Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 19631088 Fulton St.,San Francisco 17, Calif.August 6, 1963To Pir Zade Vilayat Inayat Khan,Fazal Manzil, Sufi Headquarters,Suresnes, Seine, FranceBeloved One of Allah,Toward the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony and Beauty, the Only Being, United WithAll the Illuminated Souls Who Form the Embodiment of the Master, the Spirit of Guidance.Today I am writing two books, one is scientific and every scientist that has gone over mywords and works has accepted every point down to the most minute. It is all based on experienceand knowledge, there is no symbology or hyperbolism or anything in it which cannot be validated.And the other book is based on the experience in another direction. Every time somethingshown to a great religious leader or saint he accepts and already in my notes the greatest of theworld’s leaders in Buddhism and Hinduism have accepted it. While the common people go aroundrejecting, the leaders accept and gradually, in the case of Buddhism, as the leaders come, they get thecommon people to accept. And here, a Sufi is on the “Encyclopedia of Buddhism” staff because hehas the dharma by Grace and nobody can take it from him, Every ego, every ignorant person will rejectand especially one finds those who give lectures on karma. And one can list a whole lot of lecturerson karma and they talk and their lives are miserable; they come to unhappy ends, but you can’tstop them. They put their ego-shadows over the light and fool everybody including themselves.The above Invocation is in two parts. It is symbolic to those who have not the realization andit is truth as al-Hujweri (Data Ganj Baksh) says, to the “arrived ones.” But in the West the “arrivedones” are all spurned by the powerful, the noisy, and perhaps it has always been that way. So wehave the ridiculous situation of peoples saying that Allah is the Only Being and asserting themselveswithout the Grace. If they have the Grace they may assert and if they have not the Grace it is eitherthe karma or even damnation, and as Holy Qur’an says, “Woe, woe unto you who go astray after theguidance has been given,” Yet all through the years it is so.And the second part of the Invocation refers to Hierarchy. To you people who desecrate theMessage by holding that “flesh and blood do inherit the Kingdom of Heaven,” Jesus Christ or noJesus Christ, the Hierarchy is a symbol; while to the Sufis the Hierarchy is a reality.For Examples. (1) A representative of the Hierarchy—can give home, place date—told me ofthe impending split between Russia and China long ago. (2) A Representative of the Hierarchy—cangive name, place date—formulated the plan which has led to the tri-party agreement on banning thebomb. There is no symbology in it, these are real Sufis on this real earth and this real time, if we callthe outer manifestation “real.” And nobody, be they followers of “flesh and blood inherit the Kingdom”And thus are anti-Christ, or followers of Spurious Sufis who make false prophecies can doanything about it.
