About 5  years ago or so, raja ji did a tour of communities, asking for the 2 things that never seem to change:

1-more money from premies

2-bring in new converts

In his talk, he said something like this:

maharaji wants us to bring in new people to the into programs. However, the only people I already know who might come if  I invited them are my friends, and I want to keep my friends.

I got a big laugh, and he repeated his little joke in other communities as well.
