Potential if not inevitable burn out.

Before Xmas a premie I know took her life.  This is a very sad event especially for some people I am very close to, more than for myself.

She had been to Amaroo (the last time M attended) and had attended prior events there spending a lot of time in the place where they all drink.  This was not a good thing for her as she already had a substance abuse problem. 

What does knowledge do for people with mental disabilities or psychosis?  Does it help or indeed increase the psychosis?  When one tried to communicate with this person that she was obviously in trouble she would respond with satsang.  How can you help someone who thinks they are already saved?

No premie attended her funeral.

My deduction – knowledge doesn’t work.  Premies tell me it works for them but I believe Maharaji should modify his advertising to “knowledge works for some people – around 1/3 of the people who receive it seem to gain some benefit”.  It would be closer to the truth!

I know in one satsang he said if you have mental problems you see a psychiatrist – but if you want peace you take this knowledge.  Does not the psychotic person want peace?  This is a very misleading statement and I wonder if M cared at all about this person or even knew of her existence. 

I don't write this to be disrespectful to her but am a little angry that she got no good advice.
