HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN - - THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MYSTIC POWER AND MAGIC- - In Honor of Hejirat Day In Honor of Hejirat Day




Sangatha III, TASAWWUF, METAPHYSICS,
The Difference Between the Mystic Power and Magic
               (see Wednesday Coll. Int. August 10th, l926)
 


The difference is that the mystic inclination is to develop the consciousness, expanding it and helping it to reach high.  
Therefore the mystic is concerned with himself, with his own development and with the service of others.  

And magic is a desire to have power on another for one thing or another thing.  
And therefore those two things have no connection whatever.  

One is leading toward perfection and the other is leading to limitation. 
 One uplifts and the other throws one down.  

And I have not seen one person who has worked magic and had a good end.  
It never has happened, it never happens.
