Reply 		Millions Will Come - oh yeah?
Millions will come? This is deceptive and used to indicate that the SRF organization, despite all evidence, really is good and pure and doing the right things. God is on their side!

I would suggest that maya has used that statement, if it was ever actually said, to further suck people into the delusion of the bad ladies. Millions will come to what? To worship the bad ladies? To see Master through their eyes? I think not.

Millions will come to find comfort in Master's teachings? More likely. There are many ways to find comfort and make progress through Master's teachings. It does not imply that SRF is the only way but maya has implied that SRF devotees should come to that conclusion. Other paths are evil or at best misinformed. Very clever Ms. Maya, but I am thinking for myself now and the mother center way ain’t make’n sense.

Ignore what you see, ignore what you feel, ignore the obvious. “Millions will come” so things must be going in the right direction. You are just not wise enough to see it. (Sarcasm intended for those unable to sense it)

Since only about 5% or less of he people that come to SRF even take all the lessons, what does this mean in relation to the millions that will come. I suspect that millions have already come. Considering we may only have about 50,000 or less actual members, it follows that a million have already come to SRF. They have just been turned away by what they have found (or bored).

If the theory is that millions WILL STAY in the future then that is another interesting number. If millions is at least 2 million, then we will have to attract 80 million people to hold onto millions of members!

Let us assume that it is millions WILL STAY, but we attract (and discourage) people at the same rate as today which is about 50,000 in 50 years. The “millions” will come over about 2000 years. I hope they publish all Master’s words by then!

Let’s assume that they mean that millions will be in SRF at the same point in time. Since our growth rate is about 1% per year, this is going to take a long time! Considering people passing away, earthquakes, floods, etc… Anyone care to guess how long this might take?

Where does that millions will come line come from anyway? Is that just part of the SRF mythology? Is it part of some other quote taken out of context?

Reply 		Source of Million's quote
I heard it from the monks years ago that Master told it to Dr. Lewis back in the way-early days in Boston when he was having difficulties attracting students to his lectures and class series. I also seem to remember the quote published in Brenda Lewis' book of her father, mother and PY, Treasures Against Time

Oh, I love THIS thread. Even if millions do come, and (good point) even stay (and perhaps actually practice the teachings correctly--a much smaller percentage, assuming we could define "correctly"), in a world of SIX BILLION (and counting) people, that ain't very impressive. SRF has billed itself as the religion of the New Age. Not likely. There are nearly a billion Muslims, and as many Roman Catholics. It would take millennia for SRF to get that far, and if things keep going the way they are, I wouldn't give SRF another century of life. In the BG, Krishna says that "out of a thousand, one seeks me, and out of a thousand who seek me, only one knows me as I truly am." Okay, one in a million is realized. That means that, at present, there are 6,000 realized folks on the planet. Where are they? (Hint: They aren't living on Mt. Washington.)

While we're on the topic of SRF self-aggrandizement and propaganda, what about the old scare tactic that if you forsake Yogananda in this life, you'll have to wander for 31 incarnations before finding another guru. The way I feel these days, I hope it's more than 31 (I'm sure an exception can be made in my case).

Reply 		Why millions?
I have always wondered: why does it matter? Who cares how many people join SRF, or take the lessons, or go to church? I always liked it when it was small; then it was something I had found, for me personally, that WASN'T public or well-known. If one is seeking God, even if one is "serving" and trying to make the knowledge available to other seekers, why care?

But....if one is empty inside, if one has no center, if one is actually focused on outer consolations under guise of spirituality, if one is secretly trying to boost one's ego...why, then, external validation and adulation would be very important. Acceptance by authorities would matter very much. One would do many things (alter the Guru's signature?) for such approval.
