For many, many people, "Knowledge" does not "deliver." Their brains are "hardwired" differently and meditation doesn't produce the effect in the brain that it might for you or anyone else.

Granted, for some it does. But this is where we part company. It's all brain chemistry. It's not the "heart" or "spiritual" or anything else. Neurology has proven this unequivalently. Rawat is misleading people.

I make no claims about "having it all figured out." But people much more educated than I have gotten pretty darn close to figuring it out. There's a "god spot" in the brain, which when stimulated produces euphoric, transcendental experiences.

It's not a product to be packaged and sold like Rawat and Company does. It's part of human nature and we now have a much clearer idea of what's happening in a neurological sense. Rawat has no business interfering with peoples' lives given he once was a cult leader and actually a very poor role model with his alcoholism, grotesque materialism, womanizing, etc. He does a poor job of teaching meditation even.

I acknowledge he's trying to change the outward trapping of "Knowledge." I have to be cynical here and say the man is doing this only for his self-aggrandizement and financial gain. Otherwise he would have taken Mischler's advice and stepped down from his throne years ago.

The thing is, it looks like a cult, even now. If people want to meditate, there are many other sources to learn about it. Why take a chance on someone who was a cult leader at one time and may in fact, still be a cult leader? It's not worth it.
