Dr. Mohamed Hafiz Syed, a Muslim, Professor of Persian and Urdu in the University of Allahabad, asked: “What is the purpose of this external manifestation?”
M.: This manifestation has induced your question.
D.: True. I am covered by . How to be free from it?
M.: Who is covered by ? Who wants to be free?
D.: Master, being asked “Who?”, I know that it is ignorant me, composed of the senses, mind and body. I tried this enquiry “Who?” after reading Paul Brunton’s book. Three or four times I was feeling elated and the elation lasted some time and faded away. How to be established in ‘I’? Please give me the clue and help me.
M.: That which appears anew must also disappear in due course.
D.: Please tell me the method of reaching the eternal Truth.
M.: You are That. Can you ever remain apart from the Self? To be yourself requires no effort since you are always That.
