Thanks for the "Truth is a Pathless Land."

My first thought was: wow! I want to join his organisation! And then when I
read some more I realised he was talking about me - at a personal level. I
previously though that by joining any organisation (especially one with a
reputation) would lead me to the truth. Now I have to consider my motives
and strip away the falseness of 'me'.

I'll continue to read and re-read the speech until it sinks in: and hopeful
I'll gain a centre without being tossed to and fro with every wind of
doctrine.

BTW, if you lot agree with Krishnamurti's speech, why all the wrangling
about which Theosophical Society is best. I don't know if you are, it's just
the way I interpret your posts.

Thanks, Alan.

Glad to see your reaction.

The motto of TS is -- There is no Religion Higher Than Truth. It is not
"There is no Religion than Theosophy as we interpret it". Nor the object of
the TS is to be a chela school so that we all can quickly take inititations
and become Adepts and even super Adepts with no end in sight.

I think if we are really interested in Truth (not as someone defined it or
explained it), the we are all in search of Truth and it may anywhere and
may also have many surprises. So long as we keep our focus on the search,
all else become perhaps less important. Of course in our search for Truth
we cannot forget all our fellow beings whose lives are filled with sorrow
and suffering.

BTW, Krishnamurti Foundation in America has a Website -- www.kfa.org. On
the website you will not find any pictures of the Trustees/Members of the
Board, like some of the theosophical sites.
