These words are so true, especially for premies today who can't seem to let go...
" And that self-doubt is all you need, ... you need - all you do have to do, I mean ... ultimately it's such a double-bind, it's a paradigm, because anything that goes wrong - even any momentary lapse of confidence and faith in Maharaji - it's your own crazy mind. And anything that happens to go right in your life, well then that's just proof that it's the grace of Guru Maharaji - and should anything go wrong, well it's got to be because of you. I mean, if you stop and look at that, somewhat objectively, and I know it's hard to do, I mean, it's the ultimate rationalisation - you can find a reason to believe anything.
And some people believe even in spite of Maharaji, in the sense that they think, 'well, even 'though he's this way, I can't deny what it's done for me, so I still believe'. Well, see, to me, this is not Knowledge, this is some kind of faith. And that's the only thing that I feel that premies should question is their faith - in him. Because they really have no basis to put their faith in him. They may have faith because, ... a basis to put faith in their experiences of Knowledge, in the sense of what it can mean to them to know how to meditate and how to tune in to that life force and then ... and certainly have faith in their ability to share and experience love with others, and the tremendous importance of that in our lives. The good things that are there I certainly won't deny. But the necessity of believing that Maharaji is God in order to experience that is just ... that's an absurdity. And that's the unfortunate part because that's what allows the kind of exploitation of the individual, out of their trust and innocence. That goes on, and it's the kind of thing that has corrupted Maharaji to the point that he is today."
