Also (see other post), (although I think the whole concept is bound up in linear earthbound thought patterns) what is it that you think is not justice? When Maharishi says the man is "liberated and his individuality has merged into cosmic existence", surely he means that the soul is not bound to even come back to the world, so what is wrong with the concept that his good karma would go back to his bloodline. The bloodline must have some significance in cosmic reality, not just humpity bumpity, squirty squirty (as in MDIXON's case). Surely you would hope your children and grandchildren would benefit from your spiritual growth. However, I really think the whole concept is metaphorical created by humans to satisy the cosmic story in their minds. Life is just a play being re-played for fun, so it needs a context that can portray the plot for any given culture, (on Earth, or on another planet?). In other words, in the context of the quote you gave, what happens to the liberated man whose most powerful concept is: "The World is My Family" ? OffWorld
