Satsang was not for poring over to get the intellectual meaning and think about how you can manifest it but for listening to in a meditative state and allowing the universal energy to come through you. Trust. Surrender. These didn't mean to trust in everything Rawat said as he made mistakes in his satsangs but to trust in God and surrender to the process of realisation through SS&M.

Paddy,

I never said anything about looking for any particular "intellectual meaning" in Rawat's words.  We never did that.  Primarily, because there wasn't any.  Also, we were well aware of the experience-over-words concept.  Basic premie training, wasn't it?

 But we did take him at face value.  And that did mean trusting everything he said.  He was the Lord, remember?  As in Creator?  I would love to see an example of something he said back then that you felt comfortable thinking was simply wrong.  It might have been a trifling thing like the pronunciation of "nuclear" but if it had to do with spiritual matters, I can't imagine it.
