How people join a cult

No-one joins a cult, people join a group which presents itself as a spiritual or political or social group, but if the group follows certain principals it eventually becomes a cult.


Take this picture as first example :-



Some see a young girl, some can see an old women.

And this is the problem with cultic thinking, people accept one fallacy and since they have became believers they accept any absurdity afterwards, and eventually become a zombie.

Everyone knows that Chari is a fraud, otherwise he would not have been fighting any case in court for ownership, everyone knows that chari is a convicted criminal, everyone knows that chari has restored to violence and other corrupt means to maintain his control over Shree Ram Chandra Mission, but still people taken him as spiritual person because they have been fooled ONCE, If the zombies of sahaj marg put themselves in shoe of those who have suffered unspeakable pain and sufferings beyond explanation, and change their paradigm and evaluate Chari and his acts under the light of logic and fairness, they will be able to see the old women and not only the young girl. All it needs is to step out once and see the larger picture, but this is not happening!!

Hence basically what it means is that once you give up your rational faculty and believe in an absurdity, you might as well believe in anything. Once you let yourself to be fooled, then you should be prepared to be fooled again and again because there is no end to foolishness.

Sahaj Marg can't be reformed, but it can be eradicated. It can't be molded, but it can be smashed. It is rigid, but brittle. That is why abhyasis can't tolerate criticism of it. To eradicate Sahaj Marg, all we have to do is tell the truth. It's that simple. This was not possible before, but with the help of the Internet, it is now. The insanity of this creed is so glaringly obvious, it boggles the mind. All it takes is to see the state of an abhyasi, his/her personal life, social life and professional life, all disturbed.

The truth about sahaj marg is out. It's here on this site. With truth and reason alone we can demolish this tall tower of lies. If you help spread the truth we can bring this house of cards down sooner than anyone can imagine. With truth, the decent abhyasis will leave Sahaj Marg and with each abhyasi who leaves, we gain a new soldier in our fight against psychological terrorism.

We must keep in mind, that if a message is from God, (Brighter World, God's will, path to God, representative of God etc etc etc..) it should not have any faults. If it has a single fault, then it is not from God. This cult suggests that one must view sahaj marg with "open mind", that is, view it un-critically, and this is the recipe for disaster.

What if a charlatan claims to be a prophet of God? How do we know this person is not lying if we don't try to see his faults? There have been many cults that have seduced many people, leading them to perdition. Just think of cults such and Aum Shinrikyo, whose followers, mindlessly believed in what their guru told them and released sarin gas in the subways of Tokyo, killing a dozen of innocent commuters and injuring hundreds of them for life. What about the cult of People's Temple whose members committed mass suicide in the jungles of Guyana after happily poisoning their own children? What about the cult of Heaven's Gate, Branch Davidian or hundreds of other cults whose followers believed and did not ask some basic questions? They did exactly what this cult suggests. They tried to be sincere and did not try to find faults in these cults. Can anyone question their sincerity? They proved their sincerity by sacrificing their lives. Can we question the sincerity of the suicide bombers? Sincerity alone, if not guided by reason and critical thinking can be deadly.

There is a wonderful expression, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"
If someone claims to be a representative of God, we must not accept his claim unless all our questions are answered and we are satisfied that there are no holes in his claim. If there is one, he is not a messenger of God but a shameless liar, an impostor or a madman. God does not err and his religion must be logical.

So don't be shy. Try hard to find faults in the claims of prophet pretenders and believe only if you find none. Do not let them intimidate you by saying it is not up to you to test God. You are not testing God. You are testing their claims. If they are indeed messengers of God, they should be able to answer all your questions. If they threaten you with hell, leave them because they are charlatans and liars. This is the only way to find the truth, not by uncritically accepting any nonsense. Do not let anyone fool you with empty promises and bogus claims.

The message from God should come with the proof from God and that proof should satisfy our intellect and not insult it.

The reason we have so many faiths, religions, and sects, despite the fact that at most only one of them can be true, is that the followers don't question. They are eager to prove their sincerity and believe blindly without asking some important questions such as "what is the proof?" A simple and yet essential question! They believe, mislead by the feel-good factor and after being swayed by some logical fallacies.

Result of mindless obedience, unquestionable devotion to the cult leader:-
