Lottie D.Lethbridge - Alberta, Canada

As a child, I knew a feeling of joy and contentment deep within me, but this feeling did not match the words I was hearing around me. As an adult, I tried to live by what others expected of me and grew distant from the love I had known as a child. Everything I pursued left an ache inside.

Two years ago, I expressed that longing to a friend. She told me about someone who had shown her a way to quench her thirst over and over again. My heart recognized her story, but I felt fearful that this might be a religion or that I'd have to follow someone who would watch my every move and judge me.

In time, I was shown the techniques of Knowledge. So how is it today with the fears I felt when I first heard about Maharaji? Am I being judged? Absolutely not! Have I found it to be a religion with rules? Absolutely not! Is the feeling the most natural thing that I remember as a child? Absolutely!
