Prem Rawat Zitate

Prem Rawat ist ein in den USA lebender spiritueller Lehrer, der seit seinem 14. Lebensjahr auf weltweiten Vortragsreisen die Verwirklichung persönlichen Friedens durch die Anwendung von seinem Vater erlernter Meditationstechniken propagiert. Weitere Schwerpunkte seiner Arbeit sind internationale Friedenskonferenzen und -initiativen, sowie humanitäre Projekte. Seit 1971, als er erstmals eingeladen wurde, vor einem Publikum außerhalb Indiens über seine Friedensbotschaft zu sprechen, wurde er international mehrfach ausgezeichnet und als Folge davon im 21. Jahrhundert in den Medien häufig als „Botschafter des Friedens“ bezeichnet.Er wurde am 10. Dezember 1957 im indischen Kankhal geboren, einer kleinen Ortschaft am Stadtrand von Haridwar am Ganges. Er wuchs in Dehradun im indischen Bundesstaat Uttar Pradesh auf, wo er zur Schule ging.

Nachdem er 1966 die Nachfolge seines Vaters angetreten hatte, wurde er gemäß einer in Indien traditionellen Anrede für einen geistigen Meister Guru Maharaj Ji genannt. Diesen Titel legte er in den 1980er Jahren ab. Heute wird er in der Öffentlichkeit Prem Rawat, von seinen Schülern auch Maharaji genannt. Wikipedia

Prem Rawat: Zitate auf Englisch

“Question: Guru Maharaji Ji, are you God? – Answer: No. My Knowledge is God”

Who is Guru Maharaj Ji?, (November 1973), Bantam Books, Inc.
1970s

“There is something so beautiful inside you that if you knew it, you would fall in love with it. It is irresistible. You can truly experience that.”

Brisbane, Australia (March 17, 1982) as reported in Maharaj, Visions International (1998)
1980s

“Ask yourself for a moment what is really important to you—not by anyone else's definition but your own.”

Seattle, Washington (1994) as reported in Maharaji, Visions International (1998)
1990s

“Listen to satsang. It is a very good thing. God created day and night. After that He created excellent things to eat, and then he landed us in this world. Isn't this human body beautiful? There is a nose to breathe with. Tell me, could we have survived without it? See what a good job of seeing these eyes do. Look how beautiful are the hands and the feet. If no seva is done, then these hands are of no use. These two ears have been given, if we don’t listen to satsang with them, aren’t they useless? If you do not go to satsang walking with these feet, they are also worthless. God has created all the parts of this body quite well, but if we don't use them properly, it is our fault, not the Creator's. The river flowing over there is the Ganga, but it is not flowing for its own use. It is we who drink its water, wash our clothes in it, and irrigate our fields with it. By bathing in it only the dirt of this body is washed, but by bathing in the Ganga of satsang, all the evils are removed. What I am telling you is also written in the Gita. But Gita cannot make you understand. Only the satguru can make you understand the satnam (true name), so do practice Knowledge. Look at Lord Shiva sitting with eyes closed [pointing towards a fountain with a statue of Shiva]. He always stays in the contemplation of Guru Maharaj. Whenever I see him he doesn’t do any other work. I don’t know whether he doesn’t like doing any other work or what. Therefore, you too should also practice Knowledge like this.”

Prem Nagar, Hardwar August 21,1962 (translated from Hindi). Birthday Celebrations, as published in "Hansadesh" magazine, Issue 1, Mahesh Kare, January 1963. (First published address.)
1960s

“Question: Guru Maharaji Ji, what do you mean about the mind being evil? Answer: This mind is jiggling around trying to find out that perfectness. It is inquiring, trying to investigate the perfectness, which is impossible. To the mind, God is a perfect criminal. He has done such a perfect crime by creating this world that mind cannot trace how He did it. That is why the mind always freaks out about God.”

September 1973, Los Angeles, USA, published in Light Reading Vol.1 No.1 Spring 1978 “Question on devotion and other answers”
Students of Prem Rawat clarify that at that time Rawat was making a distinction between the mind, which he described as including the dark or negative thoughts that a person may have; and heart, the place within each person where peace can be found.
1970s
