Perhaps that's why Destruction is not happening ... because they are too comfortable and attached to their nice properties and serving their interesting VIPS so that, consequently, they are not making sufficient efforts? Or "enjoying the Confluence Age with Baba" too much?
Refugees? ... "Obviously filthy, impure Shudras and Muslims to boot. According to BKism, their bad luck is their own fault. They must be very impure to deserve such bad karma. The BKWSU does not provide charitable services".
It's a bad deal for donors. I have read of one couple in Germany who gave their lives and a lot of money to the BKs on the basis of Destruction happening and now they are old and having a hard time financially. Of course, they have no rights nor a share in the business they funded. They get no return on their investment. No welfare, pension nor retirement.
And if you have ideological differences with the BK rulers, then you are just chucked out of the centre. There was a big stink in BK Germany because some individuals disagreed with the Kirpalani Klan which led to people leaving and centres being closed down. Cross the line and you are reminded who is boss and owns all the assets.
Funnily enough, I was just looking at marketing for a BK retreat in Germany. I'd say it was "upmarket". Very cool and minimalist. The "contribution" for accommodation was 260 € for a single room and 230 € each for a double room, per person for the weekend.
Not many refugees would be able to afford that. I doubt many ordinary workers would be able to either.
I think the advertising in a bit misleading. They are really not offering "silence", they are offering an initiation into a relationship with their god spirit. They use "Silence" as a kind of marketing codeword for just that. Nor do I see any evidence the BKs have become "infinitely wise".
Please excuse the Google translation, it was originally it in German. The image below is from a BK video. It's another example of how the BKs portray themselves, like some kind of Greek gods surrounded by space and luxury.
INVITATION TO RETREAT
Silence is the prerequisite for becoming, to go into it. It is the most intense and most direct form of self-discovery. It opens doors to the true nature: the essence of being, the source. Roles dissolve and the freedom to be infinitely wise and timeless essence is felt. Through this living silence, the deep spiritual dimension may unfold. Joy to dive.
In addition to sitting and meditating there are ways simply to breathe consciously with oneself and others to "be", to move, to experience nature as a mirror and to bring dancing and painting something expressed.
