Jim, once again you expose a narrow minded view of a topic that is anything but cut and dry. As usual you highlight exactly why your opinions on Maharaji and Knowledge must be disregarded by thinking people... people who may be trying to fairly judge for themselves, instead of having a self-styled "expert" such as yourself tell them what they should believe. You relegate yourself to the same asylum as other crackpots whose intolerance force them to disregard valid alternative perspectives, just because they differ from their own. Sure Jim, intolerance makes you sound decisive and strong, but it proves itself time and time again to be is an inherently weak position when reality chews away your "reality".

To say ex-premies by virtue of being "ex" are the best authority on Maharaji and Knowledge, is in itself narrow-minded. By so saying, you infer that anybody who came and went, no matter how out of touch they may have been with themselves, are "knowledgeable" on the topic. That is a preposterous claim.

For you who left, your understanding of what makes someone stay, in reality, is quite negligable. I'll grant you expertise on why YOU stayed. I'll grant you that. As for what keeps someone else interested, you have no inkling, and certainly no expertise on the matter. How could someone so narrow minded as yourself see beyond their own opinions so as to understand the plight of another? The two just don't mix.
