Discourses-----Day 20
July 3, 1940
Akshoyda, Kestoda and many others were sitting inside
Thakur’s room in the morning.
Sri
Sri Thakur : “Better type of
men are required to build up an organization. Active and sincere men of strong
commonsense are suitable for organization work ; only they. A feeling for the
collective interest dies out in the character of an individual belonging to a
passion-abiding, mean, self-seeking and enslaved people. That is why an
organization cannot grow in such an atmosphere. Therefore it is now necessary
to nurture the instinct for organization in every individual. Suppose someone
treats you badly. Immediately there should be someone ready to lay pressure on
him. This is called organization. Everyone should feel foe everyone else. Each
one should stick to his own job and at the same time help the other fellow. One
should develop this feeling : if anyone is affected I too am affected. He will
not leave his post and crave to be someone else out of inferiority. He will
make things smooth for others by discharging his own duties with dignity. We
have to be like this body system ; the eye remains the eye ; it does not desire
to be the ear. Neither does the ear want to be the eye. Just imagine the
trouble that would come if they did. Each part helps all other parts. Each goes
about its own work and knows that a contravention of this law will weaken it
along with the entire body system and cause eventual death. It has to be
automatic to the same degree in an organization ; only then can it be called an
organization. And this will sprout forth naturally wherever there is unity,
discipline and love for a common Ideal.”
