Baba
Namaskar,
Suppose someone is out with their young child and a swarm of mosquitoes comes and starts biting the child, and the child starts crying and yelling. Then as a concerned parent they will immediately take measures to resolve the situation and safeguard their child. They will be extremely proactive to remedy the problem. That is how any normal parent would respond. If someone just told their child to hush-hush and stop crying and not worry about the swarm of mosquitoes, then that would be highly abnormal. Bystanders would think that that person was not being a good parent, rather they were being irresponsible and neglecting their child’s welfare. So again, in this situation, the standard, normal response would be to take direct steps of intervention to ensure the mosquitoes don't bite the child.
Situation in AMPS
Unfortunately, nowadays our AMPS is under threat and suffering from all sorts of problems and exploitation, yet concerned parties are not taking proactive steps to resolve the issues. Rather, if anyone is suffering and crying loudly after being unjustly expelled from their BP post etc, they are told to keep quiet and not say anything. It is akin to allowing one’s child to be repeatedly bitten by swarms of mosquitoes. This is highly abnormal and contrary to a standard code of conduct that would be expected of any responsible person. But sadly, that is the state of affairs in the organisation nowadays.
Remember:
(a) When any fight occurs it means there is an exploiter and an exploited party.
(b) If any onlooker cries out loudly and just preaches the sermon: “Don’t quarrel, stop fighting and be peaceful”, they are going against the fundamentals of Ananda Marga philosophy.

Gist of Baba’s teaching: what to do when fight breaks out
When any fight erupts, those onlookers have a specific duty according to the teachings of Ananda Marga tantra. In this case, every Ananda Margii should know what should be done.
This following is the English summary of the below Bangla quote:
উচিত হচ্ছে খোঁজা, যে কে অপরাধী: অপরাধীকে শায়েস্তা করে দেওয়া
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “যদু মধুকে ধরে, মারছে | এমন শুনে, মোহন এসে ৰলল, "আহা ! কেন মারামারি করছ ? কেন মারামারি করছ ? মিলেমিশে থাকৰে | মোহনের কথাটা ভারী মিষ্টি-মিষ্টি | কিন্তু এই মিষ্টি কথাতে কাজ চলৰে না | মোহনের উচিত হচ্ছে খোঁজা, যে যদুতে, মধুতে যে সংগ্রাম হচ্ছে, কে অপরাধী ? যদি দেখে, যদু অপরাধী, তাহলে তার সঙ্গে-সঙ্গে উচিত, মধুকে সমর্থন করে, যদুকে শায়েস্তা করে দেওয়া | এইটাই হ'ল তন্ত্রের পথ | তা নইলে, শুধু যে ৰলে "কেন মারামারি করছ” ৰলে, থামিয়ে দিলে, তার আগের দিন তো, ready হয়ে মধুকে যদু অনেক মেরে দিয়েছে | অনেক ঘুসি মেরেছে | আর মাঝখানে থেকে পড়ে---যদিও মধু মার খেল---আর মোহন এসে কেবল শান্তি বারি সিঞ্চন করে দিয়ে গেল | তাতে কোনও লাভ হয় না | আর যদুরে তাতে স্পর্ধা ৰেড়ে যাৰে |” [1, Bha’rata, Tantra A’r Ta’ntrika, GD 1966, Calcutta]
Those with moral courage fight evil forces & give a soothing touch
Ananda Vanii states, “Peace is the result of fight. Peace-lovers of the universe must not keep themselves away from fight.” (2)
Ananda Vanii states, “Today all over the world, a grim fight has started between the evil forces and the benevolent forces. Only those who possess the moral courage to fight against the evil forces, can give a soothing touch to the struggle-torn earth with the balm of peace. Remember you are spiritual aspirants. Hence you alone shall have to undertake the mighty task of saving the earth.” (3)
Ananda Vanii states, “The very import of the history of human welfare is the history of struggle and strife. Even the sweet gospels of peace could not be preached in an environment of peace and composure. Devils did not allow the apostle of peace to work peacefully – that is why I say that peace is the outcome of fight.” (4)
Conclusion
Here is a summary of the step-wise approach of Sadguru Baba’s above teaching:
in Him,
Pranatosh Roy
Note: This theory applies to both individual and collective life.
Leech example
Suppose a leech attaches itself to a person’s leg and starts sucking their blood. If that person is a coward they will say, “That is not a big deal; let the leech suck a little blood and then it will go away on its own.” So the cowardly person will not do anything at all in this early stage out of fear of retribution. Whereas, a brave person will fight back at the very outset and take firm steps to resolve the issue, ripping the leech away.
But the situations worses for the cowardly person who refrains from taking the requisite steps. That cowardly person will soon notice that the leech has (a) dug itself in a little deeper, (b) begun sucking more blood, and (c) created a huge welt on the his leg. And if that person is very cowardly, he will say, “Why should I quarrel with this leech - after some time the leech will be done sucking my blood and it will go away peacefully.”
And finally, if the leech has dug himself still deeper into the leg and released poison, whereby the person’s life is at stake, then even the most cowardly person will fight back like a lion.

You have removed the agonies collected from ages
Note: Only those who sincerely practice the higher lessons of sahaja yoga meditation can understand this song in the depths of their heart.
"Esecho tumi esecho, bhuvan bhariyá esecho, yugántarer gláni sariye diye,
áloker dhárá enecho..." (Prabhat Samgiita #3289)
Purport:
My Parama Purusa, You have come and have filled the entire world with bhakti. After removing ages and ages worth of agonies, You brought the flow of divine refulgence.
Baba, no one will remain in the dark any longer. You are the embodiment of these avenues: karma, knowledge, dhyana, and bhakti. You are the ocean of love, immeasurable, and infinite - ever ensconced in the fountain of love and affection.
Parama Purusa, the creation, preservation, and withdrawal is held within You. Guńátiita, the three gunas - sattva, rajah, tamah - are within You; Kálátiita, You go on performing Your cosmic liila with the time-factor. You dance according to the rhythm of Your divine liila’...
Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #3289:
[#1] Gun'a'tiita: One of the infinite characteristics of Parama Purusa is that He is beyond the gun'as, beyond all the binding principles like sa'ttvagun'a, rajogun'a, and tamogun'a.
Ananda Marga ideology says, "Why is He beyond the scope of all attributions [binding principles]? There are two reasons. One is that He is the creator of everything, so He is the creator of qualifications also, attributions also. So how can He be within the binding scope of those principles, of those qualifications? And certainly He is beyond the reach of these qualifications. In Sam'skrta, qualification or attribution is called “gun'a”, and He is called “Gun'a'tiita”, that is, beyond the bondage of any gun'a." (1)
[#2] Kalatiita: Time is the psychic measurement of motivity of action. The entity who is beyond time is Kalatiita; time is not eternal - time is limited. Only Parama Purusa is infinite. Parama Purusa precedes time factor - He was present before there was time. Or we can say that before creation there was no time but there was Parama Purusa. That is why He is beyond time, i.e. Kalatiita
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Time is the mental measurement of the motivity of action. Where there is no action or where there is no mind to measure, there cannot be any time either. If there were no earth, or if the earth had not revolved around the sun, or if there were no developed living beings to measure the movement of the earth around the sun, then there would have been no days, months or years. We could not have measured them, and thus there would have been no time either. Hence the existence of time depends on two factors: the motivity of action and the instrument to measure this motivity of action...what we call Eternity is a collection of numerous fragments of time." (2)
[#3] What is time
Ananda Marga ideology states, "Time is not an eternal factor. Because what is time? It is mental reckoning of the motivity of action. This mental reckoning of the motivity of action [means that] where there is no action, there cannot be any time. The earth moves around the sun; that is how we get the solar year, the solar month, the solar day. The moon moves round the earth; that is how we get the lunar month, the lunar year, the lunar [day]. And the solar year or lunar year, the solar day or lunar da2y, are mental reckonings of their movements. Wherever there is no action, the possibility of measurement does not arise. And where there is action but no personal entity, no personal factor to measure the motivity, there cannot be any time. So the time factor is a relative factor; there cannot be eternal time. Time cannot be the absolute factor." (3)

About dogs, jackals, and wolves
Ananda Marga Shabda Cayanika says, “A dog is a hybrid of the wolf and the vixen. In ancient times wild dogs were rather scarce, precisely for the same reason. There is hardly any dog fossil amongst the available fossils of ancient animals. Nowadays, however, wild dogs are also prevalent. These wild dogs live gregariously in jungles, and even a gigantic tiger has been seen to be flabbergasted and killed by a concerted attack of these dogs.”
“Although a dog is a hybrid of the wolf and the vixen, it must be said that there are many radical, extreme differences between a wolf and a dog. A wolf is voracious, but a dog feels satisfied with a small meal. It is difficult to tame a wolf, but a dog loves to be domesticated. A dog is extremely faithful and loyal to its master. A wolf is neither faithful nor loyal to its master. A dog is not ferocious by nature. It attacks or frightens someone as part of its duty. A wolf is ferocious by nature. It has no sense of duty. A dog would not normally kill a creature if its stomach were full. But a wolf, even when its belly is full, kills a creature. If it has no capacity to eat it, it carries the carcass to its den and eats it according to its convenience. Dogs do not generally fight with other members of the dog family. They fight with members of the feline family. But a wolf does not observe any such principle. A wolf avoids the strong and unnecessarily attacks the weak. Although there is a family resemblance between the wolf and the dog, whenever a dog is sighted the wolf attacks and kills it.”
“There are many differences between a jackal and a dog. A dog generally moves about during the daytime. But jackals are night prowlers by nature. A jackal moves in the daytime only when it is in danger, it has to change locations or is excessively hungry. A jackal lives in a hole, but a dog never likes to live in a hole. It prefers to live in the open. A jackal cannot be tamed; but a dog can. By virtue of being night prowlers, the jackals periodically howl in chorus to preserve their solidarity and register their presence. However, dogs do not have this habit. They bark collectively only when they have to fight an enemy as a body. Although both jackals and dogs belong to the canine family, a dog chases a jackal whenever it sees one. A jackal runs away at the sight of a dog. By nature a dog is brave and a jackal is cowardly.” (1)

Religions are grounded in dogma - not logic and rationality
Ananda Marga philosophy states,"Religions sometimes survive for a long time, even though they are full of dogma. This is because they know how to twist their teachings to deny the truth and adapt to different circumstances. Their purpose is to secure the interests of a special, privileged class. Some religions have also survived because they have associated themselves with God-centred ideas, although they are not God-centred. They make some dogmatic propositions about God an important part of their teaching, and on this basis they sentimentalize the minds of the people. These sentiments penetrate deeply into the human psyche."
"The main weapons of dogma-centred philosophies are:
1) The propagation of stories, myths and parables to create superiority complexes;
2) The propagation of stories, myths and parables to create inferiority complexes;
3) The propagation of fear complex and inferiority complex amongst the people, especially the Shúdras."
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "All religions use these three types of complexes to inject superiority complexes, inferiority complexes and fear complexes into the minds of the people. They propagates parables, myths and stories to inject complexes into people’s minds. Is it not a fact? All religions are based on dogma – they are not based on logic – and they propagate their dogma through stories, myths and parables. All religions propagate that “My God is the only true God. Other Gods are false gods.” When some religions claim that their god is the only true God, it is an example of a dogma-centred proposition. All world religions are based on such dogma-centred theories."
"Take the case of Hindu myths. The authors of Hindu mythologies say that the Brahmans are born from the mouth of Parama Puruśa, the Kśatriyas from the arms, the Vaeshyas from the trunk and the Shúdras from the feet." (1)

This following is the English summary of the below Bangla quote:
Here is a case example: Tom was beating Dick. Hearing this, Harry came and cried out, “Why are you two fighting and beating each other. Stop quarreling! Live together peacefully.” No doubt, Harry’s words are very sweet. But this type of sweet talk has no value. It is useless and worthless. The proper thing is for Harry to find out who the real culprit is: Dick or Tom. If it is found that Tom is the culprit then it is appropriate to immediately support Dick and arrange proper punishment for Tom. This is the only path in Tantra.
If this is not done, and you only say, “Do not quarrel - do not quarrel, live together peacefully, and stop fighting”, then the next day you will find that Tom beat Dick even more severely. This demonstrates that Harry’s attempt at an intervention - i.e. spread the holy water of peace, peace, peace - was completely fruitless. And this will only further convince Tom that he can have his way with Dick without any retribution. So Tom’s audacity will grow exponentially and he will again beat Dick mercilessly.”

উচিত হচ্ছে খোঁজা, যে কে অপরাধী: অপরাধীকে শায়েস্তা করে দেওয়া
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “যদু মধুকে ধরে, মারছে | এমন শুনে, মোহন এসে ৰলল, "আহা ! কেন মারামারি করছ ? কেন মারামারি করছ ? মিলেমিশে থাকৰে | মোহনের কথাটা ভারী মিষ্টি-মিষ্টি | কিন্তু এই মিষ্টি কথাতে কাজ চলৰে না | মোহনের উচিত হচ্ছে খোঁজা, যে যদুতে, মধুতে যে সংগ্রাম হচ্ছে, কে অপরাধী ? যদি দেখে, যদু অপরাধী, তাহলে তার সঙ্গে-সঙ্গে উচিত, মধুকে সমর্থন করে, যদুকে শায়েস্তা করে দেওয়া | এইটাই হ'ল তন্ত্রের পথ | তা নইলে, শুধু যে ৰলে "কেন মারামারি করছ” ৰলে, থামিয়ে দিলে, তার আগের দিন তো, ready হয়ে মধুকে যদু অনেক মেরে দিয়েছে | অনেক ঘুসি মেরেছে | আর মাঝখানে থেকে পড়ে---যদিও মধু মার খেল---আর মোহন এসে কেবল শান্তি বারি সিঞ্চন করে দিয়ে গেল | তাতে কোনও লাভ হয় না | আর যদুরে তাতে স্পর্ধা ৰেড়ে যাৰে |” [1, Bha’rata, Tantra A’r Ta’ntrika, GD 1966, Calcutta]

Conclusion
Here is a summary of the step-wise approach of Sadguru Baba’s above teaching:
(a) The moment a person / or body realizes that they are getting exploited then a quarrel ensues.Namaskar,
(a) When this fight occurs it means there is an exploiter and the exploited.
(c) If any onlooker cries out loudly and just preaches the sermon: “Don’t quarrel, stop fighting and be peaceful”, they are going against the fundamentals of Ananda Marga.
(d) The only way is to find out who the real culprit is and punish them. That is the only way to establish sentient peace and true tranquility.
(e) Due to a lack of proper knowledge people often follow a cowardly philosophy and try to keep the status quo. But in that case, the exploiters will continue their ruthless attack and the exploited people will continue to face injustice and misery. So if anyone takes such an approach they are supporting sin.
