I maintain that truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. 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. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others”
(Indian philosopher-thinker J.Krishnamurti at the opening day of the annual Star Camp at Ommen, Holland, on August 3, 1929, where he dissolved “The Order of the Star in the East” that was founded by his foster mother Annie Besant in 1911 ,then the President of Theosopy Society)
