Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-4Jesus was more concerned with feeding than with “saving man’s souls” The feeding is the saving.The last lesson of some of the Gospels is “feed my lambs,” “feed my lambs.” There is no hellfire-damnationstuff. There is very little church-stuff.In the last century was a Sufi named Waris who did just that. I have his teaching but the onlyway you can have it now is other to come here or to send some money so I can have it typed. Itis beyond my capacity. I could show you the methodology only in person (no cost). Even the latePresident Prasad of India was among his mureeds—which would shock a lot of Hindus and Muslimsboth and de refused absolutely by tee philistines who control cultural relations. But PresidentRadhakrishnan knows this and I am pretty sure Nehru does too.Finally—the Sound-Mysticism in being openly demonstrated now in the Yoga Classes. Reachinga certain point it was agreed that we stop, but there is more living Divine Mother than all thebooks or theologies or speculations. But we are stopping. Instead the Sound will be transmuted inway or ways more acceptable, a beautiful synthesis, let us say—for the sake of saying—of Pir-o-MurshidInayat Khan and Sri Krishna.The shadow of this is in “The Rejected Avatar” which is not quite so rejected now as a poem.Now as to the food problems. When I came into the top level scientific conference on that inIndia I was amazed to be greeted by the Hindus: “Where have you been? We have been waitingfor you.” We do not understand the Indian mind and we have made it almost impossible to reach itby interposing a bunch of German metaphysicians. But a few scientists who never read the Germanmetaphysicians and who deal with Asians directly know that the only way to help Asians is withinthe context of their own cultures. The scientists know this, the diplomats do not. It is not an easyworld. We are leaving it to the UN instead of God. Now Mr. Master of Names, can you get anythingpositive out of UN-O and UN-ESCO and UN-ARWA, and Un-and Un-Un?Somebody has said that the name of Jesus is Yes-Us. It is certainly not un anything.S. A. M.
