Diary 1963 - Murshid Sam's Living Stream

Diaries 1963-2No doubt I shall have to learn more about the Bodhisattvas. I will not be a “stone-Buddha,”cannot be. This means more negotiations with the Japanese—do not anticipate any difficulty.Cooked more Rice this a.m. and sealed the rest before moving. My new address will be 143 SecondAve., San Francisco 18. I shall be near quite a few old friends and also near the East-West House.If there are any letters from Europe I shall tell them that there is no need for anything, that theymay seclude the teachings and lessons in any way they wish but the Sufi world will soon have themall. I shall wait for Bryn to write. In one sense he is not to be forgiven—PoM wrote at length on kashfand even Manly Hall—and the Vedas—point out the hrydaya meant the heart-immediate-grasping. Inotice that failure comes when the heart is blocked. Last night I felt terrifically strong with a maximumof both pain and bliss at the same time—the pain, the sympathetic or empathic attunement toothers.Today I am afraid even to crack jokes because I find some of them turn out to be too prophetic.PoM gave in the Githas these sciences:a. Healing (Shifayat) b. Psychic Power (Amaliat)c. Concentration (Murakkabah) d. Esoteric practices (Ryazat)The papers on Spiritualism did not impress me and those on Sadhana are really Hindu and Ican work out other papers if necessary, covering other facets of wisdom.I think there are other lessons too. But these omita. Mushahida—Contemplation, which is the positive side to the Dhyana of Buddhism andHinduism.b. Mujahida—which is the self-purging and is not only moral but “hierarchal.”The Irfan which I tried to show you, may be above POM’s most advanced teaching that appearsin his literature and higher lessons. But in the mss. here there may be other high teachers. Youare right when you said I am rich, in this respect now too rich. And I still have all my writing andeverything else.
