<<I don't think that this is about how big or how small, but about the freedom to chose, the freedom to love and the freedom to feel.>>

The one thing no-one can really take from you is your freedom to love or feel  It may be something we give away, but if we choose to feel love for someone, that doesn't depend on anyone agreeing with us, or giving us permission.  I'd like to know how you think any one, ex-premie or not, interferes in any way with this personal choice?  Even in prison, if our body is shackled, our minds and hearts are not.  I feel love more now than I did when I was a devotee of Maharaji.  I love people more, I love myself more, and I feel freer because there's no-one telling me how to do it, or that I should devote myself to only them.

Feeling annoyed or threatened by people talking of their personal experiences and feelings is a sign of weakness, a sign of unacknowledged fear. Real love can't be taken away, by Maharaji or ex-premies. In my opinion.
