Does Maharaji use this "Knowledge" to create attachment to him or dependence?
The practise of Knowledge provides an experience of peace. The association of students with him is purely voluntary. There are no rules to follow, no organisations to join, and no membership fees to pay. Maharaji's Knowledge is given freely, and those who practise it but later change their minds, are certainly entitled to do so. Maharaji encourages those who do not appreciate his message to freely move on.
