Remember how Rawat rationalized vegetarianism?  Something about sucking and licking animals, and that seeds are "dead?"

One time I heard him tell an "interested person" who asked a question at an intro program that being involved politically was a total waste of time.

He one time said that after WWII, the USA should have invaded the Soviet Union.  Yeah, right.  I guess it could have used the one or two atomic bombs it was otherwise going to throw into the garbage.

Rawat, on many occasions, said that he had "never" read a book (up to that point), had no regard whatsoever for education, and was amazingly clueless when it came to how the world actually operated.

He does seem to have developed enough intellectual capacity to get good Cognac, or so I am told.
