Someone famous has actually admitted in public to listening to Rawat's dreadful tapes - fellow Malibu resident Nick Nolte. Who knows maybe Nolte has shares in Dunrite.

You have to approach it just like the way it would be in real life, like a revelation. It has to be like something revealed to take the platitudinous-ness out of it. If you recite it as if it comes from a book or something like that, then it doesn't resonate. But if it comes from experience, a knowledge of feeling, then you can talk about it being from the heart and you can talk about the now and the importance of each breath. So my days were spent listening to tapes of Maharaji in the morning, then looking at the script and getting into that space of where Soc would be.

There really is nothing like the insight of a reformed drinker !

I don't know, but it sounds more to me like he was listening to M to get the lingo down for his role, not because he was actually taking what he said seriously. Like taking how to talk like a believable con artist lessons...

More like the dirt than the pay part.?

Not that Nolte is the poster boy for having one's life together anyway. Though I think he is a decent actor.

Hillarious: Maharaji is similar to a deluded gas statation attendant

Who thinks he's Socrates and actually conned some people.  I think for that part, listening to Maharaji tapes couldn't be more appropriate.

Nik, thanks for putting that up.  Very funny.

I dont quite get this.

Is this Nolte the man saying he used the recorded instruction of his revered teacher to enable him to speak spiritual truths on screen with appropriate sincerity?

Or

Is this Nolte the actor saying he copied the style of a recognised master in the packaging of spiritual shite, in order to give his screen character a credibly dodgy ring?

Have I missed summat here?

Perhaps the two positions are not as irreconcilable in Nolte Land as they appear to me.

Nick Nolte said he listened to tapes of Maharaji, to study for playing a crazy gas station attendant who became a kind of religious cult leader for this athlete.

Hard to say if he meant it literally that he listened to "Maharaji" tapes.  Any cult leader who acts completely sure of himself would probably do.

It's the real life story of a Dan Millman, college gymnast with Olympic dreams and nightmares and the feeling that he's missing something in his life, whose thinking is changed upon his meeting up with Nolte/Socrates character (real?) who recommends being in the present and not the future or past. Wow why didn't I think of that.  Millman also shatters his leg permanently in a motorcycle accident, and his difficult (aren't they all) recovery is part of the movie
