Amen. About Spiritual Letter 131 - a "True Love Letter" from the heart, if you like, , from the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased". Amen Bawa. Here is Page 2 of 3 of an On-line Version of an E-mail sent to the Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List, providing a "Beautiful Review" of the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com) from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom. homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok? Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of My Children, who in truth is Now My dearest loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, Only if you again become "One with" God within you can you truly Start to avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, for "hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God within you", all of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate to God the True Disciple, as this child learned to do when Bawa was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, using Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the result of your current state, which in truth is what all of My Children Now truly deserve, which in truth is what all of My Children have truly earned for yourself Next, based on your current life in the world, all of which My Children mistakenly believe or expect to recieve Next, after they die to the flesh, as some illusory heaven on another "outside" of you. Bawa. But all of which will become an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you when you begin to realize what you have done with your life, with what God has truly given you, which is both Himself and what He has discarded, and rather than joining with Him to Again discard from Him what He discarded, but this time within you, you have become what He has discarded, that is, you have "separated yourself" from God. Bawa. For in truth hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God. Bawa. But instead of all this, if you like, Now you can again become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, but this time with you doing it using Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, but this time for eternity, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as the true "Gift of God" now for your age, and for your life, if you like, coming Now to all of My Children through the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased".

End of "Introduction" to Spiritual Letter 131 ============================================================== 1. List of "Outline Topics" - Plus an Explanation of each "Outline Topic", all of which were extracted by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) from the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearl OfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com) from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). A "List" and Explanation that you can also access On-line at any time by Now clicking HERE, or later by using the following URL: (www.ThePearlOfWisdomIOList.homestead.com) 01. The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like - which is the Brief Title that "We" have given to the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), which is a beautiful "Road Map" to True Success in Your Life, that is, by "You" joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of "You" and then within "You", if you like. And doing this Now, before you die to the flesh, because after you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of you is gone, all of this beautiful "Hearts Work" is done, and is no longer available to any of My Children, for then, "The House and Life that you have built within your heart is the one you will get", but this time for eternity, So Please Build Well, Please Build "Your Eternal Home and Life" Wisely My Dearest Loving Children, Please Build It With God, as this child has Now learned to do, while you still can. Amen. 2. What You Are Now Capable of Experiencing, Is Now You, If You Like - that is, is the "You" within the "you", is the "True Self" within the "false self", is the "Oneness of You" within the "separation of you", is the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", is the "Life of the Qutb" within the "life of the satan", if you like, for the Choice yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of which house and life you will experience for eternity within you, that is, either the "House and Life" within you as "One with" God within you, or the "house and life" within you as "separate from" God within you, 03. The Truth of You And of God Within You - that is, the truth of "Who you are", of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in your life, which is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, just waiting to let "True Man Happen" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God, within God within you, if you like 04. The Truth of Adam (peace be upon Him) Within You - if you like, which is God's Gift to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, as the "Palace of the soul", as the "House of wisdom", as the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Julani (may God be pleased with Him, and the Truth of the Qutb of God, which is the Action of God, within Adam (A.S.) within you, if you like, which is "God's Grace", the "Grace of the Dhat" of God, that is, as the "Grace of the Essence of God", all of which is Now hidden within the "dark room" or heart or mind of each of My Children, as Now "The Door" to God, as Now "The Way" to God, that is, as Now How the Creation of God is to pray to God, that is, "Behind Adam", and as Now How the Creation of God is to eventually return to God, from which they have all come, if you like, and if you do like, then, if they like 05. The Truth of Your Current State - is "you" as the "Enemy of the soul", all of which was caused by the "spit" and the "black magic" of satan within you, and all of which "Only God can Cure", that is, when you truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God "Cure Himself of you", to let God "Cure Himself" of your current state, all of which is God's Illness, all of which is what is "separating God from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and if you do, then "You" will be God's Cure, First on the "outside" of you for your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, and then within you for His Creation, that is, then "You" will become God's Cure, "You" will become His Understanding, First on the "outside" of you as the Understanding of His Creation, which is His Qutb, and then within you as His Understanding of Himself, which is His Nur. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. 06. Understanding The Truth of What Happened To Adam (A.S) - and the significance of what happened to Him, for all of My Children, and for all of the Creation of God within My Children, First, which is the Fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) from "God's Grace", and Second, which is the Recovery of Adam (peace be upon Him) through "God's Grace", with My Children Now having become Again the Fall of Adam (peace be upon Him), having become Again the Fall of Adam (A.S.) from "God's Grace". And the Only Cure for My Children is Again the Recovery of Adam (A.S.) from His Fall, Again the Recovery of Adam (A.S.) through "God's Grace", not through any personal effort on your part, not through any effort on your part as "separate from" Adam (A.S.), which in truth is your "separation" from each of your brothers and sisters, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and not as your "separation from" God's Grace, which is Now your "separation from" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. This is what must Now happen to all of My Children, if God is to be cured of "you" as "His Illness", that is, if "God is to be Cured" of what is Now "Separating God from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if "You" are to become "God's Cure", which is "His Understanding", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, First as His Understanding of His Creation, and then as His Understanding of Himself. For in truth this is the Only Cure for any of My Children, which is "God's Curing Himself" of "you", of "you" as "separate from" Him, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join Him in this Grand Endeavor Again, which in truth is "you as separate from" God leaving as "You as One With" God comes forward, so as they pass, Understanding Can Occur, because in truth Understanding Only Occurs Through Contrast, through the Contrast of "you leaving" and of "You coming forward", through the Contrast of the "child of darkness" leaving as the "Child of Light" comes forward. Amen. All of which in truth is Adam (peace be upon Him) Again Recovering From His Fall, but this time on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, of Adam (A.S.) Again Recovering From His Fall from "God's Grace", through "God's Grace, or at least for Adam (A.S.) to Truly Starting to, before the "outside" of you is gone. That is, if you will only Start to Let Adam (A.S.) Recover, in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you will only let Adam (A.S.) Start To Recover From His Fall from "God's Grace" through "God's Grace, that is, Now through "God's Grace for your age and for your life, which in truth is Now through Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which you must truly Start To Let God Do, before you die to the flesh, that is, before you die to the "outside" of you, before the "outside" of you is gone, and God can no longer do this "Hearts Work" within you, that is, So God can then do "Everything Else" necessary to truly make your life successful in your lifetime. Amen. 07. The Truth of What God Now Has To Do - if you will only let Him, if you will only join Him, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you will only Now join as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of Him, and then within Him, So God can "Cure Himself of you", that is, of "you" living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", by God revealing "You" living as "One with" God, as "One with" your brothers and sisters, and as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which is "Most Definitely True", if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, and certainly not the Choice of this child. So please Choose wisely, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. 08. The Truth of What Has Now Grown Within You - that is, within your "room" or heart or mind, which is the "Thousand and One Wells of Hell", all of which is Now your destruction, and the destruction of all of the Creation of God within you, rather than the "Crystal Heart", which is your salvation, if you like, and the salvation of all of the Creation of God within you, and within God within you, if you like, and if you do like, then if they like 09. Closing Request - Please join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, while you still can, Which Now for your age and for your life is "you" becoming "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, as much as you can, as often as your can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So God's Grace can Now truly flow in your life, allowing "you" as "separate from" to leave, as "You" as "One with" comes forward, allowing God's Understanding to occur, through this Contrast of "you" leaving, and of "You" coming forward, that is, the Contrast of "satan's child" leaving as "God's Child" comes forward, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That would be good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and then Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you. So Please Choose wisely My Dearest Loving Children, Please Choose God instead of "you", as this child has Now learned to do, with each breath, So God can then do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Amen. End of List of "Outline Topics" ============================================================== 2.

"Knowing Thee, dwelling within Thee When will I open my eyes and find Thee, O Lord of mine?" "Forgetting the Earth, Discarding the Damsel, When will my heart melt thinking of Thee, O Lord of mine?" End of The "Original Version" of the "Opening Invocation" From The Book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) ============================================================= 3. Longer Version of the "Opening Invocation" that is, of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com), from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" His Holiness Teaches Us: "Seeing within me the Triple Flame within Alif, Laam, Meem, When will my sorrow depart, O Lord of mine?" (When I see You within Me, O Son of Mine, When My Sorrow departs, O Son of Mine) "Knowing Thee, dwelling within Thee When will I open my eyes and find Thee, O Lord of mine?" (When I Know Thee and dwell within Thee, O Son of Mine, When I open my eyes and find Thee, O Son of Mine) "Forgetting the Earth, Discarding the Damsel, When will my heart melt thinking of Thee, O Lord of mine?"

Review of the "Opening Invocation" - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) - continued 4-2. The "Expanded Review" - of the "Opening Invocation", for "Outline Topic" 01 (Only), that is, with both the "Initial Review" and the "Expanded Review" for "Outline Topics" 01. Go to Page 03 for the "Expanded Review" for "Outline Topic" 02, along with the "Initial Review" for "Outline Topics" 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, and 09 for your convenience Text of "Expanded Review" - for "Outline Topic" 01 (Only), starting with a repeat of the "Initial Review" for "Outline Topics" 01 for your convenience 01. The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like Initial Review of Topic 01: Bawa. "The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like" which is the Short Title that "We" have given to the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com),to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Bawa. In order to highlight the True Significance of this "Opening Invocation", that is, as a beautiful "Road Map" to True Success in Our Life, that is, by "Us" joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of "Us" and then within "Us", to let God remove from "Us" everything that is "separating God" from God within "Us", So in the End all that is left is God, that is, all that is left is "You", that is, all that is left is the True Self, or "You", and God within "You", if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to join with God within you to use your life in this way, or not Bawa. All of which in truth is "You" accepting the "Truth of You", and the "Truth of God" within you, which is "You" letting "Truth Surrender To Truth", within God within you, which is "You" letting the "Seed of God" which is your soul germinate to this truth, all of which is "Your Oneness", all of which "Is You", if You Like, because the Choice is Yours, not God's, that is, because God has placed this Choice Now in Your Hand, Not in His Hand. So please Choose wisely, My Dearest Loving Children. Bawa. Please be a Wise Child. Don't be a fool. Don't continue to live the life of a fool which in truth is the current state of all of My Children, with "you" living in denial of "You", that is, with all of My Children Still Acting as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", a way in which all of My Children are Still Acting, but to your peril. Bawa. For in truth time is short, time is truly coming to an End, in your lifetime that is for sure. And what will you do then?. Where will you hide then? Something to think about a little, Yes? Amen. Ok? Expanded Review of Topic 01: Bawa. "We" have given this "Opening Invocation" the Short Title of "The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like", because this "Opening Invocation" by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), summarizes in a beautiful way the true relationship between Man and God, and between God and Man which is "Oneness", like the true relationship between the Apple Tree and its Fruit is "Oneness", which in truth is an Example on the "outside" of you to the "True Inside of You", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". Bawa. And even more importantly, an Example on the "outside" of you of the current state of each of My Children, both within you, and for a little while on the illusory "outside" of you, which is your current state of "separation from" your "True Self", all of which is like the state of the apple seed buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "Truth of Itself", the truth of itself which is "Its Own Oneness". Bawa. That is, with the apple seed living a life of selfishness buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "Truth of Itself", that is, before it awakens to "Its Own Oneness", and Then It Must Decide, that is, then it must decide to either accept or reject the "Truth of Itself", that is, it must decide to germinate or not to "Its Own Oneness", letting the earth reveal the apple tree hidden within it, as it has been hidden within the earth, and letting the apple tree reveal the apple fruit, and letting the apple fruit reveal the sweet taste within it, and letting the sweet taste within the apple fruit again reveal the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold. Bawa. For once the apple seed reaches maturity within the earth the "Truth Naturally Emerges From Within It", and Then It Must Decide, to either Live of Die, that is, to either Live to the Truth of Itself and Die to the Falsehood of Itself, that is, to decide to germinates, or not, that is, to germinate to the Truth hidden within itself, and in this way, and only in this way, to "die before death", that is, to die to the falsehood of Itself which is the apple seed living a selfish life, a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of itself, that is, a life of selfishness in the earth as if it is "separate from" the earth it is buried within, and as if it is "separate from" the apple tree hidden within itself, and as if it is "separate from" the apple fruits hidden within that apple tree, and as if it is "separate from" the sweet taste hidden within these apple fruits. Bawa. All of which in truth is the "Initial Relationship" of the apple seed to its true birth right, which is "separation from" it, that is, "separation from" its true birth right, that is, the apple seeds "Initial Relationship" to its true heritage is rejection, is denial, is a "turning away" from it, that is, before the apple seed comes to maturity within the earth, all of which is "separation from" its True Self, all of which is its "separation from" Its "Own Oneness", that is, all of which is its "separation from" the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that the apple seed came from the apple tree, to join as "Oneness with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, for like all people, "not all apple seeds germinate" to the truth hidden within them, some apple seeds reject the "Truth of Themselves", after they awaken to the "Truth of Themselves", and then continue to live a life of falsehood, continue to live a life of "separation from" the Truth, even though they know the truth, because they have truly Chosen to do so, that is, until they die, that is, until they rot in the earth, and are absorbed back into the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed. Bawa. Such is the Example of the apple seed, the earth, the apple tree, the apple fruits, and the sweet taste, and the 1000 apple seeds, on the "outside" of each of My Children, that God has provided, and the Example of the "Choice" to "let this happen or not", before you rot and die in the earth, before you take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", that God has provided for each of My Children, if you like. Bawa. That is, if you will truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which Now for your age and for your life is to join with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly hear and benefit from this Example, in your lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, that is, before you too rot and die in the earth, that is, before you rot and die in the desires and attachment of your mind and become subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", with you becoming a worm in hell with only one level of wisdom or consciousness, with you taking on an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, if you are not wise, if you do not wise up before it is too late, and learn how to "fall into the fire" while the "fire is still burning", that is, for you to "get it right" this time. Bawa. And in this way, with you becoming an Example of "How to do it" right, that is, of How to merge with God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And such is the Gift of the "Oneness" of the Apple Tree on the "outside" of you, and Now for your age and for your life, the Gift of the "Oneness" of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) also on the "outside" of you, both pointing to this same beautiful relationship within you, that is, the relationship between God and True Man within you, which is "Your Oneness", and the Story of this relationship, which in truth is "You", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a relationship and a Story and A New Way of Defining You, of defining "Who you are", that is Now Available to each of My Children. Bawa. That is, the relationship and Story of "Oneness" that is Now Available to each of My Children, as Now "Who you are", that is, as Now "You", that is, as Now in truth "Who you are", and "Where you are", and "What is happening" in your life, all of which in truth is Now the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, that is, buried within the Earth of God, within God within you, just waiting to germinate, if you like, in order to reveal the "Tree of God" and bear the "Fruit of God", and reveal the "Sweet Taste of God", and again reveal the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, like this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. That is, the relationship of "Oneness" that is Now Available within each of My Children, as Now "Who you are", that is, as Now "Who you are" within God within each of My Children, if you like, all of which is so perfectly expressed by this beautiful "Opening Invocation", especially in the "Expanded Version" of the "Opening Invocation", that is, putting forth in clear terms the truth that the relationship between Man and God, and between God and Man, is "Oneness", that in truth, Nothing Happens In Your Life, except in Partnership With God In Your Life, and that is for sure, but again, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, this Partnership With God In Your Life will only begin Again, when you put down your current partnership with "you", that is, with the "Enemy of the soul". Bawa. That is, your current relationship with satan, that is, as Now the "child of satan", that is, your current relationship with all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, and that Now fill your "room" or heart or mind, and that Now Rule over you, with God's Permission, as the 9 openings of your elemental body, that is, as your pleasurable senses, as the 6 armies fighting two by two within your heart, that is, as the visual world that you Now see on the illusory "outside" of you, but which in truth is all within you, that is, as the Ocean of Maya or Illusion within you. Bawa. And as your thoughts, as the "veil of thought" that was formed within you, by your parents, as their gift to you, at the moment of conception, and is Now the source of all that you Now do on the illusory "outside" of you, but which in truth are the Nafs Ammarah within you. [Note: Please see page 463 in the book, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", www.GoldenWords.homestead.com) by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) for a beautiful definition of the Nafs Ammarah, as follows: "Nafs or Nafs Ammarah (Arabic). The seven kinds of base desires, that is, desires meant to satisfy one's own pleasure and comforts. All thoughts are contained within the ammarah. Ammarah is like the mother while the nafs are like the children. Literally: Person, Spirit; inclination or desire which goads or incites toward evil". Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hand lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And While you are there, that is, while you are reading the beautiful definition about the Nafs Ammarah at the back of the beautiful book of wisdom, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", also please read about the other great "friend of satan" which is Maya, or illusion, and about the "only true cure" for these two "friends of satan" which Now live and have Now come to maturity within you, that is, about the "only true cure" for them which is God, First as the Qutb or Action of God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, First as the Qutb of God which gives the Form of truth to your soul, allowing the soul to rest in that form, and then as the Nur or Light of God which gives the Sound of God to the soul, allowing the soul to "Speak to God, and in this way to realize Allah. Bawa. That is, the "only true cure" for Maya which is the illusory world you Now see as the "outside" of you, and for the Nafs Ammarah which is your elemental thoughts of "separation and differences", from which in truth flow all of your actions in the world, is God, which is the Power and Action of God, that is, is the Quddus or Wilayat or Power or Miracle of God, and the Qutb or the Action or the Qualities of God that naturally flow out of that Power of God within you, if you like, that is, if you Intend as God intends, that is, if you "fall into the fire" while it is still burning in the world, becoming the fire. Bawa. All of which in truth is the Grace of His Dhat, and the Sifat of His Dhat, that is, the Grace of God, the Essence of God, and the Creation of God, all of which is the Sirr or Secret of God, the Dhat or the Nur or Light of God, and the Sifat or form of the earth world that you Now are experiencing, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance. Bawa. All of which is also, if you like, that is, if you learn to fall into the Sirr, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and before you die to the flesh, is also the Dhat or Essence of God, the Sirr or Secret of God, and the Sifat or Form of God, which is the Asma'ul Husna or the 99 Wilayats of Names or Powers or Qualities of God, that Naturally emerge out of the Effulgence or Power of God when God Again Starts to tell His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, in His Presence and with His Intention, that is, in the Light and Action of God, that is, with the intention that in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", that in the End, there is "Nothing Still Separation God From God". Bawa. That is, the "only true cure" for the Nafs Ammarah within you, is God within you, not "you" as "separate from" God on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the "only true cure" for who you Now think "you are", for all that you Now think defines you, that Now defines for you "who you are", all of which is what you Now think in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, is "separate from" you, but which in truth is "You", but which in truth is what truly defines you, as "One with", rather than as if you are"separate from", that is, rather than as if you are "separate from" God within you, rather than as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and rather than as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For in truth what currently defines all of My Children is satan, and the "friends of satan", that is, the Nafs Ammarah within you, as your throughts, and Maya, as the illusory "outside" of you, not God and the "Friends of God", that is, not the Power and Actions of God, not the Quddus and the Qutb of God. Bawa. For example, what current defines all of My Children are your thoughts and what you Now see on the illusory "outside" of you, but in truth your thoughts are really your seven base desires always inciting you to evil, and what you see on the "outside" of you is a dream, that is, your thoughts are really your selfish pursuit of your own pleasure and comfort, at the expense of everyone and of everything else, and the "outside" of you is really an illusion created by the 400 Trillion, Ten Thousand Spiritual Energies that Now Rule over you as the 9 Openings of your elemental body, with God's Permission. Bawa. That is, that Now Rule over you, with God's Permission, as the 6 Armies doing battle two by two within your "room" or heart or mind, that is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of your Nafs Ammarah and of your Maya, and in this way, the "only true cure" for the Nafs Ammarah which you Now think is "you", and for Maya which Now think is "your world" on the "outside" of "you", is God, is the Power and Action of God, because in truth God is "Your Only Friend", and satan is the sworn enemy of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us). Bawa. For in truth the Nafs Ammarah within you, and Maya on the illusory "outside" of you, are what satan uses to destroy you, that is, to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), if you will let him, that is, if you continue to join with him against your soul, that is, if you continue to let the "Enemy of your soul" define you, define for you "who you are", and "where you are" and "what is happening" in your life, which in truth is the current "you", all of which in truth is the "little you", or the "discarded you", or the "lower you", or the "you" as the "sifat or form of creation", or the "you of illusory form", that is, if you fail to use God to Stop him. Bawa. That is, if you fail to use the "Big You", or what is "Within God" within you, to Stop him, that is, if you fail to use the "Higher You", or the "You" as the "Sirr and the Dhat" of God, that is, if you fail to use the "You" as the "Power and Action and Form" of God to Stop him. Bawa. All of which in the Christian Tradition is Now "You" as Jesus (peace be upon Him), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, as Now "You" as the "Holy Trinity" of God, as Now "You" as the "The Father, the Sun, and the Holy Spirit", to Stop him, and all of which in the Islamic Tradition is Now "You" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now "You" as the "Triple Flame" of God, as Now "You" as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen", to Stop him. Bawa. For in truth "They Are All One", for as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "Before you do anything call "Me", call "Me" Jesus, call "Me" Murugan, call "Me" Nur Muhammad, call "Me" Qutb Muhaiyaddeen, or call "Me" Bawa Adam, for in truth "They Are All One", but call "Me". Bawa. For in truth Only God can stop satan, because in truth that is all that is within you, Only Two Choices in your life, not Three Choices, that is, either "God or satan", that is, either "God or hell", Not Three Choices, that is, not "God, you, and satan", not "God, heaven, and hell", as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe, but to your peril. Bawa. For in truth this is satan's whole life, to destroy Adam (peace be upon Him), which he did, a very, very long time ago, and Now to also destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), which is what he is Now doing, all the time. Bawa. All of which is Now his only focus, which is your destruction, and the Nafs Ammarah and Maya is what God placed within you to help satan accomplish his goal, that is, to also destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), which is what satan is Now doing within you, all the time. Bawa. This is "How God Now lets satan try to do it", that is, how God Now lets satan try to destroy you, that is, to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), that is, through the Nafs Ammarah and Maya that God placed within you, with God allowing satan to use these to convince each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), at each moment of their life, that "you exist" as "separate from", rather than that "Only God exists" as "One with" Bawa. This is "How God Now lets satan try to do it", that is, for your age and for your life, with God allowing satan to use these things (the Nafs Ammarah and Maya) to convince each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), at each moment of their life, that your current life of "separation and differerence" on the illusory "outside" of you, with you Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, is Now your true life, your true heritage, your true birthright, rather than "the true life", "the true heritage", and "the true birth right" given to the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) by God, which is "Oneness with God", and "Oneness with" Everything God is Now "One with" which is Everyone and Everything, all of which in truth is God's Story, and within that True Man's Story, all of which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". Bawa. That is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story which you have come here to tell, that is, a Story that you as the "Seed of God" have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, and with God within His Creation, to tell, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to tell this Story or not, that is, the Choice to let God Again tell and bring to Completion His Story, but this time within you, that is, the Choice to let God finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, the Story of "His Oneness", which in truth is "Your Story", the Story of "Your Oneness", but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of His Story, the Understanding of "Your Story", the Understanding of "His Oneness", of Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness" will never leave you again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what is truly "Happening" in your life, either "You" are being destroy by satan, that is, by "you", without you even knowing it, with satan destroying you moment by moment in your life, until nothing of the Original You is left and only everything of satan is left, which is Now "you" and "your" current life, or "You" join with God to destroy "you", to Again discard satan, but this time from you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. That is, to destroy the current "you", to destroy "your" current life, that is, to let God discard satan Again, which in truth is "your" current life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, before satan destroys you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which is something that satan prays to God for 70,000 times a day, that is, for your destruction, that is, for God's permission to destroy you, to destroy you as the "Child of God", and reveal you as the "child of satan", all of which he has Now successfully done, or at least is successfully doing, all the time, with each of My Children. Bawa. And God is always granting satan his request, that is, his request 70,000 times a day to destroy you, that is, to destroy each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him), as he destroyed Adam (peace be upon Him) earlier, that is, to destroy everything of God within you, leaving only what God has discarded from Himself Now within you, that is, within your "room" or heart or mind within you, all of which in truth is the current state of all of My Children, all of which is Now satan and his followers, all of which is Now satan and the "children of satan", all of which is Now satan and the "crop of satan", a crop which in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you have allow satan to grow in your "room" or heart or mind", and in this way, all of which is Now satan and the "house of satan" within you. Bawa. And in this way, with God telling satan each time that he asks to destroy the Children of God, "Yes, you have My Permission to try". Bawa. But with God also always warning satan each time that he asks that all his effort will ever bring him in trying to destroy God's Children is great embarasment, because, "Those who follow you will never follow Me, and those who follow Me will never follow you". Bawa. And such is the truth of each of My Children, the battle between God and satan that is Now being waged within the "room" or heart or mind of each of the Children of God, each moment of your life, which in your age and for your life is Now each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and Now on the "outside" of you, is Now the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like. Bawa. For Now in your age and for your life this is Now the "End Time" of this lengthy battle, which has been raging Now for 200 million years, all of which has absolutely Nothing To Do With "you", that is, has nothing to do with the "little you", or the "lower you", or the "you of separation and differences", that is, nothing to do with the illusory "you" that you are Now experiencing on the illusory "outside" of you, that you are Now experiencing as "who you are", as "where you are", and as "what is happening" in our life. Bawa. That is, that you are Now experiencing as what Now defines for you, "you" as "separate from", rather than "You" as "One with", which in truth is just your thoughts which are all within the Ammarah, and which in truth is just what you Now see, which is all Maya or illusion. Bawa. Because in truth this battle is between "God and satan", not between "God, you, and satan", and the only One who can be victorious in this battle is "God" or satan, not you, not "you" as "separate from", for in truth "you" as "separate from" Do Not Exist, for in truth the "you" of "You" is just a "follower of satan", is just a "child of satan", is just what satan creates, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to try and lead the Children of God astray, but only to his embarrassment, all of of which is what God has discarded from within Himself to become God within you. Bawa. And Realizing This, without the slightest doubt, that This Is How It Works, that This Is All That Is Ever Really Going On, Now "You" as "The Child of God" must Get God to Do It Again, that is, to Again Become God, by Again discarding satan and all of his followers from within Himself, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. For only then will "You" become victorious in your lifetime, as "The Child of God" becoming God Again, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind, for in truth everything else "you" think is victory is just drama, is just the drama of "I and you", is just the drama of "mine and yours", and in truth is just the "child of satan", who in truth "does not really exist", and in truth is just the "crop of satan" that he has now grown within you "room" or heart or mind, and in the End, satan will harvest "his crop" and claim it as "his property", with God's Permission, Not Because of God's Judgment, but rather because "you let satan" have "his way" with you. Bawa. That is, because "You Failed To Realize This, without the slightest doubt, that This Is How It Works, that This Is All That Is Ever Really Going On, that is, because You Failed To Accept "the true life", "the true heritage", "the true birth right" given to the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) by God, that is, because You Failed as "The Child of God" to Get God to Do It Again, that is, to Again Become God, by Again discarding satan and all of his followers from within Himself, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. That is, because you did not join in partnership with God within you to let God destroy the "crop of satan" that has Now filled your "room" or heart or mind within you, and grow God's Crop within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to destroy you as "separate from" God within you, and to reveal You as "One with" God within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to "destroy you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and "Reveal God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to grow His Crop within you, so in the End, God could harvest you as "His Crop" and claim you as "His Property", and take You with Him to an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you. Bawa. Instead, you have let satan grow his crop in your heart, and even worse, you even joined in partnership with satan within you to grow his crop within your "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is your current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, all of which in truth is Now your selfish life, your life of sin, your self centered life on the illusory "outside" of you, with you continuing to live the dream, that is, the dream of Maya, that is, the dream of the illusory visual world on the "outside" of you, and dream of the Nafs Ammarah, that is, the dream of your actions flowing out of your thoughts, that is, with you continuing to live on the "outside" of you as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Bawa. But all is Not Lost, My Dearest Loving Brothers and Sisters, because you can still turn it all around, but please Start Now, before in truth All Is Lost, and you can no longer Turn It All Around, please join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which Now for your age and for your life is "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brothers Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth Then God will Do Everything Else, to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, to let God destroy "you" and reveal "You", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to let God destroy your current illusory life of "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you and reveal your True Next Life of "Oneness with" within you, Now before it is too late to make this transition in your lifetime, before you die to the flesh, and before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children. Bawa. That is, before "The Beast" harvests you as "his crop" and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission, and then drags you yelling and screaming off to hell within you, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. That is, with "The Beast" dragging you off to hell within you after "The Beast" is blinded and sent to hell by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, blinded by the "House of the soul", the "Palace of the soul", the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, by the "House of Light" Now for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. All of which Now for your age and for your life is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to accept "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as Now as such for your age and for your life, that is, as Now the "Door", as Now the "Way", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, as Now the "Presence of God", as Now the "Word of God", that is, as Now the "Word of God made flesh" for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you Bawa. For in truth this is the only hell within you, which is "separation from" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is "separation from" the truth and reality of your own life, of your true life which is your soul, which is the 6th life within you, which is Now animating hell within you, all of which is your current illusory life, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which is "Your Oneness", a "Oneness" which God will grow and harvest from your "room" or heart or mind in the End, if you will only let Him, if you will only join Him, if you will only let Him liberate your soul from hell within you, ending the life of hell within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And in this way, to let God, to join with God within you, as the Qutb or Action of God within God within you, as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul, to use your liberated soul to Start to animate the re-opened world of souls or heaven within you. Bawa. And then after the soul joined as "One with" the Qutb, with the Action of God, with the grace of the Dhat, as the wisdom that explains the truth of God, as the 6th level of wisdom, then the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul, as the Light Life, finds and joins with the Nur, with the Light of God, and takes on the Resplendence and Sound of the Nur, with the Light of your wisdom, that is, with the Plenitude of God, as the 7th level of wisdom, allowing the soul to Realize Allah. Bawa. And in this way, your life has Now become truly successful in your lifetime, because you have Realize Yourself, that is, you have allow "Your Source" to reveal "The Source" for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, that is, you have allow God to use your soul to Start to animate God within you, as the Resonance of the Hu, as the light of firdaus or the 8th heaven, which is the Kingdom of God, which in the End, which is Now, is the Hereafter Here and Now, if you like, and in this way, if you are wise, if you truly wise up before it is too late, to let God, in the End, take you willingly, freely, happily, with Him to an eternal life within you, as "His Oneness" joined as "One with" Your Oneness, as True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", and in this way, with "You" sharing the Understanding that you have become, that is, the Understanding of God, of heaven, and of hell, that is, the Understanding of the Mubarakat or Rahmat of Allah, as the Understanding of the Wealth of the Three Worlds within God within you. Bawa. And this is the truth of your life, this is why you were born, to join with God within to let this happen Again, to let God Again tell and bring to Completion His Story, but this time within you, not to accomplish any of the current silliness that you are Now doing with your life, all of which is just drama, the drama of the lower self, the drama of the "child of satan", the drama of you living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", that is a life of sin, of selfishness, and of self focus, which in truth is an Express Train to hell within you, if you are not careful, if you don't Start to use what God has Now given you, which is this "Final Gift" of God for your age and for your life, which is the gift of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Please don't let this last opportunity pass you by, as you let all previous opportunities pass you by. Bawa. Please Start to do this My Dearest Loving Children, please Start to be My Wise Children, So in the End, "We" can sit in the Hereafter as "One", and in this way, truly give Salams, as "We" did in the World of souls, and as "We" are still waiting for you to do here, in this earth world, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth this is the Gift of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), which is "My True Salams", that is, "My Salam of Oneness", to each of My Children, if you will only Start to accept it as such. Please try to do this, please step out in this direction in your life, and "We" will do Everything Else necessary to "Make it So" in your life, that is, to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Is this really so much to ask of you, My Dearest Loving Children. Please try. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And if you do this, that is, if you do truly Start to join as "One with" the Qutb or Action of God, in this way, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to overcome these "friends of satan", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to overcome the Nafs Ammarah and Maya, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, then the Qutb will liberate your soul, take it to the Nur, letting it join with the Nur and in this way realize Allah, by First awakening all of the truths of God that have been destroyed and buried within the ocean of illusion that Now fills your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. And then by using this awakened truth of God to catch the soul within you and give it a form, to give it the form of truth known as Ahmad, allowing the soul to then Start to animate the world of souls or heaven within you, that is, allowing Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to create the "House of wisdom", the "Place of the soul", the "House of Light", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to created the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be please with Him, and with Us). Bawa. And in this way, with "You" letting God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, liberate your soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him) from His Cross, from the Cross of this 8 span body, First cutting away two spans, and then, there are six, that is, "Within this eight-span house, half a span is your sorrow, half a span is your torpor, and one span is the fire of hell", which in truth are the current three sections of your elemental body, all below the neck, that is, first below the waist or false creation which is your sorrow, second, as your stomach which is the fire of hell, which is false destruction, and third, as your chest which is false life or your torpor. Bawa Quotation - "These are some of the things I have learned through experience. My Love You. Think about this. May Allah help you. Amen." Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, Beginning of Bawa Quotation From the book: "Shaikh and Disciple", "The Introduction" to the book, Pages 6 and 7, By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) If you can understand and discard these two spans (of your eight-span body), then you are left with six. Once you have understood all that is within the remaining six spans of your body, you can become a man with six levels of wisdom, capable of analyzing and discovering the secrets of the eighteen thousand universes. Then you will understand that one handful of earth which is your heart. But, "If you do not reach this understanding, you could become a worm in hell with only one level of wisdom. Or you could become a jinn, a fairy, a ghost or a demon. You will become a ruhani, an elemental spirit." "However, if you understand yourself, then you can become a human being. You can become My Messenger, you can become My Light, you can merge with Me and We can live together" These were His words (that is, the words of Bawa's Guru)" We have to discover what is hidden within this body. This is what we must learn from a wise man of purity. We must learn this from a pure father who has a pure heart. To do this, your unity and faith must be strong. Children, you must have purity of heart to learn from the purity of the father. The secret of God, our Father who is purity, must be learned with pure love, pure faith, pure compassion, pure unity, and a pure life. This is the only way we can learn and understand that purity, that meditation, that prayer, and that learning. If each one of you establishes and understands this state within, then the connection between you and your Father can easily be established. You can conduct your lives with ease and understand all you need to know. You can understand the life in which wisdom, good deeds, our Father, and the Children live together. When love, wisdom, and unity are all together, that is the heaven of gnanam. The Children of the pure Father will live in the paradise of gnanam. That is firdaus, our Father's pure kingdom. We will be given the radiant kingdom of our Father as our prize. You must understand this pure place. When you can establish this within yourself and demonstrate proof of its existence, then your Father's kingdom of wisdom, love, compassion, peace, and iman becomes yours. These are some of the things I have learned through experience. My love you. Think about this. May Allah help you. Amin. End of Bawa Quotation From the book: "Shaikh and Disciple", "The Introduction" to the book, Pages 6 and 7, By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) [Note: To read the full description of this process, from the perspective of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, please Click HERE, that is, to read the full "Introduction" to the book, "Shaikh and Disciple", please Click HERE, that is, to read more about this process of joining in partnership with God, that is, with your Guru, and with God within your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become your Guru, allowing your Guru to reach God within your Guru within you, allowing God to then become the True Disciple within you, and in this way, and only in this way, establishing the Triple Flame of God within you, when in truth Two Become One, within you, that is, when You fall into the "Fire of God" while it is still burning on the "outside" of you, please Click HERE. Once there Go To the Table of Contents, and then Click on the title "Introduction" at the Top of the Table of Contents. That is, to read more about the process of joining with God to liberate the soul, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as your dearest loving Father, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) did when He First met His Guru or Shaikh, First on the "outside" of himself and then within himself, that is, to read more about the process of liberating your soul from "you", in order to reveal "You", that is, to read more about the process of liberating your soul from "you" as the 8-span body on the illusory "outside" of you, with the beauty or face of satan, revealing "You" as the 6 span body of Light within you, with the Beauty or Face of God, that is, to read more about How to reveal God, First on the "outside" of you as the Qutb or Action of God and then within you as the Nur or Light of God, that is, First as the 6th level of wisdom on the "outside" of you, and then as the 7th level of wisdom within you, that is, to read more about the process of joining with God to reveal the body within the body, which is the Qalb, or "Crystal Heart" within the cage of your current elemental body which Now contains the "Thousand And One Wells of Hell". All of which is beautifully described by His Holiness in the "Introduction" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "Shaikh and Disciple" (www.ShaikhAndDisciple.homestead.com), with the Excerpt from this "Introduction" reproduced above for your convenience, starting on page 6 in this book, that is, in this beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, Please realize this without the slightest doubt, that you have Yet To Do This Work, this "Hearts Work", that is, you have yet to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this is why "We" left the world when "We" did, so "We" could give you the opportunity to do this "Hearts Work", in your lifetime, that is, So "We" could give you "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", as Now your opportunity to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to catch your soul with the "Body of Truth" or Qalb or "Crystal Heart", So your soul can rest in that for a while, and then be taken to the Nur, So your soul can realize Allah. Bawa. That is, the opportunity for you joined as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you to let God "Cure Himself of you" within you, that is, to let Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you catch your soul with the "Body of Truth", with the "Body of Truth" created by the awakened wisdom or Qutb or Action of God within you, that is, created from the awakened truth of God within you, allowing the Secret life of your soul within you to End, all of which is your current impure birth, and your current illusory life on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is based on the "very real but false" lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, that have Now filled your "room" or heart or mind, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that Now Rule over you as the 9 Openings of your elemental body, as the 6 Armies fighting two by two within your heart, all with God's Permission, that is, until "You See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of you", that is, to Cure Himself of your current life of impurity within you, that is, to let the Secret Life of Your Soul come to an End. Bawa. That is, for "you" to "Stop Fighting With Your Shaikh for your soul", which in truth is your current state, which in truth is the true consequences of your current desire to continue living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, so "you can sin", that is, so you can continue to live a selfish life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as "separate from", that is, so you can continue to live a selfish life which requires that the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies take form and speak, 5 times a day, day in and day out, all of which requires that Jesus (peace be upon Him) stay crucified on His Cross with the "5 nails" of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin. Bawa. All of which is the true significance and value of the Islamic 5 times of prayer, which is to Start to deal with this Secret condition of your soul, that is, a condition which in truth is Stopping God from finishing His telling of His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, but this time within you, that is, a condition that is Stopping all of the Creation of God, within God within you, from coming to Judgment and from being offered Salvation, within God within you, that is, a condition that is Stopping all of the Creation of God, within God within you, from Standing Again directly in "God's Presence", and Again directly hearing "God Speak", because in truth you are currently forcing all of the Creation of God, both within you, and within God within you, to stand in "your presence" as "separate from" God, and hear your "exhortations" or speech as "separate from" God. Such is the true consequences of your current state and life of darkness and evil within you, and of your current life of selfishness and sin on the "outside" of you, which is to Stop God within you, So you can continue to have the illusion of "moving forward" on the "outside" of you. What a waste of a "Perfectly Good Life". Bawa. Please realize this truth of your current state and of your current life, My Dearest Loving Children, without the slightest doubt, and Start to act accordingly, that is, join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to deal with the consequences of your current state and life, which by its very existence is keeping your soul in its current Secret State, that is keeping your soul secretly working for satan, that is keeping your soul formless and soundless, that is keeping your soul secretly animating the lives of darkness and evil within you, and for a little while is keeping your soul secretly animating your selfish life of sin on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. That is, join with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to get Jesus (peace be upon Him) off of His Cross, to Start to liberate your soul from its current Secret State, from its current state of having no form, and having no sound, from its current state of being literally crucified on your elemental body, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin, from its current secret state of animating hell within you, that is, of animating both the lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance, which in truth is the life of the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within you, and animating your daily life of sin, of selfishness, of "separation and differences", of "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. That is, Please take advantage of this "Last Opportunity" to truly join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to Stop your soul from animating hell within your "room" or heart or mind within you, as it is currently doing, and instead allow your soul to be awakened to its original purity, allow Jesus (peace be upon Him) to be taken off of His Cross, allow your wisdom to pull out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of your and sin, that is, join the awakened Qutb or Action of God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to do this "Hearts Work" while you still can, and in this way, and only in this way, returning your liberated soul to the original state of purity, that in truth was the state of your soul when it first came into existence in awwal, at the beginning of creation. Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "The only thing within you that can return to God is what came from God, and that is your soul, with your soul coming here from God "without an understanding of itself", and with your soul leaving here and returning to God "with an understanding of itself", if you like, that is, if you will let it, that is, if you will only join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let this happen, First on the "outside" of you and then within you." Bawa. For in truth everything else within you, other than your soul, has grown here, that is, did not come from God and cannot return to God, but rather has grown here in this earth world, and in truth has No Interest in returning to God, and can die either Now or later, for that is its Choice, that is, when you let what has grown within you Again Stand in the "Presence of God", rather than in "your presence" as "separate from" God, as you are Now making everything within you Now do, that is, for Everything within you to decide Now, in the "Presence of God", to either gradually rot in the earth, die in the earth, and be reborn, or to die Now in the "Presence of God", that is, to die Now here in this earth world, in order to support what God sent the soul here to do, that is, to support what God sent the soul here to accomplish, which is to come to this temporary "School of Contrast" in this earth world within you so understanding can occur. Bawa. That is, to Understand who you "Already Is", which is "Of God", which is of the "Oneness of God", that is, for Everything within you to give up their form or Sifat, and become the Sirr, and then to become the Dhat, that is, to become the Essence of Creation, or the Understanding of Creation, which is the Sirr or the Qutb, and then the Essence of God, which is the Understanding of God, which is the Dhat or the Nur Muhammad , and then the Manifestation of God, or Allah Muhammad, as the "Grace in the Form of Light", all of which in truth is the Understanding of God traveling back to God, So God can answer His Question of God, in Anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, in the time before Aathi, before the Beginningless Beginning, when at the Guidance of the Qutb of God, that is, of the Action of God that emerged out of the Quddus of God, of the Power of God, God in ignorance of Himself asked that Power of God, "Who am I?", causing God to Again tell His Story, but this time within you, if you like. Bawa. With the soul then becoming this Story, this Story of God, but this time within you, manifesting within you all that is necessary to answer this question, but this time within you, that is, manifesting within you all that is necessary to Tell and Bring to Completion God's Story, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, if you like, and such is the Only True Choice in your life, to fall into God's Story or not, as "Who you are", and as "Where you are", and as "What is happening" in you life, not any of the many Choices that you Now think you are making, but which in truth are just a reflection of the "drama of your life", the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", a drama that you can only win if you Stop playing, and instead Get God To Play, a drama that God Ends by telling and bringing to Completion His Story, but this time within you, and in this way, with God ending for good all of the drama of your life, all of which in truth is what is Now in truth "separating you" from God, not drawing you nearer and nearer to God, as My Children still mistakenly believe, but to your peril. Bawa. For example, like your illusory Choices about becoming a Muslim, or a Christian, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, or a Jew, or Now for your age and for your life, about becoming a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), or not, or about who you marry, and where you live, and what political party you belong to, when in truth your only Choice is to "Stop" working for wages to get into heaven, and instead Join in Partnership with God within you, to let God Again tell His Story, and Bring it to Completion, but this time within You, with You and Everything within you then becoming "God's Understanding of God", So God can Answer His Question, His Question, "Who am I?, that is, with You and Everything within you. Bawa. That is, with You and Everything within you becoming the Understanding that is Returning to God, by First becoming the "Understanding of Creation", which in truth is the Essence of Creation, that is, when you join as "One with" God on the "outside" of you to transcend the illusory "outside" of you, that is, by becoming the kind of True Understanding which can only occur in this Earth World, that is, in this "School of Contrast", which in truth is all within you, which in truth is "Who You Are" within you, that is, when you truly join in partnership with God within you to truly give up "Who you Now are" on the "outside" of you, all of which is the Understanding of the manifestation of Creation, which is what you Now see, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, in order to Understand what is "separating you" from God, an Understanding which can only occurs through Contrast", through the Contrast of "Who You Are" within you, which is the Qutb of God, the Action of God, which is the Child of Light within you, and "Who you Now are" on the illusory "outside" of you, which is "you" and "your actions", which is the "child of darkness", or the "child of satan, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And Second by becoming the Understanding God, which in truth is the Essence of God, which in truth is the Essence of God, that is, when the liberated soul joined as "One with" the awakened wisdom, which is the Qutb or Action of God within you, finds and becomes "One with" the Nur within the Body of Truth or Qalb, that is, within the "Crystal Heart", or "Palace of the soul", or "House of wisdom", or house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), allowing the Nur to give up its Resplendence and Sound to the soul, allowing the soul with that sound to converse with Allah, and "Realize Allah", and in this way, and only in this way, becoming the "Resonance of Allah", that is, the state of Allah Muhammad when "Whatever is manifested from Allah then returns to Allah and remains as Allah Himself", as then the Manifestation of Allah from the Essence of Allah, as My Children are Now the Manifestation of Creation from the Essence of Creation which is Now within your "room" or heart or mind, that is, "When the Nur Muhammad merges with Allah, becoming God's Complete State, becoming the Beauty of Allah" Bawa. And in this way, if you like, with My Children truly doing this work, this "Hearts work" by falling into the "Fire of God" that is still burning on the "outside" of you, which is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, So the soul can First understand "What is separating the soul from God", and join take up a temporary residence in the Qalb, in the "Crystal heart" within your current "room" or heart or mind, and Second, So the soul can Understand God, and realize Allah. Bawa. And what is Now "separating you" from God is "you", that is all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, and for a little while is "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is what Now defines you, defines you as "separate from" God, all of which is the Manifestation of the Creation of God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is Now both the "outside" and the "inside" of you, that is, the inside of your "room" or heart or mind, all of which God manifested from your karma, that is, from the inherited qualities formed within you at the time of conception, all of which in truth are "the qualities of the essences of the five elements, that is, the qualities of the mind and desire" Now within you, all of which is the "story of creation", all of which is the story your parents wrote on their bed, at the time of conception, all of which is Now "your story", a story which in truth is Now leading you on an "Express Train" to hell, that is, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late and join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. [Note: For more on this wisdom point, that is, about the current inside and "outside" of you, which is "your bank" and within that "your prayer" of "separation and differences", and what could Next become the "Inside" of you, if you like, which is "God's Bank", and within that "God's Prayer" of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity", if you like, please click HERE to read Chapter 3, "The World Within and Without"( (www.Spiritual Book008Chap03.homestead.com) in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.Spiritual Book008.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. All of which God then took from your parents, after your parents rolled around like snakes on a bed and conceived this "story of creation", with God then printing it within you as "their story", with God then putting a cover on, as your 5 elemental body, or as your "shirt" for the soul, and with God then animating "their story" with your soul, and finally with God then handing it to you, in the womb, as the "School of Contrast" for the soul, if you are wise, or as "your stage of drama, if you are not wise. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice of how you treat what God has Now handed you, that is, as either the vehicle for the liberation of the soul, and its journey back to God, First as the Understanding of Creation, and then as the Understanding of God, or as your "Express Train to hell", that is, as either an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, or as an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is most certainly your, not God's Choice, and certainly not the Choice of this child. Bawa. All of which in truth is the illusory world that My Children Now see, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which the essence of which My Children Now have within them, as the qualities of the essences of the five elements, as the qualities of mind and desire, that is, that My Children Now have within them, that is, within their "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth on the "outside" of My Children is the sifat or form of Creation. Bawa. And this is what you have come here to Understand, which is the Understanding of what is "separating you" from God, Not what you are Now trying to Understand, which is "your understanding" of God, but this is not Now the appropriate Understanding for My Children, but rather it is to truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Understand what is Now "separating you" from God, which in truth is Now "you", which in truth is Now "your presence" as "separate from" God's Presence, and is Now "your intention" as "separate from" God's Intention, and is Now "your story" as "separate from" God's Story, and which in truth is Now "your understanding of God" that is "separate from" God's Understanding of God. Bawa. And this is the First Step of your soul's journey, that is, of your soul's journey of "Understanding God", that is, by joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your liberated soul join as "One with" your awakened wisdom to First become this Understanding, that is, to let your liberated soul joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom to First become the Understanding of "What is separating You" from God. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, having Understood it, to Transcend it, that is, having Understood the Manifestation of Creation to transcend the Manifestation of Creation by becoming the Understanding of Creation, that is, by becoming the Essence within the Essence of Creation, that is, by joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul become the Qutb or Action of God within you, which is the Sirr or Secret of Creation, which is the Grace of the Dhat, or the Grace of the Essence of God, all occurring within God within you, that is, within your innermost heart or Qalb, if you like, that is, within the "Crystal Heart", the "Body of Truth", the four letter form of Ahmad, or of "Alif, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", within you. Bawa. That is, by you Now joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul with the "Presence and Word" of God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Now the life and teaching of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased". Amen. Ok? Bawa. That is, So the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul within you can then do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", all of which in truth is Now "you", that is, to do battle with "you Now as separate from" God, in order to truly liberate your soul from "your parents story", which has Now become "your story", that is, by letting Jesus (peace be upon Him) off of His Cross, which is Now your soul as the Secret 6th life within you, Again animating "your parents" story, but this time within you, that is, by you joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your awakened wisdom pull out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin, that is, of your desire to continue living your current life, that is, a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. That is, for you to Now joining in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to catch your soul with the "Body of Truth" created by the Qutb of God within you, if you like, that is, to catch your soul which is Now a Secret Life within you, with no form or sound, which is Now roaming around like breath, or smoke or vapor within you, animating or giving life to "your parents" story within you, that is, giving life to the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within you, for their benefit and certainly not for your benefit, all of which Naturally Happens within you when you truly join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. That is, in order to let the Qutb or Action of God within you, Create the Qalb or "Body of Truth", as a temporary resting place for your soul, in this way, and only in this way, giving form to your soul, all of which becomes your innermost heart within your current "room" or heart or mind, and to let the Qutb of God awaken "God's Belief in God" within you, which is your Iman or certitude of faith in God within you, and explain to your hayat or soul, to your liberated soul, about the state of purity it had in the world of souls, all of which is a Service which the Qutb of God is just waiting to perform within you, if you like, if you will only ask, if you will only "Step Back" So He can "Step Forward" within you, that is, if you will only ask Him with a melting heart, that is, a Service that the Qutb of God is just waiting to perform within you, that is, within God within you, within "God's Bank" within you, a Bank of purity which God has lovingly and ever so patiently placed within you, a very, very long time ago, a place within you which is no bigger than an atom, a place within you which is How God Has Already Saved You, if you like, if you will only claim this "Bank" and all that is "Within it", as Now Your Wealth, as Now what truly defines you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with you Now joining with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to allow the Qutb of God within God within you to liberate your soul life and begin to teach it "What it does not know", First giving your 6th life, your soul life within you, the Understanding of "What is separating you" from God within you, allowing your soul life within you to literally transcend the form or Safat of Creation within you by becoming "One with" the Sirr or the Secret of God's Creation within you, that is, on its way to becoming "One with" the Dhat or Essence of God within God within you, and on its way to becoming the "Resonance of the Hu", having Realized Allah. Bawa. All of which is the Understanding of God within the Understanding of the Creation of God within the Creation of God, or is the Dhat within the Sirr within the Sifat, that is, as How God reveals True Man within God within you, So True Man within God within you can then reveal God within True Man, allowing God to Finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story Again, but this time within you, if you like, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which is all just waiting within God's Bank within you, if you like, that is, just waiting for you to claim "God's Bank", and within "God's Bank", for you to claim "True Prayer", that is, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", as your "True Birthright", as your "True Heritage", as the "True Destiny of your soul, allowing your soul to return to God, from which it has come, but this time with an Understanding of "Its Oneness", so it will never leave it again, and this time within you, if you like. Bawa. And in this way, allowing "You" to become "One with" the Sirr or Secret of Creation, which is the Essence within the Essence of Creation, or the Understanding of Creation, which is the Qutb or Action of God, which is your 6th level of wisdom, the wisdom which explains the Truth of God, and then to become "One with" the Dhat or the Essence of God, which is the Understanding of God, which is the Nur or Light of your wisdom, the Light of God, which is your 7th level of wisdom, and then to become "One with" Allah, that is, allowing your soul to then "Realize Allah", to become the Resonance of the Hu, transforming the state of Nur Muhammad into the State of Allah Muhammad, when the "Alif becomes the pillar of the sequin of the mim, and the Lam disappears within the sequin". Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, with the soul joining with God, First on the "outside" of itself and then within itself, First at the 6th level of wisdom, in order to "separate from" itself everything that is Now "separating your soul" from God, and then in the Form of Light, that is, in the form of the Qalb or "Crystal Heart", in the form of the "Palace of the soul", of the "House of wisdom", to again join with God, but this time at the 7th level of wisdom, in order to "Speak to Allah", and through this Communion with Allah, to then "Realize Allah", that is, to Again become "One with" Allah, but this time with an Understanding of Allah, so "Its Oneness" will never leave it again, all for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God, allowing the Creation of God to do the same, if they like, that is to fall back again into the Ocean of God's Grace, from which they have all come, having completed their duty, existing again as the Ocean, no longer existing as the "Rain of God", as "separate from" the ocean. Bawa. And in this way, the soul Now in the Form of Light within you goes off to the Next of God's Schools within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, where God then teaches your soul, or God about God, that is, the soul Now within the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, as Now within the Ship of The Qutb, as Now within the 11 Weapons of the Qutb, the soul returns to God, from which it has come, that is, the soul goes off to the Next of God's Schools within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, which is the "Resonance of the Hu" within the Secret Kingdom of God, within God within you, all of which is firdaus or the 8th heaven of God, or the Kingdom of God, within God within you, all of which is the Hereafter, Here and Now within You, if you like, all of which in truth is Then Your "Room" or Heart or Mind within You, if you like, where God Starts teaching God about God", if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is Yours, not God's, for God has already Made His Choice, and God has already Chosen "Oneness with You", and that is why you are Now alive within Him, and Now You too must Choose, So God can Now Also Be Alive within you, and in this way, their are only Two Choices, not Three Choices, as My Children still Mistakenly believe, but to their peril, that is, the Choice of either "God or hell", that is, the Choice of either "God or satan", not the Choice of "God, heaven, or hell", that is, not the Choice of "God, you, or satan", for in truth the idea of a heaven as "separate from" God, and the idea of "you" as "separate from" God in truth is the depths of hell, all of which in truth is satan. Bawa. Please know this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, and please Start to act accordingly, that is, Please Start to live your life as Now "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That would be good. Good for you. Good for "Us". Good for this child. Good for your brothers and sisters. And Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, allowing your soul to then Start to animate the re-opened world of souls, or heaven within you, and in this way, transforming your life or soul and your "room" or heart or mind into the state of Iman-Islam, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, into the State of the spotlessly pure heart which contains Allah's Holy Qur'an, His divine Radiance, His divine wisdom, His truth, His prophets, His angels, and His laws, allowing the Nur to then join with the soul, giving the soul its Resplendence and Sound, and with that Sound allowing the soul to Realize Allah, as the Resonance of Allah, that is, as the "Resonance of the Hu", as the Light of Firdaus or of the 8th heaven or of the Hereafter, which in truth is Now Here and Now, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "To progress on this path of God, you must join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to close down the world of hell, the world of jinns, and the world of fairies, to re-open the world of soul, and then to open the Kingdom of God", in your lifetime, or at least to truly Start to do this, in partnership with God, before you die to the flesh." "And before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children, and in the process harvest you as "his crop", and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission, that is, if you are not wise, that is, if you have not truly wised up before this happens, that is, if you have not truly fallen into the fire of God while it is still burning in the world, so only the fire remains, that is, so satan no longer has access to you." Bawa. My Dearest Loving Children, you can read a beautiful definition of the "friends of satan" and of the "Friends of God", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh" (www.GoldenWords.homestead.com), that is, a beautiful definition of the "friends of satan" which is of Maya or illusion on page 462 and of the Nafs Ammarah or the seven base desires on page 463, and a beautiful definition of the "Friends of God", that is, of the Qutb or the Action of God on paged 464 & 465, and of Iman or "Absolute faith, certitude, and determination that God alone exists; the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One".. Bawa. And of Iman-Islam or the state of the spotlessly pure heart of man, that is, when the "room" or heart or mind of any of My Children has been transforming by God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which Now for your age and for your life is Now the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you like, transforming your "hard rocky heart", or your "sinful mind and desire", or your current "room of hell", into the Qalb, or "Crystal Heart" or house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), with the last two definitions appearing on page 459 in the same book, all of which "We" have reproduced below for your convenience. Amen. Anbu. Beginning of Definitions Of The "Friends of satan" And Of The "Friends of God", that is, Of Maya, of the Nafs Ammarah, of the Qutb, of Iman, and of Iman-Islam All From the book, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", On Pages 459, 462, 463, 464, and 465. By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) The "Friends of Satan" - which is "Maya" and is the "Nafs Ammarah", which in truth is how God lets satan try to destroy the Children of Adam (may God be pleased with Us), which for your age and life in truth is Now the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), both within you, and within God within Him, and which in truth is Now the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), on the "outside" of you, at least for a little while, at least till this "fire of God" also goes out on the "outside" of you. And with God telling satan each time satan is given permission by God to try, that is, to try to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him), with God telling satan each time, that "Those who follow you will never follow Me, and those who follow Me will never follow you." Amen. Ok? "Maya" (Tamil). "The unreality of the visible world; the glitters seen in the darkness of illusion; the 105 million glitters seen in the darkness of the mind which result in 105 million rebirth. Maya is an energy or sakti (elemental force) which takes on various shapes, causes man to forfeit his wisdom (to fall out of the "Presence & Word" of God), and confuses and hypnotizes him into a state of torpor (into a belief in "his own presence" as "separate from" God's Presence, and "his own word" and "his own understanding" as "separate from" God's Word and from God's Understanding). Maya can take many, many millions of hypnotic forms. If man tries to grasp one of those forms with his intellect (like when man tries to grasp the meaning of "his own presence", "his own words", and "his own understanding", as "separate from" God's Presence & Word & Understanding), though he sees the form (though he sees the illusory form of "his own presence, word, and understanding", as "separate from" God's Presence, Word, and Understanding") he will never be able to catch it, for it will elude him by taking on yet another form." "Nafs Ammarah" (Arabic) "The seven kinds of base desires. That is, desires meant to satisfy one's own pleasure and comfort. All thoughts are contained within the ammarah. Ammarah is like the mother and the nafs are like the children. Literally: Person, spirit; inclination or desire which goads or incites toward evil (toward an illusory life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, with you living as if you are "separate from" God, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you)" The "Friends of God" - which in truth is the Qutb or the Action of God, and is Iman or God's Belief in God, that is, the absolute faith, certitude and determination that God alone exists, and the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One, and is Iman-Islam, the Spotlessly pure heart, or Qalb or "Crystal Heart", all of which in truth is "The Only True Solution" to all of the "friends of satan", that is, to the Nafs Ammarah and to Maya, all of which in truth is the "Friends of God", all of which in truth is the Qutb, Iman, and Iman-Islam. For Example, the Qutb or the Action of God, in truth is the life and teaching of your Guru or Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is always, "Coming as the Guru of God to all Light on earth", becoming "Good Qualities by fasting for 12 years", if you like, for in truth, "The Primal One will clarify the pure, those who submit to Guru will submit, is this not the secret of Allah". Amen. Ok? "Qutb" (Arabic). "Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom which explains (the truth of God); that which measures the length and breadth of the seven oceans of nafs or base desires; that which awakens all the truths which have been destroyed and buried in the ocean of maya; that which awakens true iman (absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God, that in truth Only God exists, that in truth God is One, as in truth So Are You); that which explains to the hayat, to the soul or 6th life within you, the state of purity as it existed in awwal, that is, in the beginning of Creation; the grace of the dhat, that is, the grace of the essence of God; that which awakens the hayat of purity and transforms it into the divine vibration (into the Resonance of Allah, that is, into the Resonance of the "Hu". Amen. Ok?)" "Iman" (Arabic) "Absolute, complete and unshakable faith, certitude and determination that God alone exists; the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One". "Iman-Islam" (Arabic) "The state of the spotlessly pure heart which contains Allah's Qur'an, His divine Radiance, His divine wisdom, His truth, His prophets, His angels, and His laws." "When the Resplendence of Allah is seen as the Completeness within this pure heart of man, that is Iman-Islam. When the complete unshakable faith of this pure heart is directed toward the One who is Completeness, and is made to merge with that One; when that heart trust in Him and worships only Him, accepting Him as the only perfection, and the only One worth of worship - that is Iman-Islam." End of Definitions Of The "Friends of satan" And Of The "Friends of God", that is, Of Maya, of the Nafs Ammarah, & of the Qutb, of Iman, and of Iman-Islam All From the book, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", On Pages 459, 462, 463, 464, and 465. By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) Bawa. For in truth, My Dearest Loving Children, this is "Who you are", and this is "Where you are", and this is "What is happening" in your life, not all of the current silliness of My Children on the illusory "outside" of you, or all of the lives of darkness and evil that Now live within you, that in truth allow you to live this way, that is, to live as "separate from" Everything, at least for a little while, all of which in truth is what God has discarded from within Himself to become God within you, and all of which in truth is just leading you to hell, that is, is leading you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, that is, if you don't wise up before it is too late, before you die to the flesh, and before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and harvests you as "his crop", and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok? Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of My Children, who in truth is Now My dearest loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, Only if you again become "One with" God within you can you truly Start to avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, for "hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God within you", all of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate to God the True Disciple, as this child learned to do when Bawa was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, using Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the result of your current state, which in truth is what all of My Children Now truly deserve, which in truth is what all of My Children have truly earned for yourself Next, based on your current life in the world, all of which My Children mistakenly believe or expect to recieve Next, after they die to the flesh, as some illusory heaven on another "outside" of you. Bawa. But all of which will become an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you when you begin to realize what you have done with your life, with what God has truly given you, which is both Himself and what He has discarded, and rather than joining with Him to Again discard from Him what He discarded, but this time within you, you have become what He has discarded, that is, you have "separated yourself" from God. Bawa. For in truth hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God. Bawa. But instead of all this, if you like, Now you can again become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, but this time with you doing it using Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, but this time for eternity, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as the true "Gift of God" now for your age, and for your life, if you like, coming Now to all of My Children through the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased".

End of "Introduction" to Spiritual Letter 131 ============================================================== 1. List of "Outline Topics" - Plus an Explanation of each "Outline Topic", all of which were extracted by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) from the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearl OfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com) from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). A "List" and Explanation that you can also access On-line at any time by Now clicking HERE, or later by using the following URL: (www.ThePearlOfWisdomIOList.homestead.com) 01. The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like - which is the Brief Title that "We" have given to the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), which is a beautiful "Road Map" to True Success in Your Life, that is, by "You" joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of "You" and then within "You", if you like. And doing this Now, before you die to the flesh, because after you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of you is gone, all of this beautiful "Hearts Work" is done, and is no longer available to any of My Children, for then, "The House and Life that you have built within your heart is the one you will get", but this time for eternity, So Please Build Well, Please Build "Your Eternal Home and Life" Wisely My Dearest Loving Children, Please Build It With God, as this child has Now learned to do, while you still can. Amen. 2. What You Are Now Capable of Experiencing, Is Now You, If You Like - that is, is the "You" within the "you", is the "True Self" within the "false self", is the "Oneness of You" within the "separation of you", is the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", is the "Life of the Qutb" within the "life of the satan", if you like, for the Choice yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of which house and life you will experience for eternity within you, that is, either the "House and Life" within you as "One with" God within you, or the "house and life" within you as "separate from" God within you, 03. The Truth of You And of God Within You - that is, the truth of "Who you are", of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in your life, which is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, just waiting to let "True Man Happen" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God, within God within you, if you like 04. The Truth of Adam (peace be upon Him) Within You - if you like, which is God's Gift to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, as the "Palace of the soul", as the "House of wisdom", as the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Julani (may God be pleased with Him, and the Truth of the Qutb of God, which is the Action of God, within Adam (A.S.) within you, if you like, which is "God's Grace", the "Grace of the Dhat" of God, that is, as the "Grace of the Essence of God", all of which is Now hidden within the "dark room" or heart or mind of each of My Children, as Now "The Door" to God, as Now "The Way" to God, that is, as Now How the Creation of God is to pray to God, that is, "Behind Adam", and as Now How the Creation of God is to eventually return to God, from which they have all come, if you like, and if you do like, then, if they like 05. The Truth of Your Current State - is "you" as the "Enemy of the soul", all of which was caused by the "spit" and the "black magic" of satan within you, and all of which "Only God can Cure", that is, when you truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God "Cure Himself of you", to let God "Cure Himself" of your current state, all of which is God's Illness, all of which is what is "separating God from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and if you do, then "You" will be God's Cure, First on the "outside" of you for your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, and then within you for His Creation, that is, then "You" will become God's Cure, "You" will become His Understanding, First on the "outside" of you as the Understanding of His Creation, which is His Qutb, and then within you as His Understanding of Himself, which is His Nur. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. 06. Understanding The Truth of What Happened To Adam (A.S) - and the significance of what happened to Him, for all of My Children, and for all of the Creation of God within My Children, First, which is the Fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) from "God's Grace", and Second, which is the Recovery of Adam (peace be upon Him) through "God's Grace", with My Children Now having become Again the Fall of Adam (peace be upon Him), having become Again the Fall of Adam (A.S.) from "God's Grace". And the Only Cure for My Children is Again the Recovery of Adam (A.S.) from His Fall, Again the Recovery of Adam (A.S.) through "God's Grace", not through any personal effort on your part, not through any effort on your part as "separate from" Adam (A.S.), which in truth is your "separation" from each of your brothers and sisters, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and not as your "separation from" God's Grace, which is Now your "separation from" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. This is what must Now happen to all of My Children, if God is to be cured of "you" as "His Illness", that is, if "God is to be Cured" of what is Now "Separating God from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if "You" are to become "God's Cure", which is "His Understanding", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, First as His Understanding of His Creation, and then as His Understanding of Himself. For in truth this is the Only Cure for any of My Children, which is "God's Curing Himself" of "you", of "you" as "separate from" Him, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join Him in this Grand Endeavor Again, which in truth is "you as separate from" God leaving as "You as One With" God comes forward, so as they pass, Understanding Can Occur, because in truth Understanding Only Occurs Through Contrast, through the Contrast of "you leaving" and of "You coming forward", through the Contrast of the "child of darkness" leaving as the "Child of Light" comes forward. Amen. All of which in truth is Adam (peace be upon Him) Again Recovering From His Fall, but this time on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, of Adam (A.S.) Again Recovering From His Fall from "God's Grace", through "God's Grace, or at least for Adam (A.S.) to Truly Starting to, before the "outside" of you is gone. That is, if you will only Start to Let Adam (A.S.) Recover, in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you will only let Adam (A.S.) Start To Recover From His Fall from "God's Grace" through "God's Grace, that is, Now through "God's Grace for your age and for your life, which in truth is Now through Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which you must truly Start To Let God Do, before you die to the flesh, that is, before you die to the "outside" of you, before the "outside" of you is gone, and God can no longer do this "Hearts Work" within you, that is, So God can then do "Everything Else" necessary to truly make your life successful in your lifetime. Amen. 07. The Truth of What God Now Has To Do - if you will only let Him, if you will only join Him, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you will only Now join as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of Him, and then within Him, So God can "Cure Himself of you", that is, of "you" living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", by God revealing "You" living as "One with" God, as "One with" your brothers and sisters, and as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which is "Most Definitely True", if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, and certainly not the Choice of this child. So please Choose wisely, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. 08. The Truth of What Has Now Grown Within You - that is, within your "room" or heart or mind, which is the "Thousand and One Wells of Hell", all of which is Now your destruction, and the destruction of all of the Creation of God within you, rather than the "Crystal Heart", which is your salvation, if you like, and the salvation of all of the Creation of God within you, and within God within you, if you like, and if you do like, then if they like 09. Closing Request - Please join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, while you still can, Which Now for your age and for your life is "you" becoming "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, as much as you can, as often as your can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So God's Grace can Now truly flow in your life, allowing "you" as "separate from" to leave, as "You" as "One with" comes forward, allowing God's Understanding to occur, through this Contrast of "you" leaving, and of "You" coming forward, that is, the Contrast of "satan's child" leaving as "God's Child" comes forward, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That would be good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and then Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you. So Please Choose wisely My Dearest Loving Children, Please Choose God instead of "you", as this child has Now learned to do, with each breath, So God can then do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Amen. End of List of "Outline Topics" ============================================================== 2.

Review of the "Opening Invocation" - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) - continued 4-2. The "Expanded Review" - of the "Opening Invocation", for "Outline Topic" 01 (Only), that is, with both the "Initial Review" and the "Expanded Review" for "Outline Topics" 01. Go to Page 03 for the "Expanded Review" for "Outline Topic" 02, along with the "Initial Review" for "Outline Topics" 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, and 09 for your convenience Text of "Expanded Review" - for "Outline Topic" 01 (Only), starting with a repeat of the "Initial Review" for "Outline Topics" 01 for your convenience 01. The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like Initial Review of Topic 01: Bawa. "The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like" which is the Short Title that "We" have given to the "Longer Version" of the "Opening Invocation" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com),to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Bawa. In order to highlight the True Significance of this "Opening Invocation", that is, as a beautiful "Road Map" to True Success in Our Life, that is, by "Us" joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of "Us" and then within "Us", to let God remove from "Us" everything that is "separating God" from God within "Us", So in the End all that is left is God, that is, all that is left is "You", that is, all that is left is the True Self, or "You", and God within "You", if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to join with God within you to use your life in this way, or not Bawa. All of which in truth is "You" accepting the "Truth of You", and the "Truth of God" within you, which is "You" letting "Truth Surrender To Truth", within God within you, which is "You" letting the "Seed of God" which is your soul germinate to this truth, all of which is "Your Oneness", all of which "Is You", if You Like, because the Choice is Yours, not God's, that is, because God has placed this Choice Now in Your Hand, Not in His Hand. So please Choose wisely, My Dearest Loving Children. Bawa. Please be a Wise Child. Don't be a fool. Don't continue to live the life of a fool which in truth is the current state of all of My Children, with "you" living in denial of "You", that is, with all of My Children Still Acting as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", a way in which all of My Children are Still Acting, but to your peril. Bawa. For in truth time is short, time is truly coming to an End, in your lifetime that is for sure. And what will you do then?. Where will you hide then? Something to think about a little, Yes? Amen. Ok? Expanded Review of Topic 01: Bawa. "We" have given this "Opening Invocation" the Short Title of "The Oneness of God and True Man, Is Now You, If You Like", because this "Opening Invocation" by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), summarizes in a beautiful way the true relationship between Man and God, and between God and Man which is "Oneness", like the true relationship between the Apple Tree and its Fruit is "Oneness", which in truth is an Example on the "outside" of you to the "True Inside of You", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". Bawa. And even more importantly, an Example on the "outside" of you of the current state of each of My Children, both within you, and for a little while on the illusory "outside" of you, which is your current state of "separation from" your "True Self", all of which is like the state of the apple seed buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "Truth of Itself", the truth of itself which is "Its Own Oneness". Bawa. That is, with the apple seed living a life of selfishness buried within the earth, before it awakens to the "Truth of Itself", that is, before it awakens to "Its Own Oneness", and Then It Must Decide, that is, then it must decide to either accept or reject the "Truth of Itself", that is, it must decide to germinate or not to "Its Own Oneness", letting the earth reveal the apple tree hidden within it, as it has been hidden within the earth, and letting the apple tree reveal the apple fruit, and letting the apple fruit reveal the sweet taste within it, and letting the sweet taste within the apple fruit again reveal the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold. Bawa. For once the apple seed reaches maturity within the earth the "Truth Naturally Emerges From Within It", and Then It Must Decide, to either Live of Die, that is, to either Live to the Truth of Itself and Die to the Falsehood of Itself, that is, to decide to germinates, or not, that is, to germinate to the Truth hidden within itself, and in this way, and only in this way, to "die before death", that is, to die to the falsehood of Itself which is the apple seed living a selfish life, a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of itself, that is, a life of selfishness in the earth as if it is "separate from" the earth it is buried within, and as if it is "separate from" the apple tree hidden within itself, and as if it is "separate from" the apple fruits hidden within that apple tree, and as if it is "separate from" the sweet taste hidden within these apple fruits. Bawa. All of which in truth is the "Initial Relationship" of the apple seed to its true birth right, which is "separation from" it, that is, "separation from" its true birth right, that is, the apple seeds "Initial Relationship" to its true heritage is rejection, is denial, is a "turning away" from it, that is, before the apple seed comes to maturity within the earth, all of which is "separation from" its True Self, all of which is its "separation from" Its "Own Oneness", that is, all of which is its "separation from" the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that the apple seed came from the apple tree, to join as "Oneness with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, for like all people, "not all apple seeds germinate" to the truth hidden within them, some apple seeds reject the "Truth of Themselves", after they awaken to the "Truth of Themselves", and then continue to live a life of falsehood, continue to live a life of "separation from" the Truth, even though they know the truth, because they have truly Chosen to do so, that is, until they die, that is, until they rot in the earth, and are absorbed back into the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed. Bawa. Such is the Example of the apple seed, the earth, the apple tree, the apple fruits, and the sweet taste, and the 1000 apple seeds, on the "outside" of each of My Children, that God has provided, and the Example of the "Choice" to "let this happen or not", before you rot and die in the earth, before you take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", that God has provided for each of My Children, if you like. Bawa. That is, if you will truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which Now for your age and for your life is to join with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly hear and benefit from this Example, in your lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, that is, before you too rot and die in the earth, that is, before you rot and die in the desires and attachment of your mind and become subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", with you becoming a worm in hell with only one level of wisdom or consciousness, with you taking on an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, if you are not wise, if you do not wise up before it is too late, and learn how to "fall into the fire" while the "fire is still burning", that is, for you to "get it right" this time. Bawa. And in this way, with you becoming an Example of "How to do it" right, that is, of How to merge with God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And such is the Gift of the "Oneness" of the Apple Tree on the "outside" of you, and Now for your age and for your life, the Gift of the "Oneness" of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) also on the "outside" of you, both pointing to this same beautiful relationship within you, that is, the relationship between God and True Man within you, which is "Your Oneness", and the Story of this relationship, which in truth is "You", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a relationship and a Story and A New Way of Defining You, of defining "Who you are", that is Now Available to each of My Children. Bawa. That is, the relationship and Story of "Oneness" that is Now Available to each of My Children, as Now "Who you are", that is, as Now "You", that is, as Now in truth "Who you are", and "Where you are", and "What is happening" in your life, all of which in truth is Now the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, that is, buried within the Earth of God, within God within you, just waiting to germinate, if you like, in order to reveal the "Tree of God" and bear the "Fruit of God", and reveal the "Sweet Taste of God", and again reveal the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, like this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. That is, the relationship of "Oneness" that is Now Available within each of My Children, as Now "Who you are", that is, as Now "Who you are" within God within each of My Children, if you like, all of which is so perfectly expressed by this beautiful "Opening Invocation", especially in the "Expanded Version" of the "Opening Invocation", that is, putting forth in clear terms the truth that the relationship between Man and God, and between God and Man, is "Oneness", that in truth, Nothing Happens In Your Life, except in Partnership With God In Your Life, and that is for sure, but again, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, this Partnership With God In Your Life will only begin Again, when you put down your current partnership with "you", that is, with the "Enemy of the soul". Bawa. That is, your current relationship with satan, that is, as Now the "child of satan", that is, your current relationship with all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, and that Now fill your "room" or heart or mind, and that Now Rule over you, with God's Permission, as the 9 openings of your elemental body, that is, as your pleasurable senses, as the 6 armies fighting two by two within your heart, that is, as the visual world that you Now see on the illusory "outside" of you, but which in truth is all within you, that is, as the Ocean of Maya or Illusion within you. Bawa. And as your thoughts, as the "veil of thought" that was formed within you, by your parents, as their gift to you, at the moment of conception, and is Now the source of all that you Now do on the illusory "outside" of you, but which in truth are the Nafs Ammarah within you. [Note: Please see page 463 in the book, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", www.GoldenWords.homestead.com) by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) for a beautiful definition of the Nafs Ammarah, as follows: "Nafs or Nafs Ammarah (Arabic). The seven kinds of base desires, that is, desires meant to satisfy one's own pleasure and comforts. All thoughts are contained within the ammarah. Ammarah is like the mother while the nafs are like the children. Literally: Person, Spirit; inclination or desire which goads or incites toward evil". Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hand lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And While you are there, that is, while you are reading the beautiful definition about the Nafs Ammarah at the back of the beautiful book of wisdom, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", also please read about the other great "friend of satan" which is Maya, or illusion, and about the "only true cure" for these two "friends of satan" which Now live and have Now come to maturity within you, that is, about the "only true cure" for them which is God, First as the Qutb or Action of God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, First as the Qutb of God which gives the Form of truth to your soul, allowing the soul to rest in that form, and then as the Nur or Light of God which gives the Sound of God to the soul, allowing the soul to "Speak to God, and in this way to realize Allah. Bawa. That is, the "only true cure" for Maya which is the illusory world you Now see as the "outside" of you, and for the Nafs Ammarah which is your elemental thoughts of "separation and differences", from which in truth flow all of your actions in the world, is God, which is the Power and Action of God, that is, is the Quddus or Wilayat or Power or Miracle of God, and the Qutb or the Action or the Qualities of God that naturally flow out of that Power of God within you, if you like, that is, if you Intend as God intends, that is, if you "fall into the fire" while it is still burning in the world, becoming the fire. Bawa. All of which in truth is the Grace of His Dhat, and the Sifat of His Dhat, that is, the Grace of God, the Essence of God, and the Creation of God, all of which is the Sirr or Secret of God, the Dhat or the Nur or Light of God, and the Sifat or form of the earth world that you Now are experiencing, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance. Bawa. All of which is also, if you like, that is, if you learn to fall into the Sirr, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and before you die to the flesh, is also the Dhat or Essence of God, the Sirr or Secret of God, and the Sifat or Form of God, which is the Asma'ul Husna or the 99 Wilayats of Names or Powers or Qualities of God, that Naturally emerge out of the Effulgence or Power of God when God Again Starts to tell His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, in His Presence and with His Intention, that is, in the Light and Action of God, that is, with the intention that in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", that in the End, there is "Nothing Still Separation God From God". Bawa. That is, the "only true cure" for the Nafs Ammarah within you, is God within you, not "you" as "separate from" God on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the "only true cure" for who you Now think "you are", for all that you Now think defines you, that Now defines for you "who you are", all of which is what you Now think in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, is "separate from" you, but which in truth is "You", but which in truth is what truly defines you, as "One with", rather than as if you are"separate from", that is, rather than as if you are "separate from" God within you, rather than as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and rather than as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For in truth what currently defines all of My Children is satan, and the "friends of satan", that is, the Nafs Ammarah within you, as your throughts, and Maya, as the illusory "outside" of you, not God and the "Friends of God", that is, not the Power and Actions of God, not the Quddus and the Qutb of God. Bawa. For example, what current defines all of My Children are your thoughts and what you Now see on the illusory "outside" of you, but in truth your thoughts are really your seven base desires always inciting you to evil, and what you see on the "outside" of you is a dream, that is, your thoughts are really your selfish pursuit of your own pleasure and comfort, at the expense of everyone and of everything else, and the "outside" of you is really an illusion created by the 400 Trillion, Ten Thousand Spiritual Energies that Now Rule over you as the 9 Openings of your elemental body, with God's Permission. Bawa. That is, that Now Rule over you, with God's Permission, as the 6 Armies doing battle two by two within your "room" or heart or mind, that is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of your Nafs Ammarah and of your Maya, and in this way, the "only true cure" for the Nafs Ammarah which you Now think is "you", and for Maya which Now think is "your world" on the "outside" of "you", is God, is the Power and Action of God, because in truth God is "Your Only Friend", and satan is the sworn enemy of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us). Bawa. For in truth the Nafs Ammarah within you, and Maya on the illusory "outside" of you, are what satan uses to destroy you, that is, to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), if you will let him, that is, if you continue to join with him against your soul, that is, if you continue to let the "Enemy of your soul" define you, define for you "who you are", and "where you are" and "what is happening" in your life, which in truth is the current "you", all of which in truth is the "little you", or the "discarded you", or the "lower you", or the "you" as the "sifat or form of creation", or the "you of illusory form", that is, if you fail to use God to Stop him. Bawa. That is, if you fail to use the "Big You", or what is "Within God" within you, to Stop him, that is, if you fail to use the "Higher You", or the "You" as the "Sirr and the Dhat" of God, that is, if you fail to use the "You" as the "Power and Action and Form" of God to Stop him. Bawa. All of which in the Christian Tradition is Now "You" as Jesus (peace be upon Him), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, as Now "You" as the "Holy Trinity" of God, as Now "You" as the "The Father, the Sun, and the Holy Spirit", to Stop him, and all of which in the Islamic Tradition is Now "You" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now "You" as the "Triple Flame" of God, as Now "You" as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen", to Stop him. Bawa. For in truth "They Are All One", for as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "Before you do anything call "Me", call "Me" Jesus, call "Me" Murugan, call "Me" Nur Muhammad, call "Me" Qutb Muhaiyaddeen, or call "Me" Bawa Adam, for in truth "They Are All One", but call "Me". Bawa. For in truth Only God can stop satan, because in truth that is all that is within you, Only Two Choices in your life, not Three Choices, that is, either "God or satan", that is, either "God or hell", Not Three Choices, that is, not "God, you, and satan", not "God, heaven, and hell", as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe, but to your peril. Bawa. For in truth this is satan's whole life, to destroy Adam (peace be upon Him), which he did, a very, very long time ago, and Now to also destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), which is what he is Now doing, all the time. Bawa. All of which is Now his only focus, which is your destruction, and the Nafs Ammarah and Maya is what God placed within you to help satan accomplish his goal, that is, to also destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), which is what satan is Now doing within you, all the time. Bawa. This is "How God Now lets satan try to do it", that is, how God Now lets satan try to destroy you, that is, to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), that is, through the Nafs Ammarah and Maya that God placed within you, with God allowing satan to use these to convince each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), at each moment of their life, that "you exist" as "separate from", rather than that "Only God exists" as "One with" Bawa. This is "How God Now lets satan try to do it", that is, for your age and for your life, with God allowing satan to use these things (the Nafs Ammarah and Maya) to convince each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Us), at each moment of their life, that your current life of "separation and differerence" on the illusory "outside" of you, with you Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, is Now your true life, your true heritage, your true birthright, rather than "the true life", "the true heritage", and "the true birth right" given to the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) by God, which is "Oneness with God", and "Oneness with" Everything God is Now "One with" which is Everyone and Everything, all of which in truth is God's Story, and within that True Man's Story, all of which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". Bawa. That is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story which you have come here to tell, that is, a Story that you as the "Seed of God" have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, and with God within His Creation, to tell, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to tell this Story or not, that is, the Choice to let God Again tell and bring to Completion His Story, but this time within you, that is, the Choice to let God finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, the Story of "His Oneness", which in truth is "Your Story", the Story of "Your Oneness", but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of His Story, the Understanding of "Your Story", the Understanding of "His Oneness", of Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness" will never leave you again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what is truly "Happening" in your life, either "You" are being destroy by satan, that is, by "you", without you even knowing it, with satan destroying you moment by moment in your life, until nothing of the Original You is left and only everything of satan is left, which is Now "you" and "your" current life, or "You" join with God to destroy "you", to Again discard satan, but this time from you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. That is, to destroy the current "you", to destroy "your" current life, that is, to let God discard satan Again, which in truth is "your" current life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, before satan destroys you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which is something that satan prays to God for 70,000 times a day, that is, for your destruction, that is, for God's permission to destroy you, to destroy you as the "Child of God", and reveal you as the "child of satan", all of which he has Now successfully done, or at least is successfully doing, all the time, with each of My Children. Bawa. And God is always granting satan his request, that is, his request 70,000 times a day to destroy you, that is, to destroy each of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him), as he destroyed Adam (peace be upon Him) earlier, that is, to destroy everything of God within you, leaving only what God has discarded from Himself Now within you, that is, within your "room" or heart or mind within you, all of which in truth is the current state of all of My Children, all of which is Now satan and his followers, all of which is Now satan and the "children of satan", all of which is Now satan and the "crop of satan", a crop which in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you have allow satan to grow in your "room" or heart or mind", and in this way, all of which is Now satan and the "house of satan" within you. Bawa. And in this way, with God telling satan each time that he asks to destroy the Children of God, "Yes, you have My Permission to try". Bawa. But with God also always warning satan each time that he asks that all his effort will ever bring him in trying to destroy God's Children is great embarasment, because, "Those who follow you will never follow Me, and those who follow Me will never follow you". Bawa. And such is the truth of each of My Children, the battle between God and satan that is Now being waged within the "room" or heart or mind of each of the Children of God, each moment of your life, which in your age and for your life is Now each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and Now on the "outside" of you, is Now the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like. Bawa. For Now in your age and for your life this is Now the "End Time" of this lengthy battle, which has been raging Now for 200 million years, all of which has absolutely Nothing To Do With "you", that is, has nothing to do with the "little you", or the "lower you", or the "you of separation and differences", that is, nothing to do with the illusory "you" that you are Now experiencing on the illusory "outside" of you, that you are Now experiencing as "who you are", as "where you are", and as "what is happening" in our life. Bawa. That is, that you are Now experiencing as what Now defines for you, "you" as "separate from", rather than "You" as "One with", which in truth is just your thoughts which are all within the Ammarah, and which in truth is just what you Now see, which is all Maya or illusion. Bawa. Because in truth this battle is between "God and satan", not between "God, you, and satan", and the only One who can be victorious in this battle is "God" or satan, not you, not "you" as "separate from", for in truth "you" as "separate from" Do Not Exist, for in truth the "you" of "You" is just a "follower of satan", is just a "child of satan", is just what satan creates, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to try and lead the Children of God astray, but only to his embarrassment, all of of which is what God has discarded from within Himself to become God within you. Bawa. And Realizing This, without the slightest doubt, that This Is How It Works, that This Is All That Is Ever Really Going On, Now "You" as "The Child of God" must Get God to Do It Again, that is, to Again Become God, by Again discarding satan and all of his followers from within Himself, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. For only then will "You" become victorious in your lifetime, as "The Child of God" becoming God Again, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind, for in truth everything else "you" think is victory is just drama, is just the drama of "I and you", is just the drama of "mine and yours", and in truth is just the "child of satan", who in truth "does not really exist", and in truth is just the "crop of satan" that he has now grown within you "room" or heart or mind, and in the End, satan will harvest "his crop" and claim it as "his property", with God's Permission, Not Because of God's Judgment, but rather because "you let satan" have "his way" with you. Bawa. That is, because "You Failed To Realize This, without the slightest doubt, that This Is How It Works, that This Is All That Is Ever Really Going On, that is, because You Failed To Accept "the true life", "the true heritage", "the true birth right" given to the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) by God, that is, because You Failed as "The Child of God" to Get God to Do It Again, that is, to Again Become God, by Again discarding satan and all of his followers from within Himself, but this time within you, this time within your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. That is, because you did not join in partnership with God within you to let God destroy the "crop of satan" that has Now filled your "room" or heart or mind within you, and grow God's Crop within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to destroy you as "separate from" God within you, and to reveal You as "One with" God within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to "destroy you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and "Reveal God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, because you did not give God permission to grow His Crop within you, so in the End, God could harvest you as "His Crop" and claim you as "His Property", and take You with Him to an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you. Bawa. Instead, you have let satan grow his crop in your heart, and even worse, you even joined in partnership with satan within you to grow his crop within your "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is your current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, all of which in truth is Now your selfish life, your life of sin, your self centered life on the illusory "outside" of you, with you continuing to live the dream, that is, the dream of Maya, that is, the dream of the illusory visual world on the "outside" of you, and dream of the Nafs Ammarah, that is, the dream of your actions flowing out of your thoughts, that is, with you continuing to live on the "outside" of you as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Bawa. But all is Not Lost, My Dearest Loving Brothers and Sisters, because you can still turn it all around, but please Start Now, before in truth All Is Lost, and you can no longer Turn It All Around, please join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which Now for your age and for your life is "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brothers Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth Then God will Do Everything Else, to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, to let God destroy "you" and reveal "You", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to let God destroy your current illusory life of "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you and reveal your True Next Life of "Oneness with" within you, Now before it is too late to make this transition in your lifetime, before you die to the flesh, and before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children. Bawa. That is, before "The Beast" harvests you as "his crop" and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission, and then drags you yelling and screaming off to hell within you, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. That is, with "The Beast" dragging you off to hell within you after "The Beast" is blinded and sent to hell by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, blinded by the "House of the soul", the "Palace of the soul", the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, by the "House of Light" Now for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. All of which Now for your age and for your life is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to accept "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as Now as such for your age and for your life, that is, as Now the "Door", as Now the "Way", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, as Now the "Presence of God", as Now the "Word of God", that is, as Now the "Word of God made flesh" for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you Bawa. For in truth this is the only hell within you, which is "separation from" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is "separation from" the truth and reality of your own life, of your true life which is your soul, which is the 6th life within you, which is Now animating hell within you, all of which is your current illusory life, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which is "Your Oneness", a "Oneness" which God will grow and harvest from your "room" or heart or mind in the End, if you will only let Him, if you will only join Him, if you will only let Him liberate your soul from hell within you, ending the life of hell within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And in this way, to let God, to join with God within you, as the Qutb or Action of God within God within you, as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul, to use your liberated soul to Start to animate the re-opened world of souls or heaven within you. Bawa. And then after the soul joined as "One with" the Qutb, with the Action of God, with the grace of the Dhat, as the wisdom that explains the truth of God, as the 6th level of wisdom, then the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul, as the Light Life, finds and joins with the Nur, with the Light of God, and takes on the Resplendence and Sound of the Nur, with the Light of your wisdom, that is, with the Plenitude of God, as the 7th level of wisdom, allowing the soul to Realize Allah. Bawa. And in this way, your life has Now become truly successful in your lifetime, because you have Realize Yourself, that is, you have allow "Your Source" to reveal "The Source" for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, that is, you have allow God to use your soul to Start to animate God within you, as the Resonance of the Hu, as the light of firdaus or the 8th heaven, which is the Kingdom of God, which in the End, which is Now, is the Hereafter Here and Now, if you like, and in this way, if you are wise, if you truly wise up before it is too late, to let God, in the End, take you willingly, freely, happily, with Him to an eternal life within you, as "His Oneness" joined as "One with" Your Oneness, as True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", and in this way, with "You" sharing the Understanding that you have become, that is, the Understanding of God, of heaven, and of hell, that is, the Understanding of the Mubarakat or Rahmat of Allah, as the Understanding of the Wealth of the Three Worlds within God within you. Bawa. And this is the truth of your life, this is why you were born, to join with God within to let this happen Again, to let God Again tell and bring to Completion His Story, but this time within you, not to accomplish any of the current silliness that you are Now doing with your life, all of which is just drama, the drama of the lower self, the drama of the "child of satan", the drama of you living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", that is a life of sin, of selfishness, and of self focus, which in truth is an Express Train to hell within you, if you are not careful, if you don't Start to use what God has Now given you, which is this "Final Gift" of God for your age and for your life, which is the gift of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Please don't let this last opportunity pass you by, as you let all previous opportunities pass you by. Bawa. Please Start to do this My Dearest Loving Children, please Start to be My Wise Children, So in the End, "We" can sit in the Hereafter as "One", and in this way, truly give Salams, as "We" did in the World of souls, and as "We" are still waiting for you to do here, in this earth world, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth this is the Gift of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), which is "My True Salams", that is, "My Salam of Oneness", to each of My Children, if you will only Start to accept it as such. Please try to do this, please step out in this direction in your life, and "We" will do Everything Else necessary to "Make it So" in your life, that is, to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. Is this really so much to ask of you, My Dearest Loving Children. Please try. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And if you do this, that is, if you do truly Start to join as "One with" the Qutb or Action of God, in this way, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to overcome these "friends of satan", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to overcome the Nafs Ammarah and Maya, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, then the Qutb will liberate your soul, take it to the Nur, letting it join with the Nur and in this way realize Allah, by First awakening all of the truths of God that have been destroyed and buried within the ocean of illusion that Now fills your "room" or heart or mind. Bawa. And then by using this awakened truth of God to catch the soul within you and give it a form, to give it the form of truth known as Ahmad, allowing the soul to then Start to animate the world of souls or heaven within you, that is, allowing Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to create the "House of wisdom", the "Place of the soul", the "House of Light", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to created the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be please with Him, and with Us). Bawa. And in this way, with "You" letting God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, liberate your soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him) from His Cross, from the Cross of this 8 span body, First cutting away two spans, and then, there are six, that is, "Within this eight-span house, half a span is your sorrow, half a span is your torpor, and one span is the fire of hell", which in truth are the current three sections of your elemental body, all below the neck, that is, first below the waist or false creation which is your sorrow, second, as your stomach which is the fire of hell, which is false destruction, and third, as your chest which is false life or your torpor. Bawa Quotation - "These are some of the things I have learned through experience. My Love You. Think about this. May Allah help you. Amen." Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, Beginning of Bawa Quotation From the book: "Shaikh and Disciple", "The Introduction" to the book, Pages 6 and 7, By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) If you can understand and discard these two spans (of your eight-span body), then you are left with six. Once you have understood all that is within the remaining six spans of your body, you can become a man with six levels of wisdom, capable of analyzing and discovering the secrets of the eighteen thousand universes. Then you will understand that one handful of earth which is your heart. But, "If you do not reach this understanding, you could become a worm in hell with only one level of wisdom. Or you could become a jinn, a fairy, a ghost or a demon. You will become a ruhani, an elemental spirit." "However, if you understand yourself, then you can become a human being. You can become My Messenger, you can become My Light, you can merge with Me and We can live together" These were His words (that is, the words of Bawa's Guru)" We have to discover what is hidden within this body. This is what we must learn from a wise man of purity. We must learn this from a pure father who has a pure heart. To do this, your unity and faith must be strong. Children, you must have purity of heart to learn from the purity of the father. The secret of God, our Father who is purity, must be learned with pure love, pure faith, pure compassion, pure unity, and a pure life. This is the only way we can learn and understand that purity, that meditation, that prayer, and that learning. If each one of you establishes and understands this state within, then the connection between you and your Father can easily be established. You can conduct your lives with ease and understand all you need to know. You can understand the life in which wisdom, good deeds, our Father, and the Children live together. When love, wisdom, and unity are all together, that is the heaven of gnanam. The Children of the pure Father will live in the paradise of gnanam. That is firdaus, our Father's pure kingdom. We will be given the radiant kingdom of our Father as our prize. You must understand this pure place. When you can establish this within yourself and demonstrate proof of its existence, then your Father's kingdom of wisdom, love, compassion, peace, and iman becomes yours. These are some of the things I have learned through experience. My love you. Think about this. May Allah help you. Amin. End of Bawa Quotation From the book: "Shaikh and Disciple", "The Introduction" to the book, Pages 6 and 7, By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) [Note: To read the full description of this process, from the perspective of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, please Click HERE, that is, to read the full "Introduction" to the book, "Shaikh and Disciple", please Click HERE, that is, to read more about this process of joining in partnership with God, that is, with your Guru, and with God within your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become your Guru, allowing your Guru to reach God within your Guru within you, allowing God to then become the True Disciple within you, and in this way, and only in this way, establishing the Triple Flame of God within you, when in truth Two Become One, within you, that is, when You fall into the "Fire of God" while it is still burning on the "outside" of you, please Click HERE.

And in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, Please realize this without the slightest doubt, that you have Yet To Do This Work, this "Hearts Work", that is, you have yet to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this is why "We" left the world when "We" did, so "We" could give you the opportunity to do this "Hearts Work", in your lifetime, that is, So "We" could give you "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", as Now your opportunity to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to catch your soul with the "Body of Truth" or Qalb or "Crystal Heart", So your soul can rest in that for a while, and then be taken to the Nur, So your soul can realize Allah. Bawa. That is, the opportunity for you joined as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you to let God "Cure Himself of you" within you, that is, to let Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you catch your soul with the "Body of Truth", with the "Body of Truth" created by the awakened wisdom or Qutb or Action of God within you, that is, created from the awakened truth of God within you, allowing the Secret life of your soul within you to End, all of which is your current impure birth, and your current illusory life on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is based on the "very real but false" lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, that have Now filled your "room" or heart or mind, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that Now Rule over you as the 9 Openings of your elemental body, as the 6 Armies fighting two by two within your heart, all with God's Permission, that is, until "You See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of you", that is, to Cure Himself of your current life of impurity within you, that is, to let the Secret Life of Your Soul come to an End.

That is, for "you" to "Stop Fighting With Your Shaikh for your soul", which in truth is your current state, which in truth is the true consequences of your current desire to continue living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, so "you can sin", that is, so you can continue to live a selfish life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as "separate from", that is, so you can continue to live a selfish life which requires that the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies take form and speak, 5 times a day, day in and day out, all of which requires that Jesus (peace be upon Him) stay crucified on His Cross with the "5 nails" of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin. Bawa. All of which is the true significance and value of the Islamic 5 times of prayer, which is to Start to deal with this Secret condition of your soul, that is, a condition which in truth is Stopping God from finishing His telling of His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, but this time within you, that is, a condition that is Stopping all of the Creation of God, within God within you, from coming to Judgment and from being offered Salvation, within God within you, that is, a condition that is Stopping all of the Creation of God, within God within you, from Standing Again directly in "God's Presence", and Again directly hearing "God Speak", because in truth you are currently forcing all of the Creation of God, both within you, and within God within you, to stand in "your presence" as "separate from" God, and hear your "exhortations" or speech as "separate from" God. Such is the true consequences of your current state and life of darkness and evil within you, and of your current life of selfishness and sin on the "outside" of you, which is to Stop God within you, So you can continue to have the illusion of "moving forward" on the "outside" of you. What a waste of a "Perfectly Good Life". Bawa. Please realize this truth of your current state and of your current life, My Dearest Loving Children, without the slightest doubt, and Start to act accordingly, that is, join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to deal with the consequences of your current state and life, which by its very existence is keeping your soul in its current Secret State, that is keeping your soul secretly working for satan, that is keeping your soul formless and soundless, that is keeping your soul secretly animating the lives of darkness and evil within you, and for a little while is keeping your soul secretly animating your selfish life of sin on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. That is, join with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to get Jesus (peace be upon Him) off of His Cross, to Start to liberate your soul from its current Secret State, from its current state of having no form, and having no sound, from its current state of being literally crucified on your elemental body, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin, from its current secret state of animating hell within you, that is, of animating both the lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance, which in truth is the life of the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within you, and animating your daily life of sin, of selfishness, of "separation and differences", of "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. That is, Please take advantage of this "Last Opportunity" to truly join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to Stop your soul from animating hell within your "room" or heart or mind within you, as it is currently doing, and instead allow your soul to be awakened to its original purity, allow Jesus (peace be upon Him) to be taken off of His Cross, allow your wisdom to pull out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the "outside" of your and sin, that is, join the awakened Qutb or Action of God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to do this "Hearts Work" while you still can, and in this way, and only in this way, returning your liberated soul to the original state of purity, that in truth was the state of your soul when it first came into existence in awwal, at the beginning of creation. Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "The only thing within you that can return to God is what came from God, and that is your soul, with your soul coming here from God "without an understanding of itself", and with your soul leaving here and returning to God "with an understanding of itself", if you like, that is, if you will let it, that is, if you will only join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let this happen, First on the "outside" of you and then within you." Bawa. For in truth everything else within you, other than your soul, has grown here, that is, did not come from God and cannot return to God, but rather has grown here in this earth world, and in truth has No Interest in returning to God, and can die either Now or later, for that is its Choice, that is, when you let what has grown within you Again Stand in the "Presence of God", rather than in "your presence" as "separate from" God, as you are Now making everything within you Now do, that is, for Everything within you to decide Now, in the "Presence of God", to either gradually rot in the earth, die in the earth, and be reborn, or to die Now in the "Presence of God", that is, to die Now here in this earth world, in order to support what God sent the soul here to do, that is, to support what God sent the soul here to accomplish, which is to come to this temporary "School of Contrast" in this earth world within you so understanding can occur. Bawa. That is, to Understand who you "Already Is", which is "Of God", which is of the "Oneness of God", that is, for Everything within you to give up their form or Sifat, and become the Sirr, and then to become the Dhat, that is, to become the Essence of Creation, or the Understanding of Creation, which is the Sirr or the Qutb, and then the Essence of God, which is the Understanding of God, which is the Dhat or the Nur Muhammad , and then the Manifestation of God, or Allah Muhammad, as the "Grace in the Form of Light", all of which in truth is the Understanding of God traveling back to God, So God can answer His Question of God, in Anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, in the time before Aathi, before the Beginningless Beginning, when at the Guidance of the Qutb of God, that is, of the Action of God that emerged out of the Quddus of God, of the Power of God, God in ignorance of Himself asked that Power of God, "Who am I?", causing God to Again tell His Story, but this time within you, if you like. Bawa. With the soul then becoming this Story, this Story of God, but this time within you, manifesting within you all that is necessary to answer this question, but this time within you, that is, manifesting within you all that is necessary to Tell and Bring to Completion God's Story, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, if you like, and such is the Only True Choice in your life, to fall into God's Story or not, as "Who you are", and as "Where you are", and as "What is happening" in you life, not any of the many Choices that you Now think you are making, but which in truth are just a reflection of the "drama of your life", the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", a drama that you can only win if you Stop playing, and instead Get God To Play, a drama that God Ends by telling and bringing to Completion His Story, but this time within you, and in this way, with God ending for good all of the drama of your life, all of which in truth is what is Now in truth "separating you" from God, not drawing you nearer and nearer to God, as My Children still mistakenly believe, but to your peril. Bawa. For example, like your illusory Choices about becoming a Muslim, or a Christian, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, or a Jew, or Now for your age and for your life, about becoming a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), or not, or about who you marry, and where you live, and what political party you belong to, when in truth your only Choice is to "Stop" working for wages to get into heaven, and instead Join in Partnership with God within you, to let God Again tell His Story, and Bring it to Completion, but this time within You, with You and Everything within you then becoming "God's Understanding of God", So God can Answer His Question, His Question, "Who am I?, that is, with You and Everything within you. Bawa. That is, with You and Everything within you becoming the Understanding that is Returning to God, by First becoming the "Understanding of Creation", which in truth is the Essence of Creation, that is, when you join as "One with" God on the "outside" of you to transcend the illusory "outside" of you, that is, by becoming the kind of True Understanding which can only occur in this Earth World, that is, in this "School of Contrast", which in truth is all within you, which in truth is "Who You Are" within you, that is, when you truly join in partnership with God within you to truly give up "Who you Now are" on the "outside" of you, all of which is the Understanding of the manifestation of Creation, which is what you Now see, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, in order to Understand what is "separating you" from God, an Understanding which can only occurs through Contrast", through the Contrast of "Who You Are" within you, which is the Qutb of God, the Action of God, which is the Child of Light within you, and "Who you Now are" on the illusory "outside" of you, which is "you" and "your actions", which is the "child of darkness", or the "child of satan, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And Second by becoming the Understanding God, which in truth is the Essence of God, which in truth is the Essence of God, that is, when the liberated soul joined as "One with" the awakened wisdom, which is the Qutb or Action of God within you, finds and becomes "One with" the Nur within the Body of Truth or Qalb, that is, within the "Crystal Heart", or "Palace of the soul", or "House of wisdom", or house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), allowing the Nur to give up its Resplendence and Sound to the soul, allowing the soul with that sound to converse with Allah, and "Realize Allah", and in this way, and only in this way, becoming the "Resonance of Allah", that is, the state of Allah Muhammad when "Whatever is manifested from Allah then returns to Allah and remains as Allah Himself", as then the Manifestation of Allah from the Essence of Allah, as My Children are Now the Manifestation of Creation from the Essence of Creation which is Now within your "room" or heart or mind, that is, "When the Nur Muhammad merges with Allah, becoming God's Complete State, becoming the Beauty of Allah" Bawa. And in this way, if you like, with My Children truly doing this work, this "Hearts work" by falling into the "Fire of God" that is still burning on the "outside" of you, which is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, So the soul can First understand "What is separating the soul from God", and join take up a temporary residence in the Qalb, in the "Crystal heart" within your current "room" or heart or mind, and Second, So the soul can Understand God, and realize Allah. Bawa. And what is Now "separating you" from God is "you", that is all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, and for a little while is "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is what Now defines you, defines you as "separate from" God, all of which is the Manifestation of the Creation of God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is Now both the "outside" and the "inside" of you, that is, the inside of your "room" or heart or mind, all of which God manifested from your karma, that is, from the inherited qualities formed within you at the time of conception, all of which in truth are "the qualities of the essences of the five elements, that is, the qualities of the mind and desire" Now within you, all of which is the "story of creation", all of which is the story your parents wrote on their bed, at the time of conception, all of which is Now "your story", a story which in truth is Now leading you on an "Express Train" to hell, that is, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late and join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. [Note: For more on this wisdom point, that is, about the current inside and "outside" of you, which is "your bank" and within that "your prayer" of "separation and differences", and what could Next become the "Inside" of you, if you like, which is "God's Bank", and within that "God's Prayer" of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity", if you like, please click HERE to read Chapter 3, "The World Within and Without"( (www.Spiritual Book008Chap03.homestead.com) in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.Spiritual Book008.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. All of which God then took from your parents, after your parents rolled around like snakes on a bed and conceived this "story of creation", with God then printing it within you as "their story", with God then putting a cover on, as your 5 elemental body, or as your "shirt" for the soul, and with God then animating "their story" with your soul, and finally with God then handing it to you, in the womb, as the "School of Contrast" for the soul, if you are wise, or as "your stage of drama, if you are not wise. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice of how you treat what God has Now handed you, that is, as either the vehicle for the liberation of the soul, and its journey back to God, First as the Understanding of Creation, and then as the Understanding of God, or as your "Express Train to hell", that is, as either an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, or as an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is most certainly your, not God's Choice, and certainly not the Choice of this child. Bawa. All of which in truth is the illusory world that My Children Now see, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which the essence of which My Children Now have within them, as the qualities of the essences of the five elements, as the qualities of mind and desire, that is, that My Children Now have within them, that is, within their "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth on the "outside" of My Children is the sifat or form of Creation. Bawa. And this is what you have come here to Understand, which is the Understanding of what is "separating you" from God, Not what you are Now trying to Understand, which is "your understanding" of God, but this is not Now the appropriate Understanding for My Children, but rather it is to truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Understand what is Now "separating you" from God, which in truth is Now "you", which in truth is Now "your presence" as "separate from" God's Presence, and is Now "your intention" as "separate from" God's Intention, and is Now "your story" as "separate from" God's Story, and which in truth is Now "your understanding of God" that is "separate from" God's Understanding of God. Bawa. And this is the First Step of your soul's journey, that is, of your soul's journey of "Understanding God", that is, by joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your liberated soul join as "One with" your awakened wisdom to First become this Understanding, that is, to let your liberated soul joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom to First become the Understanding of "What is separating You" from God. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, having Understood it, to Transcend it, that is, having Understood the Manifestation of Creation to transcend the Manifestation of Creation by becoming the Understanding of Creation, that is, by becoming the Essence within the Essence of Creation, that is, by joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul become the Qutb or Action of God within you, which is the Sirr or Secret of Creation, which is the Grace of the Dhat, or the Grace of the Essence of God, all occurring within God within you, that is, within your innermost heart or Qalb, if you like, that is, within the "Crystal Heart", the "Body of Truth", the four letter form of Ahmad, or of "Alif, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", within you. Bawa. That is, by you Now joining in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul with the "Presence and Word" of God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Now the life and teaching of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased". Amen. Ok? Bawa. That is, So the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul within you can then do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", all of which in truth is Now "you", that is, to do battle with "you Now as separate from" God, in order to truly liberate your soul from "your parents story", which has Now become "your story", that is, by letting Jesus (peace be upon Him) off of His Cross, which is Now your soul as the Secret 6th life within you, Again animating "your parents" story, but this time within you, that is, by you joining with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let your awakened wisdom pull out the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of you and sin, that is, of your desire to continue living your current life, that is, a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. That is, for you to Now joining in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to catch your soul with the "Body of Truth" created by the Qutb of God within you, if you like, that is, to catch your soul which is Now a Secret Life within you, with no form or sound, which is Now roaming around like breath, or smoke or vapor within you, animating or giving life to "your parents" story within you, that is, giving life to the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within you, for their benefit and certainly not for your benefit, all of which Naturally Happens within you when you truly join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Bawa. That is, in order to let the Qutb or Action of God within you, Create the Qalb or "Body of Truth", as a temporary resting place for your soul, in this way, and only in this way, giving form to your soul, all of which becomes your innermost heart within your current "room" or heart or mind, and to let the Qutb of God awaken "God's Belief in God" within you, which is your Iman or certitude of faith in God within you, and explain to your hayat or soul, to your liberated soul, about the state of purity it had in the world of souls, all of which is a Service which the Qutb of God is just waiting to perform within you, if you like, if you will only ask, if you will only "Step Back" So He can "Step Forward" within you, that is, if you will only ask Him with a melting heart, that is, a Service that the Qutb of God is just waiting to perform within you, that is, within God within you, within "God's Bank" within you, a Bank of purity which God has lovingly and ever so patiently placed within you, a very, very long time ago, a place within you which is no bigger than an atom, a place within you which is How God Has Already Saved You, if you like, if you will only claim this "Bank" and all that is "Within it", as Now Your Wealth, as Now what truly defines you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with you Now joining with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to allow the Qutb of God within God within you to liberate your soul life and begin to teach it "What it does not know", First giving your 6th life, your soul life within you, the Understanding of "What is separating you" from God within you, allowing your soul life within you to literally transcend the form or Safat of Creation within you by becoming "One with" the Sirr or the Secret of God's Creation within you, that is, on its way to becoming "One with" the Dhat or Essence of God within God within you, and on its way to becoming the "Resonance of the Hu", having Realized Allah. Bawa. All of which is the Understanding of God within the Understanding of the Creation of God within the Creation of God, or is the Dhat within the Sirr within the Sifat, that is, as How God reveals True Man within God within you, So True Man within God within you can then reveal God within True Man, allowing God to Finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story Again, but this time within you, if you like, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which is all just waiting within God's Bank within you, if you like, that is, just waiting for you to claim "God's Bank", and within "God's Bank", for you to claim "True Prayer", that is, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", as your "True Birthright", as your "True Heritage", as the "True Destiny of your soul, allowing your soul to return to God, from which it has come, but this time with an Understanding of "Its Oneness", so it will never leave it again, and this time within you, if you like. Bawa. And in this way, allowing "You" to become "One with" the Sirr or Secret of Creation, which is the Essence within the Essence of Creation, or the Understanding of Creation, which is the Qutb or Action of God, which is your 6th level of wisdom, the wisdom which explains the Truth of God, and then to become "One with" the Dhat or the Essence of God, which is the Understanding of God, which is the Nur or Light of your wisdom, the Light of God, which is your 7th level of wisdom, and then to become "One with" Allah, that is, allowing your soul to then "Realize Allah", to become the Resonance of the Hu, transforming the state of Nur Muhammad into the State of Allah Muhammad, when the "Alif becomes the pillar of the sequin of the mim, and the Lam disappears within the sequin". Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, with the soul joining with God, First on the "outside" of itself and then within itself, First at the 6th level of wisdom, in order to "separate from" itself everything that is Now "separating your soul" from God, and then in the Form of Light, that is, in the form of the Qalb or "Crystal Heart", in the form of the "Palace of the soul", of the "House of wisdom", to again join with God, but this time at the 7th level of wisdom, in order to "Speak to Allah", and through this Communion with Allah, to then "Realize Allah", that is, to Again become "One with" Allah, but this time with an Understanding of Allah, so "Its Oneness" will never leave it again, all for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God, allowing the Creation of God to do the same, if they like, that is to fall back again into the Ocean of God's Grace, from which they have all come, having completed their duty, existing again as the Ocean, no longer existing as the "Rain of God", as "separate from" the ocean. Bawa. And in this way, the soul Now in the Form of Light within you goes off to the Next of God's Schools within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, where God then teaches your soul, or God about God, that is, the soul Now within the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is, as Now within the Ship of The Qutb, as Now within the 11 Weapons of the Qutb, the soul returns to God, from which it has come, that is, the soul goes off to the Next of God's Schools within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, which is the "Resonance of the Hu" within the Secret Kingdom of God, within God within you, all of which is firdaus or the 8th heaven of God, or the Kingdom of God, within God within you, all of which is the Hereafter, Here and Now within You, if you like, all of which in truth is Then Your "Room" or Heart or Mind within You, if you like, where God Starts teaching God about God", if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is Yours, not God's, for God has already Made His Choice, and God has already Chosen "Oneness with You", and that is why you are Now alive within Him, and Now You too must Choose, So God can Now Also Be Alive within you, and in this way, their are only Two Choices, not Three Choices, as My Children still Mistakenly believe, but to their peril, that is, the Choice of either "God or hell", that is, the Choice of either "God or satan", not the Choice of "God, heaven, or hell", that is, not the Choice of "God, you, or satan", for in truth the idea of a heaven as "separate from" God, and the idea of "you" as "separate from" God in truth is the depths of hell, all of which in truth is satan. Bawa. Please know this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, and please Start to act accordingly, that is, Please Start to live your life as Now "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That would be good. Good for you. Good for "Us". Good for this child. Good for your brothers and sisters. And Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, allowing your soul to then Start to animate the re-opened world of souls, or heaven within you, and in this way, transforming your life or soul and your "room" or heart or mind into the state of Iman-Islam, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, into the State of the spotlessly pure heart which contains Allah's Holy Qur'an, His divine Radiance, His divine wisdom, His truth, His prophets, His angels, and His laws, allowing the Nur to then join with the soul, giving the soul its Resplendence and Sound, and with that Sound allowing the soul to Realize Allah, as the Resonance of Allah, that is, as the "Resonance of the Hu", as the Light of Firdaus or of the 8th heaven or of the Hereafter, which in truth is Now Here and Now, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen. Ok? Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, "To progress on this path of God, you must join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to close down the world of hell, the world of jinns, and the world of fairies, to re-open the world of soul, and then to open the Kingdom of God", in your lifetime, or at least to truly Start to do this, in partnership with God, before you die to the flesh." "And before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children, and in the process harvest you as "his crop", and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission, that is, if you are not wise, that is, if you have not truly wised up before this happens, that is, if you have not truly fallen into the fire of God while it is still burning in the world, so only the fire remains, that is, so satan no longer has access to you." Bawa. My Dearest Loving Children, you can read a beautiful definition of the "friends of satan" and of the "Friends of God", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh" (www.GoldenWords.homestead.com), that is, a beautiful definition of the "friends of satan" which is of Maya or illusion on page 462 and of the Nafs Ammarah or the seven base desires on page 463, and a beautiful definition of the "Friends of God", that is, of the Qutb or the Action of God on paged 464 & 465, and of Iman or "Absolute faith, certitude, and determination that God alone exists; the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One".. Bawa. And of Iman-Islam or the state of the spotlessly pure heart of man, that is, when the "room" or heart or mind of any of My Children has been transforming by God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which Now for your age and for your life is Now the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, if you like, transforming your "hard rocky heart", or your "sinful mind and desire", or your current "room of hell", into the Qalb, or "Crystal Heart" or house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), with the last two definitions appearing on page 459 in the same book, all of which "We" have reproduced below for your convenience. Amen. Anbu. Beginning of Definitions Of The "Friends of satan" And Of The "Friends of God", that is, Of Maya, of the Nafs Ammarah, of the Qutb, of Iman, and of Iman-Islam All From the book, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", On Pages 459, 462, 463, 464, and 465. By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) The "Friends of Satan" - which is "Maya" and is the "Nafs Ammarah", which in truth is how God lets satan try to destroy the Children of Adam (may God be pleased with Us), which for your age and life in truth is Now the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), both within you, and within God within Him, and which in truth is Now the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), on the "outside" of you, at least for a little while, at least till this "fire of God" also goes out on the "outside" of you. And with God telling satan each time satan is given permission by God to try, that is, to try to destroy the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him), with God telling satan each time, that "Those who follow you will never follow Me, and those who follow Me will never follow you." Amen. Ok? "Maya" (Tamil). "The unreality of the visible world; the glitters seen in the darkness of illusion; the 105 million glitters seen in the darkness of the mind which result in 105 million rebirth. Maya is an energy or sakti (elemental force) which takes on various shapes, causes man to forfeit his wisdom (to fall out of the "Presence & Word" of God), and confuses and hypnotizes him into a state of torpor (into a belief in "his own presence" as "separate from" God's Presence, and "his own word" and "his own understanding" as "separate from" God's Word and from God's Understanding). Maya can take many, many millions of hypnotic forms. If man tries to grasp one of those forms with his intellect (like when man tries to grasp the meaning of "his own presence", "his own words", and "his own understanding", as "separate from" God's Presence & Word & Understanding), though he sees the form (though he sees the illusory form of "his own presence, word, and understanding", as "separate from" God's Presence, Word, and Understanding") he will never be able to catch it, for it will elude him by taking on yet another form." "Nafs Ammarah" (Arabic) "The seven kinds of base desires. That is, desires meant to satisfy one's own pleasure and comfort. All thoughts are contained within the ammarah. Ammarah is like the mother and the nafs are like the children. Literally: Person, spirit; inclination or desire which goads or incites toward evil (toward an illusory life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, with you living as if you are "separate from" God, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you)" The "Friends of God" - which in truth is the Qutb or the Action of God, and is Iman or God's Belief in God, that is, the absolute faith, certitude and determination that God alone exists, and the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One, and is Iman-Islam, the Spotlessly pure heart, or Qalb or "Crystal Heart", all of which in truth is "The Only True Solution" to all of the "friends of satan", that is, to the Nafs Ammarah and to Maya, all of which in truth is the "Friends of God", all of which in truth is the Qutb, Iman, and Iman-Islam. For Example, the Qutb or the Action of God, in truth is the life and teaching of your Guru or Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is always, "Coming as the Guru of God to all Light on earth", becoming "Good Qualities by fasting for 12 years", if you like, for in truth, "The Primal One will clarify the pure, those who submit to Guru will submit, is this not the secret of Allah". Amen. Ok? "Qutb" (Arabic). "Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom which explains (the truth of God); that which measures the length and breadth of the seven oceans of nafs or base desires; that which awakens all the truths which have been destroyed and buried in the ocean of maya; that which awakens true iman (absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God, that in truth Only God exists, that in truth God is One, as in truth So Are You); that which explains to the hayat, to the soul or 6th life within you, the state of purity as it existed in awwal, that is, in the beginning of Creation; the grace of the dhat, that is, the grace of the essence of God; that which awakens the hayat of purity and transforms it into the divine vibration (into the Resonance of Allah, that is, into the Resonance of the "Hu". Amen. Ok?)" "Iman" (Arabic) "Absolute, complete and unshakable faith, certitude and determination that God alone exists; the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One". "Iman-Islam" (Arabic) "The state of the spotlessly pure heart which contains Allah's Qur'an, His divine Radiance, His divine wisdom, His truth, His prophets, His angels, and His laws." "When the Resplendence of Allah is seen as the Completeness within this pure heart of man, that is Iman-Islam. When the complete unshakable faith of this pure heart is directed toward the One who is Completeness, and is made to merge with that One; when that heart trust in Him and worships only Him, accepting Him as the only perfection, and the only One worth of worship - that is Iman-Islam." End of Definitions Of The "Friends of satan" And Of The "Friends of God", that is, Of Maya, of the Nafs Ammarah, & of the Qutb, of Iman, and of Iman-Islam All From the book, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", On Pages 459, 462, 463, 464, and 465. By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) Bawa. For in truth, My Dearest Loving Children, this is "Who you are", and this is "Where you are", and this is "What is happening" in your life, not all of the current silliness of My Children on the illusory "outside" of you, or all of the lives of darkness and evil that Now live within you, that in truth allow you to live this way, that is, to live as "separate from" Everything, at least for a little while, all of which in truth is what God has discarded from within Himself to become God within you, and all of which in truth is just leading you to hell, that is, is leading you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, that is, if you don't wise up before it is too late, before you die to the flesh, and before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children and harvests you as "his crop", and claims you as "his property", with God's Permission. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.
