Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2Having faced death in 1925 I was saved by Grace and the appearance of Khidr. Pir-o-MurshidInayat Khan said, “Yes” and his mureeds said “No” excepting one Saladin Reps. And to those whosay “No” it is remarkable that among the real mureeds of the real Inayat Khan we two have notaged, and nobody would guess our age or explain our vitality. People can make all sorts of faces andcriticisms, but they cannot explain this vitality.Today I am to chant and read poetry and both the chanting and the poetry are the result of thisGrace through Khizr and the whole world will accept this , inshallah, and the people who pretendto Sufism without the Divine Wisdom are fooling themselves. I say this, because my work is on theJalali line, for which I have had innumerable initiations, and even the Buddhist Fudo which ignorantpeople cannot understand. I showed just one picture to the leaders of the Japanese Community andthey did what we call volte face so fast. But when one has to depend upon outer things, whetherpictures or miracles, this shows absence of faith, absence of love, absence of surrender and what thereal Sufis, may Allah bless them, call Absence.After Khidr there was another experience which your blessed father wished me to write and allthe followers of all the groups establishing their private Pir-o-Murshids rejected and I quote his ownwords from “Rassa Shastra,”He who was truly a merciful teacher,Who helped the feeble to fulfill their lives,Who was an ever-present help in sorrow,Who grieved with his own people and in the trouble of others,He was my beloved Mohammed.He who forgave the faults of the wrong-doers,Who cleansed the hearts of the timorous and despairing from their fear,Who vanquished evil with power and with might, (Note)Who reconciled families long at war and embittered against each other,He was my beloved Mohammed.Can you say that? Can your relatives say that? They have destroyed the original constitution,they have changed the records, they have hidden teachings, they have put a healing, by voting asPir-o-Murshid, and none of them say “Allah” or “God.”They accept the audacious statements of “Murshid” Talewar Dussaq:“There is another point: some people who had the privilege of being initiated by Pir-o-MurshidHazrat Inayat Khan, when Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan left this physical plane, they thoughtthey were directly in touch with Him and had a disregard of the living Pir-o-Murshid.” Well, yourblessed father did just that. In has “Confessions of Inayat Khan” and elsewhere he tells how hisown son, Seyyed Moudani, guided him at all times, and he did not follow the direct successor of thatPir.
