        I quote below from an earlier quote:
===========================

        Several times I discussed with Krishnamurti the function of the
Theosophical Society. He said: You cannot organize truth."

        I pointed out that the Society was intended to be only a business
organization.  It existed for the promotion of truth, but did not say what
that truth was.

        " I am afraid you cannot have such a brotherhood," was
his reply. " Consider the weakness of human nature. Some creed will get
control of the thing, or will be fighting for it and giving trouble all the
time'

PS: I here refers to Ernest Wood.
=====================================

        May be K saw this coming even then.
