Duv...in brief, I think the reason you don't see "pleasing personalities on their way to sainthood" is because MMY only teaches 1/8 of Maharishi Patanjali's 8 limbs of Yoga. Even though he acknowledges that all 8 must be practiced simultaneously, as stated in his Gita, he seldom emphasizes it. Yama and Niyama are the foundations to a spiritual life. When MMY compromised and taught TM as a Science instead of a Religion (like it was originally) much of the quality was lost, albiet quantity increased, (hence you see a dope like me 38 years and still meditating) but now I practice ALL eight limbs of Maharishi Patanjali's Yoga, do you? And yes, I'm beginning to make progress, real progress!!! snip>> > "Mr. Magoo" says, "Thanks...but, what's your alternative, now that > you've bailed on TM?" > > I say, "Thanks for that word "bailed."
