The way I see Krishnamurti is that he is the missing puzzle in a giant
mandala. His teachings explain how we must approach "theosophy". He is
very clear when he says:


<bold><color><param>FFFF,0000,0000</param>"</color></bold><color><param>FFFF=
,0000,0000</param><italic>As
I have said, I have only one purpose: to make man free, to urge him
towards freedom, to help him break away from all limitation, for that
alone will give him eternal happiness, will give him the unconditioned
realization of the self."


</italic></color>This list is no exception to the state of the world.
It's full of conditionings. See the way different personalities and
institutions are treated: HPB, Leadbeater, Krishnamurti, I AM, Adyar
and many more. HPB still has the highest acceptance (due to certain
conditionings) and conditionings regarding Leadbeater stop some people
to even consider what Krishnamurti had to say about "freedom" and
"authority", because it was Leadbeater who 'discovered' Krishnaji. The
whole thing is very sad (tragic) because we are caught in a very sticky
web, created by ourselves, and we won't be able to see clearly until we
take action and drop all conditionings.
