The Sufi, by being in at-one-ment with the spiritual hierarchy, has considered that belief in Christ is belief in Moses, and in believing in Muhammed he believes in Christ, for one is the successor of the other. But not believing in the successor for the sake of the predecessor is to him a disregarding of the law of hierarchy for one's personal fancy, which neither pleases the predecessor nor satisfies the successor. No king would like it that for love of him his people should reject his successor.
