To Tim: Good-Bad Judgments --Maharaj in competition

[Guest guest]

Dear Elizabeth and Tim,

I was definitely making a judgement, now and at the time. I was

comparing J. Krishnamurti and Maharaj. As for Maharaj, I do not think

he was making a judgement. He was just stating fact, " Krishnamurti is a

great thinker. " But what does being a great thinker mean and is that a

compliment as everyone else present assumed?
