I vaguely recall a lecture in which Maharishi quoted the closing of John Milton's sonnet, "On His Blindness," which ends with "They also serve who only stand and wait." As I recall, Maharishi sampled that line to support his teaching that transcending was not essential to gaining the benefits of TM; merely standing outside the door of the transcendent was sufficient.
Does anyone here remember that lecture? What do you recall? Thanks. P.S. I thought that line was taken from the Bible, but I can't find it there.
