hi Mike

Thank you for your civil response and insight. I have read your posts and open letter Maharaji.  The personal relationship one has to Maharaji obviously is not the same for everyone, otherwise it would not be personal. I see how you may have  pursed this, (your second goal you write about in your letter) caused you struggle, angst, sometimes isolation.  I can't deny that some do run after the experience of trying to get his attention, chasing him if you will, with brief moments of satisfaction, but deeper isolation and debt probaly follows when either it's not what they expected, or when the travel bills come in.  There are quite a few people who gave up the chase, still enjoy Knowledge and have a huge respect for Maharaji and totally enjoy his presence when that happens.    I think alot of the views here are from the fall out of the system of chasing and gambling everything for one more shot... obviously it doesn't last, and I agree is immature.  However, that is not experience I want to cultivate or honor. 

I wish you only the best is continued inner wealth and freedom.
