How can anyone who abuses his liver as Rawat does recommend that you should have 'a friendship with your heart.' ? What does he know??

Thanks Cynthia, sometimes you could almost imagine it was a dream. But here he is, 2006 and saying the exact same thing.
Who else but God can bless us with his grace in the form of breath itself.. This is .. LotU talk.
He was trying not to say it, but lines you have highlighted slipped out.
He is a man of some conviction.
He is convinced we need these techniques or that we can be persuaded to think we do.
He is convinced they won't work. (Unless we are persuaded that he has a special grace to make them work.)
He is convinced that once we are trained to think like a one way valve he will be able to see a cash return for his investment.
Meanwhile he has entirely forgotten about everybody and their broken relationship with personal life gifts from their own universe, nature, god, consciousness, all mind, higher self, spirit guide or whatever.
Sitting in darkness for light, entering captivity for freedom, stopping their ears to hear, and blinding their eyes to see.
Closing their hearts for love, and destroying their minds to know.
I thought.

The address is moronic and unburdened by insight, of course. That comes with the territory. But if Rawat is trying to smuggle in some latter day LOTU claims, he's doing it in a very subtle way - so subtle it was either scripted for him, or it's accidental. The 'innocent' interpretation of the following: The coming and going of this breath is my blessing. The coming and going of this breath is my grace. ...is: 'My life has been blessed and graced by this breath (and so has yours)'. And I suspect that was all he meant by it. Or have I offered a hostage to the Wiki eds, here? Oops!

Yeah, I saw it both ways too. Most likely accidental, not based on deep thinking or introspection, unless that's Rawat being deep. lol He really comes off as not only boring, but bored with the whole thing with nothing inspirational to talk about. Definitely not worth parting with $250.00 to hear. Ouch. Oh Wikipedia, schmickipedia...

I've had second thoughts, Cynth. Nobody on this planet talks about 'my Grace' as if he/she were the benfeficiary, rather than provider of said product. Rawat onstage, adored by a sizeable crowd, gets the itch, and much as his EV and Wiki spin doctors would prefer him not to, hook phrases trip off the tongue so easily, and make him feel nice. 'My Grace', 'My Blessing' and so on... His dilemma is trying to be less than God, but somehow significant. Not even for his obscene, unearned wealth do I envy him the dwindling opportunities before him...

Hi Nigel,
He's like an angler whose favorite hooks have been banned.
he could do his mind serious mischief trying not to say something he knows he needs to get across; somehow, in order to survive. No wonder doublespeak seems to describe his newly evolving language.
He's bound to let slip his real intentions and his own priorities, sooner or later. I don't envy him either.
"His dilemma is trying to be less than God, but somehow significant."
Makes a change from: greater than God and all important, but looks even more like a path that tapers, eventually to nothing.
