Arne J. - Norway

I have been shown a secret—a secret that is so close to me that I would never have found it on my own. Even less would I have been able to explore and enjoy the feeling of happiness and gratitude that has always been within me.

I was a young man when I had the incredible pleasure of being introduced to Prem Rawat (affectionately called Maharaji) and his Knowledge. Today I am not that young—I have for some years now been a grandfather—and still this is the most pleasant, profound, and refreshing feeling I've ever experienced. And I feel it every day.

It has also been a pleasure for me to introduce this possibility of enjoyment to my family, friends, and people that I meet. My mother, wife, daughter, sister, her daughter, her husband, and their daughter have all been introduced to Knowledge. The list of happy people is long, and I hope it will continue to grow.

As long as this breath flows in and out of my body, I have the opportunity of enjoying this gift given to me by my dear friend of many years—Maharaji. Even though he is younger than I am, he is my teacher and guide on this journey of life. He has taught me that even if I am alone, I don't have to be lonely. I am often alone, but never lonely.
