Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2I both wrote him and told him in person that we have no more English equivalents for thesewords than for alcohol, cotton, muslin, algebra, etc. He ignored my statements … at the same timehe has been advocating the Ohsawa diet and this gentleman is, along with his diet, using Japanesewords when we do have English equivalents and Reps is riding along with him. This has made mewonder very much.And now he is going to hide—what for? from whom?I have just written a proposal for the exchange of philosophers between East and West and senta copy to the University of California. I am indifferent, for if they do not answer or answer adverseshall go to the hilt for Reiser. Reiser is more admired by some philosophers than he may know, butthe fact is that our so called “cultural program” is full of superficialities and entertainments whichplease copy writers and publicity people and do not reach humanity at any level.No answer is needed to the above and I don’t know whether it is a near-tragedy or farce–comedy.
