When the sun sets it turns darker and darker red, it disappears and is dark for twelve hours. Then it rises again. First a tiny dot appears, then suddenly the whole red disk of the risen sun comes, and from there it takes only four or five hours for it to shine in full strength.
In the same way, in ancient times, the truth gradually sinks and disappears for some time, only to reapper again. Now the sun has dawned and it is only a matter of a few hours before it shines in full.
There are three things: delusion, pollution, and illusion. Delusion is gone, well, almost; and pollution will go; then illusion, and then everything will be crystal clear. Then we will understand how perfectly God has created everything.
Anyone can be spiritual, but being realized is completely different.

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.
