Cringe indeed. Sad to think that more people, who became our friends, or might have genuinely liked us or what we had to say; ran a risk if they actually listened to what we always worked into the conversation eventually.
Impressed by 'shiny shens' and drawn in by rawatian riddles some still stand in line, waiting for his blessing, which will not: cannot come: being purely imaginary.
But cultivating within, as we all know, in so many ways, an ill, which is a sort of malais of the self. An affliction which eventually leaves no part of the being untouched. If, (in spite of all scientific evidence,) there is such a thing as a 'soul', even that would have been attacked.
But: for the mind and it's healthy components, confidence, identity, livelihood, recreation, relationships, hobbies, burning passions, etc. and all the body parts, which, healthy or not, cannot defend against depression of the "spirit" of it's owner:- I know it to be not only of no benefit but dangerous, being able to destroy, piece by piece, our own hold on our life.
In my first satsang attempts I remember saying something like, if I were you I would continue your own search and try to find this for yourself, it will mean more to you.
I was overheard and told never to say that.
Even humanity loses something, whose individuals are deprived of their place and contribution in the mainstream flow of human reseach and discovery, and whose energies and contributions are ultimately wasted supporting a sham: leaving our race and it's history a little poorer.
On balance it is unwise to gamble on living a lie.
Best wishes
