Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-3Now your problems contain a lot of wisdom for me while you may be having the pain. I hadinstructions to make a new kind of musical instrument for spiritual healing. I must have a clay orterra-cotta jar of certain dimensions. Those I have seen are too ornate and needlessly expensive. ThenI have to attach string to it in a certain fashion. It is barely possible that I shall do this at Mendocinowhen I go there, and where there are some ceramicists—also musicians. But this music would be foryour healing and benefit.The spiritual healing is much more important. Once I had as injury at Kaaba Allah and the painwas intense and Pir-o-Murshid appeared and said, “Don’t grab your knee, grab your breath.” So Irepeated “Ya Shaffee, Ya Kaffee.” And since then when harmed I grab the breath, and in many thingsgrab the breath and thus produce what might pass for “self-healing.”But there is another method I learned in Pakistan which is called Irfan.Christian Spiritualism. The Gospel of St. Thomas is so clear that there is need to comment. Sofar as transmission is concerned I have never asked whether it came through St. Peter or St. Paul soI do not speak with authority. But in one of my forthcoming epics there will be an entirely differentChrist. Something like my “Rejected Avatar.”Yoga. The story got out that this “Rejected Avatar” is a poem of self-pity. So I told of aboutsix Californians all of whom have Indian spiritual awakening and all totally rejected by society. Ibrought in the Gita translation of one of them and they recognized I was speaking for several persons.Paul Brunton also belongs in this class although he was not basically a Californian. But he hadto face Hollywood and now he is a Sannyasin.On May 30 I shall be in a Yoga pageant at the Marin Art & Garden Center. To this group hasbeen manifested:a. fana-fi-Rassoul in Krishnab. Archetypal realization in Saraswati.But by numinous consent b. has been dropped in favor of a. I tell you, beloved, that Krishnamethods would advance in Vedanta and Saraswati methods in Siddhartha.Rehana is really the Delphic Oracle of India. But she was an oracle, not a seer and we hadone difference of opinion that the word was not the thing (semantics.) In her house also there wascomplete mergence in Lord Krishna, remarkable because she came from a prominent Muslim family.Now she has had the mergence in Lord Krishna and there cannot be any difference.The subject is this: I said and I say, “Peace” is not a word; Peace is beyond words, beyondthoughts, beyond anything that express itself from below to above. “The thought of Peace is but athought; thought born of Peace can resurrect the world.”
