It is as if all the pillars of your faith are knocked away except one - faith in Maharaji as the Lord - and this one pillar seems so strong that it alone is enough and will support and explain everything else.

But all it takes is to even admit the possibility that Maharaji is not the Lord, and then the absurdity of it all becomes obvious, you see that your remaining pillar of faith is not the tower of strength you thought, but an insubstantial mirage, and poof - it all comes tumbling down around you!

Note that you do not need to come to a definite conclusion whether Maharaji is the Lord or not; only to allow the possibility that he is not! Maharaji is right to criticize the 'doubtmaker' (as he calls it; in other words our thinking mind) so much, since once a premie allows even the smallest doubt to enter their mind that Maharaji is worthy to be on that pedestal we create for him up in the skies, then as surely as day follows night they will stop being a premie - the logical and emotional inconsistencies in being a premie will bring the whole edifice down if even the tiniest crack is allowed to appear!
