DISCOURSES & TALKS BY MEHER BABA

PUBLISHING BABA'S DISCOURSES

7 August, 1927

That day, regarding a proposal to have Baba's discourses published in various monthly magazines, Baba remarked:

It is not advisable to send my notes, lectures, and discourses for editing to any writer or editor who is away from me. The writer must be here in order to ensure correctness. For example, Dastur took notes of certain of my explanations in writing the other day, yet while putting the same in his own language, he made a mess of it! My explanations may be recomposed in forceful and stylish language, but the spirit and meaning must remain unchanged. Such a writer will come in the due course of time. Dastur writes well but his uncompromising tone and terms are likely to offend some communities.
