Ældre Kosmos og Kontaktbreve

Kontaktbrev 1960/1 side 8
Delhi (India) 20th December 1959.
Dear friends of Martinus Institute in Scandinavia.
I have great pleasure in extending to you my heartiest greetings for a very happy and bright Christmas as also wishing you a very prosperous and peaceful New Year. In this all my friends heartily join me – friends who are now very happy to be serious students of Martinus Cosmology in India.
When I told some of my friends of my desire to send you these greetings, they and many more expressed a very warm and sincere desire that they too wanted to join me in sending you these good wishes and thanks,
It has been a very great desire on our part to convey to you our grateful thanks – mine as well as of those readers of the CONTACT LETTERS all over India who have conveyed their deep appreciation and thanks, many of them repeatedly, of your wonderful gift – gift of spiritual knowledge to India which we appreciate more than anything else in the world. These readers of CONTACT LETTERS have sent hundreds of letters to the Delhi Centre of the Martinus Institute. All these letters from all parts of India show very clearly how much this gift of yours of Martinus Cosmology has been appreciated and accepted. And you should not be surprised to know that 95% of these readers have never met Mr. Larsson or me.
You know we Indians are highly religion conscious, and deeply spiritual minded, and it has been our pride to have given out some of the highest philosophies of Life for thousands of years. But in this age of science we needed a real science of all our philosophies. We in India are very, very happy that Saint Martinus has now given it to the world, and through your help we in India have also received it now. For instance his wonderfully original analysis of the immortality of the Soul and the principle of Karma as already acceptable to us, is simply wonderful, original and real to stand all tests of even the most sceptic mind. His Symbols about Energies and X. 1., X. 2., and X. 3. and others appeal to us real and practical,
You are indeed very, very fortunate to have Saint Martinus with you. You must be rightly proud of him and his great knowledge. We are also proud of him and congratulate you for your good fortune. We have heard of your missionaries in the past sent to our country and the beautiful churches they built. We have also tasted and known of your high class dairy and farm products. True we have fully appreciated all this. But I assure you never before has your country commanded so much respect and honour in our hearts as now, and this is all because you have amongst you such a highly developed and spiritually conscious person as Saint Martinus. We in India call such spiritually high persons as Saints or Sages. So when we refer to him we always call him as Saint Martinus. We respect him and because of that your country as he has given such wonderful spiritual knowledge to the world through what you call and we know now as Martinus Cosmology.
Beyond doubt we are truly grateful to Saint Martinus for this. But how could we have heard of him or his knowledge if you as his friends and friends of the Institute had not made it possible by your real practical help to send this noblest of all gifts – – gift of spiritual knowledge through your gift of CONTACT LETTERS and books on MARTINUS COSMOLOGY.
India may forget your gift of churches and your finest quality cheese and butter, but I can assure you very confidently that India will never forget your country because of Saint Martinus, his Cosmology and you his friends who made a free gift of it to us in India. We can also never forget your greatest ambassador Mr. Erik Gerner Larsson. Then how can we forget you his friends who helped him in every possible way to visit India not once, not twice but thrice. I can assure you that without his these three visits to India and the hard work he has done each time in meeting people, addressing large and small meetings, talking to groups and giving personal interviews, and along with all this attending to all the minutest details connected with the Delhi Centre of the Martinus Institute. It is all because of your real help and support to Mr. Larsson and his hard work at great risk to his health and personal comforts that to-day we have a real working Centre of the Institute in India from which hundreds of people all over India know and benefit by the study of Martinus Cosmology.
But, dear friends, India is a very big country with 400 millions so with the limited resources at the disposal of Mr. Larsson it needs patience and time to reach even the 40 millions English knowing people of India. Mr. Larsson is doing his best with the help of his Indian friends but you know, as you are his helpers that his resources are small.
I have been fortunate in being in close touch with Mr, Larsson and Martinus Mission and I can say with the fullest knowledge that interest in Martinus Cosmology is growing and has taken deep roots, and if your help will continue as uptil now, for next two or three years then India will become not only the biggest Centre for the study of Martinus Cosmology but it may (I feel so) become the Centre from which Martinus Cosmology will go out to the other parts of the world. You know we Indians are always hungry for spiritual knowledge and have always given it out to the world the spiritual food.
Permit me to explain that we in India have never ever publicly or collectively thanked even our greatest spiritual teachers or those who have helped these teachers in giving out spiritual knowledge. As we leave such things for social, political and materialistic things. The best way we thank our spiritual teachers or those who help them is by silently praying for them to God. In India neither the spiritual teachers or their supporters and helpers expect any thanks as they regard it as their duty to God to help in giving out spiritual knowledge as God's Gift. So they never want to get any thanks openly. So please do not misunderstand us or think us in any way less thankful to you if we have not held a meeting of the students of Martinus Cosmology or collected a long long list of their signatures to a letter of thanks to you. Believe me such things are never done in India, But you can accept it as truth that thousands of people who have so far received this new cosmic knowledge of Martinus through your help are really thankful to you from the bottom of their hearts.
Let me close this letter by once again thanking you for your helping in giving to us in India this wonderful gift of spiritual science – – Martinus Cosmology. May His Blessings be upon you all.
Very sincerely yours
M.S. Mathur
