The truth is that it is not "they" or some distant and unnamed "bastards" who are doing this - keeping the price of officially sanctioned TM high. It is Maharishi himself. He himself decided the price, despite the attempts of many people around him to explain the consequences. He has been adament and unyeilding. He is also well aware of the figures of how many learn each month and how much income it does or does not generate.The true believers feel he has some unstated higher purpose for this decision to keep the price so high. The lawyers who will be acting on behalf of the TMO and Maharishi are doing just that - at least some of them are devoted to him and his decisions - and if MMY wants to stop people from teaching TM for less than his standard price, these lawyers will feel it is their mission to do exactly as Maharishi wants. IMO, I don't think that means that MMY would necessarily be personally angry with the teachers who teach outside of the official TMO. Who knows, he might applaud them! Maybe he is playing a cosmic game here and watching everyone dance about. Really strange situation and a fascinating battle. It will be really interesting to see the TMO and MMY's response to this situation should they lose the lawsuit! And also interesting to see what teachers around the world do and if TM instruction actually picks up. Also, Tm is not the only technique that can take a person in the directionof Enlightenment. So if a person really wants to learn to meditate, there are other valid methods on this planet, some for free. ------------------------ Yahoo!
