Occasionally if spend a lot of time with meditation we get hints and glimpses of the thin veil between this life and the reality of what is behind it. It is all a drama being played out from desire to manifest in what appears to be seeming substance.

I think there is substance, and that meaning and experience you extract from the play is uniquely yours.

I do not have any challenges with other peoples views till they affect mine. Yesterday I met a man who truly seemed to believe the earth is flat and when you get to the North Pole that’s it. You are not allowed to go further. He believes the Sun and Moon are not thousands and millions of miles away. It’s all a hoax. Well let him believe as he likes. The problem is when people see me differently than I am and accuse me of things I am not. They see substance where it is only perception. These people can be dangerous and I suppose we all have that characteristic to some extent. To this extent others extract meaning from the players in the action that is uniquely their own and believe what they extract. But it is only their imagination that creates their story. They can for instance, drive by you and call the cops because you are driving slow and they see you are drinking. When in reality they are driving way over the speed limit and you may be in the way to them. I know I have had it happen. Instead of stopping the speeder the cop stopped me.

The problems occur when other people find meaning in events that justifies their own meanness.

In India there is a well-known story exemplifying this fact: that some blind men were very anxious to see an elephant. So a kind man one day took them to see one. There, standing by its side, he said, "Now, here is the elephant, see what you can make of it." Each one tried to make out by touch what the elephant looked like, and afterwards when they met together they began to discuss its appearance. One said, "It looks like the big pillar of a palace," another said, "It looks like a fan." And so they differed and discussed amongst one another, then they quarreled so much as to come to a hand-to-hand fight. Each one said, "I have seen it, I know what it is; I have touched it." Then the man who took them to the elephant came and said, "You are every one of you right, but you have each seen only a part of the elephant."

So it is with the religions. A person says, "This religion is the one, this doctrine is the only one, this truth is the only truth possible." That shows a lack of knowledge of the ultimate truth. As soon as one comes to the realization of the depth of truth, one begins to discern that it is the same truth which the great ones have tried to express in words. They could not put it fully into words. They have done their best to help humanity to evolve and reach to a point at which it is able to understand what can never be explained in words.

   ~~~ "Supplementary Papers, Philosophy V", by Hazrat Inayat Khan (unpublished)


Somebody can be praised by one and hated by another, and ten people may all have a different idea of the same person, because each understands him according to his state of evolution. Each sees that person according to his own point of view, each looks at him through his own eyes, and therefore the same person is different to each being. In the mind of one the person is a sinner, in the mind of another he is a saint. The same person who is considered gentle and good by one is considered the opposite by another. If this can be so in connection with a living being, it is equally possible that various ideas of the deity should be formed in each heart, and that each soul should mold his own deity according to his own evolution and according to his way of idealizing and understanding. Therefore the deity of every heart is different and is as that person has imagined; but the God of every soul is one and the same, whatever people imagine. It is the same God that they all imagine, but their imaginations are different and it is the lack of understanding of this that has caused the differences in religion.
