to admit that Maharishi was never able to float (levitate). There are no "minor tests" for immortality. There is only one test, and it's fairly major -- if you die, you're not. :-) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : What about people like Ramana Maharishi and Ramakrisna who died of cancer?
