About conning:
Over the years, I felt less and less comfortable at introducing BK's Raja Yoga to other people because of the intellectual honesty I want to maintain regarding all the incongruities we are taught and which I don't want to pass on to new students. Whenever something did not make sense to our analytical mind, we were suggested to have more meditation to open the Third Eye more, so we could grasp metaphysical concepts. Or that Baba hasn't revealed everything yet, so, wait and see. I could probably carry with me for some more time a bunch of unanswered questions and preserve faith in God at the core of my heart, but pulling other people into an organization that has many "mysteries", to use a kind euphemism; no, I feel uneasy with that.
All the digging and exposing going on in the Forum, I think is done in accordance with Baba's instructions not to perpetuate the Bhakti "blind faith system".
In the latest Avyakt Murli of March 17th, Baba says that he's aware of what's going on, and also repeatedly says that we should be able to discriminate right from wrong but not become distressed or distracted by it. Likewise, in Sakar Murli, Baba advises us never to sulk with him, nor leave him, even if there are problems with BK teachers.
So, in order to protect our faith, our fortune and our role of World Benefactors, I think that the maintenance and plumbing job must go on. If the TRUE Satguru is behind it all and we are, along with him, aiming to establish Satyug, the land of TRUTH. Otherwise, we are just kidding ourselves and others. Whatever personality - Brahmins feel and do, whatever their degree of faith and honesty, at least they make money by selling their man-made courses. But for anyone else who just hangs in the BK organization, dragging along, investing time and energy unpaid, it would make probably more sense to find some other occupation in the Kaliyugi world of falsehood.
