Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2Brian it, an angel-man though he may not be aware of it. So was Phra Sumangalo. But in talkingover with the Americans and Chinese there is a curious acceptance of the Prajna which is to sayin Sufi terms, Kashf, which is the continual operation of the attunement of the self-less human mindwith a Universal Mind, which is Wisdom, Compassion and Love. This is, the actuality and here the“exotericists” of all groups join.In Gayan it states, “These two cannot exist together, self and God.” But the dispensing ofthe prayers is usually accompanied by the dispensing of the fine print. I am regarding the livesof two Muslims—one the grandfather of the lady I regard as “Mother India” and the other of aSaint in North Africa. And they more both engaged in ceaseless arguments about a certain “Islam”whose proponents could quote neither Qur’an nor Hadith. The Mohammed given us by so-called“Muslims” and equally the Mohammed given us by critics have no relation to the autobiographycontained in the Hadiths which are on record—which are referred to by both in a sort of off-handfashion and let go at that. These Hadith confirm the Universe of Wisdom, Compassion and Love.There is no Sufism which is not operational. This was laid down by Al-Ghazali but writers ofboth the above camps of ignoramuses treat it syllogistically and dialectically. Suppose we treatedFranklin’s kite experience as subject-philosophy; or Madam Curie’s researches. Well, this is what isdone with Mohammed, Buddha Al-Ghazali and so many mystics.We are having locally another cosmic opera. Bishop Pike has attacked the “speaking withtongues” and he is right, that speaking of tongues unaccompanied by the Holy Spirit, which is to saythe Universal Mind of Wisdom, Compassion and Love is nothing but obsession. This is totally differentfrom Paul who insisted that without the love all was as the sound of brass. But bible-students donot study the Bible. They abstract and select. The whole world is marked by and inability to Integrate.Now this Holy Spirit may operate through vocal sound—hence poetry; or through music—though I limit nothing. One single man here saved me by instead of ignoring or challenging he said,“Show me.” There has been a whole stream coming from that. I have been able to give to the worldPir-o-Murshid’s Yoga and elements, of the Mysticism of Sound have been demonstrated in my presenceby disciples of the man whom I have taught, and to an astonishing degree which none of theInayati Sufis have gotten. P.O.M. said, “The Message is in the Sphere” and the pseudo-disciples holdit is in the person.From this you can see I don’t need books, papers, anything but the practices of the Presence ofGod either by personal effort or by personal surrender. It does not matter. But what is insurmountablydifficult is to be called on to be a Khidr Sufi (which is now official), a Hierarchal representativeand a Wali simultaneously. I cannot do it and all I can do was the best possible from day to day withno time off.
