Baba Faqir Chand is a recognized Spiritual Master and a practitioner
of Radhasoami
techniques. As such his statements qualify as expert testimony.
When ordinary people
give opinions on RS it is easy for followers to avoid listening to
them by saying, "Well,
they were not Masters - only Masters know the truth". Faqir Chand
IS a Master and
the bits of truth given below are well worth considering very carefully.

I recommend that one read ALL the available Chand material. David
Lane has done
a great service to truth by making it available.
I just want to quote a couple of brief passages here:
1. Concerning the criterion that one may use to INVALIDATE a master
as legitimate:
From "Truth Always Wins" Chapter 6:
"He is not a guru who is interested in the expansion of his center or increasing his following".
2. Concerning the RS-Beas belief that liberation can only be attained
through developing
of an intense attachment to the guru and to his inner form. From
"Truth Always Wins" Ch.6:
"If you remain attached to the body of your Guru or to his manifested
form, you cannot
free yourself from the cycle of transmigration. I have very solid
proofs in this regard".
