Learning to discern fact from fancy is key to spiritual maturity. In a
previous article, p.i.shankar@twi.tudelft.nl (Prewien Shankar) says:

Prawien is ever offering tidbits from this and that film, without
ever offereing specifics such as titles or producer. For example, he
claims to have seen two films about Sai, in one Sai says he is God, and
in the other, according to PI, Sai says he is not God. Now PI mentions
some Dutch telly show. But what was the name of that telly show? Did he see
it or did he only hear about it? Did he see Sai `getting the ash from one
hand to another' or did he see someone saying that is how Sai does it?
I ask in order to determine if PI is speaking from his own knowledge,
or from hearsay, to see if he is telling fact, or fiction.
