SUBUD AS AN ORGANIZATION
However, since we are human beings living in this world, who need food and clothing and who need
to look after ourselves so that we are at peace and secure in society, as well as worshipping God we need to create
an organisation, so that we can organise ourselves in the way people normally do in this world. Of course the way
we organise ourselves needs to be adjusted to the conditions of our local society, and also to the laws and regulations
of the country we are in.Therefore we need to formulate statutes that do not go against the laws and regulations
of our country, nor the principles and aims of Subud.
