All organizations have arisen out of the relationships between
disciples. In fact, two disciples are not connected with each other at all.
Each disciple is connected with the master in his individual capacity. A master
can be connected with millions of disciples, but the connection is personal,
not organizational. Disciples don't have any relationship. Yes, they have a
certain friendliness, a certain lovingness. I am avoiding the word
`relationship' because that is binding. I am not calling it friendship even,
but `friendliness' -- because they are all fellow travelers walking on the same
path, in love with the same master, but they are related to each other through
the master. They are not related to each other directly.
