11/18/2023 0 Comments Truth is a pathless land![]() ![]() "How many members are there in it?" That is the first question I am asked by all newspaper reporters. But that is what you are doing when organizations become your chief concern. You use a typewriter to write letters, but you do not put it on an altar and worship it. No man from outside can make you free nor can organized worship, nor the immolation of yourselves for a cause, make you free nor can forming yourselves into an organization, nor throwing yourselves into works, make you free. If an organization be created for this purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself of that absolute, unconditioned Truth. I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. ![]()
