I would use a motor car or a steamship to travel, these are only physical mechanisms which have nothing whatever to do with spirituality. I would make use of an organization which would take me to London, for example this is quite a different kind of organization, merely mechanical, like the post or the telegraph. I do not want to belong to any organization of a spiritual kind, please understand this. In spite of this, you will probably form other Orders, you will continue to belong to other organizations searching for Truth. So that is the first reason, from my point of view, why the Order of the Star should be dissolved. 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. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. 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. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. “Oh, not at all,” the devil replied, “I am going to let him organize it.” “That is a very bad business for you, then,” said his friend. The friend said to the devil, “What did that man pick up?” “He picked up a piece of Truth,” said the devil. “You may remember the story of how the devil and a friend of his were walking down the street, when they saw ahead of them a man stoop down and pick up something from the ground, look at it, and put it away in his pocket. It is a question neither for rejoicing nor for sadness, because it is inevitable, as I am going to explain. Many people will be delighted, and others will be rather sad. “We are going to discuss this morning the dissolution of the Order of the Star.
