David
To follow my earlier post which dealt with Guru Dev and the subject of thorns,
here is another to address your suggestion that I was dismissing the teaching
of TM - I am not! You couldn't be further from the truth as I have practiced
this form of meditation for nigh on forty years, only
'We forgive the thorns, and trust that they will wither without our attention.'
This is such a good example of the potential disconnect between the experience
of meditation and indoctrinated mumbo-jumbo that can sometimes associated with
it.

Yoga Sutras says that the Kleshas (mental thorns, obstacles to experience of
aatmaa) are removed by effort and indifference, or application and
non-attachment, abhyaasa vairaagyaabhyaam tan nirodhah.
Or, as Maharishi would say, by an effortless effort.

Dear Paul,
It is not by doubting the words of the Guru that one gains knowledge, but by
trying to understand them, and by practicing the teaching. If you have doubts
over the validity of a statement, then humbly question the teacher. Dismissing
the whole teaching is not helpful.

Dominating conversation
Alas they crush the sweetest rose
Rejoicing in ruination
The loudest voices shrill in pitch
Drown out the softer spoken
Love to hear each other bitch
