Namaskar,
In a few discourses, Baba reveals how one hunter dipped his arrow in poison and took aim to shoot a deer, only to realise that he actually shot Lord Krsna. Baba tells about this incident in detail yet even then He gives no mention of the day, date, time and place. That shows us that He does not wish to highlight those aspects. This must not be done with Taraka Brahma. We must be very strict and never pay heed to the day, date, time and place of leaving the physical body. Because Taraka Brahma is ever-present.
Some group leaders have worked hard to drag their chosen dogma in through the front door of our Marga. This has been their life's endeavour since 1990.
In turn, we should be extremely careful because once a dogma arrives, it is not easy to kick out. Some key examples of this are the Shivaliunga or phallic worship, circumcision, yajina etc. People know these things are bad, but even then they do not give them up.
In those prehistoric times, when people were less developed, they brought much attention on phallic worship as they followed the principle: Strength in numbers. They thought therein lied their welfare and victory.
As people progressed, they realised that they should meditate on God and not indulge in any type of ritualistic phallic worship.
But by that point it as too late. Already the temples had been completely overrun with Shivaliunga and phallic worship. And still today this type of worship and presentation is prevalent.
Here the point is that once a dogma enters the house it is not easy to get rid of it. So the MPD dogma must be removed.
Indeed, in view of the pilgrimages of Haj and Mecca etc, such geo-oriented group leaders wanted some ritualistic event wherein they could dance and brag about their place. Hence they continue to host their annual dogmatic program at their HQ. In this way they derive selfish pleasure.
It is a dogma, but this is what makes them happy in life.
Baba says, "This dogma in its turn is entirely based on a'tma-sukha tattva. Human beings yield to this dogma with the sole intention of attaining selfish pleasures; even educated people knowingly submit to dogma. They know that they are surrendering their intellect to dogma, and that the outcome will be undesirable; they know and understand everything – why, even then, do they knowingly submit to it? They are all deliberate sinners and intentionally accept dogmas as truth. They observe that these dogmas are based on a'tma-sukha tattva; but they think, “I don’t care whether it does good or harm to others, because at least I have got some pleasure out of it!” Being motivated by this idea, they enslave themselves to dogmas." (NH-LOI, Disc: 6)
Indeed all those margiis and wts not attached to any form of geo-sentiment will realise the completeness of Baba's teachings and that only a few who wish to dogmatically highlight their own land as a pilgrimage etc. For them it is also a money-making venture.
Their dogma is just based on selfish gratification or a'tma sukha tattva, and not anything dharmic. All rational margiis can easily understand the point.
As His disciples, we should pay heed to Baba's example and represent His ideals by our own conduct.
Namaskar,

Baba says, "You will cultivate the practice of maonbrat (vow of silence) at least half an hour every day during working hours." (Fourteen Points: Point #9)
Note: In the above conduct rule Baba is giving the solution of one common problem. Because many suffer from the mental disease of gossiping needlessly. It can happen to anyone but certain Wts are more indulged because they talk all day long. Even if a kiirtan program is going on then still they are sitting and talking non-stop. So this is the bad habit of some Wts.
To stop this Baba has given the aforementioned conduct rule. So if anyone is not following Baba's above guideline then they should be encouraged (or pressurized) to practice it. And by that way they will gain control over their negative habit of talking uselessly. Indeed by that way one can make the extroverted mind introverted.

HOW PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE TO LEAVE THEIR DOGMA
Some group leaders have worked hard to drag their chosen dogma in through the front door of our Marga. This has been their life's endeavour since 1990.

DELIBERATE SINNERS AND INTENTIONALLY ACCEPT DOGMAS AS TRUTH

THOSE NOT SUFFERING FROM GEO-SENTIMENT CAN UNDERSTAND
Indeed all those margiis and wts not attached to any form of geo-sentiment will realise the completeness of Baba's teachings and that only a few who wish to dogmatically highlight their own land as a pilgrimage etc. For them it is also a money-making venture.
