Hi Gok,

I have put the quote from you above as the bit I want to respond to. My response to it is well okay then what is the actual reality, how are you going decide that?

If you are not going to rely on any labels saying who Maharaji is then are you going to accept the evidence of your perception? Personally I have found that when it comes to the evidence of my perception, I can talk about it with other people and exchange notes as it were. And the conclusion I have reached is that Maharaji is a stage show, not a real person at all, a persona just like Barry Humphries’ Dame Edna Everage.

The actual reality, the bit that came out of Matajis’ tum, the human being who sits on a…. look I could say something funny here, but I won’t, I just wish the day would come when I could and you along with my erstwhile premie friends would laugh and enjoy the joke too.

Instead of being offended at my lack of respect for a person you hold in the deepest affection and esteem. As I was exiting I remember calling it open heart surgery. And the knife has a label attached, it says ‘what is it I really loved’.
