Cod philosophy: "Pseudo-philosophy. A philosophical idea or system which does not meet an expected set of standards."

Then I looked-up pseudo-philosophy: "deliberations that masquerade as philosophical but are inept, incompetent, deficient in intellectual seriousness and reflective of an insufficient commitment to the pursuit of truth"

Before I got sidetracked on definitions, your post reminded me of when Maharaji put premies under intense pressure to do propagation, practically to the extent that you couldn't consider yourself truly devoted or committed if you didn't try, i.e., you couldn't think of yourself as a good premie and all the nagging guilt it entailed. So one day, hopeful that it would erase his negative impressions of "the guru," I mustered the courage to give a dear friend an introductory video. I heard nothing.

A couple of weeks later, I asked him if he'd watched the video and if so, what he thought about it. "It sounded like a bunch of dogma." I never broached the subject again and that was the last time I ever tried to share anything about Maharaji, Prem Rawat or Knowledge with anyone in an attempt to spread Knowledge or do propagation.* But although it clearly had a negative connotation, I never looked-up the definition of dogma until today:

About as valid and relevant as a self-important cod separating itself and pontificating to other fish in the shoal.

Shoal: "a school of fish"
