That is not true. TM is only taught to those who want to learn it.
There is no obligation to take the path. The organization is very
careful not to do a hard sell. I remember going to one TM meeting
afterward one of the Governors came to me and wanted to make sure I did
not feel like I was sold on joining the program.
