I don’t know how premies can rationalize away this absolutely dehumanizing and yes, hateful talk about people, that came out of the mouth of Prem Rawat when he spoke to the ones who loved him the most in the world. The most dreadfully ironic thing is that by this time, he was probably never meditating himself, but spending most of his time drunk and smoking dope – all on the premie dole. To imagine that Prem Rawat thinks he is such a great person when all he has ever done is to try to take away premies' feeling of self-worth. He tried to suck the life right out of people, while trying to replace our life with himself, by even telling premies that we shouldn't identify ourselves by our given names -- no, we must identify ourselves as being him!
I'm quite certain that at the time Rawat was talking like this, in August, 1978, he easily could have lead us into a jungle and fed us Flavor-Aid and cyanide. After all, within less than a year of this satsang, he did have hundreds of premies very close by in Miami, cloistered at DECA, working to exhaustion, with virtually no real contact with the outside world.
"And by Guru Maharaj Ji’s grace, every second, every moment, every inch of the way things are manifesting and manifesting. And when we let go to that Guru Maharaj Ji, when we let go and surrender ourselves…Because who are we? Before that we were nothing. After that we are nothing. But we become one when we accomplish that purpose of why we are really here in this world.
"So premies, keep on doing that satsang, service and meditation. And just flow with that experience. Because without that experience we’re lifeless. We become who we are. Not Joe Blow, not Smith, not Kathy, not John, not this not that. We become who we really are. And if we forget who we really are, if we let go of Guru Maharaj Ji and really forget who we really are in the true sense of the word, then it’s almost like commiting suicide, it’s almost like dying."
