Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 http://www.davidgodman.org/interviews/nis1.shtml One morning Maharaj seemed to be more-than-usually frustrated about our collective inability to grasp what he was talking about. 'Why do I waste my time with you people?' he exclaimed. 'Why does no one ever understand what I am saying?' I took my chance: 'In all the years that you have been teaching how many people have truly understood and experienced your teachings?' He was quiet for a moment, and then he said, 'One. Maurice Frydman.' He didn't elaborate and I didn't follow it up. I mentioned earlier that at the conclusion of his morning puja he put kum kum on the forehead of all the pictures in his room of the people he knew were enlightened. There were two big pictures of Maurice there, and both of them were daily given the kum kum treatment. Maharaj clearly had a great respect for Maurice. I remember on one of my early visits querying Maharaj about some statement of his that had been recorded in I am That. I think it was about fulfilling desires. Maharaj initially didn't seem to agree with the remarks that had been attributed to him in the book, but then he added, 'The words must be true because Maurice wrote them. Maurice was a jnani, and the jnani's words are always the words of truth.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
