Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-4Your Father’s notes before the first constitution outlined two methods of spiritual advancementand two only:A. Zikr B. Hal and makamBeing now in the perpetual Zikr there is the right earned besides being on the Jelali path ofMujahida. Your father stressed Mujahida and Mushahida and your confreres don’t even know theseterms.Fortunately, by the Divine grace, I have the ryazat of at least four Pir-o-Murshids of this century,and these will be integrated with the methods of Hazrat Inayat Khan. But today there is evenmore. In 1911 your father spoke on the spiritual dances and these will now be given to the world,especially in accord with the teachings of Bullah Shah whom your father venerated and whose tombI have visited.Despite all the papers on spiritual phenomena and spirit phenomena, those of you who do nothave these things wipe off the book. This is done in one direction, and being done in defiance of Allahand his Hierarchy, that Sufism that will spread in Europe will come, is coming from North Africaand not from those who destroy or hide the records and won’t talk to each other while mumblingabout the Human Brotherhood.Your father wanted me to carry the Message to the intellectuals, he appointed me the exotericleader. You have refused to recognize that, your rivals have refused to recognize that. This is called“surrender.” There is no need now for me to ask for papers, anything. Having the Grace of Allah,to Whom be all Praise, and in tune with the Sufis all over this world and the fana-fi-Rassoul and thefana-fi-lillah and other forms of fana, I must ask you now to be complete, and ignore all requests, forit you cannot go in the one direction, be faithful to the direction in which you go, stand fast or surrender,don’t compromise. Every person finds Truth some day, either in the herenow or hereafter. Itis only that there will be, inshallah, a real spiritual brotherhood among real people in all parts of thereal earth, accepting God-Allah as the basis, and then the teachings and not a lot of a sides put in tojustify some side-tracking. God is the Forgiver of all short-comings.God bless you,Sufi Ahmed Murad.
