This is one of many similar, in my opinion, pretty stupid, statements that K was
fond of making. Obviously he made this statement to point out the lacking
usefulness of the TS. Did TS try to organize truth? Not that I know. TS was and
is an organization promoting the search for truth. If the Truth is at the core
of life, perhaps even its essence, then truth has organized itself. Creation is
a manifestation of Truth and is wonderfully organized. The human body is
wonderfully organized. No society can exist without organization. Order
(organization) is the first law of creation. Without order and organization
there would be no meaningful manifestation. Why then, would it be wrong for
truth seekers to get together in communities, groups, organizations? I see the
K's statement " You cannot organize truth"
as an example of what I call his arrogance.

Not everybody at the same time, but more and more of us, gradually, will face
the truth about ourselves. Again, K's answer was, IMO, arrogant and judgmental.

We are complex beings. Many of us have a genuine desire for truth, but we are
still in the process of ridding ourselves of lesser desires. So, it is not
correct to say that there are no 4ruth seekers. We grow in our desire and search
for truth.
