notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: unidentified woman (reader 3).
Question 1
Beloved master, we have dropped the word "work" because of its ugly connotations. Please say something about the word "worship" and its connotations.
Question 2
Beloved master, you say you respect America for its democracy and freedom. I feel that we are contradicting that spirit by submitting all visitors, who want to come to see you and our commune, to customs inspections at Portland and at Mirdad, by having them sign papers and wear wristbands.
This does not happen anywhere else in the USA. Was this part of the fascist mentality? Do we still need these things?
Question 3
Beloved master, J. Krishnamurti does not want an organization -- still his secretary, Raj Gopal, betrayed him and took possession of his finances and his archives. You approve of institutions and at times permit organization where necessary. In spite of due care, a similar situation to Krishnamurti's with Raj Gopal has happened with you and Sheela.
Does this mean that in the very nature of human beings such a situation cannot be avoided? Please explain.
