Please discuss the value of the Vedic tradition of masters who have preserved this meditation for thousands of years in its purity.
Yeah, for thousands of years people have passed on the technique of meditation one by one. Usually people would say they would give this technique to someone who qualifies and who is capable, then they will make the best use of it. You know they would wait for a right student to come to impart meditation and they would test the student several times before they would even take them as a disciple. Masters would not take everybody as a disciple, if one doesn’t qualify, they would not even teach them anything. I took a completely different stance. If they qualify, well and good, else just teach them and whatever progress they make, let them make. So I just opened the flood gates and said, “Let’s give it to everyone” and we will see and make those capable if they raise to that level, okay! That is the difference between this age and those in the past. In the past it used to be very tough.
