Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2The more Sam attends to scientific and food problems, which is part of his Dharma, the moresuccessful he has been. And recently, one man with whom he has been corresponding has beenpromoted to a high seat in Washington. Parts of the plans were originally inspired by a man bornin India. His name was Dilip Saund and he became a Judge and then a member of the AmericanCongress and then a National Hero but was ill after that for a long time and has made a great namein the history of California.So Sam decided not to try to help out the widows and orphans and poor any more, but stickto his Dharma and this has been very good. The same is true of his association with the Buddhists,which has become most relevant.But the big report is different. There is a man in San Francisco who permits himself to be calleda Guru and Yogi. And it came to Sam that he must help this man become a Guru and Yogi. But inCalifornia, any American who has any spiritual attainment is shunned by other Americans. Theywill go to anybody who comes from India, or even to Englishmen and Germans, but not to Americans.And now the Englishmen are telling the Americans that drug-taking helps them to attainSamadhi, and the Americans who have spiritual development protest, but the public accepts theEnglishmen who have no attainment and ignore the Americans.While most of the Americans are men, there is Judith Tyberg, who is very wonderful, and alsomuch ignored. She told Sam her studio was filled with Masters and Sam had an experience and thisGuru asked Sam to tell him, which he did. Everybody else flouted, so Sam thought this man shouldbecome a great Guru.Then Sam copied the material from the Lesser Upanishads for him, which is mostly Tantra butkept it secret. Then Sam began revising his Indian epics, first “The Rejected Avatar,” which has to dowith Lord Krishna, and next “Siva! Siva!” which has been revised with many Yoga systems, and verydifferent from the form in which it was in 1956 when Sam brought it to Anandashram.One night in the meditation hall could hear the God: “This man must be brought to Ramdas,even if you become his Guru first.” The Voice was very clear. So then Sam copied the Siva poetryand gave him some keys, and that night it was announced that Shivananda was dead and the Gurusaid that Shivananda had been his master. Sam went home and then a completely different type ofYoga was revealed to him, which combines Indian and American methods, and can be taught to children,beginning with infancy. It will take about two years before it can be recorded. But as this cameafter Sam heard: “This man must accept Ramdas as his guru”—this will be part of the Dharma.Love and blessings,S. A. M.
