Very basic problem in your argument is you are quoting from some 
other book when you ought to observe, examine conditions created by 
Blavatskyan fundamentalists today. Instead of observing, judging, 
carefully examining conditions as exist today, you quoted from letter 
written 120 years back in very different circumstances. So first 
thing to do is, I would suggest, try to see things as they are 
without conditioned mind. If you want to know what it means to see 
things as they are, you may read some books of Krishnamurti. 


You told experience of fundamentalism in Sri Lanka and Jakarta. Then 
it becomes even more important to see that dogma and fundamentalism 
are not formed in the TS.
