Ending the Trip (1970)
Our very last talk of the whole trip was in a public hall in London, the famous Caxton Hall. Many people came, including some of Alo's old classmates from the University of Toronto. At the end of the talk, we invited all the new London disciples to come up and stand on the platform. They were absolutely thrilled with joy and pride to be asked to stand up in Caxton Hall and be introduced as my disciples.
Now we have about twenty-five disciples in London. Out of these twenty-five, I wish to say that fifteen or sixteen are solid, very solid, disciples. They will really stay. Others may disappear. In all our Centres, this happens.
Here in Puerto Rico, when we started our journey, do you remember how many disciples came and how many new faces we saw? Yet only three or four of those original people have stayed. At least twenty-five old faces have disappeared.
Anyway, these three Centres in the British isles are doing extremely well: London in England, Dublin in Ireland and Glasgow in Scotland.

The Supreme gave us enormous strength and cascades of energy. Otherwise, when I think of our journey in terms of human capacity, I am simply horror-struck. Even now it is beyond my imagination to recall what we achieved in such a short span of time: about twenty-six days, less than a month. How was it possible? Because the inner Pilot, the Supreme, was operating in us and through us. It is His Mission. We are just His instruments. It is His Manifestation, and to fulfil that Manifestation, we came into the world. Every moment that we are fulfilling Him, we are also realising Him. The more we fulfil Him, the more we realise Him. For one purpose only, we came into the world: to fulfil the Supreme according to our capacity, our individual capacity.
In the morning we were in one place; in the afternoon somewhere else. At night, we went somewhere to give a talk and came back at one or two o'clock in the morning. This was our life.
We have to say that we travel to love and not that we love to travel. Whenever you go to New York, you also should feel that you are going to New York to love and not merely to travel.
So when I come here, I also come here to love you. My travelling is my loving. The other day at the San Juan television station I said, "I come here to be inspired and to inspire you. When I inspire you, you go deep within yourselves. When you go deep within, you inspire me to reveal my aspiration. The deeper you go with my inspiration, the easier it becomes for me to bring to the fore my aspiration. And I offer my aspiration to each one of you."
I come here to be inspired and to inspire you. It is you who, after taking my inspiration, bring my aspiration to the fore. That aspiration again I offer to you and try to help you to reach your highest realisation.
