WHOEVER KNOWS THE MYSTERY OF VIBRATIONS INDEED
KNOWS ALL THINGS.
-- Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis:
As aspiration this may appear to be a nice saying or we may
appreciate it intuitively as truth. That is the first stage
of appreciation. That is only subjective, it has no
objective vitality.
One has no knowledge, one does not know it to be true
although one may firmly believe it. Nevertheless, if one
were to say to such a one, "Whoever knows the mystery of
vibrations does not know it or through it know God," how
would you disprove such a statement?
Suppose it were said, "God is above vibration, above all
vibrations and so long as we deal with vibrations we are not
contacting reality." A little meditation shows the need for
greater growth and understanding. It would be evident that
one could read a thousand aphorisms and have a billion
beliefs and this would not bring one any nearer the truth
except that it might put one in a proper receptive mood.
Then how is one to learn the mystery of vibrations? Mostly
through the breath, by watching the breath, but also by
watching the heart and learning through the heart's
awakening. As this is a practice and not a study, a deeper
explanation without application would not help much.
