Hi Bear I know exactly what you are saying, and I feel the same way. I too gave my heart openly and freely to Maharaji, and there were undoubtedly good times I had with him. I too felt my heart was broken, but I assure you it can be mended again. I now feel a great sense of awe, love and amazement at this universe and my life in it, and there is no intermediary needed! People can help, of course, and give advice and make suggestions - but it is now just me and what is around me (other people, this world, the stars) with no guru in the way! The good bit is that just as he had no grace or love to give us, beyond that of any ordinary person, so he has no power now to stop us feeling love again. When we loved him, the love came from us; now we have seen through him, the same love is still there - it is only our fear and anger, perhaps, and the feeling of our hearts being broken, that stop it. The really good bit is that now we can make intelligent and informed decisions about where we direct our love. And just because we once gave our love to a cause and to someone who did not deserve it, does not mean that we should now withhold our love from those around us who *do* deserve it (including ourselves, of course). That means he scores twice. For myself, I will only settle for his scoring once (can't avoid that, it has happened and is in the past); I will not let him score again. And was it really love we gave him anyway? Love needs to be freely given, I think, and the feeling I had for Maharaji was not freely given. Perhaps in the beginning it was, but it soon had something of the desperate and sycophantic about it. -- Mike
