Let's say someone is selling cream to get rid of zits, and is claiming that this is the zit cream of all zit creams. Wouldn't it be OK to take a look at his skin, and if it's covered with zits, wouldn't it be reasonable to look elsewhere for a solution to the problem of zits?Rawat is claiming he has something that will bring peace to a person's life (he used to claim he could show you God face to face, but let's stick with 'peace' for now). It's only reasonable to ask if he has peace in his life, from using his product. But no, he drinks heavily, he has a mistress, he has, or least had, casual sex with people he had power over, he has insatiable greed (a barbecue with sensors that cost $10,000 each - for fuck's sake, all you need is a few lumps of charcoal, some barbecue lighting fluid and a match!), and has a bad temper. Not a good advert for his product.
I reckon I'm much more at peace than Rawat - I see all these new gizmos that keep coming on to the market, and years ago I would have wanted them - now I have few desires. No, Reporter, you are wrong - for the product he is selling, he has to be able to demonstrate that it works in his life, and his life proves that for him at least, it does not work.
John.
