Discourses-----Day 18
February 7, 1940
In the afternoon Thakur talked with Maulavi Sahib.
“Rasul on many occasions stressed past Prophets and
those that were to follow. He went so far to say that it was not possible to
name the host of Prophets that were to follow. One who tries to make a
distinction among the messengers, making one small and another big, is a Kafir
(Unbeliever). There may be five children born of the same father. Don’t you
think that you belittle the father by ignoring the others and giving regard to
only one of them ? If you are not able to discover the grandfather in the
grandson, you have not seen the grandfather at all. Grandfather exists in the
grandson as the former prophet exists in the present one. It is the annotations
that do us mischief ; they twist all that is straight. It is not difficult to
believe that there is no difference in the essential facts. All the trouble
starts from the artistry of interpretation. There is a group ho accept Khoda
(God) but not the Rasuls. What as absurd position to take ! There are many who
make difference between Hazarat Rasul, Hazarat Jesus and Hazarat Buddha. A
greater mistake cannot be made.”
Maulavi Sahib listened to all with reverence and said,
“All that you say is absolutely right.”
