What a jerk! Whoever posted this, and other anti TM posts I've read on Fairfield Life, always have this, "I'm more holy than you" ring and are fundamentalists in themselves. Whoever you are, don't you realize that there are many, many people that have had true Self- Realization through the TM path, which not only makes your post totally irrevelevant, but more importantly shows that it is not necessarily true. The TM path has come directly out of the Shankaracharya tradition. Are you going to try to tell me that the Shankaracharya tradition is not valid either? Why can't you just keep your opinions to yourself? Whatever you believe is fine and I can respect it. But why waste your time trying to take down someone else's spiritual beliefs? Does it make you feel better about yourself because you think you have the "true way" and you're going to help all of us poor souls who have been deluded by Maharishi? Thanks, but no thanks. >
