'If A = B and B = C, then A = C' has got to be step one of logic.
But somehow, logic itself became unacceptable to many premies, at least when applied to Mr Rawat.
The cult was a logic free zone, unless it was Indian logic. I remember a mahatma explaining that a swan was pure because it had filters in its beak to filter out the sediment, so that it could drink clean water. I knew he was right about the filters, but they are for skimming out the crud from the water, the crud being swan food. I still stayed though, thinking I had western logic and Indian logic available to me. The beginning of cognitive dissonance.
When we sang Arti, and meant it, I don't remember him looking around to see who we were singing it to. Thankfully, I've now forgotten the words, but it was full Hindu superlatives. Wasn't he greater than God?
