---TM in itself can make people passive, ultimately leading to the Bliss-Ninny state; even more dangerous when one's satellite dish is constantly on the Maharishi channel. Once, a non-meditating young fellow from Brit posted a complaint in which he says his Dad no longer works, but spends all of his time meditating and watching the MMY channel. For those of you who practice TM but don't do the Siddhis, I recommend the Gayatri mantra. This helps integrate Bliss with "outer" activity, so that getting into work and doing constructive things becomes more natural than sitting around. MMY doesn't like japa mantra even though it's a traditional practice in the Shankaracharya Tradition. Start with one round a day. Do this for 30 days and record your results. You will have overall, a more productive life. > I can't seem to come up with a rational reason to spend a great > portion of my life in meditation. What gets accomplished?
