I have heard the "Knowledge works" argument by people who KNOW that Prem Rawat is more than a conman, a criminal personality with no empathy nor remorse, and justify their involvement with his cult by the "fact" that "knowledge" works. Knowledge is a religious belief system where a subjective feeling is given the status of "the divine", and the "people who have knowledge" believe that this feeling they have makes them "having" a "knowledge" of "the divine" vs the other people who dont close their eyes, turn their tongues around, close their ears and sit still for an hour per day, are "ignorant" and don't have "knowledge". This arrogance the premies have derives from their belief in a straight LIE: that doing some physical yoga techniques brings "knowledge" . Unless you want to re-define knowledge and say it's not about knowing something but believing you know- no it does not bring "knowledge" it just brings various feelings, as many physical techniques do, some of which are self-induced trance, and the same feeling of "knowing the divine", of self-induced trance is felt when premies do other stuff, irrelevant to the "techniques", like "listening" to the "message" (ie prem rawat talking in a hypnotic way about how nice it is to be cut off from the world, not give a sh** about the rest of the world but only focus on "the feeling" inside) etc. Hans Rawat has expressed in his post on facebook under Don's post and discussion that followed in a very moderate and very accurate way, the "knowledge works" trip: "When I read the descriptions of the four yogas online I realized instantly what my father had never told me. These were the components that create the experience of “knowledge”. It has nothing to do with my father’s claims of being a master of “perfection” as he puts it. In fact whenever someone comes along who has a greater grasp of language and speaks more convincingly about the spiritual con that is Knowledge, my father quickly puts them in their place. The last thing he wants is for someone else to run away with his golden goose. Behind the scenes, he acts more like a mob boss than someone with spiritual mastery. Gurus are ubiquitous in India. An expert recently estimated that there are over ten thousand cults in the United States alone. People think this experience is special and devote their life to this man. Why? So many premies have told me, “your father saved me” I often wonder. Saved from what? Boredom? No. It turns out that many suffered from acute emotional trauma before receiving knowledge. The loss of loved ones in a tragic way. Abuse in their childhood, rejection by loved ones and so on. People quote my father and say, “knowledge works”. My response to that is, yes it does, so does Fentanyl! Does that mean everyone in pain should use it? Not necessarily, opioids regularly ruin people’s lives. However, Im sure some people swear by it. So what about worshipping a false idol, does that ruin lives? I believe in some cases it has. I also believe it can ruin more than just your life on earth. That is of course a belief but a belief that has been around since the time of the old testament. The way I see it, the experience of knowledge is a rehashing of one of the world’s oldest religions. The methods tap deep into the human psyche and can create a powerful experience when fully adopted and implemented by the practitioner.”
