According to Robert Hollings, "One day, while meditating, Maharishi had the thought that he should go to a certain village in India. He had no idea why he should go there, and at first he just ignored it. However, the thought persisted, and eventually he decided to mention it to his companion. Apparently, this same thought kept coming to Maharishi over quite a long period. The first time that he mentioned it, the other replied that it was just a meaningless thought, and it would pass. However, it did not pass, and although Maharishi hesitated to bring it up again, he eventually did so. When this had occured several times, the companion eventually said that Maharishi had better go to this village, and then he would see that there was nothing there and could come back to meditate in peace" (Hollings, 1982). "This is holy ground," his companion said. "All the rest is just mud."
