"no premie was EVER good enough! Catch 22!"In fact, that's like the ultimate codependent relationship. No matter how much you serve the abuser, it's never good enough. And in the Rawat cult, no matter how much anyone served, bowed and scraped, it never was good enough. Whip, whip, flagellate oneself and each other...
Remember this line from Rawat and his instructors, too?
"If you knew who Guru Maharaj ji was you'd be crying for the rest of your life."
Actually, that seems kind of funny now - because you could look at it two ways:
Prem and his cult wanted us to believe he was the Lord in the flesh, "Perfect Master" of our time [like Jesus allegedly was et al, according to the cult], and if we only knew the truth - that he was God in human form - then we'd be crying for the rest of our lives.
We are not worthy!!
On the other hand, if we sacrificed most of our adult lives in "Devotion" to Him only to find out he was really a fraud, then maybe a part of us would be crying the rest of our lives, too - for wasting our lives following a greedy megalomaniacal manipulator.
Flashback:
Oh, what bliss - to be graced with the opportunity to do volunteer selfless service: to scrub his floors, put sod in his lawn, clean the pool, wash his cars, and maybe, just maybe, one might even get a piece of prashad - some leftover spit out piece of tomato from his dinner plate that was saved by a devotee kitchen slave to share with a fellow devotee of the living Lord. But alas, there was a thumbprint on the fender and a speck of dirt under the car - we are not worthy of such divine droppings from the Lord's plate!
The devotee is not worthy enough, the master is never satisfied.
Tear down the house and start building it all over again, and again, and then again...
Whip, whip, flagellate oneself - and each other - in Devotion to the Perfect Master.
David Mankoff: Maharaji needs a new luxury jet plane. We gave him our bank account, but that was not enough. We are not worthy! We must do more, we must give more, in service to the living Lord, Maharaji, the Great King - and we are his lowly unworthy servants, not fit to be called devotees of the Master.
Note: In their discourses and writings, both Shri Hans and Prem Rawat have referred to their devotees as "dogs."
To any lurking premies [Rawat students]: What kind of 'master' is That?! That's a really sick bizarre relationship - master/slave, master/devotee, and now Rawat students signing away their legal rights in submission in order to receive the so-called 'keys.' Sick. Sikh. Seek something better in life, dear friends. Save yourselves a world of pain.
"Waiting the word of the Master... " Well, don't hold your breath!
