They have converted them into owls of darkness:
Inevitable outcome of those pseudo-philosophies
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "They have taught people to view each other with suspicion. By restricting social welfare activities to their community, they have kept the rest of the people in the dark about the true state of affairs. They have not let the people know whether they were actually the promoters or detractors of human welfare. By raising an iron curtain, a veil of dark ignorance, before them, they have taught people to chatter a few chosen, tutored sentences. They have confined them within a small dungeon, with its doors and windows locked – they have converted them into owls of darkness. This is the inevitable outcome of those pseudo-philosophies." (1)

Answer: About those pseudo-philosophies
Answer: In His above teaching, Baba is primarily referring to communists - they keep the common people in a dark state of repression and oppression. There is no scope to see things in the light of day - everything is hidden under cloak of darkness. The free and open exchange of ideas is not permitted. The media is wholly controlled by the state and the people have no idea what is happening in the world around them. Only they know the spoon-fed slogans given by those communist leaders.
Answer: In His above teaching, Baba is also referring to some dogmatic religions like Islam, Mormonism, the Amish, Christianity, Judaism and other religious bodies also adhere to this type of censorship where the people are forced to blindly follow their religious codes, without question or reason. Basically wherever the priest, or mullah etc is leveraging tremendous control over their community and not allowing open discussions, then that is also applicable here.
First and foremost however, this teaching is a reference to communism and an indirect reference to the organised religions like Islam, Mormonism, the Amish, Christianity, Judaism, or any organised religion, and those exploitative communist leaders.
