I have some peach trees on a bit of land in France. Each spring, the new leaves become distorted, curl up and fall off. A disease called peach leaf curl. The locals hang bags of egg shells in the branches when they see peach leaf curl.

I asked how it works. Generally I get the answer, we don't know, it just works.

Peach leaf curl is caused by a microbe that comes in the winter rain and affects the buds in spring. If you leave the trees, do nothing, the trees put out new leaves in June which aren't affected by peach leaf curl.

This happens if you hang a bag of eggshells in the tree. But also if you do nothing. But it seems the majority panic when they see all the leaves fall off and think they'd better do as their neighbours and hang the eggshells. New leaves grow. It appears to work.

If you sit quietly and breath gently and deeply and try to quieten your thoughts, you will feel more calm and peaceful.

This happens whether you think you have a special knowledge given by a special man or not. It happens anyway.

Mr Rawat's 'knowledge' is as useless as a bag of eggshells in a tree.

'knowledge works'. So does nothing.
