In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. 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 us all. May God help us all. Here is a beautiful letter that was written from the heart of this child to the hearts of our dearest loving sisters Ummul Khair Muhaiyaddeen (Rumi) and Maimuna, to the One Open Heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), a letter which Bawa within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to also share with each of you. 1-0. We Have To Let God Finish - what he has already started within each of us, which is His "Heart's Work" within us, only then, when we join as "One with" Him to do this, to complete this "Heart's Work" within us, will our life become successful in our own lifetime For Bawa teachers us that only by joining as "One with" God within us, that is, by joining as "One with" with our wisdom within us, and as "One with" the truth of God within our wisdom, will our life become successful in our own lifetime, so God can finish what He has started within us a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. That is, in this way, only by doing this in partnership with God within us, doing this "Heart's Work" within us as "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside of us, will our life become successful in our own lifetime, only then will we have successfully moved from the 71st and the 72nd groups of the 73 groups within all human beings, and into the 73rd group within us, into the group within us who only trust and love in God within us. Amen. 2-0. The Fate of the First 72 Groups Within Us - is to spend eternity as "separate from" God within us, and the fate of the 71st and the 72nd group within these 72 groups within us, is to first go to the "suffering of the grave" within us and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, as well as 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within us, all as part of spending eternity as "separate from" God within us Only then will we have successfully moved from the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, which are the two groups within us living in the "world of righteousness" within us, the two groups within us who are guilty of the "sin of righteousness" within us, that is, of trying to have it both ways, before they die to the "outside" of us, trying to trust and love in both God within us, and in the world on the "outside" of us, so they can continue to sin. So they can continue to live a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, only to get neither after they die, neither God or heaven when they die, instead after meeting the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) the members of these two groups within us, the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, must experience the "suffering of the grave" within themselves, and then after it is all over, they must experience Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within themselves, and in this way experiencing 105 million rebirths within themselves, ending as a worm in hell with only 1 level of consciousness, or feeling, all as part of spending eternity as "separate from" God within themselves, They must experience the "suffering of the grave" within themselves, where they meet for the first time the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within themselves, who were their "might and helper" when they were still living on the "outside" of themselves, as is explained so beautifully to us by God in the Holy Qur'an, in but who now in the grave are free to roam the world and bring them great hardship. They must experience Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within themselves, where each of the Creation of God within them will testify against them within them, with them not being allowed by God to speak in their our defense, and with them then receiving as their reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, in this way, receiving as their reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, all as part of spending an eternal life of "separation from" God within themselves, for hell is simple the realization that we have separated ourselves from God, which in truth is separating ourselves from ourselves. And instead of all this, of this "suffering of the grave", of Qiyamah (the Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment), of 105 million rebirths, where we have put our eternity in the hands of the Angels of God (peace be upon Them) within us, who have a very rigid interpretation of the "Justice of God" within us, an interpretation which has been brought down by God specifically for them within us, since they have been given the duty by God of ruling heaven and hell within us, of dealing with those who refuse to give up their "separation from" God up to the very end, an interpretation that has come down to them as a "Book of Rules", a "Book of Rules" that they then use to deal out for eternity our punishment for our temporary life of "separation and differences" in the world on the "outside" of us, a life and a world that we have ourselves, in our ignorance, grown and brought to maturity within us. What a waste of what God has truly given into the hands of each of us, which is God and what God is doing within us, and how does this within us, of what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God within us. 3-0. The Destiny of Our Soul Within Us - is for our wisdom surrounding our soul to awaken to the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of God for our age, with "us" joining as "One with" our wisdom, in order to do battle and win over the "Enemy of our soul" within us, which is currently experienced as "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us with our dear brothers and sisters, in this way, allowing our soul to become "One with" our wisdom within us, establishing the Light of God within us for our age, which in truth is the Palace of the soul within us, the House of wisdom, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, allowing Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us to go on the journey of Mi'raj within us, establishing the "Secret World of Allah" within us, and True Prayer within us, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, revealing God to God within us for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen Instead of all this, may we all join in partnership with God within us, may we all join as "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, realizing before we die what in our ignorance have done to ourselves, to God and to all of the "Stuff of God" within us, and to the Creation of God within us, and shift our focus off of "us" as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, onto the truth of us, which is "us" as "One with" God within us, and do all of this before we die to the "outside" of us. In this way, allowing God within us to finish what God has already started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God within us, and in the process awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, in order to liberate our soul from the cross of our impure birth, and let it joined as "One with" our wisdom, ending our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, closing down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, and re-opening the world of souls within us. In this way, establishing the palace of the soul within us, the house of wisdom within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, establishing the Light of God to the world within us, and let it join as "One with" the light of our wisdom, as "One with" the Nur Muhammad within us, which God in His infinite Mercy and Compassion has placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, ending within us the dunya, the 18,000 universes within us, and opening up the "Secret world of Allah" within us, and True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, all of which is the journey of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us over 1400 years ago, but which must now happen within us, in our lifetime, if our life is to become successful, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. And in this way, allowing True Prayer to start within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, allowing God to reveal True Man within the Creation of God (the earth world or the dunya) within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, allowing True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man (the next world or akhirah) within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation) within us, in this way, revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen. 4-0. Bawa Quotations - from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The "Pearl of Wisdom" 4-1. Forward - "He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man" For as Bawa teaches us on page 6, the "Forward" of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man. This "Guru Man or Pearl of Wisdom" is (provided) to explain this concept (of the Oneness of God, of the Unity of God within us) in detail." 4-2. Invocation To The Guru - "To let grace spring forth, to let darkness vanish ..." And as Bawa also teaches us on page 11, in the "Invocation To The Guru", in the same book by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom", teaching us about "how" all of this happens within us, by us "letting it happen" within us, because in truth we must get God within us to do all of this within us, because in truth "we do not exist" either within us or on the "outside" of us, for in truth it is He alone who exists within us, and it is He who has already started something within us, not us, and it is He who placed within us what He needs to complete what He has started within us, not us, and it is He who knows how to use what He has placed within us to finish what He has started within us, not us. Such is the glory and the power and the grace of our God within us. Amen. So our work is to know His work, and His work is all work, our work is to get God to do it again, do His work again, but this time within us, our work is to get all of "us", to get all that is within us, that God has placed there, into God's hands within us, so God within us can then complete what He is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Our work is to get all of this, all of this "Stuff of God" within us, which includes the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God, and the 18,000 universes within us, and all of the Creation of God within us, back squarely into God's hands within us, and out of our hands on the "outside" of us, then everything will proceed as planned, as both planned and as executed by God within us. Amen. For as Bawa teaches us on page 11, in this beautiful invocation to the Guru, to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, which this child recites each day, and some times many times each day, while sitting at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, Invocation To The Guru: Disciple: "To let Grace spring forth, To let darkness vanish, To let the love of Guru grow, To let Qualities be purified, O Graceful Guru, give me a remedy." "Swami, show us a way to dispel the darkness in the world." Guru: "O Son, I shall sing a song, and then answer you question." "For the Silent One to appear as Grace, To find the world as a tiny thing, To destroy sorrow which is a maiden, With help from the Master Guru's graceful ways, Seek and learn standing on the path, And ask with a melting heart." "Let the body become the true mystery, Dominant with grace. Let the seed be destroyed Blinding both eyes. Enshrine in thy heart The lamp of Guru's graceful words. With a heart of love See Aathi as a thing" "Spread the Guru's words with delightful heart, Unfurl the flag of Guru's words everywhere. Then the fate that accompanies thee Shall turn into dust." My true and perfect pupils, gems of my eyes, ask for the remedy in order to shine everywhere. Amen. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Amen Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. 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 us all. May God help us all. My love you my dearest loving sisters Ummul Khair Muhaiyaddeen (Rumi) and Maimuna - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). In our prayers today Bawa instructed this child to write this letter to you, using the Quotation for this month, that is, the quotation in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar for December, 2004, from the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the basis for this letter, and then to expand upon it, on each wisdom point in the quotation given to us by Bawa, from the clarity that has grown within the heart of this child over the last 29 years, trying to live at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. 2. To Have Wisdom Is To Have Bawa - is to have Bawa within us, and to have God within Him, and to not have wisdom is to not have Bawa and God in this way within us, but rather is to have the illusion of being alone on the "outside" of us. It is just that simple For as Bawa told us one day "In-the-room", when He told one of the children to speak some wisdom, and the child said to Bawa, "Oh Bawa, we don't have any wisdom, only you have wisdom." And Bawa said to the child, "If you don't have any wisdom, then we might as well go back to Ceylon, because you have not learned anything by my being hear with you in America." 3. We Must Know How To Strengthen Our Faith & Trust In God - or our life will become like a "roller coaster" and we will never find peace and stability in our life We will start this letter off with a short story, about how Bawa told us one day how to strengthen our "weakness of faith", a weakness that can overcome us if we are not careful, if we are not conducting our life wisely, if we are not constantly trying to live at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, within us, and at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, if we are not invoking the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, so that everything that we "say or do" is being "said and done" by God within us, not by us on the "outside" of us. Realizing with our Iman, with our absolute, complete, unshakable faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth "Only God exists" within us, and that "God is One" within us, realizing that to invoke the "Presence of God" within us that we first have to learn how "not to be there". For as Bawa teaches us, "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there." So our work, if we will only accept it, is learning how "not to be there", and then "God will be there". This is God's promise for our age, God's guarantee. And the way that Bawa teaches us to do this, that is, how Bawa teaches us "not to be there", is for our mind and desire to sit down, and the only thing that will cause our mind and desire to sit down is when wisdom stands up within us. 4. "Before You Do Anything, Call Me" - and "We" can do it together, as "One with" each other, only then will your wisdom stand up, and only then will your mind and desire sit down, in this way, only then will your life move forward on the "Path of God" within you, only then will your life become successful in your own lifetime. Amen This is why Bawa teaches us that before we "say or do" anything that we must call Him, in this way, we must invoke the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. So when we do "say or do" something in the world on the "outside" of us, then in truth it is being "said or done" by "us" joined as "One with" God within us, it is being "said and done" by "us" joined as "One with" Bawa within us, and as "One with" God within Him, it is being "said and done" by the "Holy Trinity", the "Triple Flame" of God within us, by the Light of God for the Children of God for our age. Amen. And in this way, it is not being "said and done" by "us" as "separate from" God within us, it is not being "said and done" by "us" living a life of "separation and differences" with our dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, it is not being "said or done" by our mind and desire within us, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the "outside" of us and get an eternal life of "separation from" God as our reward. Then and only then, when we become "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, will our life truly move forward on the "Path of God" within us, then and only then, will our life truly become successful in our own lifetime. Amen. In this way, as quoted in one of the earlier versions of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, about 8 to 10 years ago, as follows, and as expanded upon by this child as follows, we must always say the word "Bawa", or the word "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or the word "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) before we "say or do" anything in the world on the "outside" of us, in this way establishing the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. Then we have beciome "safe" within the "Heart of our Shaikh" while still living in the world on the "outside" of us. Amen. Then our wisdom will stand up within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down within us, in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. This "way of conducting our life" in the world on the "outside" of us, as "One with" Bawa within us, and as "One with" God within Him, is beautifully explained to us by Bawa in the following "Bawa Quotation". And it is further explained to us by our dear brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), in the following "Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon". God willng further explained to us by our dear brother living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, further explained to us by Bawa within us, and by God within Him, from within the "Heart of our Shaikh", from within our dear brother in a state of "submission to the will of Allah". Amen. --- beginning of Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen --- Bawa Quotation: "Before you do anything call me, call me Jesus (peace be upon Him), call me Murugan (peace be upon Him), which is one of the 201 names of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), call me Qutb Muhaiyaddeen, call me Nur Muhammad (the light of our wisdom), or call me Bawa Adam (may God be pleased with Him), in truth it doesn't matter which of these names you use, but call me, before you do anything, please call me". Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) "When the clarity of your soul develops within you, you will realize that in truth, within you, all of these names are the same, they are all reflections of the One within you, which is the Light of God for your age, which is the "Gift of God" for your age for the Children of God for your age, which is the life and teaching of God both within you and on the "outside" of you for your age, that must awaken within you, as the wisdom surrounding your soul, which you must join as "One with" with within you to liberate your soul from the cross of its impure birth, that you must join with to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is the life of "separation and differences" that each of you are currently living with your dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you." "The world that you see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you but which in truth is the world of hell and the world of righteousness within you, the world of sin, and the "sin of righteousness' within you, the world of darkness and of evil within you, that in your ignorance you have grown within you, but which in truth is just the first 70 groups within you, and just the 71st and the 72nd groups within you, that make up 72 of the 73 groups within all human lives, the 72 groups within you that you must escape from within you, that you must move out of within you, that you must stop living as "one with" within you, and instead move into the 73rd group within you, instead begin to live as "One with" the 73rd group within you, the only group within you who only trust and love in God within you, and who have no trust or love for the world on the "outside" of you, and with you doing all of this before you physically die to the "outside" of you". [Note: for more on "Understanding The Sin of Righteousness" within us, the sin of the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, and for more on all of the 73 groups within us, please read the beautiful wisdom letter written recently to two of my High School Classmates, and their wives, by this child Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) after having received from them a copy of the "Gospel of John" from the Holy Bible, to read over the summer, which we did, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. To directly access this letter please click on the following: Spiritual Letter 60, "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com). Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] "Please try to do it like this, before it is too late, before you meet the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) in your current state of "separation and differences" living on the "outside" of you, living as if you are "separate from" God within you, living as if you are "separate from" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, living as if you are "separate from" your dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and living as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, that God has lovingly and patiently placed within each of you even before you were born, even before you came to this earth world or the dunya". "Living as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you which is what you must become "One with" before you die to the "outside" of you, for this is where the "Seed of God" within you must germinate, after you realize, understand, accept, and join as "One with" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, and the truth of God within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Tree of God" within you, which in maturity becomes the "Fruit of God" within you, in this way, with "you" within you allowing the "truth to surrender to the truth" within you, that is, if you will only germinate, if you will only die to the "outside" of you before you physically die to the "outside" of you, letting your life as you currently know, understand, and are experiencing it peacefully come to an end both within you and on the "outside" of you, in this way, with "you" within you, as the "Witness of the Light of God" within you, "Settling into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect". Amen." "Please try to do this, please try to call me before you say or do anything, please try to do this, in this way, establishing the true Shaikh-Disciple Relationship within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, establishing the house of light for your soul, the palace of the soul, the house of wisdom within you, that can travel to the next "School of God' within you, after you die to the "outside" of you, so you do not have to go to either the "suffering of the grave" within you or Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you after you die to the "outside" of you, so "you" within you can then go to the next school within you, the "School of Light" within you, where God within you will directly teach you about God within you, after you have been successful in this "School of Contrasts" within you, where wisdom teaches you about your soul, and the relationship between your soul and God, if you will only let it, where wisdom teaches you about what "separate you" from God, if you will only let it. Amen." --- end of Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen --- My love you, my dearest loving Grandchildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. 5. A Short Story - how do we strengthen our "weakness of faith". By doing as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) told us in our own age, and now as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with each of Us) are telling us right now, that is, "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there". Amen One day "In-the-room" one of the children asked Bawa a question, it was Caroline Laughton. (Note: we are not sure of the correct spelling of Caroline's last name. Please forgive this child if it is wrong, and if you are so moved, please send us the correct spelling, or confirm that this spelling is correct, and if it is wrong we will change it on the Web Page version of this letter. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar) Caroline told Bawa that her life was being experienced as an "up and down" thing, that sometimes she seem to be "right on the point" and other times "she was not doing it right", but that the main discomfort was not so much either of these states, but rather the swinging back forth between them, like riding on a roller coaster. After Caroline had finished Bawa told her that the problem was "weakness in faith", that rather than our life being like a roller coaster it should be like a flat line, never deviating either up or down no matter what might come along, no matter what might be happening to us. For in truth no matter what comes to us, it is always coming to us from God, and even more correctly, it is always coming from God within us to "God happening" within us, and the best we can become is the witness, is becoming God's witness of what God is doing within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. And in truth, whatever comes to us, in our dream of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, it is always all the same, it is just something that God is doing within us, in order to move forward what He is doing within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and in truth has nothing to do with us, for in truth "we don't exist", we don't exist on the "outside" of us, it is God who exist, and He exists within us, and what He is doing within us exists within us, and how He does what He is doing within us, which is all of the "Stuff of God" within us, including all of the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within us, also exists within us, and who it will benefit also exists within us, if He can complete what He is doing within us, that is, if we will only let Him, which are all of the Creation of God within us. But in truth, "we don't exist" either on the "outside" of us, or within us, we are in truth "Nothing", we are in truth "The No-thing" that has come from the "No-thing" to understand the "No-thing", by first understanding the "Everything", by using God, the wisdom of God to extract the understanding of "Everything" from the "Everything", and then using God Himself, to extract the understanding of the "No-thing" from the understanding of "Everything", so we can then share it with God within us for eternity. But instead of doing this, which is come to understand who we "already are", by joining in partnership with God within us, by becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, instead of doing this "correct work" within us, we spend all of your time trying to validate your own existence, as "separate from" God, as "separate from" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, as "separate from" your dear loving brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within you, the "Earth of God" within you, that you have come to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell, to tell the story of God and True Man within you. Instead of this you have transformed all of what God has lovingly and patiently given you into a drama of "you and I", of "mind and yours", of "separation and differences", of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women (either to have a woman or to be a woman, it is all the same), and gold, of "body, trick, and danger", when in truth no danger exists, in this way, experiencing and interpreting in our ignorance what God is doing within you as all occurring on the "outside" of us, as all occurring as a part of the drama of your life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. This is what Bawa told Caroline, as experience by this child both "in-the-room" at the time, sitting at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) as He spoke to Caroline, and as experienced upon reflection, living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. Then, after hear this, after hearing that her problem was "weakness in faith", she asked Bawa, "Oh Bawa, how do I strengthen my faith? And Bawa's answer was amazing, at least for this child, who happened to be sitting right next to Caroline as this conversation between her and Bawa was going on, "in-the-room", and Bawa told her, "This!" Signaling with His hand, that "This!" meant what they were now doing, which was coming together in God's Name, and sharing their lives, with both of them learning from God in the process what they needed to learn to move forward the "Path of God", to allow God within them to reveal God to God within them, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within them. For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) in His age taught us, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased within Him), and God within Him, taught us in our age, and as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there." And for this child, such is the true "Gift of God" in our age, that if two of us come together in the name of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, and now even in the name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), then God will be there, with us sitting on God's lap, and with Bawa teaching us what "we do not know" about "who we already are". Amen. B.

Expansion of Bawa Quotation - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) 1. May You Merge With God - who is without partners or equal, and may your worship be free from ascribing partners or equals to Him "May you merge with God who is without partners or equal, and may your worship be free from ascribing partners or equals to Him [including "yourselves" and your dear brothers and sisters living in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is a world of sin, a world of darkness hidden within you, that in your ignorance you have allowed to grow within you, and which in maturity has come to define you on the "outside" of you, instead of God within you] [Such is the partner or equal to God that is tnow included in your prayers to God, in your prayers of "separation and differences", such is the "elephant in the room" that you fail to see when you pray that make your prayers unacceptable to God within you"] 2. There Is Nothing Equal To Him - so worship Him with a prayer that has no equal or parallel "There is nothing equal to Him. So worship Him with a prayer that has no equal or parallel [to Him within you, no equal or parallel to the true nature of Him within you, to the fact that in truth "He alone exists" within you, and to the fact that in truth "He is One" within you] [So worship Him within you with a prayer that is about your true nature, about the true nature of both God and True Man within you, and about Their true relationship within you, that in truth "They are One" within you, that in truth, in its own time, Each reveals the Other hidden within it, and then hides itself within the Other being revealed, only to be revealed again by the Other, in its own time] [So worship God within you with a prayer that affirms these truths within you, about God and True Man within you, just as the prayer of the apple seed buried in the earth is about its true nature, about the true nature of both, of both the apple tree and the apple fruit hidden within it, and about their true relationship within it, that in truth, "they are one" within it, that in truth, in its own time, each reveals the other hidden within it, and then hides itself within the other being revealed, only to be revealed again by the other, in its own time] [That is, the apple seed comes to the realization of "who it is", of "where it is", and of "what is happening" in its life, comes to realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of itself' and with the "truth of what is hidden within it", that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and is ready to either accept or reject it, and if it accepts it, if it lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, then it merges with the earth and the earth becomes "one with" the apple seed, and then it germinates, and reveals the apple tree hidden within it, and then hides itself within the apple tree being revealed, only to be revealed again by the apple tree when it reveals the apple fruits hidden within it] [Such is the choice of each apple seed buried within the earth, as such is the choice of each of us buried within the Creation of God within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, to either germinate or not, to either let the "truth surrender to the truth" within us, that is to let the "truth of us", which is the "Seed of God" within us, which is "God happeniing" within us, surrender to the "Truth of God" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within us, within us, within "us" buried within the Creation of God within us] [And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He choose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are alive today, because He gave up His life so we could live. Now it is time for us to do the same, and give up our life so He can again live] [So now we must decide, either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, because in truth there is no other choice, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, until we physically die to the "outside" of us, getting an eternal life of "separation from" God as our reward. May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and join with God within us, that is, join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to make the right choice, to become "One with" God within us before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen] 3. Open Your Hearts In A State Of Peace - and tell Him what is in your heart "Open your hearts in a state of peace and tell Him what is in your heart [which in your current state of "separation and differences", is "you" living with your brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is the world of sin or darkness within you, that in your ignorance you have let grow within you, which is your current state, which is what "separates you" from God within you, which is what "separates you" from your true self within yourself, from your '"selfless self", which is your soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him) join as "One with" your wisdom within you, which is your soul liberated from the cross of your elemental body within you, that is, from your impure birth, by the wisdom surrounding your soul, by your wisdom which has been awakened by the "Gift of God" for your age, if you will only let it] [Allowing your wisdom to pull out the 5 nails that are crucifying your soul on this impure birth, which are the 5 "desires to live here" within you, which are the desires of the 5 ruhanies within you, which your wisdom will naturally do within you, once it is awakened, if you will only let it, if you will only join with it, against the "Enemy of your soul", which is "you" living on the "outside" of you, if you will only join with it against the "Enemy of your soul" within you, which in truth are the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, that now in maturity "separate you" from your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and that "separate you" from the Creation of God within you, from the Creation of God or the "Earth of God" within you, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of you, even before you were born, so the "Seed of God" hidden within it can germinate and grow into the "Tree of God" within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen.] ["As the "Schools of God" that you must attend to complete His intention for you, which is reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (in the earth world or the dunya) within you, as the "School of Contrasts", or the dunya, where you learn about what "separates you" from God within you, from yourself within yourself, and from each other on the "outside" of yourself, and the "School of Light" where God teaches you about God, about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, in the next world or akhirah within you, allowing you to disappear into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you"] ["Allowing God within you to "separate from Him" what "separates Him" from True Man within you, which is the Nur or duality of Himself and Himself within you, that He established in the time of darkness or lack of understanding within you, in anathi within you, when in ignorance of Himself within you, at the direction of the Qutb or Power of God within you, He meditated upon the effulgence of God within you, the original power of God that emerged out of God within you, to answer God's question of God within you, the question, "Who am I?""] ["And allowing God within you to separate from Him what "separates Him" from Himself, which is what is left over after it is all over, which is God and what has "separated from" God, which is everything of God that refuses to become again "One with" God within you, because for them "Their wisdom has not reasoned over their fate", because for them, "The qualities of their higher selves have not been victorious over the qualities of their lower selves." Amen"] 4. Whatever Rises Up In Your Heart - tell Him "Whatever rises up in your heart, tell Him [which must gradually be seen as only Him within you, as only Him "rising up in your heart" within you, as only Him "completing His intention" within you, as only Him "destroying everything" within you that He created within you, destroying everything but Himself within you, for as He "created everything" within you, then He will destroy everything within you, everything that in His love and compassion He created within you, to complete His intention within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] ["In this way, with Him lovingly and compassionately harvesting the crop that He has grown within you, and in the process revealing Himself within you, revealing Himself to Himself within you, for the benefit of everything that He created within you, in this way, gradually transforming everything within you, everything that He lovingly and compassionately created within you, into Himself within you, and into what He is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, which is the understanding of God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (which is the earth world or the dunya) within you"] ["And into how He does what He is doing within you, which is revealing True Man within the next world or akhirah within you, allowing True Man within you to reveal True Man to True Man within you, which is the understanding of True Man within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within you, and in this way, allowing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of everything within you, and of the essence of everything within you, and of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within you, and of the "Everything within the Power of that Essence", which in truth is God and True Man within you, with the Everything of the Essence within you being this earth world or dunya within you, and with the Everything of the Power within you being the next world or akhirah within you. Amen"] ["And in this way, gradually bring to judgment everything within you, gradually bring it all to completion within you, to the degree that each will let Him, before it is all over, when all that is left within you is God, and what has "separated from" God within you, and what has "separated from" God in the end is everything within you that has not understood the truth of themselves within you, despite all that God has done for them, over and over again, to reveal and open the truth of themselves to them, before it is all over"] ["The truth that in truth they too are the "Seed of God" within them, for in truth "there is nothing other than God" within them, and in truth "God is One" within them, that they too are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within them, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within them, the "Earth of God" within them which in truth contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within them to germinate, and everything necessary for the "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of God" within them to grow and come to maturity within them, and everything for that "Tree of God" within them in its maturity to reveal all of the "Fruits of God" hidden within them, allowing each of these "Fruits of God" within them in its maturity to again reveal the "Seeds of God" hidden within them. Amen"] 5. Tell Him - all your intention "Tell Him all your intention [which must gradually also be seen as only Him within you, and in this way, with you, first "Making His intention your search", and then "Intending as He intends", and in this way, "separating from" you everything that is "separating you" from God within you, from yourselves within yourselves, from each other on the "outside" of you, and from the Creation of God within you. Amen"] 6. He Is The One - who knows everything and understands everything "He is the One who knows everything and understands everything [so you must become like Abraham (peace be upon Him) in his pit of fire, sitting in peace in his pit of fire with Iman, with absolute, complete, and unshakable faith, certitude, and determination that "God alone exists" within you, and with the complete acceptance of the heart that "God is One" within you"] ["In this way, you must peacefully sit in your pit of fire with Iman, and join in partnership with God within you, in 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, instead of trying to climb out of your pit of fire, or correct it, or turn hell into heaven, or to transform evil into good. This is God's work within you, not your work on the "outside" of you"] ["May you all come to know this truth while there is still time to do something about it, while there is still enough time, and enough energy within you for God to finish what He has started within you, a very, very long time ago, even before you were born, even before you came into this earth world, into the dunya. May you all know this now without the slightest doubt, and join in partnership with God within you, and do this by joining with your wisdom, and with the truth of God within you wisdom, to become "One with" God within you before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen"] ["Which for your age, translates into joining with your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and with His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you, in order to awaken the wisdom surrounding your heart, in order to do the necessary "Heart's Work" within you, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside" of you, and before at least one of you destroys the world on the "outside" of you for all of you. Amen"] ["May you all come to realize that your current life on the "outside" of you is the "Enemy of your soul", is the life of your first son, of the child of darkness within you, which is preventing the birth of your second son within you, of the child of light within you, of the Light of God for the world within you, the "Enemy of your soul" which is your current life of "separation and differences" with your dear brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is a world of sin within you, a world of darkness within you, that in your ignorance of who you "already are" you have grown within you, and have now become "one with", letting what has grown within you as lives of darkness now define you, instead of letting what God will quite naturally grow within you, if you will only let Him, define you"] ["In this way, initially in your ignorance, and now in your "separation and differences", in your "arrogance, karma, and illusion" in your "desire for earth, women, and gold", in your life of "body, trick, and danger", in your life lived within the evil actions of kalam (time) time within you that are leading you to Kalan within you, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, you are willingly and freely letting the first son within you, the child of darkness within you, define for you "who you are", and "where you are", and "what is happening" in your life on the "outside" of you, all the while feeding all of the lives of darkness within you with your ever sin, with your every look, word, thought, intention, and action of "separation and differences"] ["Which in truth is the "one sin" that "separates you" from God within you, that "separates you" from the second son within you, from the Child of Light within you, from the Light of God to the world for your age, and that "separates you" from each other on the "outside" of you, and from the Creation of God, that God within you has lovingly and patiently hidden within you, so the "Seed of God" within you could germinate within you, if that be your true intention, if your intention is to become "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. May this become so within each of you, may this become the true intention within each of you, before it is too late. Amen"] ["In this way, becoming "One with" the faith of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within us, that will naturally develop within you if you trust and love in only God within you, allowing you like the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) to make "Your knowing that God know enough", allowing you to "Settle into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", which is membership in the 73rd group within you, within all human lives within you, if you will only remove the "sin of righteousness" within you before you die to the "outside" of you, which is membership in the 71st and the 72nd groups within you, who are the groups within you who are trying to have it both way, who are trying to trust and love in both, in both God within you and in the world on the "outside" of you, but in truth get neither after they die, getting neither heaven or hell when they die, but instead going to the "suffering of the grave" and Qiyamah within them"] ["Going to the "suffering of the grave" within them where you get to meet the 5 ruhanies, the 5 elemental spirits that you did not remove from your life before you died, revealing the Light of the Soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him), the 5 ruhanies within you that then, after you die to the "outside" of you, roam the earth until your judgment day, causing you great distress, since you can no longer feed them, since you have physically died, allowing them, all within the justice of God, to then eat you"] ["And then going to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, where all of the Creation of God within you testify against you, testifying to God within you about what you made them do, rather than what God created them to do within you, which was to come to completion within you, and become the house of wisdom, the palace of the soul within you, and in this way, with your selfish life on the "outside" of you preventing them from coming to completion within you, before you died to the "outside" of you, in this way, causing them great distress, go to Qiyamah within you, where you are prevented by God from testifying on your own behalf. Such is your fate if you continue to stay in the 71st, and the 72nd groups within you until you die"] ["May you all realize this error in your ways, without the slightest doubt, before you die to the "outside" of you, and while there is still time and energy to do something about it, and join with God within you to move into the 73rd group within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Allowing God to finish what He has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] 7. Knowing What Your Intentions Are - He will help you "Knowing what your intentions are, He will help you [by gradually showing you, if you will let Him, that all of your intentions are selfish, are focused on the illusion that you exist on the "outside" of you, as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within you, the Creation of God that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of you, as the "Earth of God", as the place where God planted the "Seed of God" within you, as what contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within you to germinate, and for the "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of god" to grow and come to maturity within you, and bear the "Fruits of God" within you, with the "Sweet Taste of God" within you, and in this way, as the vehicle for discovering who you "already are", which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and of what is hidden within this "Seed of God" within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within you, as "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God coming to completion within you, or within the "Earth of God" within you"] ["Which is like what happens within the apple tree, with the sweet apple taste happening within the apple fruit happening within the apple tree happening within the apple seed buried within the earth, and like with the apple seed, all you have to do to become valuable in your own lifetime, is to tell the story that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell"] ["Is to tell the story of God within the story of True Man within you, and the story of True Man within the Story of God within you, the story that you came to the earth, to the dunya, to the earth world within you, to join with the earth, to tell, all you have to do is to germinate, is to germinate to the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, and to the truth of God within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within you, is to realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of you within you, and this truth of God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, and in this way, allowing the "truth to surrender to the truth" within you. Amen"] 8. Understanding Your Wants - He will comfort you "Understanding your wants, He will comfort you [by gradually showing you, without the slightest doubt, if you will only let Him, that you have no wants, because you already have everything within you, that this is the true "Gift of God" in your life, God has already given you everything, and within that everything is the essence of everything, and within that essence is the Power called God, and that essence of God includes all of the 124,000 Prophets, heavenly beings, and light of God that have come into the world over and over again, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into this earth world or the dunya, over 200 million years ago, to teach you "what you do not know"] ["But without God's direct intervention in your life you cannot harvest anything of value out of everything that God has placed within you, without the "Presence of God" in your life nothing of value can come of your life, and without finding, understanding, and becoming "One with" this "Gift of God" for your age, which on the "outside" of you is the life and teaching of the True Shaikh, the True Teacher of God for this age, without becoming "One with" this "Gift of God" for your age, on both the inside and on the "outside" of you, this "Presence of God" cannot occur in your life, for "if you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there", and this "Gift of God" for your age is the only way you can learn in this age how to "not be there", so "God is there", which is God's guarantee in this age. May you all begin to know this now, and start to act accordingly. Amen"] ["And for this age this "Gift of God" for your age is the life and teaching of your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen"] 9. Knowing Your illnesses - He will treat you "Knowing your illnesses, He will treat you [by gradually showing you, without the slightest doubt, if you will only let Him, that you have no illnesses, that each of your illnesses is in truth the incompleteness of the Creation of God within you, which will only come to completion within you when you stop standing between God and them within you, for in truth God will naturally bring each of the Creations of God within you to completion within you, as part of Him completing what He is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you"] ["But because of you, because of your current existence of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, that you will not freely and willingly give up, God cannot finish His work within you, because of your current life of selfishness, your current life of "separation and differences" in the world that you see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, all God can do within you is sit and wait, wait for you to turn away from your selfishness within you and turn toward His selflessness within you, and in this way, turn toward God within you, and toward all of the "Stuff of God" within you, which is just waiting along with God within you to transform your life into the Light of God for the world. May you all realize this without the slightest doubt, and embrace the truth of your life, that "Man is God in the forgetting of himself". Amen"] ["Because of this, because you will not let this falsehood of you covering the truth of you peacefully come to an end within you, which is the life of the first son within you, the child of darkness within you, covering the birth of the second son within you, which is the child of Light within you, which is the Light of God to the world for your age within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which is maturity is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, which in maturity is True Prayer within you, which in maturity is True Man within God within you, because you won't let this happen within you, because of your unwillingness to "die for your sins", for Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, so Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you can again live a life of purity within you, but this time with an understanding of that purity, so it will never leave you again, because of this, God cannot reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, God cannot being the Creations of you to completion within you, removing all illnesses within you. May you all turn away from the false "outside" of you, and turn toward God within you, and all of the "Stuff of God" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] ["Because of this, because you won't stop "fighting with your Shaikh for your soul" within you, because you refuse to peacefully die to the "outside" of you, so God within you can finish what He as started within you, because you won't do this, because you won't die selflessly, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you did when He died to a life of purity within you, so you could live, so you could live a life of sin on the "outside" of you, so you could live as you are currently living on the "outside" of you, selfishly"] ["In this way, keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you crucified on the cross of your elemental body, crucified on the cross of your impure birth, so you can sin, so you can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the "outside" of you, and then get the false inside of you that lies hidden within the false "outside" you, but this time for eternity, finally seeing for yourself for the first time what you have placed your faith and trust and love in within you, other than God within you. Then such is your fate for eternity. May you all know this now and start to act accordingly. Amen"] ["Because of this, the Creation of God within you cannot come to completion within you before you die to the "outside" of you, which you will then have to account for in Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) when each of the Creation of God within you will testify against you within you, with you not being allowed by God to speak in your defense, and with you then receiving as your reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, feeling, in this way, receiving as your reward an eternal life of "separation from" God within you, for hell is simple the realization that we have separated ourselves from God, which in truth is separating ourselves from ourselves] ["May you all awaken to this truth of you, and of God within you, without the slightest doubt, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside" of you, or before one of you prematurely destroys the "outside" of all of us, making it too late for all of us. Amen"] 10. Knowing Your Mind - He will bring you peace "Knowing your mind, He will bring you peace [by awaking within you, if you will only let Him, the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can go to battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is you, and your dear loving brothers and sisters, living a life of "separation and differences", of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women (either to have a women, or to be a woman, it is the same), and gold", and body, trick, and danger (giving you an illusion of danger to protect against, while in truth there is no danger, as man has no natural enemies).

Spiritual Letter 62 - Outline & Summary Version About Spiritual Letter 62 Title: "We Need To Use God To Get To God, Not What God Has Discarded" Date Written: December, 2004 Written by: Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) Written to: Ummul Khair Muhaiyaddeen (Rumi), and Maimuna Go To: Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 62 Go To: Outline & Summary Version - of Spiritual Letter 62 "Silent Outline" - with no summary of each Topic "Brief Outline" - with a short summary of each Topic Go To: Summary of Spiritual Letter Home Page - Spiritual Letters Go To Spiritual Letter 63 Letter 62: E-mail Version Library Home Page Go To Spiritual Letter 61 Letter 62: Related Material Introduction - To Spiritual Letter 62 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. 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 us all. May God help us all. Here is a beautiful letter that was written from the heart of this child to the hearts of our dearest loving sisters Ummul Khair Muhaiyaddeen (Rumi) and Maimuna, to the One Open Heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), a letter which Bawa within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to also share with each of you. 1-0. We Have To Let God Finish - what he has already started within each of us, which is His "Heart's Work" within us, only then, when we join as "One with" Him to do this, to complete this "Heart's Work" within us, will our life become successful in our own lifetime For Bawa teachers us that only by joining as "One with" God within us, that is, by joining as "One with" with our wisdom within us, and as "One with" the truth of God within our wisdom, will our life become successful in our own lifetime, so God can finish what He has started within us a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. That is, in this way, only by doing this in partnership with God within us, doing this "Heart's Work" within us as "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside of us, will our life become successful in our own lifetime, only then will we have successfully moved from the 71st and the 72nd groups of the 73 groups within all human beings, and into the 73rd group within us, into the group within us who only trust and love in God within us. Amen. 2-0. The Fate of the First 72 Groups Within Us - is to spend eternity as "separate from" God within us, and the fate of the 71st and the 72nd group within these 72 groups within us, is to first go to the "suffering of the grave" within us and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, as well as 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within us, all as part of spending eternity as "separate from" God within us Only then will we have successfully moved from the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, which are the two groups within us living in the "world of righteousness" within us, the two groups within us who are guilty of the "sin of righteousness" within us, that is, of trying to have it both ways, before they die to the "outside" of us, trying to trust and love in both God within us, and in the world on the "outside" of us, so they can continue to sin. So they can continue to live a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, only to get neither after they die, neither God or heaven when they die, instead after meeting the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) the members of these two groups within us, the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, must experience the "suffering of the grave" within themselves, and then after it is all over, they must experience Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within themselves, and in this way experiencing 105 million rebirths within themselves, ending as a worm in hell with only 1 level of consciousness, or feeling, all as part of spending eternity as "separate from" God within themselves, They must experience the "suffering of the grave" within themselves, where they meet for the first time the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within themselves, who were their "might and helper" when they were still living on the "outside" of themselves, as is explained so beautifully to us by God in the Holy Qur'an, in but who now in the grave are free to roam the world and bring them great hardship. They must experience Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within themselves, where each of the Creation of God within them will testify against them within them, with them not being allowed by God to speak in their our defense, and with them then receiving as their reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, in this way, receiving as their reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, all as part of spending an eternal life of "separation from" God within themselves, for hell is simple the realization that we have separated ourselves from God, which in truth is separating ourselves from ourselves. And instead of all this, of this "suffering of the grave", of Qiyamah (the Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment), of 105 million rebirths, where we have put our eternity in the hands of the Angels of God (peace be upon Them) within us, who have a very rigid interpretation of the "Justice of God" within us, an interpretation which has been brought down by God specifically for them within us, since they have been given the duty by God of ruling heaven and hell within us, of dealing with those who refuse to give up their "separation from" God up to the very end, an interpretation that has come down to them as a "Book of Rules", a "Book of Rules" that they then use to deal out for eternity our punishment for our temporary life of "separation and differences" in the world on the "outside" of us, a life and a world that we have ourselves, in our ignorance, grown and brought to maturity within us. What a waste of what God has truly given into the hands of each of us, which is God and what God is doing within us, and how does this within us, of what God is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God within us. 3-0. The Destiny of Our Soul Within Us - is for our wisdom surrounding our soul to awaken to the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of God for our age, with "us" joining as "One with" our wisdom, in order to do battle and win over the "Enemy of our soul" within us, which is currently experienced as "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us with our dear brothers and sisters, in this way, allowing our soul to become "One with" our wisdom within us, establishing the Light of God within us for our age, which in truth is the Palace of the soul within us, the House of wisdom, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, allowing Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us to go on the journey of Mi'raj within us, establishing the "Secret World of Allah" within us, and True Prayer within us, allowing God to finish what He has started within us, revealing God to God within us for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen Instead of all this, may we all join in partnership with God within us, may we all join as "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, realizing before we die what in our ignorance have done to ourselves, to God and to all of the "Stuff of God" within us, and to the Creation of God within us, and shift our focus off of "us" as "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, onto the truth of us, which is "us" as "One with" God within us, and do all of this before we die to the "outside" of us. In this way, allowing God within us to finish what God has already started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God within us, and in the process awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, in order to liberate our soul from the cross of our impure birth, and let it joined as "One with" our wisdom, ending our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, closing down the world of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, and re-opening the world of souls within us. In this way, establishing the palace of the soul within us, the house of wisdom within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, establishing the Light of God to the world within us, and let it join as "One with" the light of our wisdom, as "One with" the Nur Muhammad within us, which God in His infinite Mercy and Compassion has placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, ending within us the dunya, the 18,000 universes within us, and opening up the "Secret world of Allah" within us, and True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, all of which is the journey of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us over 1400 years ago, but which must now happen within us, in our lifetime, if our life is to become successful, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. And in this way, allowing True Prayer to start within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, allowing God to reveal True Man within the Creation of God (the earth world or the dunya) within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, allowing True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man (the next world or akhirah) within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation) within us, in this way, revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen. 4-0. Bawa Quotations - from the beautiful book of wisdom, "The "Pearl of Wisdom" 4-1. Forward - "He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man" For as Bawa teaches us on page 6, the "Forward" of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Man appearing on this earth, forgets God and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man. This "Guru Man or Pearl of Wisdom" is (provided) to explain this concept (of the Oneness of God, of the Unity of God within us) in detail." 4-2. Invocation To The Guru - "To let grace spring forth, to let darkness vanish ..." And as Bawa also teaches us on page 11, in the "Invocation To The Guru", in the same book by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom", teaching us about "how" all of this happens within us, by us "letting it happen" within us, because in truth we must get God within us to do all of this within us, because in truth "we do not exist" either within us or on the "outside" of us, for in truth it is He alone who exists within us, and it is He who has already started something within us, not us, and it is He who placed within us what He needs to complete what He has started within us, not us, and it is He who knows how to use what He has placed within us to finish what He has started within us, not us. Such is the glory and the power and the grace of our God within us. Amen. So our work is to know His work, and His work is all work, our work is to get God to do it again, do His work again, but this time within us, our work is to get all of "us", to get all that is within us, that God has placed there, into God's hands within us, so God within us can then complete what He is doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Our work is to get all of this, all of this "Stuff of God" within us, which includes the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God, and the 18,000 universes within us, and all of the Creation of God within us, back squarely into God's hands within us, and out of our hands on the "outside" of us, then everything will proceed as planned, as both planned and as executed by God within us. Amen. For as Bawa teaches us on page 11, in this beautiful invocation to the Guru, to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, which this child recites each day, and some times many times each day, while sitting at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, Invocation To The Guru: Disciple: "To let Grace spring forth, To let darkness vanish, To let the love of Guru grow, To let Qualities be purified, O Graceful Guru, give me a remedy." "Swami, show us a way to dispel the darkness in the world." Guru: "O Son, I shall sing a song, and then answer you question." "For the Silent One to appear as Grace, To find the world as a tiny thing, To destroy sorrow which is a maiden, With help from the Master Guru's graceful ways, Seek and learn standing on the path, And ask with a melting heart." "Let the body become the true mystery, Dominant with grace. Let the seed be destroyed Blinding both eyes. Enshrine in thy heart The lamp of Guru's graceful words. With a heart of love See Aathi as a thing" "Spread the Guru's words with delightful heart, Unfurl the flag of Guru's words everywhere. Then the fate that accompanies thee Shall turn into dust." My true and perfect pupils, gems of my eyes, ask for the remedy in order to shine everywhere. Amen. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Amen Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. 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 us all. May God help us all. My love you my dearest loving sisters Ummul Khair Muhaiyaddeen (Rumi) and Maimuna - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). In our prayers today Bawa instructed this child to write this letter to you, using the Quotation for this month, that is, the quotation in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar for December, 2004, from the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the basis for this letter, and then to expand upon it, on each wisdom point in the quotation given to us by Bawa, from the clarity that has grown within the heart of this child over the last 29 years, trying to live at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. 2. To Have Wisdom Is To Have Bawa - is to have Bawa within us, and to have God within Him, and to not have wisdom is to not have Bawa and God in this way within us, but rather is to have the illusion of being alone on the "outside" of us. It is just that simple For as Bawa told us one day "In-the-room", when He told one of the children to speak some wisdom, and the child said to Bawa, "Oh Bawa, we don't have any wisdom, only you have wisdom." And Bawa said to the child, "If you don't have any wisdom, then we might as well go back to Ceylon, because you have not learned anything by my being hear with you in America." 3. We Must Know How To Strengthen Our Faith & Trust In God - or our life will become like a "roller coaster" and we will never find peace and stability in our life We will start this letter off with a short story, about how Bawa told us one day how to strengthen our "weakness of faith", a weakness that can overcome us if we are not careful, if we are not conducting our life wisely, if we are not constantly trying to live at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, within us, and at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, if we are not invoking the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything, so that everything that we "say or do" is being "said and done" by God within us, not by us on the "outside" of us. Realizing with our Iman, with our absolute, complete, unshakable faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth "Only God exists" within us, and that "God is One" within us, realizing that to invoke the "Presence of God" within us that we first have to learn how "not to be there". For as Bawa teaches us, "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there." So our work, if we will only accept it, is learning how "not to be there", and then "God will be there". This is God's promise for our age, God's guarantee. And the way that Bawa teaches us to do this, that is, how Bawa teaches us "not to be there", is for our mind and desire to sit down, and the only thing that will cause our mind and desire to sit down is when wisdom stands up within us. 4. "Before You Do Anything, Call Me" - and "We" can do it together, as "One with" each other, only then will your wisdom stand up, and only then will your mind and desire sit down, in this way, only then will your life move forward on the "Path of God" within you, only then will your life become successful in your own lifetime. Amen This is why Bawa teaches us that before we "say or do" anything that we must call Him, in this way, we must invoke the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. So when we do "say or do" something in the world on the "outside" of us, then in truth it is being "said or done" by "us" joined as "One with" God within us, it is being "said and done" by "us" joined as "One with" Bawa within us, and as "One with" God within Him, it is being "said and done" by the "Holy Trinity", the "Triple Flame" of God within us, by the Light of God for the Children of God for our age. Amen. And in this way, it is not being "said and done" by "us" as "separate from" God within us, it is not being "said and done" by "us" living a life of "separation and differences" with our dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, it is not being "said or done" by our mind and desire within us, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life on the "outside" of us as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the "outside" of us and get an eternal life of "separation from" God as our reward. Then and only then, when we become "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, will our life truly move forward on the "Path of God" within us, then and only then, will our life truly become successful in our own lifetime. Amen. In this way, as quoted in one of the earlier versions of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, about 8 to 10 years ago, as follows, and as expanded upon by this child as follows, we must always say the word "Bawa", or the word "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or the word "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) before we "say or do" anything in the world on the "outside" of us, in this way establishing the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. Then we have beciome "safe" within the "Heart of our Shaikh" while still living in the world on the "outside" of us. Amen. Then our wisdom will stand up within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down within us, in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us before we "say or do" anything. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. This "way of conducting our life" in the world on the "outside" of us, as "One with" Bawa within us, and as "One with" God within Him, is beautifully explained to us by Bawa in the following "Bawa Quotation". And it is further explained to us by our dear brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), in the following "Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon". God willng further explained to us by our dear brother living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, further explained to us by Bawa within us, and by God within Him, from within the "Heart of our Shaikh", from within our dear brother in a state of "submission to the will of Allah". Amen. --- beginning of Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen --- Bawa Quotation: "Before you do anything call me, call me Jesus (peace be upon Him), call me Murugan (peace be upon Him), which is one of the 201 names of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), call me Qutb Muhaiyaddeen, call me Nur Muhammad (the light of our wisdom), or call me Bawa Adam (may God be pleased with Him), in truth it doesn't matter which of these names you use, but call me, before you do anything, please call me". Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) "When the clarity of your soul develops within you, you will realize that in truth, within you, all of these names are the same, they are all reflections of the One within you, which is the Light of God for your age, which is the "Gift of God" for your age for the Children of God for your age, which is the life and teaching of God both within you and on the "outside" of you for your age, that must awaken within you, as the wisdom surrounding your soul, which you must join as "One with" with within you to liberate your soul from the cross of its impure birth, that you must join with to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is the life of "separation and differences" that each of you are currently living with your dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you." "The world that you see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you but which in truth is the world of hell and the world of righteousness within you, the world of sin, and the "sin of righteousness' within you, the world of darkness and of evil within you, that in your ignorance you have grown within you, but which in truth is just the first 70 groups within you, and just the 71st and the 72nd groups within you, that make up 72 of the 73 groups within all human lives, the 72 groups within you that you must escape from within you, that you must move out of within you, that you must stop living as "one with" within you, and instead move into the 73rd group within you, instead begin to live as "One with" the 73rd group within you, the only group within you who only trust and love in God within you, and who have no trust or love for the world on the "outside" of you, and with you doing all of this before you physically die to the "outside" of you". [Note: for more on "Understanding The Sin of Righteousness" within us, the sin of the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, and for more on all of the 73 groups within us, please read the beautiful wisdom letter written recently to two of my High School Classmates, and their wives, by this child Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) after having received from them a copy of the "Gospel of John" from the Holy Bible, to read over the summer, which we did, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. To directly access this letter please click on the following: Spiritual Letter 60, "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com). Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] "Please try to do it like this, before it is too late, before you meet the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) in your current state of "separation and differences" living on the "outside" of you, living as if you are "separate from" God within you, living as if you are "separate from" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, living as if you are "separate from" your dear brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and living as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, that God has lovingly and patiently placed within each of you even before you were born, even before you came to this earth world or the dunya". "Living as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you which is what you must become "One with" before you die to the "outside" of you, for this is where the "Seed of God" within you must germinate, after you realize, understand, accept, and join as "One with" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, and the truth of God within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Tree of God" within you, which in maturity becomes the "Fruit of God" within you, in this way, with "you" within you allowing the "truth to surrender to the truth" within you, that is, if you will only germinate, if you will only die to the "outside" of you before you physically die to the "outside" of you, letting your life as you currently know, understand, and are experiencing it peacefully come to an end both within you and on the "outside" of you, in this way, with "you" within you, as the "Witness of the Light of God" within you, "Settling into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect". Amen." "Please try to do this, please try to call me before you say or do anything, please try to do this, in this way, establishing the true Shaikh-Disciple Relationship within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, establishing the house of light for your soul, the palace of the soul, the house of wisdom within you, that can travel to the next "School of God' within you, after you die to the "outside" of you, so you do not have to go to either the "suffering of the grave" within you or Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you after you die to the "outside" of you, so "you" within you can then go to the next school within you, the "School of Light" within you, where God within you will directly teach you about God within you, after you have been successful in this "School of Contrasts" within you, where wisdom teaches you about your soul, and the relationship between your soul and God, if you will only let it, where wisdom teaches you about what "separate you" from God, if you will only let it. Amen." --- end of Bawa Quotation Expanded Upon by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen --- My love you, my dearest loving Grandchildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. 5. A Short Story - how do we strengthen our "weakness of faith". By doing as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us over 2000 years ago, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) told us in our own age, and now as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with each of Us) are telling us right now, that is, "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there". Amen One day "In-the-room" one of the children asked Bawa a question, it was Caroline Laughton. (Note: we are not sure of the correct spelling of Caroline's last name. Please forgive this child if it is wrong, and if you are so moved, please send us the correct spelling, or confirm that this spelling is correct, and if it is wrong we will change it on the Web Page version of this letter. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar) Caroline told Bawa that her life was being experienced as an "up and down" thing, that sometimes she seem to be "right on the point" and other times "she was not doing it right", but that the main discomfort was not so much either of these states, but rather the swinging back forth between them, like riding on a roller coaster. After Caroline had finished Bawa told her that the problem was "weakness in faith", that rather than our life being like a roller coaster it should be like a flat line, never deviating either up or down no matter what might come along, no matter what might be happening to us. For in truth no matter what comes to us, it is always coming to us from God, and even more correctly, it is always coming from God within us to "God happening" within us, and the best we can become is the witness, is becoming God's witness of what God is doing within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. And in truth, whatever comes to us, in our dream of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, it is always all the same, it is just something that God is doing within us, in order to move forward what He is doing within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and in truth has nothing to do with us, for in truth "we don't exist", we don't exist on the "outside" of us, it is God who exist, and He exists within us, and what He is doing within us exists within us, and how He does what He is doing within us, which is all of the "Stuff of God" within us, including all of the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within us, also exists within us, and who it will benefit also exists within us, if He can complete what He is doing within us, that is, if we will only let Him, which are all of the Creation of God within us. But in truth, "we don't exist" either on the "outside" of us, or within us, we are in truth "Nothing", we are in truth "The No-thing" that has come from the "No-thing" to understand the "No-thing", by first understanding the "Everything", by using God, the wisdom of God to extract the understanding of "Everything" from the "Everything", and then using God Himself, to extract the understanding of the "No-thing" from the understanding of "Everything", so we can then share it with God within us for eternity. But instead of doing this, which is come to understand who we "already are", by joining in partnership with God within us, by becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, instead of doing this "correct work" within us, we spend all of your time trying to validate your own existence, as "separate from" God, as "separate from" the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, as "separate from" your dear loving brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within you, the "Earth of God" within you, that you have come to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell, to tell the story of God and True Man within you. Instead of this you have transformed all of what God has lovingly and patiently given you into a drama of "you and I", of "mind and yours", of "separation and differences", of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women (either to have a woman or to be a woman, it is all the same), and gold, of "body, trick, and danger", when in truth no danger exists, in this way, experiencing and interpreting in our ignorance what God is doing within you as all occurring on the "outside" of us, as all occurring as a part of the drama of your life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. This is what Bawa told Caroline, as experience by this child both "in-the-room" at the time, sitting at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) as He spoke to Caroline, and as experienced upon reflection, living at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him. Amen. Then, after hear this, after hearing that her problem was "weakness in faith", she asked Bawa, "Oh Bawa, how do I strengthen my faith? And Bawa's answer was amazing, at least for this child, who happened to be sitting right next to Caroline as this conversation between her and Bawa was going on, "in-the-room", and Bawa told her, "This!" Signaling with His hand, that "This!" meant what they were now doing, which was coming together in God's Name, and sharing their lives, with both of them learning from God in the process what they needed to learn to move forward the "Path of God", to allow God within them to reveal God to God within them, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within them. For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) in His age taught us, and as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased within Him), and God within Him, taught us in our age, and as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there." And for this child, such is the true "Gift of God" in our age, that if two of us come together in the name of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, and now even in the name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), then God will be there, with us sitting on God's lap, and with Bawa teaching us what "we do not know" about "who we already are". Amen. B.

Expansion of Bawa Quotation - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) 1. May You Merge With God - who is without partners or equal, and may your worship be free from ascribing partners or equals to Him "May you merge with God who is without partners or equal, and may your worship be free from ascribing partners or equals to Him [including "yourselves" and your dear brothers and sisters living in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is a world of sin, a world of darkness hidden within you, that in your ignorance you have allowed to grow within you, and which in maturity has come to define you on the "outside" of you, instead of God within you] [Such is the partner or equal to God that is tnow included in your prayers to God, in your prayers of "separation and differences", such is the "elephant in the room" that you fail to see when you pray that make your prayers unacceptable to God within you"] 2. There Is Nothing Equal To Him - so worship Him with a prayer that has no equal or parallel "There is nothing equal to Him. So worship Him with a prayer that has no equal or parallel [to Him within you, no equal or parallel to the true nature of Him within you, to the fact that in truth "He alone exists" within you, and to the fact that in truth "He is One" within you] [So worship Him within you with a prayer that is about your true nature, about the true nature of both God and True Man within you, and about Their true relationship within you, that in truth "They are One" within you, that in truth, in its own time, Each reveals the Other hidden within it, and then hides itself within the Other being revealed, only to be revealed again by the Other, in its own time] [So worship God within you with a prayer that affirms these truths within you, about God and True Man within you, just as the prayer of the apple seed buried in the earth is about its true nature, about the true nature of both, of both the apple tree and the apple fruit hidden within it, and about their true relationship within it, that in truth, "they are one" within it, that in truth, in its own time, each reveals the other hidden within it, and then hides itself within the other being revealed, only to be revealed again by the other, in its own time] [That is, the apple seed comes to the realization of "who it is", of "where it is", and of "what is happening" in its life, comes to realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of itself' and with the "truth of what is hidden within it", that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and is ready to either accept or reject it, and if it accepts it, if it lets the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, then it merges with the earth and the earth becomes "one with" the apple seed, and then it germinates, and reveals the apple tree hidden within it, and then hides itself within the apple tree being revealed, only to be revealed again by the apple tree when it reveals the apple fruits hidden within it] [Such is the choice of each apple seed buried within the earth, as such is the choice of each of us buried within the Creation of God within us, within the "Earth of God" within us, to either germinate or not, to either let the "truth surrender to the truth" within us, that is to let the "truth of us", which is the "Seed of God" within us, which is "God happeniing" within us, surrender to the "Truth of God" within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within us, within us, within "us" buried within the Creation of God within us] [And the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He choose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are alive today, because He gave up His life so we could live. Now it is time for us to do the same, and give up our life so He can again live] [So now we must decide, either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, because in truth there is no other choice, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside", a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, until we physically die to the "outside" of us, getting an eternal life of "separation from" God as our reward. May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and join with God within us, that is, join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to make the right choice, to become "One with" God within us before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen] 3. Open Your Hearts In A State Of Peace - and tell Him what is in your heart "Open your hearts in a state of peace and tell Him what is in your heart [which in your current state of "separation and differences", is "you" living with your brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is the world of sin or darkness within you, that in your ignorance you have let grow within you, which is your current state, which is what "separates you" from God within you, which is what "separates you" from your true self within yourself, from your '"selfless self", which is your soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him) join as "One with" your wisdom within you, which is your soul liberated from the cross of your elemental body within you, that is, from your impure birth, by the wisdom surrounding your soul, by your wisdom which has been awakened by the "Gift of God" for your age, if you will only let it] [Allowing your wisdom to pull out the 5 nails that are crucifying your soul on this impure birth, which are the 5 "desires to live here" within you, which are the desires of the 5 ruhanies within you, which your wisdom will naturally do within you, once it is awakened, if you will only let it, if you will only join with it, against the "Enemy of your soul", which is "you" living on the "outside" of you, if you will only join with it against the "Enemy of your soul" within you, which in truth are the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, that now in maturity "separate you" from your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and that "separate you" from the Creation of God within you, from the Creation of God or the "Earth of God" within you, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of you, even before you were born, so the "Seed of God" hidden within it can germinate and grow into the "Tree of God" within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen.] ["As the "Schools of God" that you must attend to complete His intention for you, which is reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (in the earth world or the dunya) within you, as the "School of Contrasts", or the dunya, where you learn about what "separates you" from God within you, from yourself within yourself, and from each other on the "outside" of yourself, and the "School of Light" where God teaches you about God, about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, in the next world or akhirah within you, allowing you to disappear into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you"] ["Allowing God within you to "separate from Him" what "separates Him" from True Man within you, which is the Nur or duality of Himself and Himself within you, that He established in the time of darkness or lack of understanding within you, in anathi within you, when in ignorance of Himself within you, at the direction of the Qutb or Power of God within you, He meditated upon the effulgence of God within you, the original power of God that emerged out of God within you, to answer God's question of God within you, the question, "Who am I?""] ["And allowing God within you to separate from Him what "separates Him" from Himself, which is what is left over after it is all over, which is God and what has "separated from" God, which is everything of God that refuses to become again "One with" God within you, because for them "Their wisdom has not reasoned over their fate", because for them, "The qualities of their higher selves have not been victorious over the qualities of their lower selves." Amen"] 4. Whatever Rises Up In Your Heart - tell Him "Whatever rises up in your heart, tell Him [which must gradually be seen as only Him within you, as only Him "rising up in your heart" within you, as only Him "completing His intention" within you, as only Him "destroying everything" within you that He created within you, destroying everything but Himself within you, for as He "created everything" within you, then He will destroy everything within you, everything that in His love and compassion He created within you, to complete His intention within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] ["In this way, with Him lovingly and compassionately harvesting the crop that He has grown within you, and in the process revealing Himself within you, revealing Himself to Himself within you, for the benefit of everything that He created within you, in this way, gradually transforming everything within you, everything that He lovingly and compassionately created within you, into Himself within you, and into what He is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you, which is the understanding of God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (which is the earth world or the dunya) within you"] ["And into how He does what He is doing within you, which is revealing True Man within the next world or akhirah within you, allowing True Man within you to reveal True Man to True Man within you, which is the understanding of True Man within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within you, and in this way, allowing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of everything within you, and of the essence of everything within you, and of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within you, and of the "Everything within the Power of that Essence", which in truth is God and True Man within you, with the Everything of the Essence within you being this earth world or dunya within you, and with the Everything of the Power within you being the next world or akhirah within you. Amen"] ["And in this way, gradually bring to judgment everything within you, gradually bring it all to completion within you, to the degree that each will let Him, before it is all over, when all that is left within you is God, and what has "separated from" God within you, and what has "separated from" God in the end is everything within you that has not understood the truth of themselves within you, despite all that God has done for them, over and over again, to reveal and open the truth of themselves to them, before it is all over"] ["The truth that in truth they too are the "Seed of God" within them, for in truth "there is nothing other than God" within them, and in truth "God is One" within them, that they too are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within them, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within them, the "Earth of God" within them which in truth contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within them to germinate, and everything necessary for the "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of God" within them to grow and come to maturity within them, and everything for that "Tree of God" within them in its maturity to reveal all of the "Fruits of God" hidden within them, allowing each of these "Fruits of God" within them in its maturity to again reveal the "Seeds of God" hidden within them. Amen"] 5. Tell Him - all your intention "Tell Him all your intention [which must gradually also be seen as only Him within you, and in this way, with you, first "Making His intention your search", and then "Intending as He intends", and in this way, "separating from" you everything that is "separating you" from God within you, from yourselves within yourselves, from each other on the "outside" of you, and from the Creation of God within you. Amen"] 6. He Is The One - who knows everything and understands everything "He is the One who knows everything and understands everything [so you must become like Abraham (peace be upon Him) in his pit of fire, sitting in peace in his pit of fire with Iman, with absolute, complete, and unshakable faith, certitude, and determination that "God alone exists" within you, and with the complete acceptance of the heart that "God is One" within you"] ["In this way, you must peacefully sit in your pit of fire with Iman, and join in partnership with God within you, in 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, instead of trying to climb out of your pit of fire, or correct it, or turn hell into heaven, or to transform evil into good. This is God's work within you, not your work on the "outside" of you"] ["May you all come to know this truth while there is still time to do something about it, while there is still enough time, and enough energy within you for God to finish what He has started within you, a very, very long time ago, even before you were born, even before you came into this earth world, into the dunya. May you all know this now without the slightest doubt, and join in partnership with God within you, and do this by joining with your wisdom, and with the truth of God within you wisdom, to become "One with" God within you before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen"] ["Which for your age, translates into joining with your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and with His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you, in order to awaken the wisdom surrounding your heart, in order to do the necessary "Heart's Work" within you, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside" of you, and before at least one of you destroys the world on the "outside" of you for all of you. Amen"] ["May you all come to realize that your current life on the "outside" of you is the "Enemy of your soul", is the life of your first son, of the child of darkness within you, which is preventing the birth of your second son within you, of the child of light within you, of the Light of God for the world within you, the "Enemy of your soul" which is your current life of "separation and differences" with your dear brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but in truth is a world of sin within you, a world of darkness within you, that in your ignorance of who you "already are" you have grown within you, and have now become "one with", letting what has grown within you as lives of darkness now define you, instead of letting what God will quite naturally grow within you, if you will only let Him, define you"] ["In this way, initially in your ignorance, and now in your "separation and differences", in your "arrogance, karma, and illusion" in your "desire for earth, women, and gold", in your life of "body, trick, and danger", in your life lived within the evil actions of kalam (time) time within you that are leading you to Kalan within you, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, you are willingly and freely letting the first son within you, the child of darkness within you, define for you "who you are", and "where you are", and "what is happening" in your life on the "outside" of you, all the while feeding all of the lives of darkness within you with your ever sin, with your every look, word, thought, intention, and action of "separation and differences"] ["Which in truth is the "one sin" that "separates you" from God within you, that "separates you" from the second son within you, from the Child of Light within you, from the Light of God to the world for your age, and that "separates you" from each other on the "outside" of you, and from the Creation of God, that God within you has lovingly and patiently hidden within you, so the "Seed of God" within you could germinate within you, if that be your true intention, if your intention is to become "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. May this become so within each of you, may this become the true intention within each of you, before it is too late. Amen"] ["In this way, becoming "One with" the faith of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within us, that will naturally develop within you if you trust and love in only God within you, allowing you like the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him) to make "Your knowing that God know enough", allowing you to "Settle into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", which is membership in the 73rd group within you, within all human lives within you, if you will only remove the "sin of righteousness" within you before you die to the "outside" of you, which is membership in the 71st and the 72nd groups within you, who are the groups within you who are trying to have it both way, who are trying to trust and love in both, in both God within you and in the world on the "outside" of you, but in truth get neither after they die, getting neither heaven or hell when they die, but instead going to the "suffering of the grave" and Qiyamah within them"] ["Going to the "suffering of the grave" within them where you get to meet the 5 ruhanies, the 5 elemental spirits that you did not remove from your life before you died, revealing the Light of the Soul or Jesus (peace be upon Him), the 5 ruhanies within you that then, after you die to the "outside" of you, roam the earth until your judgment day, causing you great distress, since you can no longer feed them, since you have physically died, allowing them, all within the justice of God, to then eat you"] ["And then going to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, where all of the Creation of God within you testify against you, testifying to God within you about what you made them do, rather than what God created them to do within you, which was to come to completion within you, and become the house of wisdom, the palace of the soul within you, and in this way, with your selfish life on the "outside" of you preventing them from coming to completion within you, before you died to the "outside" of you, in this way, causing them great distress, go to Qiyamah within you, where you are prevented by God from testifying on your own behalf. Such is your fate if you continue to stay in the 71st, and the 72nd groups within you until you die"] ["May you all realize this error in your ways, without the slightest doubt, before you die to the "outside" of you, and while there is still time and energy to do something about it, and join with God within you to move into the 73rd group within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Allowing God to finish what He has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] 7. Knowing What Your Intentions Are - He will help you "Knowing what your intentions are, He will help you [by gradually showing you, if you will let Him, that all of your intentions are selfish, are focused on the illusion that you exist on the "outside" of you, as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God within you, the Creation of God that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of you, as the "Earth of God", as the place where God planted the "Seed of God" within you, as what contains everything necessary for that "Seed of God" within you to germinate, and for the "Tree of God" hidden within that "Seed of god" to grow and come to maturity within you, and bear the "Fruits of God" within you, with the "Sweet Taste of God" within you, and in this way, as the vehicle for discovering who you "already are", which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and of what is hidden within this "Seed of God" within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within you, as "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God coming to completion within you, or within the "Earth of God" within you"] ["Which is like what happens within the apple tree, with the sweet apple taste happening within the apple fruit happening within the apple tree happening within the apple seed buried within the earth, and like with the apple seed, all you have to do to become valuable in your own lifetime, is to tell the story that you came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell"] ["Is to tell the story of God within the story of True Man within you, and the story of True Man within the Story of God within you, the story that you came to the earth, to the dunya, to the earth world within you, to join with the earth, to tell, all you have to do is to germinate, is to germinate to the truth of you within you, which is the "Seed of God" within you, and to the truth of God within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within you, is to realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of you within you, and this truth of God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, and in this way, allowing the "truth to surrender to the truth" within you. Amen"] 8. Understanding Your Wants - He will comfort you "Understanding your wants, He will comfort you [by gradually showing you, without the slightest doubt, if you will only let Him, that you have no wants, because you already have everything within you, that this is the true "Gift of God" in your life, God has already given you everything, and within that everything is the essence of everything, and within that essence is the Power called God, and that essence of God includes all of the 124,000 Prophets, heavenly beings, and light of God that have come into the world over and over again, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into this earth world or the dunya, over 200 million years ago, to teach you "what you do not know"] ["But without God's direct intervention in your life you cannot harvest anything of value out of everything that God has placed within you, without the "Presence of God" in your life nothing of value can come of your life, and without finding, understanding, and becoming "One with" this "Gift of God" for your age, which on the "outside" of you is the life and teaching of the True Shaikh, the True Teacher of God for this age, without becoming "One with" this "Gift of God" for your age, on both the inside and on the "outside" of you, this "Presence of God" cannot occur in your life, for "if you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there", and this "Gift of God" for your age is the only way you can learn in this age how to "not be there", so "God is there", which is God's guarantee in this age. May you all begin to know this now, and start to act accordingly. Amen"] ["And for this age this "Gift of God" for your age is the life and teaching of your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen"] 9. Knowing Your illnesses - He will treat you "Knowing your illnesses, He will treat you [by gradually showing you, without the slightest doubt, if you will only let Him, that you have no illnesses, that each of your illnesses is in truth the incompleteness of the Creation of God within you, which will only come to completion within you when you stop standing between God and them within you, for in truth God will naturally bring each of the Creations of God within you to completion within you, as part of Him completing what He is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you"] ["But because of you, because of your current existence of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, that you will not freely and willingly give up, God cannot finish His work within you, because of your current life of selfishness, your current life of "separation and differences" in the world that you see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, all God can do within you is sit and wait, wait for you to turn away from your selfishness within you and turn toward His selflessness within you, and in this way, turn toward God within you, and toward all of the "Stuff of God" within you, which is just waiting along with God within you to transform your life into the Light of God for the world. May you all realize this without the slightest doubt, and embrace the truth of your life, that "Man is God in the forgetting of himself". Amen"] ["Because of this, because you will not let this falsehood of you covering the truth of you peacefully come to an end within you, which is the life of the first son within you, the child of darkness within you, covering the birth of the second son within you, which is the child of Light within you, which is the Light of God to the world for your age within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which is maturity is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, which in maturity is True Prayer within you, which in maturity is True Man within God within you, because you won't let this happen within you, because of your unwillingness to "die for your sins", for Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, so Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you can again live a life of purity within you, but this time with an understanding of that purity, so it will never leave you again, because of this, God cannot reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, God cannot being the Creations of you to completion within you, removing all illnesses within you. May you all turn away from the false "outside" of you, and turn toward God within you, and all of the "Stuff of God" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Amen"] ["Because of this, because you won't stop "fighting with your Shaikh for your soul" within you, because you refuse to peacefully die to the "outside" of you, so God within you can finish what He as started within you, because you won't do this, because you won't die selflessly, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you did when He died to a life of purity within you, so you could live, so you could live a life of sin on the "outside" of you, so you could live as you are currently living on the "outside" of you, selfishly"] ["In this way, keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you crucified on the cross of your elemental body, crucified on the cross of your impure birth, so you can sin, so you can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the "outside" of you, and then get the false inside of you that lies hidden within the false "outside" you, but this time for eternity, finally seeing for yourself for the first time what you have placed your faith and trust and love in within you, other than God within you. Then such is your fate for eternity. May you all know this now and start to act accordingly. Amen"] ["Because of this, the Creation of God within you cannot come to completion within you before you die to the "outside" of you, which you will then have to account for in Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) when each of the Creation of God within you will testify against you within you, with you not being allowed by God to speak in your defense, and with you then receiving as your reward 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, feeling, in this way, receiving as your reward an eternal life of "separation from" God within you, for hell is simple the realization that we have separated ourselves from God, which in truth is separating ourselves from ourselves] ["May you all awaken to this truth of you, and of God within you, without the slightest doubt, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside" of you, or before one of you prematurely destroys the "outside" of all of us, making it too late for all of us. Amen"] 10. Knowing Your Mind - He will bring you peace "Knowing your mind, He will bring you peace [by awaking within you, if you will only let Him, the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can go to battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is you, and your dear loving brothers and sisters, living a life of "separation and differences", of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women (either to have a women, or to be a woman, it is the same), and gold", and body, trick, and danger (giving you an illusion of danger to protect against, while in truth there is no danger, as man has no natural enemies). May we all awaken to this dream before it is too late. Amen"].
