My Baba or Our Baba

Post25 Apr 2008

Can anyone reply why in BKdom we are taught to say "My Baba" instead of "Our Baba" ? Does the former create more conflict than the latter ?

Is the reply to God when he says "My Children", is to reply with "Our Baba" ? In the Murlis, shouldn't it be when He says "My Child" thus you can reply "My Baba", but many a times it is the Spiritual Father speaks to the Spiritual Children, which is a one to many relationship, and so the reply should be a many to one relationship.

I think unity exists when the children say "Our Baba" instead of "My Baba". The result of not having this is disunity within BKdom. Because there is disunity amongst the children.

Perhaps the entire world will say "my Baba", but would the entire world say "our Baba"? :)

Of course it is 'our Baba'. Do not forget that BK is a doomsday cult and do anything to make the followers feel special. So for them it is "my Baba"!

Omshanti. Actually BKs are taught to say 'my Baba' instead of 'our Baba' because it is believed that they have a direct connection with the Supreme Father and there are no mediators. They are taught to get inheritance (of peace, happiness, bliss, etc.) from the Supreme Soul directly. But when it comes to the outside world, they believe that everyone would say 'our Baba' in the end, but they would only get the inheritance of peace/liberation through BKs for 2500 years in the form of their stay in the Soul World.

In this connection an example of Shri Krishna dancing with Radha as well as other Gopis is given. Krishna is shown to be dancing in practical with each one of them simultaneously. If anyone can search pictures of Shri Krishna they can spot this picture easily. Here is one of the links (Krishna dancing with the milkmaids):

One can say Our Baba if he is a leader, or he has splitted personality. If one takes responsibility for more then himself he can say our Baba.
