"How can I describe the Perfect Master? How can one as ignorant as I possibly understand Him who is beyond all illusion? How can my dull wits explain that which is beyond understanding? About which even the scriptures can only say 'It's not this, it's not that'. This is beyond my comprehension. Therefore I bow before it from afar."

-- Shri Hans Ji Maharaj Ji Hans Yog Prakesh

"To me the most ultimate experience in my life became Guru Maharaj Ji not even Knowledge and when it became Guru Maharaj Ji it was so beautiful because I could attach myself to that experience, because Guru Maharaj Ji was in this world, Guru Maharaj Ji was there, and I remember every experience of standing in front of Him and experiencing a stage of Mindlessness, where even you can call upon the mind as loud as you want but it is not there. A stage of where future does not matter, past does'nt matter and you're definitely not in the present. I think that stage is called ecstasy an incredible bliss

Above is spread the blue canopy, A lovely velvet is the earth, The sun holds court by day, The stars, an assembly by night. When the wild clouds appear They spread ecstasy around; The spring plays the drum; The wind chants the rain song. The birds sing in chorus, They deliver the message of Love; The flowers, fruits, leaves and grasses Manifest their incomeparable forms. Youth and wealth come and go; The world is a tale the of the Lord the Great; The pageant is passing; God, the Truth is eternal, Everlasting.

Prem Rawat's "Knowledge" has three parts: regularly listening to his speeches, doing voluntary work for organisations serving him or donating money and daily meditation correctly practicing the four techniques he recommends. The techniques are so simple it's hard to see how they could be practiced incorrectly. First technique ("Divine Light") involves sticking your thumb and middle finger on your eyeballs (NB: with eyes closed) and your index finger between your eyebrows. Second technique: ("Heavenly Music") poking your thumbs into your ears and listening. Third technique: ("Holy Name") thinking about your breathing (NB: continue to breathe). Fourth technique: ("Nectar") curling your tongue backwards and tasting. Rawat's father taught slightly different techniques but either way it's difficult to see how these could produce the benefits claimed for them especially as Rawat claims His Knowledge is the only method of attaining real happiness and love in this life.
