And yet I suspect you'd have to admit that this is a subjective feeling. I spent a lot of time around Maharishi as well, and never felt anything from him that I would attribute to enlightenment, whereas I have with other people. Go figure. I think the bottom line may be that if we could react to everyone we meet (including ourselves) by cutting them the same slack we give to those we consider enlightened, the world might be a better place. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
