That's the crux of it. It is just a symbiotic relation between BK God spirit and Dada Lekhraj and his closest aides. The former providing the latter with temporary gratification at psychic, emotional and to some extent physical levels, while the latter becomes a slave of it the more intensely one is connected to it. There is no meditation here. None whatsoever.
All that is taught here is to kill your inner voice and become more and more submissive to that spirit. It is the exact opposite of liberation.
The Intellect can be a powerful tool but it will be a tool always. If used with honesty it can help one to dissect one's true motives and go even deeper towards self absorption. However, what happens with most people is that we seldom use it for this purpose and use it instead to hide our true feelings and motivations. It is this dishonesty which takes us further away from truth. That why most intellectuals you will meet will turn out to be pretentious phonies who seldom practice what they preach. The more powerful the intellect is the greater will be the chances that the person will be fraud especially in spiritual field.
That's why I loathe people like that Rajneesh guy who just became a big slave of his own ego. He could have used his abilities to work upon himself and become a sincere sadhak. Instead he used them to gain cheap fame, wealth and fool innocent, gullible people of lesser abilities like a predator. Unlike the BKs, he was not using this ghost/spirit medium (or was being used by it, not as far as I can see at least). He should have known better ... but, again, it's not my place to judge others. They will get what they deserve in the due course of time ...
I've often ask them to explain the mechanics of how karma works, or through what medium karma works, but they have no clue. It's just about conforming to what the Seniors say.
They won't because they cannot. The basis of BKs is not wisdom or knowledge. These things come with our own experiences not when someone superimposes their own belief systems on us using psychic charlatanry.
Dadi Janki often used to say it blunting, i.e. to stop thinking too much, stop asking question
In a twisted way she is right. There is a level where we go beyond our rational mind which is nothing but a big noise of thought currents, and access the super consciousness. Only then we get answers to all questions which trouble us. However, what happens with the BKs is that that spirit simply makes your thinking mind numb and provides a soothing effect which gives this false sense of enlightment to these BK 'yogis'. Instead of liberation they have moved towards enslavement. I pity simple men, women like these Dadis who could have led a normal, ordinary life had they not fall victim to that spirit.
