By the time he said that there were several hundred people that had been practicing TM for over ten years. Go figure.
Enlightenment, that is, Moksha, is already accomplished - all that is is required is to *isolate* the Purusha, which, in every case is totally separate from the prakriti. Enlightenment is not a state gained, but a state revealed, through Self Realization. In fact, TM IS NOT the cause of enlightenment - the practice of TM simply provides the ideal opportunity for transcending. According to Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Brahman, that is, the Transcendental State, is Light itself - it needs no other light to illuminate it. You are not going to get any more enlightenment than you are going to get.
