Theos-Talk Archives (July 1999 Message tt00047)

Much of what Jiddu Krishnamurti has been spoke over 60 years after his
famous "Truth is a Pathless Land" (if anyone has not seen it, I can post
it) speech is on the same lines. This is also in line with what HPB wrote
and what has been mentioned in ML to APS.

Neither society nor any organization will easily accept or like an
independent thinker because he/she will be constantly using his/her powers
of discrimination.
