Opening Greetings - My love you 2. The Great Limitation of Your Life - which is focusing on "People" as "Who your are", and focusing on the illusory world on the "outside" of you, as "Where you are", and focusing on "your drama", that is, on the "Drama of People" living on the "outside" of you, as "What is happening" in your life, all of which is "Just Not True". 3. Why Does God Create People? - "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." 4. God's Work Within You - has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you 5. Don't Try And Connect The Two - that is the "Child of Darkness" that you have become, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and the "Child of Light" that you can become, if you like, for they are completely different, one is of God, and the other is of what God has discarded, in order to become God within you 6. So One Must Leave So The Other Can Come - that is, the "Child of Darkness"within you must leave you, so the "Child of Light" within you can Come Forward from within you, and in the process, like "two ships passing in the night", as they pass, one leaving as the other Comes Forward, use your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from its Cross, from the "ship of hell" that is leaving, from the "Child of Darkness" as it disappears, like a cloud disappears after giving up its rain, that is, after liberating your soul from its Cross of this elemental body, from its Cross of this impure birth of the "Child of Darkness", So the "Child of Light" within you can go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, to the "School of Light" within you, where God will teach you about God, with "You" having successfully graduated from this First of God's Schools within you, from this "School of Contrast" within you, that you have now come to, where you can learn about "what separates you from God", if you like 7. The True "Gift of God" For Your Age - and for your life, and for the life of My Children, is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased" 8. The Power Within The Essence of Everything - and within that again the Everything, first as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace, that is, as the Holy Qur'an, as the Guru's Pearl, and within that, then as the True Disciple, that is raised to the state of Man-God/God-Man, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, by telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, if you like 9. Learning To Fall Into The "Fire of God" - before it is to late, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, by demonstrating to God within you the True Disciple of God within you, that is, by becoming a True Disciple or Devotee to God on the "outside" of you, which in truth is your Shaikh or Guru on the "outside" of you, learning to serve your Shaikh in the correct way, that is, as "One with" with Him, letting Him "Reason over your fate", and in this way, learning how to truly surrender and immerse yourself within your Shaikh, and in what "He is doing", so the "you" will be dead and gone within you, and "You" then become the Shaikh, and then do the same, if you like 10. Closing Prayer & Comment - My love you & Please do it this way, using God on the "outside" of you to get to God within you, which in truth is now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and is Us), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, so join in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) now on the "outside" of you, and with what "He is now doing" on the "outside" of you to learn how to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, and then for a little while also Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters still on the "outside" of you, that would be good.

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 (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 122 1. Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluh. 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 My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. 2. The Great Limitation of Your Life - which is focusing on "People" as "Who your are", and focusing on the illusory world on the "outside" of you, as "Where you are", and focusing on "your drama", that is, on the "Drama of People" living on the "outside" of you, as "What is happening" in your life, all of which is "Just Not True". Expanded Summary of Topic 02: Bawa. For in truth, "You" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, just waiting to germinate, so the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God can happen, so in truth, "You" are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And in truth, "God within You" is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, also just waiting to happen, so in truth, God is "True Man happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And as such, "You and God" are "One", that is, "You and God" are in truth the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to tell, if you like, for the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, as how God tells and brings to Completion His Story within you, not, is most certainly your Choice, not God's. Ok? Text of Topic 02: Bawa. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for the wonderful sharing that "We" had last night, sitting at the feet of God for your age and for your life, so God can be there, and teach you what "you do not know, saying the word "Bawa" before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, reflecting briefly on what God has placed before you, and then "Be done with it", saying to God, "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next? . Bawa. It was really helpful for this child, especially the clarity about the great limitation of your current focus on "people", both as "you" within you, and for a little while, as "you" or the "rest of you", on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is but the lives of darkness and evil living within you, that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, as the taste and fragrance of hell, and which now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, as the co-operative store of the 5 elements, who in truth are mortal enemies, but who have temporarily come together for profit. Bawa. That is, for their profit not yours, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within your heart, giving "you" the illusion of you, and your brothers and sisters, that is, "of people" living on the "outside" of you, that is, of living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, in the state of "separation from". Bawa. That is, the state of "you" living 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 you, that is, as living as "people" on the "outside" of you, all of which is "Just Not True". 3. Why Does God Create People? - "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." Bawa. And this is why "We" taught you, when "We" were living in the world, that is, when a little boy named Jacob asked "Us", when he was about 6 years old, the following question, "Why does God create people?". Bawa. And "We" told him then, as "We" are tell you again right now, 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, that is, if you will only "this time accept it", as the truth of your life, the following answer, "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." Bawa. And now you, Grasshopper, like your parents before you, have also done the same, your parents rolled around like snakes on the bed and created you, as "a people", and now you have done the same, creating "people". But none of this "snake work", none of this "people creation" work on the illusory "outside" of you, is God's work within you. Ok? 4. God's Work Within You - has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you. Expanded Summary of Topic 04: Bawa. For what God is doing within you is entirely different from what you are current experiencing, as "you", as the "world" on the "outside" of you, and as "who you" are" living with other people in the world, for in truth, what God is doing is "Telling His Story", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, for He can only finish this work within you, if you let Him, that is, if at this point in His Story, you join Him in what He is doing within you, by putting down what you think you are doing on the "outside" of you, it is just this simple. Bawa. And if you do, He will finish His Story within you, and in the End, "You will be within It", that is, You will get Him for eternity, as Him living as "One with" Him within Him. Bawa. And if you don't do this, if you don't put down what you think that are currently doing on the "outside" of you, and pick up what He is most certainly doing within you, as now what "You are doing" within you, then He Stops telling His Story within you, and in the End, you will get "you", you will get "you" as "separate from" for eternity, "you" will get you living as if you are "separate from" God within you, "you" will get an eternal life within you as 'separate from" God within you, which in truth is hell within you, for in truth hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God, that in truth, you have "separated yourself" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of your own life. Text of Topic 04: Bawa. For God's work within you has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you. Bawa. All of which has grown within you, in "your" ignorance of God within you, in "your" ignorance of what is "Within God" within you, and in "your" ignorance of "What God is doing", with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you. Ok? 5. Don't Try And Connect The Two - that is the "Child of Darkness" that you have become, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and the "Child of Light" that you can become, if you like, for they are completely different, one is of God, and the other is of what God has discarded, in order to become God within you. Expanded Summary of Topic 05: Bawa. Because the "Child of Light" will only appear from within you, from within God within you, when you are truly done with the "Child of Darkness", with the "Child of Darkness" that has grown within the darkness and evil within you, and now completely defines you, but in truth is the Enemy of God within you, but in truth is the Enemy of your soul within you, but in truth is satan living in the world, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, until you die to the flesh. Bawa. And until "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you, for all of My Children, harvesting those of My Children who never became wise, who never wised up before it was too late, who never joined in partnership with God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to learn how to fall into the "Fire of God" within you, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you Text of Topic 05: Bawa. So don't try to connect the two, that is, don't try to connect the "Child of darkness" within you, with the "Child of Light" within you, it won't work. Bawa. That is, don't try to connect that "Child of darkness" within you, that you and My Children have now become within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, in our ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, which is the "flower of hell" within you, with the taste and fragrance of hell within you, that has now grown within the lives of darkness and evil within you, within your mind and desire within you, as "your bank" within you, for the profit of satan within you, that is, in order to nourish the "selfish and sinful" ways of satan within you, and the "Child of Light" within you. Bawa. And the "Child of Light" within you, which is waiting to Come Forward within you, that is, is waiting to grow within God within you, within "God's Bank" within you, which is the "Flower of the Heart", of the innermost heart within you, with the taste and fragrance of God within you, as the True Disciple of God within you, that grows within the "Palace of the soul" within you, within the "House of wisdom" within you, within the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within you, if you like, if you will only join in partnership with God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Ok? 6. So One Must Leave So The Other Can Come - that is, the "Child of Darkness"within you must leave you, so the "Child of Light" within you can Come Forward from within you, and in the process, like "two ships passing in the night", as they pass, one leaving as the other Comes Forward, use your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from its Cross, from the "ship of hell" that is leaving, from the "Child of Darkness" as it disappears, like a cloud disappears after giving up its rain, that is, after liberating your soul from its Cross of this elemental body, from its Cross of this impure birth of the "Child of Darkness", So the "Child of Light" within you can go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, to the "School of Light" within you, where God will teach you about God, with "You" having successfully graduated from this First of God's Schools within you, from this "School of Contrast" within you, that you have now come to, where you can learn about "what separates you from God", if you like Bawa. That is, if you will only join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, to let the "Child of darkness" currently within you, to let the "flower of hell" currently within you, to let the taste and fragrance of hell within you, currently within you, leave you, that is, leave both within you and for a little while leave on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And to let the "Child of Light", to let the "Flower of God", to let the Taste and Fragrance of God within you, Come Forward, that is, Come Forward both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which now for your age, and now for your life, is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you. Amen. 7. The True "Gift of God" For Your Age - and for your life, and for the life of My Children, is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased" Bawa. All of which is now, for your age and for your life, "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased". Bawa. For the Choice to accept him as such for your age and for your life, is your Choice, not God's Choice. Bawa That is, not "Our Choice" within you, as your wisdom, and not "God's Choice" within "Us", as the truth within your wisdom, and not "True Man's Choice" within God within "Us" within you, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Story of God within God within you, all of which in truth "Are One" within you, are the "One Story" within you, if you like. Amen. Ok? 8. The Power Within The Essence of Everything - and within that again the Everything, first as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace, that is, as the Holy Qur'an, as the Guru's Pearl, and within that, then as the True Disciple, that is raised to the state of Man-God/God-Man, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, by telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, if you like Bawa. And in this way, one must leave, so the Other Can Come, that is, the darkness and evil and everything connected with it, that has now grown within you, must now leave, including all that now defines you as "separate from", that is, all that you are currently experiencing as "Who you are", and as "Where you are", and as "What is happening" in your life, must now leave, so the Light of God Can Come Forward within you, that is, so the "One" or the Effulgence or the "Power within the Essence of Everything" Can Come Forward within you. Bawa. And from within "That" within you, from within the "Primal One" within you, from within what is "Within God" within you, reveal again the 128, which is True Man or the 100, and the Holy Qur'an or "The Pearl of Wisdom" which is the 28, as again the "Story of the Oneness of God and True Man", that is, as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace. Bawa. That naturally emerges out of the Effulgence of God within you, within the Primal One within you, when God again starts to meditate upon Himself within you, and asks Himself the Question within you, "Who am I?, for the benefit of "The One True Child" of God that has been left behind within you, which is your pure soul, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within Him, which are all of your impure souls within you, as part of "God Saving You", as part of God Creating "God's Bank" within God within you, and within that, as part of God Creating "God's Prayer" within "God's Bank" within God within you, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you. Ok? Bawa. And this is why "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, the following, which is now recorded for you if you like, as Chapter 12, in the original version of the beautiful book of wisdom, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", starting at the middle of page 137, as follows: Beginning of Quotation From the Book: "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) "My brothers, we must consider how the Qur'an came from Allah, and we must delve deep within it. In order to understand its true meaning, we must be in the same state as that original Qur'an was when it emerged from Allah. "It came as a resplendence, a radiance, a resonance, and a grace. Then it came as a light to Gabriel. And when it came to Muhammad, the Messenger, it came as the grace and attributes of Allah. Next Muhammad brought it to us as a revelation. Then the sound of these revelations was transformed into letters and formed into words. What was revealed in those words ultimately became public knowledge and part of history. The interpretations of this knowledge later gave rise to religious differences, divisions, and bigotry, which in turn gave rise to prejudice, fighting, and wars. This is the state the world has come to. "We, however, must delve into the depths of the Qur'an; we must experience each step of the way as it originally came from Allah. As we look deeper and deeper, we will see the Messenger of God, and once we see him, we will know how Gabriel came to him and how he received that grace. We will see the light, and if we look through that light we will experience the resonance of Allah within the Qur'an. As we understand that resonance, we will understand our life and our death; we will understand the Day of Judgment, the Day of Questioning, and the ninety-nine attributes (wilayat) of Allah. "Once we have this understanding, we will see that all men are our brothers, just as the Qur'an teaches us. To truly see all people as our brothers is Islam. If we see anyone who is in need, we must offer him the water of the mercy of all the universes, the water of absolute faith, and the affirmation of that faith, the Kalimah. That water must be given to everyone who is hungry or thirsty. We must embrace them lovingly, quench their thirst, and wash away their dirt. We must offer them love, compassion, patience, and tolerance, just as the Prophet did. This is what will satisfy their needs and dispel the darkness in their hearts. "My brothers and sisters in Islam, if we offer peace, then justice will flourish. Love will cut away all enmity. Compassion will cause God's grace to grow in this world, and then the food of faith and the mercy of all the universes can be offered. When that food is given, hunger, disease, old age, and death will be eliminated, and everyone will have peace. "Allah and the state of a true human being are right here within us. It is a great secret, hidden within our hearts, within the Umm al-Qur'an. Only if we can study this divine knowledge can we attain our freedom. All who have faith must reflect upon this, understand it, and teach it to those who have less wisdom, to those who have no clarity of heart, to those whose minds oppose us, and to those who have no peace of mind. We must teach them these qualities, give them this food, this beauty, and this nourishment of grace and absolute faith. Every human being in the community of Islam, everyone who has faith, all those who are learned and wise, all the leaders of prayer and the teachers, all those who know the Qur'an-all must understand this. This is what I ask of you. Amen. Allah is sufficient unto us all. End of Quotation From the Book: "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) [Note: To read an on-line version of "Chapter 12", as well as an on-line version of the entire book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", by His Holiness M. R.

Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] 9. Learning To Fall Into The "Fire of God" - before it is too late, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, by demonstrating the True Disciple of God to God within you, that is, by becoming a true disciple or devotee to God on the "outside" of you, which in truth is your Shaikh or Guru on the "outside" of you, learning to serve your Shaikh in the correct way, that is, as "One with" with Him, letting Him "Reason over your fate", and in this way, learning how to truly surrender and immerse yourself within your Shaikh, and in what "He is doing", so the "you" will be dead and gone within you, so then "You" become the Shaikh, and then do the same Expanded Summary of Topic 09: Bawa. For only in this way, with "you" learning to let God within you do this work, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, and in this way, getting "God to be there", not you, getting "God to speak", not you, as "you settle into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", letting God within you, and for a little while, God on the "outside" of you, teach you "What you do not know", for God can only "Be there" doing this work, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if "you are not there", that is, if you have joined with God on the "outside" of you to demonstrate the True Disciple of God to God within you. Bawa. For only then, when you have learned how to truly join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, learning to truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh on the "outside" of you, will your current faults be removed, that is, your fault of keeping yourself "separate from" God within you, that is, your fault of staying outside of the "Fire of God" within you, your fault of staying as two within you, as you and God within you, your fault of having qualities that the Shaikh does not have, your fault of keeping you and the Shaikh as two separate beings within you. Bawa. For only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for only then will right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood be understood directly within you, for only then when you see something that is right, will you always see it as right, for only then will the correct food be available within you to appease your hunger, both the hunger of your mind, and the hunger of your soul, for only then, will there be no room for wrong within you, for only then will you be filled with right. Bawa. For as long as you do not attain such a state, you will not have this inner awareness, and as a result you will fall prey to all of the lives of darkness and evil that are still living within you, allowing them to literally lead you to hell, before you die to the flesh, following them to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, who at the End, takes you to the suffering of the grave within you, and finally to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you. Bawa. That is, if your are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late and disappear into God within you, like the rain falling back into the ocean having completed its duty as rain, exiting again as the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, as rain. Bawa. And doing this, by first disappearing into God on the "outside" of you, for if you fail to do this in your lifetime, then in the End, you will most certainly take on 105 million rebirths within you, with you ending up as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within you, again, if you are not wise, that is, if you have not learned how to again establish the "Presence of God" within you, but this time with an understanding of "God's Presence" within you, so you will never forget Him again, you will never fall into the traps of arrogance, karma, illusion, and of mind and desire again, so You will never turn away from Him again, you will never again not know to "Seek Yourself" within yourself, realizing that in truth, "Who you are?", is always, "What is within you". Amen. Text of Topic 09: Bawa. In this way, Grasshopper, only God within you can do this work, either within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if you will only let Him, if you will only join in partnership with Him, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of Him, to let "Him be there", to let "Him speak", to let Him teach you and My Children, "What you do not know", and He can only "Be there" doing this work, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if "you are not there", that is, if you have joined with God on the "outside" of you to demonstrate the True Disciple of God to God within you. Bawa. That is, by doing what "We" told you to do when "We" were living in the world, and as recorded for you now on the "Back of the Cover", of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for 2005, and as now available on-line, as part of the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.com) as "Spiritual Discourse 05" (www.SpiritualDiscourse005.homestead.com) as follows: Beginning of Quotation From the Book: "Questions of Life - Answers of Wisdom, Volume 1" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Disciple: In what way, how and where, does the disciple begin to see his Shaikh within ....? His Holiness: Do you see hunger? Have you ever seen hunger coming on? Disciple: I can feel it. His Holiness: "Right, it is a feeling. This is how you will know the Shaikh, in your feeling. If you come to the right state, you will experience the Shaikh in the same way. You won't see Him, but you will be going behind Him." "If you have accepted the Shaikh and surrendered to Him, you can come to that state and know Him within your body and your wisdom." "Look at this thing called hunger. You can't see it, but within your perception and awareness, you can feel it plucking at you. And when you give it the right kind of food, the hunger keeps quiet, doesn't it." "In the same way, if you imbibe your Shaikh in the right manner, that will stop the hunger of your karma, the hunger of your avarice, and the hunger of your desires and attachment." "If you drop a bee into the fire, what will happen? It will burn up. The flames will consume it. Where is the bee then? The bee has merged with the fire and the fire has merged with the bee. The bee and the fire are one. There is no difference between them any more." "In the same way, if you become a true disciple or devotee, and if you serve the Shaikh in the correct way, if you truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh, then the "you" will be dead and gone. Only the fire will remain, and if someone tries to touch you at that time, his hand will burn." "But as long as you stay outside the fire there will be two. As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh does not have, you and the Shaikh will be two separate beings." "Only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh. Then right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood will be understood directly. And when you see something that is right, you will always recognize it as right." "When you are in that state, at that level of wisdom, all things will be explained. That will be the correct food to appease your hunger." "That level of wisdom will know. There will be no room for wrong; you will be filled with right." "But as long as you do not attain such a state, you will not have this inner awareness.

Closing Prayer & Comment - My love you & Please do it this way, using God on the "outside" of you to get to God within you, which in truth is now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and is Us), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, so join in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and what He is doing on the "outside" of you to learn how to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, and then for a little while also Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters still on the "outside" of you, that would be good. Amen Bawa. May all the pleace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. My God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen . Bawa. Please do it this way, Grasshopper, using God within you, and for a little while, by first using God on the "outside" of you, to get to God within you, not using "you" as "separate from" God within you, to get to God within you, or to do anything, except to learn how "not to be there", to learn how to leave, and in this way, how to make "God Present", and "God doing", and "God speaking and writing" from within you, at all times. That would be good. Ok? Bawa. For only then can the grace flow, that is, when you affirm the truth of yourself, and the truth of God within you, and the truth of True Man within God within you, that in truth, "We Are All One", with each breath, with each look, with each word, with each taste, and with each thought. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

Opening Greetings - My love you 2. The Great Limitation of Your Life - which is focusing on "People" as "Who your are", and focusing on the illusory world on the "outside" of you, as "Where you are", and focusing on "your drama", that is, on the "Drama of People" living on the "outside" of you, as "What is happening" in your life, all of which is "Just Not True". 3. Why Does God Create People? - "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." 4. God's Work Within You - has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you 5. Don't Try And Connect The Two - that is the "Child of Darkness" that you have become, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and the "Child of Light" that you can become, if you like, for they are completely different, one is of God, and the other is of what God has discarded, in order to become God within you 6. So One Must Leave So The Other Can Come - that is, the "Child of Darkness"within you must leave you, so the "Child of Light" within you can Come Forward from within you, and in the process, like "two ships passing in the night", as they pass, one leaving as the other Comes Forward, use your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from its Cross, from the "ship of hell" that is leaving, from the "Child of Darkness" as it disappears, like a cloud disappears after giving up its rain, that is, after liberating your soul from its Cross of this elemental body, from its Cross of this impure birth of the "Child of Darkness", So the "Child of Light" within you can go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, to the "School of Light" within you, where God will teach you about God, with "You" having successfully graduated from this First of God's Schools within you, from this "School of Contrast" within you, that you have now come to, where you can learn about "what separates you from God", if you like 7. The True "Gift of God" For Your Age - and for your life, and for the life of My Children, is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased" 8. The Power Within The Essence of Everything - and within that again the Everything, first as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace, that is, as the Holy Qur'an, as the Guru's Pearl, and within that, then as the True Disciple, that is raised to the state of Man-God/God-Man, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, by telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, if you like 9. Learning To Fall Into The "Fire of God" - before it is to late, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, by demonstrating to God within you the True Disciple of God within you, that is, by becoming a True Disciple or Devotee to God on the "outside" of you, which in truth is your Shaikh or Guru on the "outside" of you, learning to serve your Shaikh in the correct way, that is, as "One with" with Him, letting Him "Reason over your fate", and in this way, learning how to truly surrender and immerse yourself within your Shaikh, and in what "He is doing", so the "you" will be dead and gone within you, and "You" then become the Shaikh, and then do the same, if you like 10. Closing Prayer & Comment - My love you & Please do it this way, using God on the "outside" of you to get to God within you, which in truth is now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and is Us), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, so join in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) now on the "outside" of you, and with what "He is now doing" on the "outside" of you to learn how to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, and then for a little while also Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters still on the "outside" of you, that would be good.

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 (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 122 1. Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluh. 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 My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. 2. The Great Limitation of Your Life - which is focusing on "People" as "Who your are", and focusing on the illusory world on the "outside" of you, as "Where you are", and focusing on "your drama", that is, on the "Drama of People" living on the "outside" of you, as "What is happening" in your life, all of which is "Just Not True". Expanded Summary of Topic 02: Bawa. For in truth, "You" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, just waiting to germinate, so the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God can happen, so in truth, "You" are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And in truth, "God within You" is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, also just waiting to happen, so in truth, God is "True Man happen" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And as such, "You and God" are "One", that is, "You and God" are in truth the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to tell, if you like, for the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, as how God tells and brings to Completion His Story within you, not, is most certainly your Choice, not God's. Ok? Text of Topic 02: Bawa. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for the wonderful sharing that "We" had last night, sitting at the feet of God for your age and for your life, so God can be there, and teach you what "you do not know, saying the word "Bawa" before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, reflecting briefly on what God has placed before you, and then "Be done with it", saying to God, "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next? . Bawa. It was really helpful for this child, especially the clarity about the great limitation of your current focus on "people", both as "you" within you, and for a little while, as "you" or the "rest of you", on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is but the lives of darkness and evil living within you, that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, as the taste and fragrance of hell, and which now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, as the co-operative store of the 5 elements, who in truth are mortal enemies, but who have temporarily come together for profit. Bawa. That is, for their profit not yours, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within your heart, giving "you" the illusion of you, and your brothers and sisters, that is, "of people" living on the "outside" of you, that is, of living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, in the state of "separation from". Bawa. That is, the state of "you" living 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 you, that is, as living as "people" on the "outside" of you, all of which is "Just Not True". 3. Why Does God Create People? - "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." Bawa. And this is why "We" taught you, when "We" were living in the world, that is, when a little boy named Jacob asked "Us", when he was about 6 years old, the following question, "Why does God create people?". Bawa. And "We" told him then, as "We" are tell you again right now, 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, that is, if you will only "this time accept it", as the truth of your life, the following answer, "God does not create people, people create people. In this way, your mother and father rolled around like snakes on the bed, and created you, as a "people", and when you get older, you will do the same." Bawa. And now you, Grasshopper, like your parents before you, have also done the same, your parents rolled around like snakes on the bed and created you, as "a people", and now you have done the same, creating "people". But none of this "snake work", none of this "people creation" work on the illusory "outside" of you, is God's work within you. Ok? 4. God's Work Within You - has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you. Expanded Summary of Topic 04: Bawa. For what God is doing within you is entirely different from what you are current experiencing, as "you", as the "world" on the "outside" of you, and as "who you" are" living with other people in the world, for in truth, what God is doing is "Telling His Story", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, for He can only finish this work within you, if you let Him, that is, if at this point in His Story, you join Him in what He is doing within you, by putting down what you think you are doing on the "outside" of you, it is just this simple. Bawa. And if you do, He will finish His Story within you, and in the End, "You will be within It", that is, You will get Him for eternity, as Him living as "One with" Him within Him. Bawa. And if you don't do this, if you don't put down what you think that are currently doing on the "outside" of you, and pick up what He is most certainly doing within you, as now what "You are doing" within you, then He Stops telling His Story within you, and in the End, you will get "you", you will get "you" as "separate from" for eternity, "you" will get you living as if you are "separate from" God within you, "you" will get an eternal life within you as 'separate from" God within you, which in truth is hell within you, for in truth hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God, that in truth, you have "separated yourself" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of your own life. Text of Topic 04: Bawa. For God's work within you has nothing to do with "people" living on the "outside" of you, either as "you" as "a people", or as "you" living and interacting with "the rest of you" or with "other people", all of which is only seen and experienced by you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "flower of hell" that has grown within you, for profit, that is, in order to nourish all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you. Bawa. All of which has grown within you, in "your" ignorance of God within you, in "your" ignorance of what is "Within God" within you, and in "your" ignorance of "What God is doing", with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you. Ok? 5. Don't Try And Connect The Two - that is the "Child of Darkness" that you have become, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and the "Child of Light" that you can become, if you like, for they are completely different, one is of God, and the other is of what God has discarded, in order to become God within you. Expanded Summary of Topic 05: Bawa. Because the "Child of Light" will only appear from within you, from within God within you, when you are truly done with the "Child of Darkness", with the "Child of Darkness" that has grown within the darkness and evil within you, and now completely defines you, but in truth is the Enemy of God within you, but in truth is the Enemy of your soul within you, but in truth is satan living in the world, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, until you die to the flesh. Bawa. And until "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you, for all of My Children, harvesting those of My Children who never became wise, who never wised up before it was too late, who never joined in partnership with God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to learn how to fall into the "Fire of God" within you, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you Text of Topic 05: Bawa. So don't try to connect the two, that is, don't try to connect the "Child of darkness" within you, with the "Child of Light" within you, it won't work. Bawa. That is, don't try to connect that "Child of darkness" within you, that you and My Children have now become within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, in our ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, which is the "flower of hell" within you, with the taste and fragrance of hell within you, that has now grown within the lives of darkness and evil within you, within your mind and desire within you, as "your bank" within you, for the profit of satan within you, that is, in order to nourish the "selfish and sinful" ways of satan within you, and the "Child of Light" within you. Bawa. And the "Child of Light" within you, which is waiting to Come Forward within you, that is, is waiting to grow within God within you, within "God's Bank" within you, which is the "Flower of the Heart", of the innermost heart within you, with the taste and fragrance of God within you, as the True Disciple of God within you, that grows within the "Palace of the soul" within you, within the "House of wisdom" within you, within the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within you, if you like, if you will only join in partnership with God, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Ok? 6. So One Must Leave So The Other Can Come - that is, the "Child of Darkness"within you must leave you, so the "Child of Light" within you can Come Forward from within you, and in the process, like "two ships passing in the night", as they pass, one leaving as the other Comes Forward, use your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from its Cross, from the "ship of hell" that is leaving, from the "Child of Darkness" as it disappears, like a cloud disappears after giving up its rain, that is, after liberating your soul from its Cross of this elemental body, from its Cross of this impure birth of the "Child of Darkness", So the "Child of Light" within you can go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, to the "School of Light" within you, where God will teach you about God, with "You" having successfully graduated from this First of God's Schools within you, from this "School of Contrast" within you, that you have now come to, where you can learn about "what separates you from God", if you like Bawa. That is, if you will only join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, to let the "Child of darkness" currently within you, to let the "flower of hell" currently within you, to let the taste and fragrance of hell within you, currently within you, leave you, that is, leave both within you and for a little while leave on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And to let the "Child of Light", to let the "Flower of God", to let the Taste and Fragrance of God within you, Come Forward, that is, Come Forward both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which now for your age, and now for your life, is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you. Amen. 7. The True "Gift of God" For Your Age - and for your life, and for the life of My Children, is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased" Bawa. All of which is now, for your age and for your life, "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the "outside" of you, if you like, in whom "We Are Well Pleased". Bawa. For the Choice to accept him as such for your age and for your life, is your Choice, not God's Choice. Bawa That is, not "Our Choice" within you, as your wisdom, and not "God's Choice" within "Us", as the truth within your wisdom, and not "True Man's Choice" within God within "Us" within you, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Story of God within God within you, all of which in truth "Are One" within you, are the "One Story" within you, if you like. Amen. Ok? 8. The Power Within The Essence of Everything - and within that again the Everything, first as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace, that is, as the Holy Qur'an, as the Guru's Pearl, and within that, then as the True Disciple, that is raised to the state of Man-God/God-Man, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, by telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, if you like Bawa. And in this way, one must leave, so the Other Can Come, that is, the darkness and evil and everything connected with it, that has now grown within you, must now leave, including all that now defines you as "separate from", that is, all that you are currently experiencing as "Who you are", and as "Where you are", and as "What is happening" in your life, must now leave, so the Light of God Can Come Forward within you, that is, so the "One" or the Effulgence or the "Power within the Essence of Everything" Can Come Forward within you. Bawa. And from within "That" within you, from within the "Primal One" within you, from within what is "Within God" within you, reveal again the 128, which is True Man or the 100, and the Holy Qur'an or "The Pearl of Wisdom" which is the 28, as again the "Story of the Oneness of God and True Man", that is, as the Resplendence, the Radiance, the Resonance, and the Grace. Bawa. That naturally emerges out of the Effulgence of God within you, within the Primal One within you, when God again starts to meditate upon Himself within you, and asks Himself the Question within you, "Who am I?, for the benefit of "The One True Child" of God that has been left behind within you, which is your pure soul, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within Him, which are all of your impure souls within you, as part of "God Saving You", as part of God Creating "God's Bank" within God within you, and within that, as part of God Creating "God's Prayer" within "God's Bank" within God within you, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you. Ok? Bawa. And this is why "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world, the following, which is now recorded for you if you like, as Chapter 12, in the original version of the beautiful book of wisdom, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", starting at the middle of page 137, as follows: Beginning of Quotation From the Book: "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) "My brothers, we must consider how the Qur'an came from Allah, and we must delve deep within it. In order to understand its true meaning, we must be in the same state as that original Qur'an was when it emerged from Allah. "It came as a resplendence, a radiance, a resonance, and a grace. Then it came as a light to Gabriel. And when it came to Muhammad, the Messenger, it came as the grace and attributes of Allah. Next Muhammad brought it to us as a revelation. Then the sound of these revelations was transformed into letters and formed into words. What was revealed in those words ultimately became public knowledge and part of history. The interpretations of this knowledge later gave rise to religious differences, divisions, and bigotry, which in turn gave rise to prejudice, fighting, and wars. This is the state the world has come to. "We, however, must delve into the depths of the Qur'an; we must experience each step of the way as it originally came from Allah. As we look deeper and deeper, we will see the Messenger of God, and once we see him, we will know how Gabriel came to him and how he received that grace. We will see the light, and if we look through that light we will experience the resonance of Allah within the Qur'an. As we understand that resonance, we will understand our life and our death; we will understand the Day of Judgment, the Day of Questioning, and the ninety-nine attributes (wilayat) of Allah. "Once we have this understanding, we will see that all men are our brothers, just as the Qur'an teaches us. To truly see all people as our brothers is Islam. If we see anyone who is in need, we must offer him the water of the mercy of all the universes, the water of absolute faith, and the affirmation of that faith, the Kalimah. That water must be given to everyone who is hungry or thirsty. We must embrace them lovingly, quench their thirst, and wash away their dirt. We must offer them love, compassion, patience, and tolerance, just as the Prophet did. This is what will satisfy their needs and dispel the darkness in their hearts. "My brothers and sisters in Islam, if we offer peace, then justice will flourish. Love will cut away all enmity. Compassion will cause God's grace to grow in this world, and then the food of faith and the mercy of all the universes can be offered. When that food is given, hunger, disease, old age, and death will be eliminated, and everyone will have peace. "Allah and the state of a true human being are right here within us. It is a great secret, hidden within our hearts, within the Umm al-Qur'an. Only if we can study this divine knowledge can we attain our freedom. All who have faith must reflect upon this, understand it, and teach it to those who have less wisdom, to those who have no clarity of heart, to those whose minds oppose us, and to those who have no peace of mind. We must teach them these qualities, give them this food, this beauty, and this nourishment of grace and absolute faith. Every human being in the community of Islam, everyone who has faith, all those who are learned and wise, all the leaders of prayer and the teachers, all those who know the Qur'an-all must understand this. This is what I ask of you. Amen. Allah is sufficient unto us all. End of Quotation From the Book: "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) [Note: To read an on-line version of "Chapter 12", as well as an on-line version of the entire book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", by His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), please click above or on the following, for "Chapter 12" (www.bmf.org/iswp/inner-quran.html), and HERE or above for the Table of Content for the entire book (www.bmf.org/iswp/index.html). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] 9. Learning To Fall Into The "Fire of God" - before it is too late, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, by demonstrating the True Disciple of God to God within you, that is, by becoming a true disciple or devotee to God on the "outside" of you, which in truth is your Shaikh or Guru on the "outside" of you, learning to serve your Shaikh in the correct way, that is, as "One with" with Him, letting Him "Reason over your fate", and in this way, learning how to truly surrender and immerse yourself within your Shaikh, and in what "He is doing", so the "you" will be dead and gone within you, so then "You" become the Shaikh, and then do the same Expanded Summary of Topic 09: Bawa. For only in this way, with "you" learning to let God within you do this work, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, and in this way, getting "God to be there", not you, getting "God to speak", not you, as "you settle into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", letting God within you, and for a little while, God on the "outside" of you, teach you "What you do not know", for God can only "Be there" doing this work, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if "you are not there", that is, if you have joined with God on the "outside" of you to demonstrate the True Disciple of God to God within you. Bawa. For only then, when you have learned how to truly join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, learning to truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh on the "outside" of you, will your current faults be removed, that is, your fault of keeping yourself "separate from" God within you, that is, your fault of staying outside of the "Fire of God" within you, your fault of staying as two within you, as you and God within you, your fault of having qualities that the Shaikh does not have, your fault of keeping you and the Shaikh as two separate beings within you. Bawa. For only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for only then will right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood be understood directly within you, for only then when you see something that is right, will you always see it as right, for only then will the correct food be available within you to appease your hunger, both the hunger of your mind, and the hunger of your soul, for only then, will there be no room for wrong within you, for only then will you be filled with right. Bawa. For as long as you do not attain such a state, you will not have this inner awareness, and as a result you will fall prey to all of the lives of darkness and evil that are still living within you, allowing them to literally lead you to hell, before you die to the flesh, following them to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, who at the End, takes you to the suffering of the grave within you, and finally to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you. Bawa. That is, if your are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late and disappear into God within you, like the rain falling back into the ocean having completed its duty as rain, exiting again as the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, as rain. Bawa. And doing this, by first disappearing into God on the "outside" of you, for if you fail to do this in your lifetime, then in the End, you will most certainly take on 105 million rebirths within you, with you ending up as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within you, again, if you are not wise, that is, if you have not learned how to again establish the "Presence of God" within you, but this time with an understanding of "God's Presence" within you, so you will never forget Him again, you will never fall into the traps of arrogance, karma, illusion, and of mind and desire again, so You will never turn away from Him again, you will never again not know to "Seek Yourself" within yourself, realizing that in truth, "Who you are?", is always, "What is within you". Amen. Text of Topic 09: Bawa. In this way, Grasshopper, only God within you can do this work, either within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if you will only let Him, if you will only join in partnership with Him, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of Him, to let "Him be there", to let "Him speak", to let Him teach you and My Children, "What you do not know", and He can only "Be there" doing this work, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if "you are not there", that is, if you have joined with God on the "outside" of you to demonstrate the True Disciple of God to God within you. Bawa. That is, by doing what "We" told you to do when "We" were living in the world, and as recorded for you now on the "Back of the Cover", of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for 2005, and as now available on-line, as part of the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.com) as "Spiritual Discourse 05" (www.SpiritualDiscourse005.homestead.com) as follows: Beginning of Quotation From the Book: "Questions of Life - Answers of Wisdom, Volume 1" By His Holiness: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Disciple: In what way, how and where, does the disciple begin to see his Shaikh within ....? His Holiness: Do you see hunger? Have you ever seen hunger coming on? Disciple: I can feel it. His Holiness: "Right, it is a feeling. This is how you will know the Shaikh, in your feeling. If you come to the right state, you will experience the Shaikh in the same way. You won't see Him, but you will be going behind Him." "If you have accepted the Shaikh and surrendered to Him, you can come to that state and know Him within your body and your wisdom." "Look at this thing called hunger. You can't see it, but within your perception and awareness, you can feel it plucking at you. And when you give it the right kind of food, the hunger keeps quiet, doesn't it." "In the same way, if you imbibe your Shaikh in the right manner, that will stop the hunger of your karma, the hunger of your avarice, and the hunger of your desires and attachment." "If you drop a bee into the fire, what will happen? It will burn up. The flames will consume it. Where is the bee then? The bee has merged with the fire and the fire has merged with the bee. The bee and the fire are one. There is no difference between them any more." "In the same way, if you become a true disciple or devotee, and if you serve the Shaikh in the correct way, if you truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh, then the "you" will be dead and gone. Only the fire will remain, and if someone tries to touch you at that time, his hand will burn." "But as long as you stay outside the fire there will be two. As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh does not have, you and the Shaikh will be two separate beings." "Only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh. Then right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood will be understood directly. And when you see something that is right, you will always recognize it as right." "When you are in that state, at that level of wisdom, all things will be explained. That will be the correct food to appease your hunger." "That level of wisdom will know. There will be no room for wrong; you will be filled with right." "But as long as you do not attain such a state, you will not have this inner awareness.

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), From: (The book), "Questions of Life - Answers of Wisdom, Volume 1" From: The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, 2005, on "Back of Front Cover" On-line Version: "Spiritual Discourse 005" (www.SpiritualDiscourse005.homestead.com) 10. Closing Prayer & Comment - My love you & Please do it this way, using God on the "outside" of you to get to God within you, which in truth is now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and is Us), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, so join in partnership with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and what He is doing on the "outside" of you to learn how to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, and then for a little while also Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters still on the "outside" of you, that would be good. Amen Bawa. May all the pleace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. My God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen . Bawa. Please do it this way, Grasshopper, using God within you, and for a little while, by first using God on the "outside" of you, to get to God within you, not using "you" as "separate from" God within you, to get to God within you, or to do anything, except to learn how "not to be there", to learn how to leave, and in this way, how to make "God Present", and "God doing", and "God speaking and writing" from within you, at all times. That would be good. Ok? Bawa. For only then can the grace flow, that is, when you affirm the truth of yourself, and the truth of God within you, and the truth of True Man within God within you, that in truth, "We Are All One", with each breath, with each look, with each word, with each taste, and with each thought. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
