I think that's one of the reasons Rawatism is so seductive - it simultaneously allows you to be absolutely certain about one thing and completely uncertain about everything else at the same time.

It's the only religion that allows you to stay atheist. The only way it gets away with this is by defining itself as beyond the simple dichotomy of religion vs non-religion.

'It's so simple' - no it's not. Not thinking is simple. Knowledge itself is so goddamned complicated that no-one can understand it, least of all the people practising it. But then, that's their own fault for trying to understand it.

Who thought this up? It's frightfully clever. Was whatever it was that was taught by Prem's father anything along these lines?
