Bingo. You have just nailed the fatal flaw in Maharishi's model. To believe it is true, you have to believe that before enlightenment, one has free will, and that afterwards one does not. What *changed* in the operating system of the universe between unenlightenment and enlighten- ment? Did karma stop working? If one has a choice as to how to act before real- ization of enlightenment, one has the same choice afterwards. Those who claim otherwise are in my opinion trying to avoid responsibility for their actions. They may be avoiding this responsibility because they are up to no good, or they may be avoiding this responsibility because they honestly believe that "God does everything," but it's the same bottom line. They wish their followers to cut them slack they would not extend to anyone else. ------------------------ Yahoo!
