Listen, Neville, and you others.  I am 100% convinced that at the very least, Maharaji is the authorized representative on this planet.  He knows something.  I have seen too much and felt too much over the years to doubt the validity of Knowledge and M.  That means I have zero doubt about this.  ZERO DOUBT.  Understand?  You all can criticise it, but the bottom line is that Knowledge works for me.  I see light, I feel peace, I am fulfilling my purpose by getting to know that stillness within me. 

You believe Maharaji is a God in a body.  And you have zero doubts.

At the Long Beach Aspirant meeting on May 30 (or 31st) of 1997(?), Maharaji began by saying that Knowledge was not a resource, it is THE SOURCE.  My experience shows me that.  I'll tell you right now that I'm really comfortable betting on M and K.  I want freedom.  Within me, I find it as a result of my practice, participation and listening.  LIFE WOULD BE PHONY AND DARK WITHOUT M & K. 

If you are so sure, what's the need for the bet?

Ultimately, all will have to realize that Knowledge puts one in touch with the centerpoint within.  I know that M knows it.  I've seen his magic and listened to him many times.  I intend to take full advantage of Knowledge.  I was not a desperate seeker.  I was someone looking for the underlying reality.  I have found it.  I value it.  I admire it.  I appreciate it.  I am thankful for it.  And I will gratefully show my appreciation to he who gave it to me for as long as I have breath.  As long as the water faucet is still producing clean, pure fresh water, I'll continue to drink from it.  If the faucet dries up, I'll look for another one.  Until then, I will continue to enjoy this water.  Get it?  

First you say you have zero doubts, Joy, then you say..."If the faucet dries up, I'll look for another one." 

Have you ever heard of something called cognitive dissonance?
