The term 'Knowledge' is used amongst premies in many ways.

It is used to refer to the experience you sometimes get when you meditate.
It is used to refer to the experience you get at an 'event'.
It was used to refer to the experience you get in satsang, or doing 'service'.
Knowledge is also something you practise, which used to mean doing satsang, service and meditation. Now, it seems to mean meditating, watching videos, and flying off to events when the call comes.

You suggest 'all there is to the "experience" of Knowledge is devotion'.

Knowledge is a term used far too loosely - it just becomes what you want it to become.

Listen - that experience you get when you meditate is just as available whether you have a master or not. It is even available to people who have had a master and rejected him.

The rest of it, I think your analogy of the football supporter is apt. Football supporters get quite an experience on the terraces. So do cricket supporters too these days (did you see their faces? Blissed out!).

Why not just meditate if you want to, and support a football team too? What would you be missing, except the whole ludicrous belief structure that goes with being a devotee of Maharaji?

Bulent, why do you write Master with a captial 'M'? Are you inferring 'Perfect Master'? (Capital P, capital M). You know, along the lines of Jesus, Mohammed etc.?
