I just wanted to add that the way premies now talk, with their trumped up stories of how they deftly resisted the siren calls of the organization, PAMs, Holy Family, mahatmas and instructors, to dedicate and surrender, it's as if they want to prove that they, too, have discerning minds.  The message is that they don't need to analyze anything, they did it all so thoroughly years ago.  The only trouble is, they're lying. 

 

Well now, that’s an intelligent and tolerant response Jim. Something I would expect from Pol Pot or Osama Bin Laden.

 

 

Yes, people resisted surrendering alright but it sure wasn't because they thought that wasn't what Rawat really wanted.  He couldn't have been clearer: surrendering to him was what it was all about and surrender to him meant surrending his way which in turn meant joining in and doing whatever was asked of you. 

 

Just what did surrender mean Jim? Did it mean surrendering to what you thought it meant to surrender? Or what Joe Premie did that apparently looked like surrendering? Or was surrender based on what he said last year, even though that seemed to be contradicted by what he said yesterday? Or was it surrendering to your mind telling you what your heart was feeling? Or maybe when in doubt (assuming you left room for it) it meant taking ideas on the topic from the Gita-Bible-Vedas-Koran-Torah-Shastras… just to be sure.

 

So just what did it mean to “surrender to him” mate? Do you think many people got it right? (By the way, on a scale of 1 to 10, how did you do?)
