Here's the text version (OCR'd):
Reza Ganjavi
P.O.Box 131, Zurich, 8035, Switzerland Johannesburg, 11 January 1995 Dear friends: Trustees of KFA and KFT, and a few other friends: There are birds of many different songs and colors here in South Africa, where one is working for a few weeks. On this beautiful summer day, one heard of a tragedy. Ojai has caught a disease; a similar disease that afflicted Brockwood, namely, conflict. I am very concerned that what is happening to Krishnamurti's work is exactly what messed up great religions. What do we say to the man from Seattle? He comes to learn more about the life and teachings of this godly man, this king of love and wisdom. He finds a foundation caught in division, conflict, and power-struggle. He thinks to himself: If people who were so close to Krishnamurti are living in such conflict, perhaps he was right; perhaps nobody got this thing. Or as he read in one of the biographies, perhaps those too close to the sun were really burned. The most important factor in preserving Krishnamurti's work, more important than a million dollar archive building, is living it, although living it is a choiceless, not motivated, matter. How can we live it if we perpetuate conflict? Do we realize the consequences? What is it going to take for us to change? This is a very serious matter. Krishnamurti would be horrified at these events. He would dissolve the foundations as he once tried to do in India because what is happening is directly contrary to what he taught. I have heard of an account when K asked a teacher he was hiring (paraphrasing): Sir, are you able to walk away, to step down, to quit your role and go, as easily as you walked in? Are we attached to power and position? Krishnamurti challenged us: can we live without conflict? Are we in conflict with ourselves? Is conflict rooted in thought which is primarily fragmentary? Does the action of a person who is fragmented breed more fragmentation? Is conflict due to the process of image-making? Are we caught in the past and therefore have closed the window to the magic and fragrance of the present, which is love? Do we know what it means to die to the past? Can goodness flower in conflict? Are we used to having problems and therefore seek them? Do we get energy and stimulation from conflict? Why do we need drugs of any kind: chemical or psychological stimulants and depressants? Are we dependent? Does conflict sustain our sense of self - the "me''? Are we empty, nothing, and dull without it? Do we escape &om nothingness? Conflict is loss of energy: the energy which is necessary for change. Energy is the foundations' most important resource. Do we feel the urgency of change? Peace, Affection, and Concern
