Preaching by religious organizations is like the blind trying to lead the blind. Men are eager to pass for sadhus but do not like to BE sadhus.

Brahmajna Ma

 (from "The Life and the Teachings of Brahmajna Ma"):

Many religious organizations try to get intelligent and educated men to preach their creed in India and abroad. They become talkers but have no knowledge of the practical side. Mother used to say, "These preachers will only waste their time and energy and no effect will be produced. They are like the blind trying to lead the blind. It is a pity that all this is being done in the name of religion." About the disciples of Saints, Mother used to say, "Chaitanya-Dev had me very good disciples.  Saints come and go but there are very few to reach the goal by following them. Men are eager to pass for sadhus but do not like to BE sadhus. After a saint departs his followers sometimes form themselves into a sort of mutual admiration society and advertise their greatness, but it is very difficult to hide the truth.”

Some of her first disciples wanted to start another organization like the Ramakrishna Mission and preach about her teachings and enroll followers. She was very much against it, and this strong attitude of hers put an end to the enthusiasm. 

She said, “You are always with me, you are always hearing my views and getting instruction – how far have YOU profited by these? Why do you expect others will be highly benefitted by getting second-hand and sometimes distorted instruction from you? Do good to yourselves first!”
