In 1990, I had the great privilege to hear for the first time about Knowledge and Maharaji. When I heard him speak for the first time, everything he said was all right with me. I didn’t know if I was interested in Knowledge or not. I just knew that I had a beautiful time there.

During my daily life, I thought about Maharaji’s words. By listening to more videos, many questions were answered. I went through stages of pleasure, but also of confrontation. Even though I hadn’t received Knowledge yet, a deep work was happening within me. I realized that the way I was appreciating life was very limited. My fears, ideas, and education, all were enslaving me as if I were a puppet of society. All of a sudden, I had the feeling that help was given to me. Hope was growing. I had the strength to give it a chance in my life.

In December 1990, I had the opportunity to go to Rome to see him in person for the first time. His words went straight in my heart. After that, the need for Knowledge was very real to me. The day I was shown the techniques of Knowledge, was a wonderful day of inspiration, simplicity, and care.

When I went back home, apparently I was the same, but deep inside me I was savouring life as never before. It took me time to really let go and appreciate the experience within me. But I gave it a fair chance, and I am very thankful that I did.
