My parents. They go and hear this man (Maharaji) speak. I mean, like, all the time. Was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. I've talked to my parents about it, and it seems... well. It's hard to explain, but, my mum said something about "finding something inside herself" and perhaps something about inner happiness or something. She said that's what she got from hearing him speak. They travel all around to see him, and we have a satellite dish so they can receive broadcasts from him in our home.
Anyway, I've read a few of the things the man says, and they seem.. well... like common sense really. It doesn't seem anything... more. And yet I say this to my parents, and they look at me - shaking their heads - and say things like "Ah, but you would think that." And look at each other with this "knowing" of... something. And yet... I swear it's just complete bollocks. I guess he has given them "knowledge" (no, not the.. oh fuck it.) and they believe that to be true.. but I can't help feeling that they're just ignorant, and they need this excuse to feel happy with their completely middle class existence.
Sorry if all this seems like complete twaddle to anyone reading... I was just hoping someone could shed some light on this really. I mean, it seems to make them happy, and that's fine. And it gets them out the house, but I can't help thinking they're somehow fooling themselves... but really - really- what gets to me is the looks of "but how could you possibly understand?"
Anyway... /rant off. |
