You appear to be trying to goad former followers of rawat into defending their lives, in a very round about and nearly devious way. Surely you don't imagine people will fall for this? The former premies I know are interesting, active people who truly look forward to every day. To ask them to enumerate the positive things in their lives is insulting and belittling. It also seems to me a statement that you can't imagine they have any positives in their lives. Perhaps I am wrong about that?
Most active premies I know seem to feel, and many have stated openly to me, that their lives would fall apart without rawat, that they "are nothing" without him, that rawat loves them more than anyone else and so on in that nauseating vein. Apparently these active premies have nothing positive in their lives. Now, that is truly sad."There are many other positive things in my life which help me a lot (which are not in conflict with my practice of Knowledge),"
This quote of yours makes me wonder if positive things in a premie's life, which do not interfer with the practice of knowledge, is not the exception rather than the rule. Given my experience of active premies who have almost no life apart from rawat and the knowlege he claims to give, gok, I would ask you, just what positive things do you have in your life? You could surely do the premies I've met a favor my giving some examples. I do know that some of them read this forum, so, gok, tell us about your positive life which does not interfer with your practice of knowledge.
