Yes, yes, yes, that is exactly right, well described. "Mental plugs" is a great image to use. And if we are emotionally or psychologically "compromised" by personal trauma, it goes without saying that we would be more than happy to "plug" whatever hurts us in exchange for this mind numbing hypnosis.
I think if people knew how much money they had, they might step back a little. There is NO awareness of how much money is going through the BKWSU, nor what it is being spent on.
Well, let's look at how many times the Seniors have travelled the world to do "service". They shamelessly brag about Dadi Janki having travelled the world several times at her ripe old age. It is commerce plain and simple, in the same way that you would purchase a pair of Armani jeans that are manufacured in China for pennies then sold for outrageous prices. Who is paying Armani's salary? The buyer. So who is paying the Seniors' jet set lifestyle? The BK followers.
The goal is to become perfect like Brahma Baba and powerful like Dadi Janki and the best way to do that is to believe them when they tell us (via the Murli) that we are imperfect sinners.
Here is the hierarchy as far as I know. Please correct it if there is anything missing.
Cult leaders
Charismatic VIPs
Pukka Seniors
Devoted followers
Virgin slaves
