Why do spiritual leaders establish organizations despite their decline?

Even knowing that decay is inevitable, wise masters establish organizations to guide the seekers, shaping the form of truth themselves rather than allowing it to be distorted by others.

— Osho
According to Osho, organization is inevitable the moment truth is spoken; agreement and disagreement crystallize into groups. Knowing decay will follow, wise masters still found organizations to compassionately reach the 'in-between' who can be helped, to shape the form themselves rather than leave it to others who would distort it more, thus maximizing benefit and minimizing harm despite eventual rot.

If a teacher speaks, a group will form anyway, so it’s wiser for the teacher to shape it gently to help people and prevent bigger problems later.
