Very good points about needs, Bill, and how we all need to overcome them--ha, ha.
I personally started TM for the relaxation benefits it claimed you'd feel, and that is still why I continue the practice. The concept of "enlightenment," whatever it might mean to others, is so vague as to be meaningless IMO, and as such has never had much of a place in my world view and hence stay out of all discussions in which it comes up. (Not to mention the fact that, probably because of its vagueness, I find most discussions of it kind of boring. But others obviously don't, so discuss away! :) ) Sal On Aug 12, 2006, at 10:14 AM, Bill (William)Simmons wrote: > Ironically I think the path to enlightment is the path in which we > do away with all our needs.
