Your post probably cannot be used to criticize you over much since it is impossible to judge a person from such little information. But what your post does reveal is a very unworthy attitude. I'm not sure you are really as narrow-minded and downright stupid as your post indicates.
Why do I say stupid? Because only an unintelligent person would defend Rawat's alleged nasty behavior in the way that you did, by saying that even the nastiest behavior is no reason to end a relationship. You've ended up admitting the point in question, even condoning it, without seeming to realize what you are doing. Stupid.
Why do I say narrow-minded? Well, all premies are narrow-minded because they are willing to exclusively follow a path that involves Rawat as the only authority figure and the four techniques as the defined proper way for inner exploration. But the inner realities and the sources of beauty and truth can never be so narrowly defined. You, as an example of a premie, have demonstrated and personified this narrow-minded quality in blazing light. All you care about is what you experience from practicing those four techniques. Period. You admit it freely, even proudly, and have no idea what kind of impression you are making on reasonable people who don't share you own narrow-mindedness.
But, what is also interesting is what you do NOT reaveal. Your name and what it is that you experience with the four techniques. You don't really answer the original questions except in the vaguest terms possible, that you like it. Well, if you like it, great. But that doesn't explain anything to us. So, who are you and what do you experience? If you are so satisfied and so proud, why not proclaim it loudly and clearly so that we can all understand. The fact is that we are ex-premies, and we already know what it is that premies experience. And we already know why they stay anonymous and quiet and don't really share their inner wisdom. Because it is mostly struggle, being a premie. Mostly struggle to live up to the ideal that has been imposed upon you. Enjoy each and every breath with great gratitude for being alive! Is that what you experience? Don't bother to answer because I know the answer already.
Maharaji is living in a dream world. And so are you. And you deserve each other. And it would be easy to just walk and move on and forget the whole thing. But it's so sad. Somebody needs to fight it. Rawat is currently in a campaign to make himself appear legitimate. He will not succeed because he is patently and obviously illegitimate and everybody can see that clearly except for a few fools like you. And you, who try to help him legitimize himself, can do no more than stubbornly adhere to your own cultish belief system, which is obvious everytime you open your mouth about your Master and his perfect Knowledge.
See link for the blatant efforts to make Rawat appear legitimate, (by booking him at Harvard and U.N. buildings and requesting that mayors of cities give him awards and contacting certain obscure magazines to print fraudulent "interviews.") As long as Rawat continues to perpetrate his dream world, there will be people who will fight him. Get used to it.
And by the way, good luck with getting all your friends to listen to the Keys and join you in your cult. Because that's what your Master wants you to do this year. The Keys are going to bring peace to so many people in 2005. Oh, but that's right, you don't care about all those other people.
