I am a scamp? It is as the Presence pleases. God will make the Presence a Lord, and give him a rich Mem-sahib as fair as a Peri to wife, and many strong sons, if he makes me his orderly. The Mercy of Heaven be upon the Sahib! Yes, I will only go to the bazar and bring my children to these so-palace-like quarters, and then the Presence is my Father and my Mother, and I, Afzal Khan, am his slave.
A bad character? Now without doubt an enemy has told this tale. Never was I a scamp. I am a man of clean heart, and all my words are true. They knew this when I was in the Police. They said: 'Afzal Khan is a true speaker in whose words men may trust. I am a Delhi Pathan, Sahib all Delhi Pathans are good men. You have seen Delhi? Yes, it is true that there be many scamps among the Delhi Pathans.
The gist of the latter part of the published document, as recalled by Sri Yukteswar, was as follows: "I, Afzal Khan, am writing these words as an act of penance and as a warning to those who seek the possession of miraculous powers. For years I have been misusing the wondrous abilities imparted to me through the grace of God and my master.
"I never saw Afzal after that day, but a few years later Babu came to my home to show me a newspaper account of the Mohammedan's public confession. From it I learned the facts I have just told you about Afzal's early initiation from a Hindu guru."
At the railway station he would manage to touch a roll of tickets. "These exploits created an indignant uproar; Bengali jewelers and ticket-sellers were succumbing to nervous breakdowns! The police who sought to arrest Afzal found themselves helpless; the FAKIR could remove incriminating evidence merely by saying: 'Hazrat, take this away."
You may be sure I locked the heirloom in my safe before rejoining the group here! "Babu's friends, witnesses of the comicotragedy of the ransom for a watch, were staring with resentment at Afzal. He now spoke placatingly. "'Please name any drink you want; Hazrat will produce it. "A number asked for milk, others for fruit juices. I was not too much shocked when the unnerved Babu requested whisky!
Sri Yukteswar rose from his seat and walked to the balcony of my room which overlooked the Ganges. I followed him, eager to hear more of the baffling Mohammedan Raffles. "This PANTHI house formerly belonged to a friend of mine. He became acquainted with Afzal and asked him here. My friend also invited about twenty neighbors, including myself.
He had acquired his extraordinary powers through a chance encounter with a Hindu yogi. "'Son, I am thirsty; fetch me some water. A dust-covered SANNYASI made this request of Afzal one day during his early boyhood in a small village of eastern Bengal. "'Master, I am a Mohammedan. How could you, a Hindu, accept a drink from my hands? "'Your truthfulness pleases me, my child.
But such astrally-produced objects are structurally evanescent; they cannot be long retained. Afzal still yearned for worldly wealth which, though more hardly earned, has a more dependable durability." I laughed. "It too sometimes vanishes most unaccountably!" "Afzal was not a man of God-realization," Master went on.
The complexity of your previous karma is such that you must use this life to reconcile your yogic accomplishments with the highest humanitarian goals. "After instructing the amazed boy in a complicated technique, the master vanished. "Afzal faithfully followed his yoga exercise for twenty years. His miraculous feats began to attract widespread attention.
