As much as Baba says to have love for no one else but the one Father, he also says to be loving to one another and live together like milk and honey.
It seems to me that one has to use a bit of common sense here. In my understanding, being loving to one another means giving and receiving love; whilst love no one but the one Father means not to be attached or emotionally dependent on any human being.
My experience has been that freeing myself from my attachments and emotional dependencies have helped me to become more loving towards all, even those who ruffle my feathers and push my buttons; and that the experience of God's love has greatly helped me to heal my attachments and emotional wounds, as well as taught me to love myself and others more wholly.
I agree that there are many dysfunctional personalities within the BK movement and that many seem to have lost their common sense.
I am happy to be an independent minded BK and not follow blindly. Doesn't Baba say that what he teaches needs to be understood and that it is not a question of blind faith? I want to respect everyone's understanding but I do claim the right to use my own discernment and do trust that my understanding suits me well and is not worth less than any one else's, whatever is their position in the hierarchy.
