Veg Saying of Jesus from Islam and the Gospel of Thomas


Veg Saying of Jesus from Islam





Christ said, “Flesh eating flesh? How offensive an act!” - The Muslim Jesus: Sayings and Stories in Islamic Literature, by Tarif Khalidi:

The saying above reminds me of The Gospel of Thomas, Saying 112: Soul should be independent of flesh: Jesus said, “Woe to the flesh that depends upon a soul. Woe to the soul that depends upon flesh.” (The Gnostic Scriptures, Bentley Layton, David Brakke)


Because some Ebionite Christians held out longer in Arabia, that's probably why some in Islam had an awareness about Christian veg teachings.

A Message of Love and Unity


A Message of Love and Unity





"Now all the satsangies must live in love. You must live lovingly along with the satsangis of Tarn Taran, Delhi, and Beas... Again I instruct you to have love for all the satsangis. The people may say anything as they like. Do not bother about them but you must live with them lovingly. Do Bhajan Simran regularly. Pay my love to all the satsangis and Radhasoami to all." (Teja Singh - Baba Teja Singh, Dera Baba Sawan Singh, Saidpur, 3-4-1955, excerpted from a letter quoted in, The Radha Soami Tradition, by Om Parkash Kaushal, pages 241-242)
