newly discovered documentary evidence that affects this article's accuracy i have recently found a booklet of questions and answers with rawat printed and distributed by divine light mission inc which bears heavily on some of the issues central to this article this document was published at least five years after the family split seven or eight years after rawat came to the west and when he was either or years old in other words at the time he uttered these statements he was an adult who was long familiar with western culture spoke good english and was very much his own man here are a few of the questions and answers some people say you are a divine incarnation and some people say other things about you what's the truth you yourself must realize what is the truth so god cannot teach anything except through a master what is god you don't know what god is god cannot be a human being god is light god is power god cannot talk electricity cannot give light only the bulb gives light but electricity has to be put through the wire for the bulb to give light it's power power cannto do anything it has to be put through a medium why does a perfect master have to have a living body to give knowledge why is he necesssary are you feeling thirsty can you see that photo of lord shiva you see the water coming out from the top of his head drink that water drink drink can you you can't drink that water it is a picture you need everything living if you have doubts you cannot ask lord krishna questions what's why you need a living master for the circumstances of this world today when jesus was here there were no nuclear bombs but now there are nuclear bombs and the perfect master the perfect savior sic has come to save you from nuclear bombs is the living master able to reveal knowledge yes that's why you call him a living master guru maharaj ji jesus christ performed many cures can you do the same at his time there were not so many doctors that's why he did that but i am curing mental sickness if you have got mental sickness come to me and when you do meditation you become so natural that any other diseases you have are automatically cured that's why i tell you this knowledge is very practical it makes people natural they stop being plastic they become natural and the best way of ending disease is by nature what happens to a person's karma when they receive knowledge it starts choking up it starts finishing up because when you realize knowledge you've got to go and be one with god will this knowledge save us from rebirth yes once we have this knowledge we reach the heaven from where we cannot return guru maharaj ji are you permanently in god consciousness torn page permanently in god consciousness the lower part of the last page in the book is intact and it's a quote that reads i have found that missing link as soon as i found that missing link i became one with everything and therefore i became everything not as an individual but by merging into that infinite thing which has no beginning which has no end which cannot be destroyed and i have that for you to experience he signs this last quote guru maharaj ji i maintain that there are several aspects of the article that need to be corrected or at minimum balanced by this evidence for instance it flies in the face of the quotation from rawat's then website wherein he said people through the years have tried to place me in a mold and from the very early years i have not been able to oblige them when i was very young people were looking for the old silver haired guru with flowing white robes i was only eight when people were flocking to india for their search i was in the west when people were looking for sophisticated discourses i spoke of simple things when people wanted nirvana i said you need peace when people said tell us of the scriptures i said look within you when people asked what is your qualification i said judge me by what i offer to this day some people see me the way they want to after all i guess it is rather inconvenient to see things as they really are i have evolved but my message stays the same externally i have changed but within me something stays the same long after rawat was only eight he was playing games about whether or not he was god he was saying that the reason he doesn't cure people like jesus did is because we have lots of doctor
