With the answer of Hazrat Inayat Khan to these two questions, we conclude the series on Cosmic Language. The previous post is here, and the series begins here.

Question: I quite understand that inspiration comes from God, but would you kindly explain how one receives inspiration from a person on earth whom one does not know?

Answer: Inspiration comes through the mediumship of a living being in three forms: when you are in the presence of someone who is inspiring; when you are in the thoughts of someone who is inspiring; and when your heart is in a state of perfect tranquility and inspiration that is flowing through the heart of an inspirational genius comes into your heart. It is just like the wireless. Sometimes you connect it with a certain station from which you are to receive the music, and sometimes you do not connect it, but it remains a wireless machine. If anything passing through is not received, it is not heard, but the sound is there just the same. In the same way, one receives inspiration from these three different sources.

Question: When inspiration comes originally from the Divine Mind, must it always be vehiculed by someone who has passed on, or who is on earth?

Answer: There are different processes. It all depends upon how the heart of the person is focused on the Divine Spirit. There is a person whose heart is focused directly on the Divine Spirit, and there is another to whom the Divine Spirit is too remote. His heart is focused on a center, and this center is focused on the Divine Spirit from where it receives the message. So, it all comes from the Divine Spirit just the same.
