Many years ago when I was looking for a meditation class and enlightnment, I came across an attractive brochure.
It was about meditation, Karma, reincarnation…
The most attractive part of it was that was free.
I could certainly afford to pay for a class, but it showed me they were sincerely wanting to help others.
All the classes and gatherings (with food) are free or donation based.
They say that they cannot charge for something that has been passed down for free.
Our guru would joke and say:
“When people first come, they think that it is all free. What they do not know is that it will cost them everything”.
So a free meditation and Yoga class will transform into decades of free labor to the guru and the cause. Loss of freedom, loss of critical thinking, loss of self respect…
They make you believe that you are giving it all up for god. But in reality all these covert cults are like russian roulette.
Some will do very well. Some will persih.
Spiritual Abuse is almost a guarantee.
To some extent, it is true when they say nothing in life is free.
The free meditation, reincarnation and karma, yoga classes are like fishing dor potential souls.
Even if their intentions are good, the classes (outreach) are like a fishing net for souls.
Make sure you just take advantage of the free classes and not let them take advantage of you.
