Thanks to both of you,

find Documents/Org/ -type f -iname "*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath
{}`][{}]]" > meta-org.org \;

Instead of "Documents/Org/" you should put there your own top
directory where you keep Org files.

Then open meta-org.org


I am confused. I don't understand the syntax. The line "find Documents/Org/
-type f -iname "*.org" -exec echo " * [[file:`realpath {}`][{}]]" >
meta-org.org \;" should be a function of its own?

M-x find-dired RET Documents/Org/ RET -iname "*.org" RET

Once I press "RET", what does -iname mean? I am new in Emacs. You mean,
this is just using find-dired to browse the org files?
Thank you both!
