Brief Outline - of Spiritual Letter 113
                                                                      - go to Next Page of "Brief Outline"
1.  Opening Greetings - My love you
2.  The Focus of The Mind - is you getting better, and the focus of wisdom, is getting
rid of what has to leave, which in truth is Everything, which in truth is Everything which
has manifested within you, a reflection of which you now see in your ignorance and in
your arrogance about you ignorance as "you" living a life of "separation and differences"
on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, all of
which is "Just Not True"
3.  What The Physical Guru Brings - are the "Ideals of God", and what the Physical
Disciple brings is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world God
can do it again, that is, God can become God again, if you like, but this time within
you
4.  Establishing The Triple Flame Within You - with you becoming the Guru, with
the Guru becoming God, and with God becoming the True Disciple, all Three as One
within you, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the
Creation of God within you, if you like, for the Choice to let God use your life in this
way or not, that is, to finish what God has started within you, is your Choice, not God's
Choice. Amen.

                                                                      - go to Previous Page of "Brief Outline"
                                                                      - go to Next Page of "Brief Outline"
5.  Mystical Experiences of The Disciple - can only occur as One with the Guru
within you, and as One with God within the Guru within you, as the Triple Flame of God
within you, that is, through the "Wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God" joined as
One within you, not if you and the Guru are two separate beings, not as long as you
have qualities different from the Guru, and certainly not through your mind and desire,
or through your physical senses, that is for sure, as My Children still mistakenly
believe
6.  "If Two Of You Come Together In My Name - I Will Be There", and so it was for
the Children of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and so it is now for
the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in
the year 2007, if you like, that is for sure.  "Try it, You Will Most Certainly Like It".
Amen
7.  "The Justice of God - is that whatever you intend is what you will receive", and in
this way, your own life answers the question, "What do you want for eternity?, because
what you End up with, in the End, whether it is God or hell, is exactly what you want,
no matter what you may be saying that you want, for a person is truly known by their actions, not by their words, and if your words are about God but your actions
are about "separation and differences" then in the End that is what you will get for
eternity, your actions not your words, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure

                                                                      - go to Next Page of "Brief Outline"
8.  God Is Closer To You - than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your
very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and that you
have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow have to again become acceptable
to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, in truth belongs to "Us",
and not to you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing" within you, and is never
about "you", and what you think "you are doing" on the illusory "outside" of you
9.  "Our Work" Is All Work - and "your work" is to know "Our Work", and at each
moment to hand "Us" what God has placed before you, recognizing it as "what must
leave", so what God has hidden within it "can come", and then with you becoming content until it does leave, and something new and wonderful does come, knowing that "Nothing will ever leave you until it is understood", and that "You can't put someting down unless you are also picking something else up", and that "God is the One who makes the "one who is speaking" silent, and the "One who is Silent" Speak".  That is,
with you
becoming truly content because of your gratitude for what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  And all of this is "Shukur", is about the 28th of the 28 letters that forms the mystical body of man, is about the quality of God known as "Shukur"
reappearing
within you, that is, is about the "Contentment and Gratitude of God" within you, that was lost to the dog of desire within you, when the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) plucked out the "spit of satan" from Adam (peace be upon Him), and threw it down, creating the dog within you 

                                                                      - go to Previous Page of "Brief Outline"
                                                                      - go to "Introduction"
10.  The Truth of "Who You Are" - and of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in our life, is what is "Within God" within you, and 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 you
11.  Stop All This Silliness - that you are current doing in the world, because "Time Is Running Out", and "The Beast" is coming, "The Beast" is coming, "The Breast" is coming, from within at least one of My Children, and that is for sure, and he is looking to harvest you as "his crop", and "his property" before he is destroyed by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and he drags you as "his property" off screaming back down the birth canal to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join with "Us" within you, so "We" can grow "Our Crop" within you, and harvest "You" as "Our Property" before "The Beast" has his way with you for eternity
12.  Understanding What Hell Is - "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", and even more profoundly, you have "separated your self" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of Yourself, which is "Your Oneness"
13.  The Prayer of The True Disciple - "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru", Especially What You Cannot Physically Give My Guru, Including A Share of All The Suffering And Difficulties In The World of His Children, Who Have Now Become My ChildrenAmen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar

E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 113

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 kulluhu.  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 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.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
2.  The Focus of The Mind - is you getting better, and the focus of wisdom, is
getting rid of what has to leave, which in truth is Everything, which in truth is Everything
which has manifested within you, a reflection of which you now see in your ignorance
and in your arrogance about you ignorance as "you" living a life of "separation and
differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within
you, all of which is "Just Not True"

Bawa. You are a very, very good Child of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh
Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with
Us) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His
Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), if
you like, which in truth is all of the Children living in your age, if you like.

Bawa.  Thank you for the very beautiful sharing that you had last night with "Our"
dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God
be pleased with Him, and with Us), which revealed with great clarity such a wonderful
and important number of wisdom points, for all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  That is, about "How to Walk The Path of God", both within you and for a little
while longer, on the "outside" of you, not by getting better, which is always the focus of
the mind, but rather by getting rid of what has to leave, which is always the focus of
wisdom, in partnership with God within you, so truly "God is Present" within you, for
the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, which in truth includes all of My
Children living in the world.

Bawa.  So "God can Speak" from within you to all of the Creation of God within you,
and for a little while to all of your brothers and sisters living in the world, and in this
way, and only in this way, start to "Pass Judgment" upon them before you die to the
flesh, for such is the only true value of your life, and the life of each of My Children.
Amen.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
3.  What The Physical Guru Brings - are the "Ideals of God", and what the Physical Disciple brings is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world God can do it again, that is, God can become God again, if you like, but this time within you

Bawa.  For what God brings into the world through the Physical Guru are the "Ideals of God", and what God brings into the world through the Physical Disciple is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world, in the Name of God, God can do it again, God can again become God, if you like, but this time within you, that is, so God can discard again, if you like, what God has discarded before to become God to all of the Creation of God living within Him, but this time within you, if you like, this time allowing God to again become God to all of the Creation of God within Him, but this time within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's.

BawaBut this time within you, that is, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join Him, as "One with" Him, if you will only join Him as the True Disciple and start handing to God within you, which is now the True Guru within you, everything God has to discard from within you, to again establish God within you, and to again establish all of the Creation of God within Him within you, that is, to now allow God to become God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, to allow the True Disciple within you, to become God within you to all of the Creation of God within you. Amen.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
4.  Establishing The Triple Flame Within You - with you becoming the Guru, with the Guru becoming God, and with God becoming the True Disciple, all Three as One within you, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, if you like, for the Choice to let God use your life in this way or not, that is, to finish what God has started within you, is your Choice,
no
t God's Choice. Amen.

Bawa. In this way, establishing the "Triple Flame of God" within you, that is, God, the Guru, and the True Disciple within you, as One within you, as "We" beautifully explained to you, when "We" were living with you in the world, and as now recorded for you in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for November, 2006, as follows,

Beginning of Quotation
From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)

"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true gnana guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher.  When you take refuge in such a guru you will see God.  You become the guru, disappearing in him while the guru disappears in God, (and God becomes the true disciple).  Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the guru is a flame, the disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the triple flame.  Children, please understand this extraordinary process".

Source:  The Tree That Fell to the West: Autobiography of a Sufi, and the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for November 2006.

End of Quotation
From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)

Bawa.  So this is how it works Grasshopper, you become the Guru within you, your Guru becomes God within you, and God becomes the True Disciple within you, as One, as the "Triple Flame of God" within you, if you like, for the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, is use it to let God within you discard everything from within you that is separating God from God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, is your Choice, not God's Choice.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
5.  Mystical Experiences of The Disciple - can only occur as One with the Guru within you, and as One with God within the Guru within you, as the Triple Flame of God within you, that is, through the "Wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God" joined as One within you, not if you and the Guru are two separate beings, not as long as you
have qualities different from the Guru, and certainly not through your mind and desire,
or through your physical senses, that is for sure, as My Children still mistakenly
believe

Bawa.  And in this state, as the Triple Flame of God within you, now you can start to experience all of the wonderful things that "We" shared with My Children when "We" were living in the world, all of the wonderful Mystical Experiences that literally define for you the "Path of God" within you, which each of My Children must walk and experience if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime.  Ok?

From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)
In The "Introduction" To The Book,
"A Mystical Journey"

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Disciple:

I want to ask Bawa one or two questions about his mystical experiences.  First, we're interested to know whether he actually lived these experiences, or are these words just symbols of other realities?

His Holiness:

These are not symbols, these were paths I saw and traveled along. I have experienced these directly, they aren't just stories. But it is not good to speak too much about these things.

We are not this body, which is made up of earth, fire, water, air, and ether.

When man dreams, he sees many different and wonderful things. But those marvelous visions are merely his thoughts being visualized. As soon as he reaches out to grab them, he awakens to find them gone.

The experiences I had are not like those dreams. For in them, the picture that was taken, actually exists, and still exists. The people are real, the history is real.

The earth-fire-water-air-ether mind is always sleeping. That mind is not really the person.

And these mystical experiences are not known through that mind, but rather through wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God, which together fly round and round looking at the cities of illusion and at the wondrous cities of God.

They discover the secrets of those cities and uncover layer after layer of explanations, of what is right and what is wrong, what is illusion and what is truth.

They determine which water is good, and which is poisonous, which will give the good taste, and which will give the bad taste.

Thus wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God inquire into everything. and facing each directly they conclude,

          "This is what the seven hells are, and these are the eight heavens."

Then they ask,

          "What do these eight heavens mean? What do they signify?"

Now, heaven and hell look the same, but their taste is different. Hell might appear to be resplendent, but once you see the light of truth, hell disappears. As long as there is no truth, hell shines in its own light, but we shouldn't accept that as the true light.

A man who doesn't know what gold is, might think that copper is gold, or all that glitter is gold. But a wise man will test it.

First he will rub the metal against a stone, and then drop some acid over it. If it is real gold it will not be marred, but if it is not, it will dissolve under that acid.

Like this, when the wisdom of the soul, and the essence of truth pick up something, they first rub it on a testing stone, and then pour the acid of wisdom over it. Whatever dissolves is false. Whatever stays without disappearing is true.

These are direct, face to face scenes I experienced. All the secrets of God's creation can be revealed through the soul, wisdom, and grace.

But these things cannot be revealed to the body, to desire, or to the mind. They are not revealed through the senses, which relate to the earth.

The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings.

Not everyone will be able to discover the inner meanings. It is rare to find someone who can attain that full power. Whoever does have this ability is a Qutb, One who has achieved divine analytic wisdom.

I am not like that, I am still a student, still learning. I am only relating to you what I have already learned on my path.

There is much more to learn. What we have learned so far amounts to a mere handful of earth. Our heart consists of just one handful.

No matter how much we have studied, all that we have learned though our mind, and desire, and body, amounts to no more than a fistful of earth.

Once you transcend this and start studying beyond, then what you learn will amount to all that is in the entire universe. What remains to be studied, after transcending this handful of earth, amounts to the whole world.

This is how it is, my brother. Amin.

From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)
In The "Introduction" To The Book,
"A Mystical Journey"
          
6.  "If Two Of You Come Together In My Name - I Will Be There", and so it was for the Children of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and so it is
now
for the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in the year 2007, if you like, that is for sure.  "Try it, You Will Most Certainly Like It".  Amen

Bawa.  So what are you to do Grasshopper?  What you did last night, that is, to come together in My Name, so "We can be there", and teach you what "You do not know", that is what you are to do, if you like, just like the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) did with the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) in "His Cave", squeezing Him tightly, saying to Him Three Times, to Read, that is,

          "Read, Read, In the Name of God who created man from a sensitive drop of blood
          and teaches him what he does not know, Read".

Bawa. And "We" will come and teach each of My Children "What you do not know", it is just this simple, but instead if you focus on becoming better, or wiser, or good, or important, then what is God to do with you in the End, but give you what you want, and if what you want is hell, and all the qualities of hell, then that is what in the End you will receive, which is all of the "separation and differences" of the world that you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, as "you", as all of the societies of hell that you now call "your world", then that is what God will most certainly give you in the End, for eternity, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
7. "The Justice of God - is that whatever you intend is what you will receive."
and in this way, your own life answers the question, "What do you want for eternity?, because what you End up with, in the End, whether it is God or hell, is exactly what you want, no matter what you may be saying that you want, for a person is truly known by their actions, not by their words, and if your words are about God but your actions
are about "separation and differences" then in the End that is what you will get for
eternity, your actions not your words, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure

Bawa.  For as "We" taught while "We" were living in the world,

          "The Justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive."

Bawa.  For what is God to do, if you continue to believe in your "own existence" on the "outside" of you as "separate from" God's existence within you, "An Existence" which in truth is an existence of "Oneness with" within "Us" within you, rather than an existence of "separation from" on the illusory "outside" of you, for in truth this is the only sin in your life, in the life of each of My Children, which is your apparent "separation from" God within you, which is also reflected in your apparent "separation from" each other, and from the Creation of God that "We" have placed within you, all of which is "Just Not True", all of which in truth is just an act, an act of "separation from", which results in a life of "separation from", but in truth is not real, in truth is not really happening.

Bawa.  For as "We" taught while "We" were living in the world,

          "All that you see is a dream,
          All that you do is just a thought within that dream,
          All that you appear as is hidden".

          "Life is a feast of the world,
          Its medicine is a time after a time".

          (Its medicine is the remembrance of God within you,
          And of what is "Within God" within you,
          And 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 you,
          With every breath, with every look, with every word,
          With every taste, and with every thought,
          For the rest of your life,
          Until your very last breath. Amen)".

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
8.  God Is Closer To You - than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow again have to become acceptable to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, belongs to "Us", and not you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing", and never about "you", and what you think "you are doing", on the illusory "outside" of you

Bawa.  For in truth "We" are closer to you than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow again have to become acceptable to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, in truth belongs to "Us", and not you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing", and never about "you", and what you think "you are doing".

Bawa.  For in truth you are the one who has left "Us", you are the one who has turned away from "Us", establishing your "own presence" as separate from "Our Presence", establishing your "own intention" as separate from "Our Intention", establishing your "own story" as separate from "Our Story".  This is your work, not "Our Work".

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
9.  "Our Work" Is All Work - and "your work" is to know "Our Work", and at
each momen
t to hand "Us" what God has placed before you, recognizing it as "what must leave", so what God has hidden within it "can come", and then with you
becoming content until it does leave, and something new and wonderful does come,

knowing that
"Nothing will ever leave you until it is understood", and that "You can't put someting down unless you are also picking something else up", and that "God is the One who makes the "one who is speaking" silent, and the "One who is Silent" Speak". That is, with you becoming truly content because of your gratitude for what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  And all of this is "Shukur", is about the 28th of the 28 letters that forms the mystical body of man, is about "Shukur" reappearing within you, that is, is about the "Contentment and Gratitude of God" that was lost to the dog of desire within you when the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) within you plucked out the "spit of satan" from Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, and threw it down, creating the dog within you

Bawa.  For "Our Work" is to reveal "Us" within you, as "You" within "Us", for the
benefit of all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, and your work should be to "Know Our Work", which is "All Work" within you, and to join as "One with" Us in "Our Work", and in this way, and only in this way, allowing "Us" to complete "Our Work" within you, not what you are currently doing.

Bawa.  For what you are currently doing is just the opposite of this, for now "your work" is to deny "Our Work", and to turn it all around, so in truth you are the "one struggling", you are the one who needs help, while in truth it is just the opposite, for in truth it is "We who are struggling", not you, and it is "We" who need help, not you, because without your help nothing that "We" have placed within you can "Come Home", nothing that "We" placed within you can "Be Saved", nothing that "We" have place within you can stand directly in "Our Presence" again, and hear "Our Words" again, and be given the opportunity to "Fall back again into Us", but this time "As Our Understanding".

Bawa.  In this way, and only in this way, with "Everything" completing why "Everything Originally Left Us", that is, to "Complete Their Duty" and return to "Us", that is, to give up "Their Understanding" to wisdom, and fall back into "Us", again becoming "Us", like a rain cloud gives up its rain, falling back into the ocean, from which it came, having completed its duty, having given up its moisture for the benefit of all creations, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as rain, as "separate from" the ocean.  And this is the truth of your life.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
10.  The Truth of "Who You Are" - and of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in our life, is what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you

Bawa.  Because "Who you are" in truth is "Us happening" again, but this time within you, because "Who you are" and "Where you are" in truth is the "Seed of God" within "Us" buried within the "Earth of God" within "Us" within you, which is the Creation of God within "Us", just waiting to germinate to this "Truth of you", just waiting to reveal the "Tree of God" growing within the "Earth of God" within "Us" within you.

Bawa.  And in this way, with "Us" within you revealing the "Fruit of God" and the "Sweet Taste of God" within "That Fruit", and again the "Seed", all within you, and again revealing the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's.  Amen.

Bawa.  And this is the truth of "Who you are", and "Where you are", and "What is happening" in your life, not your current life of "separation and differences", of selfishness, of sin, in the illusory world that you now see on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, no matter what, no matter what "We" teach you to the contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One.

Bawa.  Like "We" are teaching you right now, if you like, in this Spiritual Letter, and in all of the other beautiful "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) and
"
Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com) that "We" have given to you as the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.com), teaching you that in truth "You and God" are One.

Bawa.  But instead of joining in partnership with God within you to start to live this
way, to start to live the truth of you, as "One with", both within and for a little while on the "outside" of you, you continue to live the falsehood of you, that is, 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, all of which is "Just Not True".  

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
11.  Stop All This Silliness - that you are current doing in the world, because
Time Is Running Ou
t, and "The Beast" is coming, "The Beast" is coming, "The Breast" is coming, from within at least one of My Children, and that is for sure, and he is looking to harvest you as "his crop", and "his property" before he is destroyed by
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him), and he drags you off screaming back down the birth canal to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join with "Us" within you, so "We" can grow "Our Crop" within you, and harvest "You" as "Our Property" before "The Beast" has his way with you

Bawa.  And Stop all the silliness that you are currently doing in the world, like growing a family, attending a Church, a Temple, or a Mosque on Sunday, Saturday, or Friday, or trying to be a good citizen, or a good friend, or a good wife, or a good husband, or a good child, even a good Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), all of which had it time, when "We" were living in the world, and perhaps to some degree for some of you for the last 20 years, since "We" left the world, but not any more.

Bawa.  Because time if running out, and "The Beast" is certainly going to come out of at least one of My Children, and destroy the "outside" of you, for all of you, and "We" still have a lot to do within each of you, before "The Beast" appears and harvests you as "his crop", as "his property".

Bawa.  Because if you haven't truly become "Our Property" within "Us" within you, before "The Beast" appears on the "outside" of you, if you haven't joined as "One with" Us within you to grow "Our Crop" within "Us" within you, so "We" can "Harvest You" as "Our Crop" within "Us" within you, and pull you back into "Us", before "The Beast" appears, or before you die to the flesh, then "We" will have no choice but to let "The Beast" harvest you as "his crop", and take you to hell with him, that is, after Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), who has already come out of at least one of My Children, destroys "The Beast" and sends him back down the birth canal to hell.

Bawa.  That is, a "Heart's Work" which "We" will most certainly do for you, and for each of My Children, that is, as "One with" You within "Us" within you, once you let "Us", once you truly accept and surrender to "Us", both within you, and for a little while still on the "outside" of you, that is, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for only then can "We" start to do this "Heart's Work" within you, a work that only "We" can do within you. Ok?

Bawa.  And as far as the current "outside" of you, and all of your current silliness on the "outside" of you, "Enough is Enough already", and "Wake up and smell the roses", as they say, for all of this silliness is now just leading you to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, and to the harvest of "The Beast" within you, to the "suffering of the grave" within you, where you will meet, face to face, the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within you, and then if you are not wise, become them, and then as a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost, roam the earth world within you until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you.

Bawa.  And then, if you are not wise, as part of Qiyamah, as part of "your judgment" within you, after you die to the "outside" of you, or after "The Beast" appears and has destroyed the "outside" of all of My Children, with you then taking on as part of your judgment 105 million rebirths, with you ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within you, in this way, with you ending with an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
12.  Understanding What Hell Is - "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", and even more profoundly, you have "separated your self" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of Yourself, which is "Your Oneness"
.
Bawa.  All of which in truth is hell within you, no matter what name you may choose to call it initially, like heaven, it is still hell, for as "We" taught you while "We" were living in the world,

          "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God".

Bawa.  And in this way, in one way or another, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, if you don't take advantage of the "Now Gift of God" in your life, and appropriately put down the "Previous Gift of God" in your life, all that you will have done with what "We" gave you, while "We" were living in the world, is ending up worshipping
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) not God, a mistake that most of the people did with the coming into the world of all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophet, and Lights of God, over and over again for 200 million years, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world. Ok?

Bawa.  And in this way, if you are not wise, with you ending up worshipping the "Finger Pointing To God", rather than God, or ending up publishing more and more books about what "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said", rather than "Becoming Him".

Bawa.  Rather than "Becoming Him", rather than becoming the true Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within "Us" within you, and as such, worshipping God within "Us" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, as "We" most certainly taught you to do when "We" were living in the world, and now as "We" are again teaching you to do, through My Children,
through those of
My Children who "Got it right", when "We" were still living in the world, and who can now help you too "Get it right", while They too are still living in the world, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not Theirs, as before the Choice was yours, not "Ours".

Bawa.  And in this way, what in truth "Is happening" in your life, if you like, if you will only let it happen in your life, if you will only join as "One with" it happening in your life, is "Us", not "you", which in truth "Is You", is the truth of you, for in truth "We are happening" in your life, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within "Us" within you, which in truth "Is Your Story", a Story that you and you alone have the key to open within you, not "Us".

Bawa.  For in truth it is only through your faith and trust in God that any of this can happen within you, that is, it is only through your faith and trust in "Us" within you, and in what "We" have placed within "Us" within you, which in truth is "Our Bank" within you, which in truth is "Who you are" within "Us" within you, that any of this can happen within you,

Bawa.  And in this way, it is only in your faith and trust in what "We are doing" with what is "Within Us" within you, that any of this can happen within you, which is "Us" telling "Our Story" again, but this time within you, which is the Story of the Oneness of "You and Us", the Story of "Our Oneness", which in truth is "Your Oneness", that any of this can happen within you, and not something more that "We" can do for you, like give you the qualities of God, or make you exalted or wise, or help you live better and more successful in the world, as you keep trying to make out, but which is "Just Not True".  And this is the truth of your life.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
13.  The Prayer of The True Disciple - "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru"", Especially What You Cannot Physically Give My Guru, Including A Share of All The Suffering And Difficulties In The World of His Children, Who Have Now Become
My Children
Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar

Bawa.  So this is what you can do Grasshopper, join with "Us" as you did last night, with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), over and over again, until your last breath, until only "We are there", and if you do, then in the End, you will be within "Us", as "Us", and not only that, but all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, in the End, will also be within "Us", as "Us", and everything that is now "separating" God from God within you, will have been "separated from" Us again, within you, and all that will be left is God, and "You" will be within it.  And this is the truth of your life.  Amen.

Bawa.  And in this way, as "We" taught you while "We" were living in the world, the only thing that the True Disciple asks for is the following,

          "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru"

Bawa.  And as "We" taught you and all of My Children in the Video that you watched at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship last night, on the "First day of the Rest of your life", at the beginning of this New Year, for both the Lunar and the Solar Calendars, for both the East and the West, for both the Muslim and the Christian beliefs in God, with Bawa telling you the following:

          "And one of the things that "We" asked God to give to "Us" was A Share of All
          The Physical Suffering And Difficuties In The World of My Children, like a share
          of a very bad cold that one of My Children was experiencing".

Bawa.  May you, and all of My Children, please do it like this, willingly and freely do it like this, willingly and freely take on a share of all of the physical suffering and difficulties in the world of My Children, as now yours, who now too for you are "My Children", and then "God will do everything Else", and then God will do "Everything Else" to make your life truly successful in your lifetime.

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" to make you, and all of "My Children", and all of the Creation of God within you, and within "Us", disappear again back into "Your Oneness", which in truth is God within you, and within "Us".  Amen.

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.  Please give "Our" love and salams to all of My Children.  Please tell them that
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa. And please join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us" to share this sharing with them, by continuing to come together in "Our Name", so "We can be there", and teach you "What you do not know".  Amen.

Bawa.  My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

1.  Opening Greetings - My love you
2.  The Focus of The Mind - is you getting better, and the focus of wisdom, is getting
rid of what has to leave, which in truth is Everything, which in truth is Everything which
has manifested within you, a reflection of which you now see in your ignorance and in
your arrogance about you ignorance as "you" living a life of "separation and differences"
on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, all of
which is "Just Not True"
3.  What The Physical Guru Brings - are the "Ideals of God", and what the Physical
Disciple brings is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world God
can do it again, that is, God can become God again, if you like, but this time within
you
4.  Establishing The Triple Flame Within You - with you becoming the Guru, with
the Guru becoming God, and with God becoming the True Disciple, all Three as One
within you, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the
Creation of God within you, if you like, for the Choice to let God use your life in this
way or not, that is, to finish what God has started within you, is your Choice, not God's
Choice. Amen.

5.  Mystical Experiences of The Disciple - can only occur as One with the Guru
within you, and as One with God within the Guru within you, as the Triple Flame of God
within you, that is, through the "Wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God" joined as
One within you, not if you and the Guru are two separate beings, not as long as you
have qualities different from the Guru, and certainly not through your mind and desire,
or through your physical senses, that is for sure, as My Children still mistakenly
believe
6.  "If Two Of You Come Together In My Name - I Will Be There", and so it was for
the Children of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and so it is now for
the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in
the year 2007, if you like, that is for sure.  "Try it, You Will Most Certainly Like It".
Amen
7.  "The Justice of God - is that whatever you intend is what you will receive", and in
this way, your own life answers the question, "What do you want for eternity?, because
what you End up with, in the End, whether it is God or hell, is exactly what you want,
no matter what you may be saying that you want, for a person is truly known by their actions, not by their words, and if your words are about God but your actions
are about "separation and differences" then in the End that is what you will get for
eternity, your actions not your words, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure

8.  God Is Closer To You - than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your
very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and that you
have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow have to again become acceptable
to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, in truth belongs to "Us",
and not to you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing" within you, and is never
about "you", and what you think "you are doing" on the illusory "outside" of you
9.  "Our Work" Is All Work - and "your work" is to know "Our Work", and at each
moment to hand "Us" what God has placed before you, recognizing it as "what must
leave", so what God has hidden within it "can come", and then with you becoming content until it does leave, and something new and wonderful does come, knowing that "Nothing will ever leave you until it is understood", and that "You can't put someting down unless you are also picking something else up", and that "God is the One who makes the "one who is speaking" silent, and the "One who is Silent" Speak".  That is,
with you
becoming truly content because of your gratitude for what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  And all of this is "Shukur", is about the 28th of the 28 letters that forms the mystical body of man, is about the quality of God known as "Shukur"
reappearing
within you, that is, is about the "Contentment and Gratitude of God" within you, that was lost to the dog of desire within you, when the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) plucked out the "spit of satan" from Adam (peace be upon Him), and threw it down, creating the dog within you

                                                                      - go to "Introduction"
10.  The Truth of "Who You Are" - and of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in our life, is what is "Within God" within you, and 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 you
11.  Stop All This Silliness - that you are current doing in the world, because "Time Is Running Out", and "The Beast" is coming, "The Beast" is coming, "The Breast" is coming, from within at least one of My Children, and that is for sure, and he is looking to harvest you as "his crop", and "his property" before he is destroyed by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and he drags you as "his property" off screaming back down the birth canal to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join with "Us" within you, so "We" can grow "Our Crop" within you, and harvest "You" as "Our Property" before "The Beast" has his way with you for eternity
12.  Understanding What Hell Is - "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", and even more profoundly, you have "separated your self" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of Yourself, which is "Your Oneness"
13.  The Prayer of The True Disciple - "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru", Especially What You Cannot Physically Give My Guru, Including A Share of All The Suffering And Difficulties In The World of His Children, Who Have Now Become My ChildrenAmen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar

E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 113

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 kulluhu.  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 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.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
2.  The Focus of The Mind - is you getting better, and the focus of wisdom, is
getting rid of what has to leave, which in truth is Everything, which in truth is Everything
which has manifested within you, a reflection of which you now see in your ignorance
and in your arrogance about you ignorance as "you" living a life of "separation and
differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within
you, all of which is "Just Not True"

Bawa. You are a very, very good Child of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh
Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with
Us) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His
Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), if
you like, which in truth is all of the Children living in your age, if you like.

Bawa.  Thank you for the very beautiful sharing that you had last night with "Our"
dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God
be pleased with Him, and with Us), which revealed with great clarity such a wonderful
and important number of wisdom points, for all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  That is, about "How to Walk The Path of God", both within you and for a little
while longer, on the "outside" of you, not by getting better, which is always the focus of
the mind, but rather by getting rid of what has to leave, which is always the focus of
wisdom, in partnership with God within you, so truly "God is Present" within you, for
the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, which in truth includes all of My
Children living in the world.

Bawa.  So "God can Speak" from within you to all of the Creation of God within you,
and for a little while to all of your brothers and sisters living in the world, and in this
way, and only in this way, start to "Pass Judgment" upon them before you die to the
flesh, for such is the only true value of your life, and the life of each of My Children.
Amen.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
3.  What The Physical Guru Brings - are the "Ideals of God", and what the Physical Disciple brings is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world God can do it again, that is, God can become God again, if you like, but this time within you

Bawa.  For what God brings into the world through the Physical Guru are the "Ideals of God", and what God brings into the world through the Physical Disciple is everything discarded by God, so when They meet in the world, in the Name of God, God can do it again, God can again become God, if you like, but this time within you, that is, so God can discard again, if you like, what God has discarded before to become God to all of the Creation of God living within Him, but this time within you, if you like, this time allowing God to again become God to all of the Creation of God within Him, but this time within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's.

BawaBut this time within you, that is, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join Him, as "One with" Him, if you will only join Him as the True Disciple and start handing to God within you, which is now the True Guru within you, everything God has to discard from within you, to again establish God within you, and to again establish all of the Creation of God within Him within you, that is, to now allow God to become God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, to allow the True Disciple within you, to become God within you to all of the Creation of God within you. Amen.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
4.  Establishing The Triple Flame Within You - with you becoming the Guru, with the Guru becoming God, and with God becoming the True Disciple, all Three as One within you, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, if you like, for the Choice to let God use your life in this way or not, that is, to finish what God has started within you, is your Choice,
no
t God's Choice. Amen.

Bawa. In this way, establishing the "Triple Flame of God" within you, that is, God, the Guru, and the True Disciple within you, as One within you, as "We" beautifully explained to you, when "We" were living with you in the world, and as now recorded for you in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for November, 2006, as follows,

Beginning of Quotation
From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)

"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true gnana guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher.  When you take refuge in such a guru you will see God.  You become the guru, disappearing in him while the guru disappears in God, (and God becomes the true disciple).  Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the guru is a flame, the disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the triple flame.  Children, please understand this extraordinary process".

(may God be pleased with Him)

Bawa.  So this is how it works Grasshopper, you become the Guru within you, your Guru becomes God within you, and God becomes the True Disciple within you, as One, as the "Triple Flame of God" within you, if you like, for the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, is use it to let God within you discard everything from within you that is separating God from God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, is your Choice, not God's Choice.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
5.  Mystical Experiences of The Disciple - can only occur as One with the Guru within you, and as One with God within the Guru within you, as the Triple Flame of God within you, that is, through the "Wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God" joined as One within you, not if you and the Guru are two separate beings, not as long as you
have qualities different from the Guru, and certainly not through your mind and desire,
or through your physical senses, that is for sure, as My Children still mistakenly
believe

Bawa.  And in this state, as the Triple Flame of God within you, now you can start to experience all of the wonderful things that "We" shared with My Children when "We" were living in the world, all of the wonderful Mystical Experiences that literally define for you the "Path of God" within you, which each of My Children must walk and experience if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime.  Ok?

Bawa.  For example, like the answer to the question that "We" gave to My Children that is recorded in the "Introduction" to the book "A Mystical Journey", as follows:

[Note: To access an on-line copy of this "Introduction" and some of the Chapters in this beautiful book of wisdom, by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and by God within Him, please click above or on the following, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.
homestead.com).  Once there, go to the on-line Table of Contents, and click on the available material.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen]

Beginning of Quotation
From: M. R. Bawa. Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)
In The "Introduction" To The Book,
"A Mystical Journey"

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Disciple:

I want to ask Bawa one or two questions about his mystical experiences.  First, we're interested to know whether he actually lived these experiences, or are these words just symbols of other realities?

His Holiness:

These are not symbols, these were paths I saw and traveled along. I have experienced these directly, they aren't just stories. But it is not good to speak too much about these things.

We are not this body, which is made up of earth, fire, water, air, and ether.

When man dreams, he sees many different and wonderful things. But those marvelous visions are merely his thoughts being visualized. As soon as he reaches out to grab them, he awakens to find them gone.

The experiences I had are not like those dreams. For in them, the picture that was taken, actually exists, and still exists. The people are real, the history is real.

The earth-fire-water-air-ether mind is always sleeping. That mind is not really the person.

And these mystical experiences are not known through that mind, but rather through wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God, which together fly round and round looking at the cities of illusion and at the wondrous cities of God.

They discover the secrets of those cities and uncover layer after layer of explanations, of what is right and what is wrong, what is illusion and what is truth.

They determine which water is good, and which is poisonous, which will give the good taste, and which will give the bad taste.

Thus wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God inquire into everything. and facing each directly they conclude,

          "This is what the seven hells are, and these are the eight heavens."

Then they ask,

          "What do these eight heavens mean? What do they signify?"

Now, heaven and hell look the same, but their taste is different. Hell might appear to be resplendent, but once you see the light of truth, hell disappears. As long as there is no truth, hell shines in its own light, but we shouldn't accept that as the true light.

A man who doesn't know what gold is, might think that copper is gold, or all that glitter is gold. But a wise man will test it.

First he will rub the metal against a stone, and then drop some acid over it. If it is real gold it will not be marred, but if it is not, it will dissolve under that acid.

Like this, when the wisdom of the soul, and the essence of truth pick up something, they first rub it on a testing stone, and then pour the acid of wisdom over it. Whatever dissolves is false. Whatever stays without disappearing is true.

These are direct, face to face scenes I experienced. All the secrets of God's creation can be revealed through the soul, wisdom, and grace.

But these things cannot be revealed to the body, to desire, or to the mind. They are not revealed through the senses, which relate to the earth.

The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings.

Not everyone will be able to discover the inner meanings. It is rare to find someone who can attain that full power. Whoever does have this ability is a Qutb, One who has achieved divine analytic wisdom.

I am not like that, I am still a student, still learning. I am only relating to you what I have already learned on my path.

There is much more to learn. What we have learned so far amounts to a mere handful of earth. Our heart consists of just one handful.

No matter how much we have studied, all that we have learned though our mind, and desire, and body, amounts to no more than a fistful of earth.

Once you transcend this and start studying beyond, then what you learn will amount to all that is in the entire universe. What remains to be studied, after transcending this handful of earth, amounts to the whole world.

This is how it is, my brother. Amin.

6.  "If Two Of You Come Together In My Name - I Will Be There", and so it was for the Children of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and so it is
now
for the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in the year 2007, if you like, that is for sure.  "Try it, You Will Most Certainly Like It".  Amen

Bawa.  So what are you to do Grasshopper?  What you did last night, that is, to come together in My Name, so "We can be there", and teach you what "You do not know", that is what you are to do, if you like, just like the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) did with the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) in "His Cave", squeezing Him tightly, saying to Him Three Times, to Read, that is,

          "Read, Read, In the Name of God who created man from a sensitive drop of blood
          and teaches him what he does not know, Read".

Bawa. And "We" will come and teach each of My Children "What you do not know", it is just this simple, but instead if you focus on becoming better, or wiser, or good, or important, then what is God to do with you in the End, but give you what you want, and if what you want is hell, and all the qualities of hell, then that is what in the End you will receive, which is all of the "separation and differences" of the world that you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, as "you", as all of the societies of hell that you now call "your world", then that is what God will most certainly give you in the End, for eternity, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
7. "The Justice of God - is that whatever you intend is what you will receive."
and in this way, your own life answers the question, "What do you want for eternity?, because what you End up with, in the End, whether it is God or hell, is exactly what you want, no matter what you may be saying that you want, for a person is truly known by their actions, not by their words, and if your words are about God but your actions
are about "separation and differences" then in the End that is what you will get for
eternity, your actions not your words, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure

Bawa.  For as "We" taught while "We" were living in the world,

          "The Justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive."

Bawa.  For what is God to do, if you continue to believe in your "own existence" on the "outside" of you as "separate from" God's existence within you, "An Existence" which in truth is an existence of "Oneness with" within "Us" within you, rather than an existence of "separation from" on the illusory "outside" of you, for in truth this is the only sin in your life, in the life of each of My Children, which is your apparent "separation from" God within you, which is also reflected in your apparent "separation from" each other, and from the Creation of God that "We" have placed within you, all of which is "Just Not True", all of which in truth is just an act, an act of "separation from", which results in a life of "separation from", but in truth is not real, in truth is not really happening.

Bawa.  For as "We" taught while "We" were living in the world,

          "All that you see is a dream,
          All that you do is just a thought within that dream,
          All that you appear as is hidden".

          "Life is a feast of the world,
          Its medicine is a time after a time".

          (Its medicine is the remembrance of God within you,
          And of what is "Within God" within you,
          And 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 you,
          With every breath, with every look, with every word,
          With every taste, and with every thought,
          For the rest of your life,
          Until your very last breath. Amen)".

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
8.  God Is Closer To You - than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow again have to become acceptable to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, belongs to "Us", and not you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing", and never about "you", and what you think "you are doing", on the illusory "outside" of you

Bawa.  For in truth "We" are closer to you than your very breath, your very thoughts, and even your very life, so why are you treating "Us" as if you are "separate from" Us, and have to somehow travel back to "Us", and somehow again have to become acceptable to "Us", when in truth your very life, and everything within you, in truth belongs to "Us", and not you, and is about "Us" and "What We are doing", and never about "you", and what you think "you are doing".

Bawa.  For in truth you are the one who has left "Us", you are the one who has turned away from "Us", establishing your "own presence" as separate from "Our Presence", establishing your "own intention" as separate from "Our Intention", establishing your "own story" as separate from "Our Story".  This is your work, not "Our Work".

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
9.  "Our Work" Is All Work - and "your work" is to know "Our Work", and at
each momen
t to hand "Us" what God has placed before you, recognizing it as "what must leave", so what God has hidden within it "can come", and then with you
becoming content until it does leave, and something new and wonderful does come,

knowing that
"Nothing will ever leave you until it is understood", and that "You can't put someting down unless you are also picking something else up", and that "God is the One who makes the "one who is speaking" silent, and the "One who is Silent" Speak". That is, with you becoming truly content because of your gratitude for what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you.  And all of this is "Shukur", is about the 28th of the 28 letters that forms the mystical body of man, is about "Shukur" reappearing within you, that is, is about the "Contentment and Gratitude of God" that was lost to the dog of desire within you when the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) within you plucked out the "spit of satan" from Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, and threw it down, creating the dog within you

Bawa.  For "Our Work" is to reveal "Us" within you, as "You" within "Us", for the
benefit of all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, and your work should be to "Know Our Work", which is "All Work" within you, and to join as "One with" Us in "Our Work", and in this way, and only in this way, allowing "Us" to complete "Our Work" within you, not what you are currently doing.

Bawa.  For what you are currently doing is just the opposite of this, for now "your work" is to deny "Our Work", and to turn it all around, so in truth you are the "one struggling", you are the one who needs help, while in truth it is just the opposite, for in truth it is "We who are struggling", not you, and it is "We" who need help, not you, because without your help nothing that "We" have placed within you can "Come Home", nothing that "We" placed within you can "Be Saved", nothing that "We" have place within you can stand directly in "Our Presence" again, and hear "Our Words" again, and be given the opportunity to "Fall back again into Us", but this time "As Our Understanding".

Bawa.  In this way, and only in this way, with "Everything" completing why "Everything Originally Left Us", that is, to "Complete Their Duty" and return to "Us", that is, to give up "Their Understanding" to wisdom, and fall back into "Us", again becoming "Us", like a rain cloud gives up its rain, falling back into the ocean, from which it came, having completed its duty, having given up its moisture for the benefit of all creations, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as rain, as "separate from" the ocean.  And this is the truth of your life.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
10.  The Truth of "Who You Are" - and of "Where you are", and of "What is happening" in our life, is what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you

Bawa.  Because "Who you are" in truth is "Us happening" again, but this time within you, because "Who you are" and "Where you are" in truth is the "Seed of God" within "Us" buried within the "Earth of God" within "Us" within you, which is the Creation of God within "Us", just waiting to germinate to this "Truth of you", just waiting to reveal the "Tree of God" growing within the "Earth of God" within "Us" within you.

Bawa.  And in this way, with "Us" within you revealing the "Fruit of God" and the "Sweet Taste of God" within "That Fruit", and again the "Seed", all within you, and again revealing the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's.  Amen.

Bawa.  And this is the truth of "Who you are", and "Where you are", and "What is happening" in your life, not your current life of "separation and differences", of selfishness, of sin, in the illusory world that you now see on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, no matter what, no matter what "We" teach you to the contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One.

Bawa.  Like "We" are teaching you right now, if you like, in this Spiritual Letter, and in all of the other beautiful "Spiritual Letters" (www.SpiritualLetters.homestead.com) and
"
Spiritual Chats" (www.SpiritualChats.homestead.com) that "We" have given to you as the "On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" (www.Bawa.homestead.com), teaching you that in truth "You and God" are One.

Bawa.  But instead of joining in partnership with God within you to start to live this
way, to start to live the truth of you, as "One with", both within and for a little while on the "outside" of you, you continue to live the falsehood of you, that is, 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, all of which is "Just Not True".

11.  Stop All This Silliness - that you are current doing in the world, because
Time Is Running Ou
t, and "The Beast" is coming, "The Beast" is coming, "The Breast" is coming, from within at least one of My Children, and that is for sure, and he is looking to harvest you as "his crop", and "his property" before he is destroyed by
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him), and he drags you off screaming back down the birth canal to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join with "Us" within you, so "We" can grow "Our Crop" within you, and harvest "You" as "Our Property" before "The Beast" has his way with you

Bawa.  And Stop all the silliness that you are currently doing in the world, like growing a family, attending a Church, a Temple, or a Mosque on Sunday, Saturday, or Friday, or trying to be a good citizen, or a good friend, or a good wife, or a good husband, or a good child, even a good Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), all of which had it time, when "We" were living in the world, and perhaps to some degree for some of you for the last 20 years, since "We" left the world, but not any more.

Bawa.  Because time if running out, and "The Beast" is certainly going to come out of at least one of My Children, and destroy the "outside" of you, for all of you, and "We" still have a lot to do within each of you, before "The Beast" appears and harvests you as "his crop", as "his property".

Bawa.  Because if you haven't truly become "Our Property" within "Us" within you, before "The Beast" appears on the "outside" of you, if you haven't joined as "One with" Us within you to grow "Our Crop" within "Us" within you, so "We" can "Harvest You" as "Our Crop" within "Us" within you, and pull you back into "Us", before "The Beast" appears, or before you die to the flesh, then "We" will have no choice but to let "The Beast" harvest you as "his crop", and take you to hell with him, that is, after Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), who has already come out of at least one of My Children, destroys "The Beast" and sends him back down the birth canal to hell.

Bawa.  That is, a "Heart's Work" which "We" will most certainly do for you, and for each of My Children, that is, as "One with" You within "Us" within you, once you let "Us", once you truly accept and surrender to "Us", both within you, and for a little while still on the "outside" of you, that is, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for only then can "We" start to do this "Heart's Work" within you, a work that only "We" can do within you. Ok?

Bawa.  And as far as the current "outside" of you, and all of your current silliness on the "outside" of you, "Enough is Enough already", and "Wake up and smell the roses", as they say, for all of this silliness is now just leading you to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, and to the harvest of "The Beast" within you, to the "suffering of the grave" within you, where you will meet, face to face, the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within you, and then if you are not wise, become them, and then as a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost, roam the earth world within you until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you.

Bawa.  And then, if you are not wise, as part of Qiyamah, as part of "your judgment" within you, after you die to the "outside" of you, or after "The Beast" appears and has destroyed the "outside" of all of My Children, with you then taking on as part of your judgment 105 million rebirths, with you ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within you, in this way, with you ending with an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.

                                                                      - go to "Brief Outline"
12.  Understanding What Hell Is - "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", and even more profoundly, you have "separated your self" from Yourself, from the truth and reality of Yourself, which is "Your Oneness"
.
Bawa.  All of which in truth is hell within you, no matter what name you may choose to call it initially, like heaven, it is still hell, for as "We" taught you while "We" were living in the world,

          "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God".

Bawa.  And in this way, in one way or another, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, if you don't take advantage of the "Now Gift of God" in your life, and appropriately put down the "Previous Gift of God" in your life, all that you will have done with what "We" gave you, while "We" were living in the world, is ending up worshipping
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) not God, a mistake that most of the people did with the coming into the world of all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophet, and Lights of God, over and over again for 200 million years, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into the world. Ok?

Bawa.  And in this way, if you are not wise, with you ending up worshipping the "Finger Pointing To God", rather than God, or ending up publishing more and more books about what "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said", rather than "Becoming Him".

Bawa.  Rather than "Becoming Him", rather than becoming the true Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within "Us" within you, and as such, worshipping God within "Us" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, as "We" most certainly taught you to do when "We" were living in the world, and now as "We" are again teaching you to do, through My Children,
through those of
My Children who "Got it right", when "We" were still living in the world, and who can now help you too "Get it right", while They too are still living in the world, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not Theirs, as before the Choice was yours, not "Ours".

Bawa.  And in this way, what in truth "Is happening" in your life, if you like, if you will only let it happen in your life, if you will only join as "One with" it happening in your life, is "Us", not "you", which in truth "Is You", is the truth of you, for in truth "We are happening" in your life, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within "Us" within you, which in truth "Is Your Story", a Story that you and you alone have the key to open within you, not "Us".

Bawa.  For in truth it is only through your faith and trust in God that any of this can happen within you, that is, it is only through your faith and trust in "Us" within you, and in what "We" have placed within "Us" within you, which in truth is "Our Bank" within you, which in truth is "Who you are" within "Us" within you, that any of this can happen within you,

Bawa.  And in this way, it is only in your faith and trust in what "We are doing" with what is "Within Us" within you, that any of this can happen within you, which is "Us" telling "Our Story" again, but this time within you, which is the Story of the Oneness of "You and Us", the Story of "Our Oneness", which in truth is "Your Oneness", that any of this can happen within you, and not something more that "We" can do for you, like give you the qualities of God, or make you exalted or wise, or help you live better and more successful in the world, as you keep trying to make out, but which is "Just Not True".  And this is the truth of your life.

13.  The Prayer of The True Disciple - "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru"", Especially What You Cannot Physically Give My Guru, Including A Share of All The Suffering And Difficulties In The World of His Children, Who Have Now Become
My Children
Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar

Bawa.  So this is what you can do Grasshopper, join with "Us" as you did last night, with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), over and over again, until your last breath, until only "We are there", and if you do, then in the End, you will be within "Us", as "Us", and not only that, but all of the Creation of God within "Us" within you, in the End, will also be within "Us", as "Us", and everything that is now "separating" God from God within you, will have been "separated from" Us again, within you, and all that will be left is God, and "You" will be within it.  And this is the truth of your life.  Amen.

Bawa.  And in this way, as "We" taught you while "We" were living in the world, the only thing that the True Disciple asks for is the following,

          "O God, Give Me What You Give My Guru"

Bawa.  And as "We" taught you and all of My Children in the Video that you watched at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship last night, on the "First day of the Rest of your life", at the beginning of this New Year, for both the Lunar and the Solar Calendars, for both the East and the West, for both the Muslim and the Christian beliefs in God, with Bawa telling you the following:

          "And one of the things that "We" asked God to give to "Us" was A Share of All
          The Physical Suffering And Difficuties In The World of My Children, like a share
          of a very bad cold that one of My Children was experiencing".

Bawa.  May you, and all of My Children, please do it like this, willingly and freely do it like this, willingly and freely take on a share of all of the physical suffering and difficulties in the world of My Children, as now yours, who now too for you are "My Children", and then "God will do everything Else", and then God will do "Everything Else" to make your life truly successful in your lifetime.

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" to make you, and all of "My Children", and all of the Creation of God within you, and within "Us", disappear again back into "Your Oneness", which in truth is God within you, and within "Us".  Amen.

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.  Please give "Our" love and salams to all of My Children.  Please tell them that
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa. And please join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us" to share this sharing with them, by continuing to come together in "Our Name", so "We can be there", and teach you "What you do not know".  Amen.

Bawa.  My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
