I remember when I'd go to the Malibu residence to do "free work", it would usually be twice a year for about a week at a time. Sometimes I'd take 2 or 3 other people who I paid for out of my own pocket. Including air fare, hotels, rental car, meals, and if I was to charge for my time, each trip would have easily been worth $15K to 20K.
Then there were always other teams of premies working on some other projects, probably at least at the same cost/value. Plus, the cook, the maid, a guy to work on all those cars, the landscapers, security guards, the resident House Managers, irrigation and electrical experts, the Office Staff; all would have cost a fortune, if in fact they were paid a fair wage. But they either worked for free or were paid next to nothing.
And with all these people milling around with their tongues jammed into their sinus cavities trying to not miss a single breath, there wasn't a lot of friendly interaction going on. Many of us were secretly terrified of making a mistake and getting the family upset, but of course no-one would admit that or even talk about it. All of it for the sake of helping satisfy Rawat's insatiable greed. The exact opposite of peace and bliss.
