I don't see any problem with this, as the jamaat would say the same thing; read the books of your elders, and elders here means your own deobandi elders. He speaks with respect of the book and Hadrat Shaikh rah, and only criticizes recent versions. I have been with jamaats that did their own "editing" of the book; if they were in talim, and the word 'sufi' came up, they would just 'pious man' if there were any arabs with them, and sometimes they would skip full passages of the text and commentary that had "sufi stories" in them.

I actually think thats a great bit of hikmah to do that. There is a reason that the taleem kitab of the Arab sathis is Riyadh us saliheen.
