He then went on to say that if we (including myself) are full of our own ideas we cannot help him - we will just get in the way. Wow! What a blast.

This sentence is in bold and several points larger for emphasis. It reminds me exactly of the kind of things we used to say back in the late 70's. Reading it today and realising that things don't seemed to have changed at all in the minds of pwk is gobsmacking. By the way, the person who Caz is quoting as saying this, one Prashant from Goa, seems to be some kind of honcho.

So let me get this straight. The only person who's ideas have any merit with regards to propagation or anything else concerning Prem Rawat's so-called mission is Prem Rawat. From printing flyers to renting exclusive presidential suites, the rest of us just don't have a clue and if we try to offer our own creative input we will just get in the way. The best a poor pwk can hope for is to be a non-thinking drone who just follows the words of the master, who ALWAYS knows best.

He goes on:

Then Maharaji talked - many many things we were told but the essence. He said it was like he was in a fort and could look out and see down the line - that we couldn't see but he had a vision for 2005-6 to share.

A prayer I could have said in 1978 that would be just as valid today: Oh my Master Prem Rawat, let me be nothing but a vessel for your will, your wisdom and your grace. Alone I am confused. My crazy mind will only lead me astray and become an obstacle for you in your work.

Don't let me think for myself, heaven forbid I should have my own ideas about something, just let me be a good worker bee.

Oh no, it's not a cult anymore.

And of course if Prem is vague enough with his direction, which he will be, and things don't work out as planned, which they won't, then it will naturally be the premies' fault once (again) because they were thinking for themselves (again).

Here is the entire post from the pwkindia journal:

Letter from Caz from U.k. who lives in Manali,himachal pradesh,north india.
Met Prashant in the Goa ashram during the winter and asked him to come to Manali to help here as apart from me and one Swedish guy there are no premies here. He couldn't come after Holi but I had a phone call from him a couple of weeks ago and he was coming to Delhi for a conference with Maharaji. He arrived a week ago at 4.30 in the morning and he, Pema (Swedish premie) and I sat drinking chai while he told us about the event. It started with one of the Indian's from RVK talking about propagation and asking people for suggestions. There were plenty of ideas! Then he stopped everyone and asked them to read their invitation card. It said it was a conference for Maharaji to share his vision with them!

He then went on to say that if we (including myself) are full of our own ideas we cannot help him - we will just get in the way. Wow! What a blast.
