May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is a beautiful short discourse by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us. Bawa. That is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True", and we get an eternal life of "separation from" God as our lot, rather then an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which in truth is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, which is what God has prepared for us, if we really want it, that is, if we are wise. Amen. Bawa. Also we have provided along with the "Original Version" of this discourse some additional material about this beautiful short discourse, that is, an outline, some outline topics, a short summary of each outline topic, and some comments, by this child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, if you like, for like everything in our life, the Choice is ours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. This short discourse is a Letter sent to His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) living in America, by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on May 21, 1978, while His Holiness was living in Ceylon, during one of the many trips that His Holiness took to Ceylon during His stay in America, from 1971 until His death on December 8th, 1986. His Holiness is buried in a little farming community about an hours ride out of the City of Philadelphia, in America, which was His Holiness's main residence while living in America, and all are welcome to visit the Shrine or Mazar that was erected by His Children over His grave site. Bawa. Also, a copy of this short discourse by His Holiness was published by the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as part of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar. It can be found on the back of the Cover for the 2001 version of this Calendar, for your references. Bawa. After reading this beautiful discourse by His Holiness, at the feet of our Shaikh, and of God within Him, "We" have given this beautiful short discourse the title, "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", that is, the requirements for Overcoming the torpor, illusion, and both the happiness and sadness of our current life on the "outside" of us, all of which is preventing us from again becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and we get an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, as our eternal reward, or at least truly starting to do this, in partnership with God within us, so God within us can then do "Everything Else", that is, everything else required to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, if we like. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how and where we spend eternity within us, because everything is within us, and how and where we next go when this part of "God's Story" within us is over, that is, when the part where God is Dreaming within us, that is, where God is dreaming of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, is over, is most certainly our Choice, not God's, for God has given us both paths to follow, and provided us with everything we need to successful complete either journey, with "us" in the end, that is, with "us", when this part of "God's Story" within us is over, either ending as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, in the next part of "God's Story" within us. And the Choice is ours, not God's.. Bawa. So, now we must decide, before we die to the flesh, what our role will be in the next Chapter of God's Story, that is, what we truly want for eternity, and then we must tell God within us, loud and clear, exactly what we want for eternity, and not just with our words, but by our actions, by the way that we live our life in the world until this part of "His Story" is over, by either starting to live our life in the world as "One with" Him within us, in every way we can, in this way telling God that this is what we want next, which is "Oneness with" Him within us, or continuing to act on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" Him within us, all of which is "Just not True", but even worse, all of which is signaling to God within us, loud and clear, that this is what we want next in "His Story", that we want to play the role of "separation from" God in the next Chapter in "God's Story. Ok? Bawa. And in truth there is no other Choice, for everything other than these two Choices, is just drama, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and is just telling God that we want "separation from" Him in the next Chapter of "His Story", and the only way for "us" to win over the drama of our life, and not send "This Message" to God within us is "not to play", that is, is "not to play" the drama that is our current life on the "outside" of us, and the only way for "us" to "not play", is to get God within us "to play", that is, by "us" stepping back on the "outside" of us, so God can then "step forward" within us, and God can start to tell "His Story" within us, the next Chapter in "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, with us now playing the role of "Oneness with" God within us, rather than our current role of "separation from" God within us. Ok? Bawa. Because only God within us can win over "our drama" on the "outside" of us, if we will only let Him, if we will only join Him in this effort within us, by allowing God to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, and we can do this if we like, because God has given us the ability to do this. Bawa. And we can do this, this getting God within us to awaken from His Dream within us, His Dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, of us living as if we are "separate from" Him within us, when "we" truly begin to realize the consequences of us dying in our current state, in our current state of God still in His Dream within us, and when we stop participating in His Dream within us, by completely rejecting our current life on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And how do we do this? Surprisingly it is really easy. Simply by starting to act this way, that is, as "One with" God within us, in everything that we do on the "outside" of us, that is, simply by learning how to establish the "Presence of God" within us before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, and in this way, deleting "our presence" on the "outside" of us, as this small child has learned to do, because both cannot be present at the same time, either "we are there" acting as if we are "separate from" God within us, or God is there truly as "One with" everything and everything within us, that is, "If we are there God is not there, and if God is there we are not there." Bawa. For example, by "our" saying the word "Bawa" before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, like this child has learned to do, because the name of His Holiness is the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, for our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) was the name of our wisdom, in His age, over 2000 years ago, and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) was the name of our wisdom, over 1400 years ago, and Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) was the name of our wisdom, over 1000 years ago, and now in our age, the name of our wisdom, is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), and now on the "outside" of us, is the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Bawa. Which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. So in our age, this is how we establish the "Presence of God" within us, and remove "our presence" on the "outside" of us, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, if we like, for in truth, "The mind will only sit down within us, when wisdom stands up within us". Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, we can get God within us to give up His Dream within us, because we are truly done with it, because we truly convince God within us, by our actions, not just by our words, that we are truly done with His dream within us, and no longer want any part of it, and in this way, we get God within us to give up His Dream within us, that is, we get God within us to set about "Curing Himself" of "us", of His Dream within us. Bawa. That is, by encouraging Him, and supporting Him, in His closing down the world of hell within us, the world of jinns within us, and the world of fairies within us, all of which in truth are the current three sections within us, below our waist, our stomach, and our chest, the sections of earth, water, fire, and air within us, within which we have allowed weeds to grown in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within us, by then re-opening the world of souls within us, which is our 6th level of wisdom within us, and by opening the kingdom of God within us, which is our 7th level of wisdom within us, all of which He will most naturally do within us, if we like, that is, if we will only let Him, that is, if we will only convince Him to do this within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in the state of His Dream within us, and "we" get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, as our eternal reward. For the Choice is ours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. May we all learn to live our life in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, that is, in the time we have remaining on this earth world within us, for in truth everything is really within us, not on the "outside" of us, as many of us still currently believe, that is, to truly live in partnership with God within us, rather than in our current way of acting on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True", and all of which does nothing to encourage God to end His Dream within us. Bawa. And in this way, stop all of our "working for wages to get into heaven", that is, to get into some new "outside" of us, when the current "outside" of us ends, all of which in the end will only bring us disappointment, and instead start doing all of this living in the "Presence of God" within us, rather than in "our presence" on the "outside" of us, "before it is too late to do this kind of "Heart's Work" within us, before it is to late to get God to awaken from His Dream within us, and "Cure Himself of us", and "we" get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us as our eternal lot. Bawa. So to "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", we must first deal with the problem of our ego, which is the problem of "our presence" on the "outside of us, rather than "God's Presence" within us, and learn and put to practice what we have shared in this beautiful Introduction, which truly is a "Gift of God" for our age, which is truly the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, which is truly the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, if we like, for the Choice to accept this clarity as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, and not just the words of this, or any other fool, is our Choice, not God. Bawa. And if we do realize, understand, and accept them as such, as in truth "God speaking" to us, from within our own life, then we can begin to "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", which in truth is God praying to God from within us, and is God performing God's duty from within us, and is God "Curing Himself" of everything that is "separating God from God" within us, so in the end, there is "No Child Left Behind", so in the end, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us. Amen. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, for example, in the last paragraph of this beautiful discourse, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Introduction, "It is God's Beauty within us that worships God within us, and it is God's Qualities within us that perform God's duty from within us, and it is God's Modesty within us that overcomes the fascination of torpor within us, and it is God's Peace of Mind within us that overcomes the illusion or maya within us, and it is God's Remembrance of God within us, God's Remembrance to Pray to God within us, that allows us to lose both happiness and sadness within us." Bawa. And certainly not anything that we do in our current state, in our current state of trying to live a life of selfishness, of sin, of arrogance, karma, and illusion, of mind and desire, on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True", because God is closer to us than our own breath, and our brothers and sisters in truth are rays of light that have been born with us, in the world of soul, in this world, and in the hereafter, and the Creation of God is the Earth of God within us within which our soul, the "Seed of God" within us has been planted. And this is the truth of us, and of God within us. Amen. Bawa. But if we continue to ignore all of God efforts to teach us the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, that in truth "We are all One", that is, that God within us, and what is "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" within us with what is "Within God" within us, and the Creation of God within us, and the "Seed of God" which is our soul, and the wisdom of God surrounding our soul, as the Guardian of the Soul, both of which have been planted within the Creation of God within us, like an apple seed buried within the earth, and "us" if we like, as the Witness, as the Witness of the Story of God within the Creation of God within us, and within that, of the "Story of True Man" within the "Story of God" within the Creation of God within us, are in truth "All One", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, because for our age, this is our birthright, this is our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, the "given of our life", and the only question left for our age, is "Do we want it". Bawa. That is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us? That's it. That is all of it, for our age. Amen. Bawa. And our own life answers this question for us, that is, "what do we want", by the way that we have lived our life in the world, either as "One with" God within us, or continuing to try and live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, no matter what, no matter what God may say and show us to the contrary. Bawa. Like showing us our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, showing us His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), and giving us this beautiful explanation, as "our own life speaking to us", if we like. What more can God do? Bawa. And if we continue to ignore all of God's efforts, and continue to live in our current state on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, then what is God to do but in the end give us exactly what we want, which if we die to the flesh in our current state is an eternal life as "separate from" God, and the "suffering of the grave", and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) become our lot for eternity, with "us" meeting the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits in the grave, roaming the earth world within us as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost until Qiyamah, and then with "us" taking on as part of our judgment 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, and in this way, with "us" taking on as part of our judgment an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. And with "us" receiving all of this within us in accordance with the "Justice of God" within us, "For the "Justice of God" within us is that, whatever we intend is what we will receive." Bawa. At least this is something to think about, a little, Yes? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. May we all think about these beautiful wisdom points a little, at least a little bit, if we like, for the Choice to do this or not, with our life, that is, to let God finish telling "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. That would be very good. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). ============================================================== Original Version - of Spiritual Discourse 04, without an Outline and Summaries His Holiness Teaches Us: May the unfathomable Ruler of grace, the One who is incomparable love, protect My Babies, My Children who are yet to be born, My loving Children, My Grandchildren, My little Children, My older Children, all My Children. May Allah protect you, your parents, your grandparents, and their parents. May He grant all of you long lives free of illness and bless you with His undiminishing wealth in the three worlds. Jeweled lights of My eyes, My Children, you are the happiness within My happiness, the heart within My heart, the wisdom within My wisdom, and the love within My love. You are Children God has given Me, My very own Children, My beautiful and wise Children. I am constantly praying to God on your behalf. I am praying to God that all of you live in a state of goodness, day and night, within and without, in darkness and light, in happiness and sadness. I am praying to God that He grant you the state of His peace, in the world of souls, in this world, and in the next world. I am praying that all of you reach the state of peace in which you separate from yourselves all that separates you from one another. I am praying that with His grace God grant your that state of unity. Jeweled lights of My eyes, my very own Babies, God, the mighty Emperor of the eighteen thousand universes created everything; there is nothing that He has not created. He created all the heavens, all the hells, the lands, and the oceans, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the trees and the bushes, the fish, and insects, the jinns and fairies, all the angels and prophets, and the human being. God created the human being as His best creation and placed all of His Creation within man, all the good and all the evil. Man's duty is to discard what is bad, and keep what is good. Jeweled lights of My eyes, My Children, My loving Children, when you have God's qualities, I am happy. God's qualities are like drops of a soft spring rain falling into your hearts, causing everything in your hearts to become green and fragrant. However, when you do not act with God's qualities, the heart becomes like a desert, dry and parched, and all the green turns to brown. I am constantly praying to God that all My Children act with God's qualities. O God, You must come to give My Children Your grace. Please come to fulfill all the needs of My Babies. O God, You must come here now to give My Babies Your grace so that they may reach the shore (of the hereafter or next world or akhirah within us). Please give My Children the faith to search for You forever. Please protect My Babies. Please let Them merge with You. Please destroy all of Their torpor, all of Their illusion, and all of the veils that conceal Your grace from Them. O God, may You bless My Children with Your Beauty, so that They may worship You. Give Them Your Qualities, so They may do (Your) duty, give Them (Your) modesty, so They might overcome the fascination of torpor, give Them (Your) peace of mind, so They might overcome maya (illusion), and give Them (Your) remembrance to always pray, so that They may lose both happiness and sadness. Give all My Children Your grace and Your protection forever. Amen. ============================================================== Comments On Discourse Topics - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) Outline of Comments - (Page 2 Only) with a Short Summary of Outline Topic 1-8. What Is The Wealth of the Three Worlds? - it is how we resolve "Catch 22", that is, how we resolve the problem that "we can't get there from here", and it is how we solve the problem of the apple seed looking for an apple tree, or trying to bear fruit, without the apple tree, or of a fish looking for water, all of which is the dilemma of our current state, that is, if we will only join in partnership with God within us to look at "us" through the "Eyes of our Shaikh" within us 1-8-A. How We Resolve The Dilemma of "Catch 22" In Our Life - that is, "That we can't get there from here", or more to the point, "That we can't get to God within us from our Current State" on the "outside" of us, that is, with "us" trying to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from " God within us, all of which is "Just not True" 1-8-B. Establishing the "Presence of God" Wthin Us - by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us 1-8-C. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" Within Us - is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how They reveal "Our Oneness" within us, for the benefit of all of "Us" within us 1-8-D.

What Is The Wealth of the Three Worlds? - it is how we resolve "Catch 22", that is, how we resolve the problem that "we can't get there from here", and it is how we solve the problem of the apple seed looking for an apple tree, or trying to bear fruit, without the apple tree, or of a fish looking for water, all of which is the dilemma of our current state, that is, if we will only join in partnership with God within us to look at "us" through the "Eyes of our Shaikh" within us, that is, to look at all of the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within us, since the age of 2 or 3 within us, and that now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, that is, to look at them through the "Palace of the soul" within us, through the "House of wisdom" within us, through the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, through the 99 windows of His house within us, which are the 99 wilayats or Powers of God within us 1-8-A. How We Resolve "The Dilemma" of "Catch 22" In Our Life - that is, "That we can't get there from here", or more to the point, "That we can't get to God within us from our Current State" on the "outside" of us, that is, with "us" trying to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from " God within us, all of which is "Just not True" Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, or the "Mubarakat or Rahmat of Allah" within us, is how we resolve "the dilemma" of "Catch 22" in our current life and state, that is, how we resolve the problem that "we can't get there from here", which is the great enigma of our life, of all life, which is sort of like the problem faced by an apple seed buried within the earth that hears about a thing called an "apple tree" and an "apple fruit", and the sweet taste of an apple, and decides that it wants these things, and then sets out to find them, or the problem of the "fish looking for water", all of which is just as silly as you or I looking for God, or for the kingdom of God, or for salvation on the "outside" of us, in our current state of "separation and differences", acting on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us. Lets join together to investigate into this a little, Ok? 1-8-B. Establishing the "Presence of God" Wthin Us - by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us Bawa. And lets start off, as we did in the our investigation of the last topic, that is, "What is the blessing of God?", and first establish the "Presence of God" within us, by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And the Name of God for our age, the Name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom for our age, is "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and now on the "outside" of us, is the Name of His Childen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is the Name of each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, which is our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, with "us" stepping back on the "outside" of us, allowing God to step forward within us, that is, allowing our wisdom to stand up, so our mind and desire within us, and "our presence" on the "outside" of us, will sit down, and then hand this investigation to our wisdom, and to God within our wisdom, and try and lis ten with our faith, with our "Perfectly Pure" faith, that is, with our Iman, to what is being discussed within the "Heart of God" within us, about this Topic, which is what this child has learned to do. Ok? 1-8-C. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" Within Us - is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how They reveal "Our Oneness" within us, for the benefit of all of "Us" within us Bawa. And when we do this, when we "step back" so God can "Step Forward", the following clarity comes into the heart of this child, which in truth is God speaking to us, from within all of us, to the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept the following as this, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the "Story of God" within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how God reveals God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. And all of which, in truth, like the apple seed buried within the earth, is the Story that we have come to this earth, to join with the earth to tell, which in our case, is to come to this earth world within us, to join in partnership with God within us, to tell, that is, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way or not, like the Choice made by each apple seed buried within the earth to germinate or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. But currently we are not experiencing any of this, any of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, that is, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. And all of which is just a dream, a dream that God is currently having within us, and in this way, "we" in our current state on the "outside" of us is in truth God's dream within us, a dream within which "we" are living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us, with the 9 openings of our illusory body now ruling over us, that is, in God's dream, with "God's Permission", until we "See God and Steady God" within us, if we like. Bawa. And in this way, if we like, allowing God to then intervene in our state, that is, when God awakens from His dream within us, because we become truly "done with our life" on the "outside" of us, because we truly become done with our life within God's dream within us, and in this way, allowing God to then awaken from His dream within us, and set about "Curing Himself of us", that is, allowing God to set about changing "our state", both within us and on the "outside" of us, that is, of changing "our state" of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, which we are aware of, and "our state" of "separation and differences" within us, which we are not aware of, into "His State" within us, for in truth our current state within us, which we in truth are not aware of, are all of the lies of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grown within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and which now rule over us in maturity as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission". Bawa. That is, allowing God to change "our state" both within us, and on the "outside" of us, that is, our state of "separation and differences", into to "His State" within us, into "His state" of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, that is, to allow God to transform it from "our current state" both within and on the "outside" of us, into "His state" within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. A transformation of state within us that only God within us can accomplish within us, once we have truly joined in partnership with God within us, that is, joined in partnership with our awakened wisdom within us, and with God within our awakened wisdom within us, allowing Them within us to do battle with and win over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, win over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, if we like, all of which is our current state of "separation and differences", both within us and on the "outside" of us. Bawa. That is, with God within us winning over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, if we like, all of which is just part of God within us telling, and bringing to Completion within us, "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and is just part of True Man within God within us, telling and bringing to Completion "True Man's Story" within "God's Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. For again, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life as how God within us, and True Man within God within us, tell and bring to Completion what They have already started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to tell and bring to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, So that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", So that in the end, that nothing still exist as "separate from" God within us, all of which is our Choice, not God's Choice within us, or True Man's Choice within God Choice within us. Amen. Bawa. Something to at least think about a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, Yes? Bawa. So how does all of this work, since because of our current state, we still fall into this dilemma of "Catch 22", the dilemma that "We can't get there from here", or more to our point, "We can't get to God from our current state". Bawa. So now lets join together in partnership with God within us, that is, with our wisdom within us, and with God within our wisdom, to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and do this by calling out the Name of God for our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us to do over 2000 years ago, but for our age, do it by saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), or now on the "outside" of us, by saying the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, and in this way, see what They are discussing about this Topic within us, within the Heart of God within the Children of God for our age, as this child has learned to do. Ok? Bawa. So how do we overcome the dilemma of "Catch 22", which is the real dilemma of our life in our current state, the dilemma that "We can't get there from here", that is, that "We can't get to God" from our current state of "apparent separation from" God, that is, from our current state of living a life of "separation and difference" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. All of which is like an apple seed buried within the earth starting to look for the apple tree, that is for its source, from which it has come, without the aid of the earth that it is buried within us, as many of us are currently trying to do, that is, searching for God without the aid of God, that in truth we are buried within, or like the apple seed trying to bear fruit, that is, trying to fulfill its purpose, without the aid of the apple tree, also as many of us are currently doing, that is, trying to fulfill our purpose without God's direct intervention in our life. Bawa. That is, with the apple seed buried within the earth trying to find its source, and fulfill its purpose in ignorance of its true source and in ignorance of its true purpose, rather than realizing, understanding, and accepting, the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, which in our case is in truth the purpose of these Spiritual Comments, which in truth is "Our own life speaking to us", which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept them as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And upon hearing this truth from within it, the apple seed can then either germinate or not to this truth, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within them, and if it does so Choose to use its life in that way, that is, to reveal the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree within it, then the apple seed joins as "One with" the earth, and the earth then joins as "One with" the apple seed, and the apple seed germinates, that is, germinates to the truth hidden within it, that in truth it is an apple seed buried within it, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and bear fruit, and in this way, the apple seed lets the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, and the apple seed germinates, become the apple tree, and bears fruit. Bawa. And this dilemma of our life, that we are now looking into in these Spiritual Comments, that is, with our wisdom, and with God within our wisdom, that is, with a "Little help from our Friends" within us, the dilemma that we "Can't get to God within us" from here, from "Our Current State", is what we will now look at in a little more detail, that is, after we establish the "Presence of God" within us, as we have learned to do earlier. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, shed some light on the "True Problem of our Life", which is our current state within us, not anything that we are doing, or are not doing on the "outside" of us, that is, that from our current state, from our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True", we "Can't get to God" within us, and as a result we become faced with the same kind of problem faced by the fish who sets out to look for water, instead of realizing that in truth, "It is water", that without water it couldn't exist. Bawa. So in truth we must begin to realize that, "We are of God" within us, not of anything that we think in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance that we are experiencing on the "outside" of us, that without God within us we wouldn't exist, that in truth we are "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, that in truth we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and within that "We are of True Man" within God within us, that in truth we are "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, we are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and like the apple seed buried within the earth, this is a Story that "We" have come to the earth world within us to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, that is, to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, and "True Man's Story" within "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, and not True Man's Choice within God's Choice. Bawa. And that unless we come to this realization within us, and join in partnership with God within us, to change "Our state" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, then we will forever fall into this category of "Catch 22", that is, "That you can't get there from here", which was made famous by a movie of the same name in 1970's. Bawa. So my dearest loving brothers and sisters, here is how it works, to deal with this "Catch 22" aspect of our current state, that we "Can't Get to God" within us from our current state, and that is to "Expand our Consciousness" to include God within us, and what is "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, as part of "Who we are", and of "Where we are", and of "What is happening" in our life, and to make these other "Parts of us" to be totally dependent on the current "Part of us" in one way, and to be totally independent of the current "Part of us" in another way, in the same way that an elevator is totally dependent on us in one way, and yet totally independent of us in another way. Ok? Bawa. That is, an elevator is totally independent of us for its successful operation, that is, for its moving up and down, and for its power to move up or down, and for a safe ride up or down, and even for the music that we hear while riding up or down, as well as for the destinations that it can deliver us to. All of these aspects of the successful operation of an elevator are completely independent of us. Bawa. And yet, without us deciding if we want to go "up or down", and how far we want to go "up or down", that is to which floor we want to go to, either above or below the floor we are current on, the elevator and all of the potential that is contained within the elevator, cannot operate. For it is "we" who make the Choice, that is, whether the elevator carries us "up or down", not the elevator. Ok? Bawa. And the elevator does not care if we are white or black or brown, or yellow, or red, or even green for that matter, or if we are male or female, or even bisexual for that matter, of if we are American or Arab or German or Chinese, or even "Martian" for that matter, or if we are rich or poor, educated or unschooled, or a member of this or that group, like a Christian, or a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, for none of these kinds of things, that seem to be so important to us, that is, that literally distinguishes us from one another, and actually currently define for us "who we are", are of any concern to the successful operation of the elevator. All the elevator wants from us is just one thing, and only one thing, and that is, do we want to go "up or down", and how far "up and down" do we want to go. That's it. And the elevator can then operate successfully for us. Ok. Bawa. Like this, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, like the elevator, does not care about all of this "Stuff of us", that we hold as so important, that we literally use to "define us", that is, to differentiate us from one another, and even to evaluate the success or failure of our life. Bawa. Instead, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, like the elevator, can operate successfully within us, completely independent of us, and only wants from us just one thing, and only one thing, and that is, do we want to go "up or down", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which is "up", and is the only up, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which is down, and is the only down. Bawa. But unlike the elevator, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, does not require and further clarification from us, other than "up or down". Bawa. That is, there is no need for any further clarification from us, like how far "up", or how far "down" we want to go, because in truth "God's Elevator" only has two buttons, that is, "up or down", and because in truth "God's Elevator" has only "One Destinations", as there is only "One God", and there is only "One Truth", and that "One and Only Destination" is God within us, and either we truly reach that "One and Only Destination" within us, or we don't, that is, either we become again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", or not, for that "Or not" is not really a destination, it is just eternal "separation from" God, it is just not having reached the "One and Only Destination" within us, for one reason or another, for one issue or another, but it is certainly not a destination, as some of us still mistakenly believe, like a heaven on the "outside" of us near God within us, all of which is "Just not True", no, it is just not having become again "One with" God within us, and to stay in that state for eternity. Bawa. For hell is simple the realization that we have "separated ourselves" from God within us, which in truth is to have "separate us" from "Us", for eternity. Bawa. For in truth, 1) "There is nothing "outside" of us, Everything is within us". 2) "There is nothing other than God" within us. 3) "Only God exists" within us. 4) "God is One" within us. Bawa. So to overcome the "Catch 22" aspect of our current state, "That we can't get there from here", or more specifically, "That we can't get to God" within us, in our current state, we must start to "Use God within us to get to God within us", even though we cannot see or hear or smell or taste or feel or touch God on the "outside" of us. And that is why "We call it Faith". Bawa. For in the same way that an apple seed buried within the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow within the earth, come to maturity, and bear fruit, revealing the sweet taste within the apple fruit, and again revealing the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold, so do we. Bawa. And this is the "Gift" of the "Mubarakat of God" within us , the "Gift" of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, the "Gift" of the world of souls or awwal within us, of this earth world or dunya within us, and of the next world or hereafter or akhirah within us, that we need to understand, both within us and as an Example on the "outside" of us, trusting in God within us, and trusting in what is "Within God" within us, and trusting in "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, all of which is Perfect both within us, and as an Example on the "outside" of us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to allow all of this to happen within us, or at least to truly start to happen within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, as our eternal reward, is our Choice, not God's, that is, is our Choice, not God's Choice, or True Man's Choice within God's Choice, that is, to let God reveal God within the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. All of which is like the Choice of the apple seed buried within the earth, that is, to germinate or not, to germinate to the Truth within it, or not, either letting the apple tree hidden within it come to maturity within the earth, or not, and in the process, revealing the apple seed within the sweet taste of the apple within the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth, or not, that is, after realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining as "One with" the "truth of itself" and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it, that naturally emerges from within it, when it is both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject this truth. Bawa. In this way, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, or not, that is, either telling and bringing to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its apples" within it, or not, that the apple seed came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, or not. Bawa. All of which on the "outside" of us is an Example of the Choice that each of us must now make within us, in our age, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that is, either to join in partnership with God within us to reveal God within the sweet taste of True Man within God within us, hidden within the Creation of God within us, or not, that is, after realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining as "One with" the "truth of ourselves" and the "truth of the God" hidden within us, that naturally emerges from within us, when we are both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject this truth, as we now are. Bawa. And in this way, if we like, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, that is, either joining in partnership with God within us to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of the "Oneness of the God and True Man" within us, that like the apple seed buried within the earth, we have came to the earth, that is, to this earth world within us, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, or not, for like the apple seed buried within the earth, the Choice is ours, is each of ours buried as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, not God's. Amen. Bawa. And my dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is the "Gift" of the "Mubarakat of God" within us , the "Gift" of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, which is the "Gift" of the world of souls or awwal within us, of this earth world or dunya within us, and of the next world or hereafter or akhirah within us, that we need to understand, both within us, and as an Example, on the "outside" of us, if our life is to become truly successful in our lifetime, because these "Three Worlds" within us, not just this one illusory world on the "outside" of us, is what makes up and defines "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening" to us. Bawa. And this is how we can transcend this apparent dilemma of the "Catch 22" of our current life on the illusory "outside" of us, that "We can't get to God within us from our current state", a current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of which is just a dream that God is having within us, a Dream of God within us that God willingly and freely entered within us, with the trust that when we truly hear the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, we will "Stop participating" in God's Dream within us, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance we are currently experiencing as the illusory "outside" of us. Bawa. And to convince God within us to awaken from His Dream within us and Complete what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, all of which caused God to enter His Dream within us in the first place, that is, in order to get "us" to join in partnership with God within us, to reject the current "outside" of us, to reject God dream within us, a dream of us living a life of "separation from" God on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separation from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. And instead to bring about God's Truth within us, which is "Oneness with" God within us, and "Oneness with" everything that God is "One with" within God within us, which is everything within us, that is, to reject the dream that we are currently experiencing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life of "separation and differences", of arrogance, karma, illusion, mind and desire, on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, which in truth are the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden". Bawa. All of which in maturity have become our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold on the "outside" of us, and all of which now falsely defines for us, "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening" in our life, all of which is "Just not True", and instead, to join in partnership with God within us, to place our trust in God within us, and only in God within us, and in this state, to join in partnership with God within us, to "seek ourselves within ourselves", and in the process discover through the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness that God has lovingly and ever so carefully placed within us, like gems within the earth, who "we truly are", and "where we truly are", and "what is truly happening" in our life, all of which becomes the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's, the Choice to either let the current Dream of God within us, define "us" as the "outside" of us, and when we die to the flesh in that state, get that, get an eternal "separation from" God as our eternal reward within us, or to join in partnership with God within us, to let God within the Creation of God within us and True Man within the Creation of True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, define us, by finishing and bringing to Completion what They have started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, like each apple seed buried within the earth is the whole tree, is all of the tree, and nothing less than that, if it like. Bawa. So too the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice about what defines us, both now and for eternity, that is, the Choice about what defines "What's Now" for us until the "outside" of us is over, and what defines "What's Next" for us then, that is, when we do die to the flesh, "What's Next" for us in the hereafter, in the next world within us, in akhirah within us. Bawa. Then, that is, in akhirah, in the Next Chapter in "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, and in the Next Chapter in "True Man's Story" within the Creation of True Man within "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us , "Who are we?" within us, and "Where will we be" within us, and "What will we be doing" within us, that is, within akhirah within us, and the Choices are only Two, and the Destination is only One, not more than this, as many of us still falsely believe. Bawa. That is, either as eternally "One with" God within us or as eternally "separate from" God within us, that is, either as "One with" God within us, as God within the Creation of God within us, that is, in the next Cycle of God-Man/Man-God within us, or as eternally "separate from" God within us, taking on 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling, that is, taking on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Amen. Bawa. And this is the truth within us, within each of us, like the apple tree and its fruits hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth,, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or know it or not, for this is our true heritage, the true birthright of each one of us, the true destiny of our soul, and in truth, we are currently hearing this truth of us, and of God within us, in these Spiritual Comments, which in truth are emerging from within us, from all of us living in this age, because now we are ready, ready to here them, and ready to either accept or reject them, for in truth this is "Why we were born", in to this earth world within us, in this age, that is, to hear these "Words of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, and to either accept or reject them. Bawa. All of which in truth is "our own life speaking to us", and the only question left is "Do we want it", that is, do we want an "Eternal life as One with God" within us, or an "Eternal life as Separate from God" within us, and in truth there is no other Choice, everything else in our life, everything that is happening on the "outside" of us, is just drama, and does not contain any truth, or any true Choice, everything else is just the drama of "I and you", of "mind and yours", and has to do with our current life of "selfishness", or "sin", our current life of "separation and differences" that we are living on the illusory "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. For in truth God is closer to us than our own breath, and our brothers and sisters in truth are within us, as the "Life of God" within God within us, as the "Rays of light coming from the Sun" within us, who were born with us in the world of souls, in this earth world, and in the hereafter or akhirah within us, and the Creation of God is really all within us, as the "Earth of God" within us, within which God has planted "His Seed" within us, which is our soul, just waiting for it to germinate to His Truth, and become "His Tree", and bear "His Fruits", if we like. Amen. Bawa. So now the Choice is ours, not God's, as God has already made His Choice, and He Chose "Oneness with" each of us, and now it is our Choice, to also Chose either "One with" God within us, or "separation from" God within us, and our own life answers this question for us, by the way that we live our life on the "outside" of us, either as "One with" God within us, or as we are currently doing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of u s, that is, as if we are "separate from" God within us. Bawa. And in this way, as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, through these Spiritual Comments, "At the end of time God would send One to say again everything that had been said before, by His 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, over and over again, in every age, but this time with no veils. "And everyone would hear it, and everyone would understand it, and all that will be left is "Do they want it", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and there is no other Choice. Amen." Bawa. And in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, what you are now reading is the "Truth of us", and the "Truth of God" within us, for our age, but this time with no veils, and in truth it is now emerging from within us, not coming from the "outside" of us, and certainly not just from this fool, because now we are both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject. Bawa. And this is now the "True Choice of Our Life", for our age, that in truth God has placed before us, in our age, that upon hearing this truth now, that is, upon hearing this "Truth of us" within the Creation of God within us, and this "Truth of God" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, in our age, we must now decide to either accept or reject it, that is, the truth that "we" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and that in truth God within us, God within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, is the "Seed of True Man". Bawa. And as such "we" are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and God is "True Man happening" within the Creation of True Man within us, that is, within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, if we like, for this Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to let this happen within us, to let God within us, and to let True Man within God within us, to use our life in this way, that is, to finish what They have started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to tell and being to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, and not True Man's Choice within God's Choice. Amen. Bawa. And this truly is now the "Choice of Our Life", for our age, to either accept this truth within us, or to reject this truth within us, and in this way, "we" are the ones who determine our eternal reward within us, not God within us, and there is no use trying to wiggle out of making a Choice, for in truth a "No Choice" is a Choice, is a Choice to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, and when we eventually do die to the flesh in our current state, with "us" getting an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us as our reward, with all of our "Going to hell" within us happening within the "Justice of God" within us. Bawa. For the "Justice of God" within us, tells us that, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive". Bawa. But if we do accept it, if we do accept this "Truth of us" and this "Truth of God' within us, as the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, coming to us from God within us through the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, which in truth is each of us, if we like, and then join in partnership with God within us, to Complete it, that is, to allow God within the Creation of God within us, and True Man within the Creation of True Man within us, that is, within God within the Creation of God within us, to finish what They have started within us, a very, very long time ago, then our life will truly become successful in our lifetime. Bawa. And God within us, and True Man within God within us, will do "Everything Else", both within us and on the "outside" to "Make it So" within us, which is to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within us. Bawa. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all know this now, and start to act accordingly, that is, to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to "Make it So" within us. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is a beautiful short discourse by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us. Bawa. That is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True", and we get an eternal life of "separation from" God as our lot, rather then an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which in truth is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, which is what God has prepared for us, if we really want it, that is, if we are wise. Amen. Bawa. Also we have provided along with the "Original Version" of this discourse some additional material about this beautiful short discourse, that is, an outline, some outline topics, a short summary of each outline topic, and some comments, by this child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, if you like, for like everything in our life, the Choice is ours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. This short discourse is a Letter sent to His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) living in America, by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on May 21, 1978, while His Holiness was living in Ceylon, during one of the many trips that His Holiness took to Ceylon during His stay in America, from 1971 until His death on December 8th, 1986. His Holiness is buried in a little farming community about an hours ride out of the City of Philadelphia, in America, which was His Holiness's main residence while living in America, and all are welcome to visit the Shrine or Mazar that was erected by His Children over His grave site. Bawa. Also, a copy of this short discourse by His Holiness was published by the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as part of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar. It can be found on the back of the Cover for the 2001 version of this Calendar, for your references. Bawa. After reading this beautiful discourse by His Holiness, at the feet of our Shaikh, and of God within Him, "We" have given this beautiful short discourse the title, "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", that is, the requirements for Overcoming the torpor, illusion, and both the happiness and sadness of our current life on the "outside" of us, all of which is preventing us from again becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and we get an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, as our eternal reward, or at least truly starting to do this, in partnership with God within us, so God within us can then do "Everything Else", that is, everything else required to make our life truly successful in our lifetime, if we like. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how and where we spend eternity within us, because everything is within us, and how and where we next go when this part of "God's Story" within us is over, that is, when the part where God is Dreaming within us, that is, where God is dreaming of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, is over, is most certainly our Choice, not God's, for God has given us both paths to follow, and provided us with everything we need to successful complete either journey, with "us" in the end, that is, with "us", when this part of "God's Story" within us is over, either ending as "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, in the next part of "God's Story" within us. And the Choice is ours, not God's.. Bawa. So, now we must decide, before we die to the flesh, what our role will be in the next Chapter of God's Story, that is, what we truly want for eternity, and then we must tell God within us, loud and clear, exactly what we want for eternity, and not just with our words, but by our actions, by the way that we live our life in the world until this part of "His Story" is over, by either starting to live our life in the world as "One with" Him within us, in every way we can, in this way telling God that this is what we want next, which is "Oneness with" Him within us, or continuing to act on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" Him within us, all of which is "Just not True", but even worse, all of which is signaling to God within us, loud and clear, that this is what we want next in "His Story", that we want to play the role of "separation from" God in the next Chapter in "God's Story. Ok? Bawa. And in truth there is no other Choice, for everything other than these two Choices, is just drama, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and is just telling God that we want "separation from" Him in the next Chapter of "His Story", and the only way for "us" to win over the drama of our life, and not send "This Message" to God within us is "not to play", that is, is "not to play" the drama that is our current life on the "outside" of us, and the only way for "us" to "not play", is to get God within us "to play", that is, by "us" stepping back on the "outside" of us, so God can then "step forward" within us, and God can start to tell "His Story" within us, the next Chapter in "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, with us now playing the role of "Oneness with" God within us, rather than our current role of "separation from" God within us. Ok? Bawa. Because only God within us can win over "our drama" on the "outside" of us, if we will only let Him, if we will only join Him in this effort within us, by allowing God to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, and we can do this if we like, because God has given us the ability to do this. Bawa. And we can do this, this getting God within us to awaken from His Dream within us, His Dream of "us" living on the "outside" of us, of us living as if we are "separate from" Him within us, when "we" truly begin to realize the consequences of us dying in our current state, in our current state of God still in His Dream within us, and when we stop participating in His Dream within us, by completely rejecting our current life on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And how do we do this? Surprisingly it is really easy. Simply by starting to act this way, that is, as "One with" God within us, in everything that we do on the "outside" of us, that is, simply by learning how to establish the "Presence of God" within us before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, and in this way, deleting "our presence" on the "outside" of us, as this small child has learned to do, because both cannot be present at the same time, either "we are there" acting as if we are "separate from" God within us, or God is there truly as "One with" everything and everything within us, that is, "If we are there God is not there, and if God is there we are not there." Bawa. For example, by "our" saying the word "Bawa" before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, like this child has learned to do, because the name of His Holiness is the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, for our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) was the name of our wisdom, in His age, over 2000 years ago, and Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) was the name of our wisdom, over 1400 years ago, and Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) was the name of our wisdom, over 1000 years ago, and now in our age, the name of our wisdom, is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), and now on the "outside" of us, is the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Bawa. Which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. So in our age, this is how we establish the "Presence of God" within us, and remove "our presence" on the "outside" of us, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, if we like, for in truth, "The mind will only sit down within us, when wisdom stands up within us". Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, we can get God within us to give up His Dream within us, because we are truly done with it, because we truly convince God within us, by our actions, not just by our words, that we are truly done with His dream within us, and no longer want any part of it, and in this way, we get God within us to give up His Dream within us, that is, we get God within us to set about "Curing Himself" of "us", of His Dream within us. Bawa. That is, by encouraging Him, and supporting Him, in His closing down the world of hell within us, the world of jinns within us, and the world of fairies within us, all of which in truth are the current three sections within us, below our waist, our stomach, and our chest, the sections of earth, water, fire, and air within us, within which we have allowed weeds to grown in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within us, by then re-opening the world of souls within us, which is our 6th level of wisdom within us, and by opening the kingdom of God within us, which is our 7th level of wisdom within us, all of which He will most naturally do within us, if we like, that is, if we will only let Him, that is, if we will only convince Him to do this within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in the state of His Dream within us, and "we" get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, as our eternal reward. For the Choice is ours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. May we all learn to live our life in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, that is, in the time we have remaining on this earth world within us, for in truth everything is really within us, not on the "outside" of us, as many of us still currently believe, that is, to truly live in partnership with God within us, rather than in our current way of acting on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True", and all of which does nothing to encourage God to end His Dream within us. Bawa. And in this way, stop all of our "working for wages to get into heaven", that is, to get into some new "outside" of us, when the current "outside" of us ends, all of which in the end will only bring us disappointment, and instead start doing all of this living in the "Presence of God" within us, rather than in "our presence" on the "outside" of us, "before it is too late to do this kind of "Heart's Work" within us, before it is to late to get God to awaken from His Dream within us, and "Cure Himself of us", and "we" get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us as our eternal lot. Bawa. So to "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", we must first deal with the problem of our ego, which is the problem of "our presence" on the "outside of us, rather than "God's Presence" within us, and learn and put to practice what we have shared in this beautiful Introduction, which truly is a "Gift of God" for our age, which is truly the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, which is truly the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, if we like, for the Choice to accept this clarity as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, and not just the words of this, or any other fool, is our Choice, not God. Bawa. And if we do realize, understand, and accept them as such, as in truth "God speaking" to us, from within our own life, then we can begin to "Understanding the Requirements for Prayer, Duty, and for Victory In Our life", which in truth is God praying to God from within us, and is God performing God's duty from within us, and is God "Curing Himself" of everything that is "separating God from God" within us, so in the end, there is "No Child Left Behind", so in the end, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us. Amen. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, for example, in the last paragraph of this beautiful discourse, and as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Introduction, "It is God's Beauty within us that worships God within us, and it is God's Qualities within us that perform God's duty from within us, and it is God's Modesty within us that overcomes the fascination of torpor within us, and it is God's Peace of Mind within us that overcomes the illusion or maya within us, and it is God's Remembrance of God within us, God's Remembrance to Pray to God within us, that allows us to lose both happiness and sadness within us." Bawa. And certainly not anything that we do in our current state, in our current state of trying to live a life of selfishness, of sin, of arrogance, karma, and illusion, of mind and desire, on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True", because God is closer to us than our own breath, and our brothers and sisters in truth are rays of light that have been born with us, in the world of soul, in this world, and in the hereafter, and the Creation of God is the Earth of God within us within which our soul, the "Seed of God" within us has been planted. And this is the truth of us, and of God within us. Amen. Bawa. But if we continue to ignore all of God efforts to teach us the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, that in truth "We are all One", that is, that God within us, and what is "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" within us with what is "Within God" within us, and the Creation of God within us, and the "Seed of God" which is our soul, and the wisdom of God surrounding our soul, as the Guardian of the Soul, both of which have been planted within the Creation of God within us, like an apple seed buried within the earth, and "us" if we like, as the Witness, as the Witness of the Story of God within the Creation of God within us, and within that, of the "Story of True Man" within the "Story of God" within the Creation of God within us, are in truth "All One", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, because for our age, this is our birthright, this is our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, the "given of our life", and the only question left for our age, is "Do we want it". Bawa. That is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us? That's it. That is all of it, for our age. Amen. Bawa. And our own life answers this question for us, that is, "what do we want", by the way that we have lived our life in the world, either as "One with" God within us, or continuing to try and live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, no matter what, no matter what God may say and show us to the contrary. Bawa. Like showing us our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, showing us His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), and giving us this beautiful explanation, as "our own life speaking to us", if we like. What more can God do? Bawa. And if we continue to ignore all of God's efforts, and continue to live in our current state on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, then what is God to do but in the end give us exactly what we want, which if we die to the flesh in our current state is an eternal life as "separate from" God, and the "suffering of the grave", and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) become our lot for eternity, with "us" meeting the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits in the grave, roaming the earth world within us as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost until Qiyamah, and then with "us" taking on as part of our judgment 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, and in this way, with "us" taking on as part of our judgment an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. And with "us" receiving all of this within us in accordance with the "Justice of God" within us, "For the "Justice of God" within us is that, whatever we intend is what we will receive." Bawa. At least this is something to think about, a little, Yes? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. May we all think about these beautiful wisdom points a little, at least a little bit, if we like, for the Choice to do this or not, with our life, that is, to let God finish telling "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. That would be very good. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). ============================================================== Original Version - of Spiritual Discourse 04, without an Outline and Summaries His Holiness Teaches Us: May the unfathomable Ruler of grace, the One who is incomparable love, protect My Babies, My Children who are yet to be born, My loving Children, My Grandchildren, My little Children, My older Children, all My Children. May Allah protect you, your parents, your grandparents, and their parents. May He grant all of you long lives free of illness and bless you with His undiminishing wealth in the three worlds. Jeweled lights of My eyes, My Children, you are the happiness within My happiness, the heart within My heart, the wisdom within My wisdom, and the love within My love. You are Children God has given Me, My very own Children, My beautiful and wise Children. I am constantly praying to God on your behalf. I am praying to God that all of you live in a state of goodness, day and night, within and without, in darkness and light, in happiness and sadness. I am praying to God that He grant you the state of His peace, in the world of souls, in this world, and in the next world. I am praying that all of you reach the state of peace in which you separate from yourselves all that separates you from one another. I am praying that with His grace God grant your that state of unity. Jeweled lights of My eyes, my very own Babies, God, the mighty Emperor of the eighteen thousand universes created everything; there is nothing that He has not created. He created all the heavens, all the hells, the lands, and the oceans, the sun, the moon, and the stars, the trees and the bushes, the fish, and insects, the jinns and fairies, all the angels and prophets, and the human being. God created the human being as His best creation and placed all of His Creation within man, all the good and all the evil. Man's duty is to discard what is bad, and keep what is good. Jeweled lights of My eyes, My Children, My loving Children, when you have God's qualities, I am happy. God's qualities are like drops of a soft spring rain falling into your hearts, causing everything in your hearts to become green and fragrant. However, when you do not act with God's qualities, the heart becomes like a desert, dry and parched, and all the green turns to brown. I am constantly praying to God that all My Children act with God's qualities. O God, You must come to give My Children Your grace. Please come to fulfill all the needs of My Babies. O God, You must come here now to give My Babies Your grace so that they may reach the shore (of the hereafter or next world or akhirah within us). Please give My Children the faith to search for You forever. Please protect My Babies. Please let Them merge with You. Please destroy all of Their torpor, all of Their illusion, and all of the veils that conceal Your grace from Them. O God, may You bless My Children with Your Beauty, so that They may worship You. Give Them Your Qualities, so They may do (Your) duty, give Them (Your) modesty, so They might overcome the fascination of torpor, give Them (Your) peace of mind, so They might overcome maya (illusion), and give Them (Your) remembrance to always pray, so that They may lose both happiness and sadness. Give all My Children Your grace and Your protection forever. Amen. ============================================================== Comments On Discourse Topics - by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) Outline of Comments - (Page 2 Only) with a Short Summary of Outline Topic 1-8. What Is The Wealth of the Three Worlds? - it is how we resolve "Catch 22", that is, how we resolve the problem that "we can't get there from here", and it is how we solve the problem of the apple seed looking for an apple tree, or trying to bear fruit, without the apple tree, or of a fish looking for water, all of which is the dilemma of our current state, that is, if we will only join in partnership with God within us to look at "us" through the "Eyes of our Shaikh" within us 1-8-A. How We Resolve The Dilemma of "Catch 22" In Our Life - that is, "That we can't get there from here", or more to the point, "That we can't get to God within us from our Current State" on the "outside" of us, that is, with "us" trying to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from " God within us, all of which is "Just not True" 1-8-B. Establishing the "Presence of God" Wthin Us - by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us 1-8-C. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" Within Us - is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how They reveal "Our Oneness" within us, for the benefit of all of "Us" within us 1-8-D.

My dearest loving brothers and sisters, the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, or the "Mubarakat or Rahmat of Allah" within us, is how we resolve "the dilemma" of "Catch 22" in our current life and state, that is, how we resolve the problem that "we can't get there from here", which is the great enigma of our life, of all life, which is sort of like the problem faced by an apple seed buried within the earth that hears about a thing called an "apple tree" and an "apple fruit", and the sweet taste of an apple, and decides that it wants these things, and then sets out to find them, or the problem of the "fish looking for water", all of which is just as silly as you or I looking for God, or for the kingdom of God, or for salvation on the "outside" of us, in our current state of "separation and differences", acting on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us. Lets join together to investigate into this a little, Ok? 1-8-B. Establishing the "Presence of God" Wthin Us - by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us Bawa. And lets start off, as we did in the our investigation of the last topic, that is, "What is the blessing of God?", and first establish the "Presence of God" within us, by saying the Name of God for our age, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by saying the Name of God for our age, that is, the Name of our wisdom, the Name of the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, in this way, causing our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, to "stand up" within us, and causing our mind and desire, or "our presence" on the "outside" of us, to "sit down", both within us and on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And the Name of God for our age, the Name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom for our age, is "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and now on the "outside" of us, is the Name of His Childen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is the Name of each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, which is our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our eternal reward. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, with "us" stepping back on the "outside" of us, allowing God to step forward within us, that is, allowing our wisdom to stand up, so our mind and desire within us, and "our presence" on the "outside" of us, will sit down, and then hand this investigation to our wisdom, and to God within our wisdom, and try and lis ten with our faith, with our "Perfectly Pure" faith, that is, with our Iman, to what is being discussed within the "Heart of God" within us, about this Topic, which is what this child has learned to do. Ok? 1-8-C. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" Within Us - is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how They reveal "Our Oneness" within us, for the benefit of all of "Us" within us Bawa. And when we do this, when we "step back" so God can "Step Forward", the following clarity comes into the heart of this child, which in truth is God speaking to us, from within all of us, to the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept the following as this, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. The "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us is heaven and hell within us, good and evil within us, and the qualities of God within us, in that order, all of which is the vehicle of God within us, to tell His Story within us, that is, all of which is how God within us tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and how True Man within God within us, tells and Completes "His Story" within the Creation of True Man within the "Story of God" within the Creation of God within us, all of which in truth makes up the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, all of which is how God reveals God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. And all of which, in truth, like the apple seed buried within the earth, is the Story that we have come to this earth, to join with the earth to tell, which in our case, is to come to this earth world within us, to join in partnership with God within us, to tell, that is, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way or not, like the Choice made by each apple seed buried within the earth to germinate or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. But currently we are not experiencing any of this, any of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, that is, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. And all of which is just a dream, a dream that God is currently having within us, and in this way, "we" in our current state on the "outside" of us is in truth God's dream within us, a dream within which "we" are living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us, with the 9 openings of our illusory body now ruling over us, that is, in God's dream, with "God's Permission", until we "See God and Steady God" within us, if we like. Bawa. And in this way, if we like, allowing God to then intervene in our state, that is, when God awakens from His dream within us, because we become truly "done with our life" on the "outside" of us, because we truly become done with our life within God's dream within us, and in this way, allowing God to then awaken from His dream within us, and set about "Curing Himself of us", that is, allowing God to set about changing "our state", both within us and on the "outside" of us, that is, of changing "our state" of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, which we are aware of, and "our state" of "separation and differences" within us, which we are not aware of, into "His State" within us, for in truth our current state within us, which we in truth are not aware of, are all of the lies of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grown within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and which now rule over us in maturity as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission". Bawa. That is, allowing God to change "our state" both within us, and on the "outside" of us, that is, our state of "separation and differences", into to "His State" within us, into "His state" of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity" within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, that is, to allow God to transform it from "our current state" both within and on the "outside" of us, into "His state" within us, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Bawa. A transformation of state within us that only God within us can accomplish within us, once we have truly joined in partnership with God within us, that is, joined in partnership with our awakened wisdom within us, and with God within our awakened wisdom within us, allowing Them within us to do battle with and win over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, win over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, if we like, all of which is our current state of "separation and differences", both within us and on the "outside" of us. Bawa. That is, with God within us winning over the "Enemy of the soul" within us, if we like, all of which is just part of God within us telling, and bringing to Completion within us, "His Story" within the Creation of God within us, and is just part of True Man within God within us, telling and bringing to Completion "True Man's Story" within "God's Story" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we like. Bawa. For again, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life as how God within us, and True Man within God within us, tell and bring to Completion what They have already started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to tell and bring to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, So that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", So that in the end, that nothing still exist as "separate from" God within us, all of which is our Choice, not God's Choice within us, or True Man's Choice within God Choice within us. Amen. Bawa. Something to at least think about a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, Yes? Bawa. So how does all of this work, since because of our current state, we still fall into this dilemma of "Catch 22", the dilemma that "We can't get there from here", or more to our point, "We can't get to God from our current state". Bawa. So now lets join together in partnership with God within us, that is, with our wisdom within us, and with God within our wisdom, to establishing the "Presence of God" within us, and do this by calling out the Name of God for our age, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us to do over 2000 years ago, but for our age, do it by saying the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), or now on the "outside" of us, by saying the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, and in this way, see what They are discussing about this Topic within us, within the Heart of God within the Children of God for our age, as this child has learned to do. Ok? Bawa. So how do we overcome the dilemma of "Catch 22", which is the real dilemma of our life in our current state, the dilemma that "We can't get there from here", that is, that "We can't get to God" from our current state of "apparent separation from" God, that is, from our current state of living a life of "separation and difference" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. All of which is like an apple seed buried within the earth starting to look for the apple tree, that is for its source, from which it has come, without the aid of the earth that it is buried within us, as many of us are currently trying to do, that is, searching for God without the aid of God, that in truth we are buried within, or like the apple seed trying to bear fruit, that is, trying to fulfill its purpose, without the aid of the apple tree, also as many of us are currently doing, that is, trying to fulfill our purpose without God's direct intervention in our life. Bawa. That is, with the apple seed buried within the earth trying to find its source, and fulfill its purpose in ignorance of its true source and in ignorance of its true purpose, rather than realizing, understanding, and accepting, the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, which in our case is in truth the purpose of these Spiritual Comments, which in truth is "Our own life speaking to us", which in truth is the "Word of God" for our age, from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, if we like, for the Choice to accept them as such, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And upon hearing this truth from within it, the apple seed can then either germinate or not to this truth, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within them, and if it does so Choose to use its life in that way, that is, to reveal the apple tree hidden within it, and the apple fruits hidden within the apple tree within it, then the apple seed joins as "One with" the earth, and the earth then joins as "One with" the apple seed, and the apple seed germinates, that is, germinates to the truth hidden within it, that in truth it is an apple seed buried within it, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and bear fruit, and in this way, the apple seed lets the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, and the apple seed germinates, become the apple tree, and bears fruit. Bawa. And this dilemma of our life, that we are now looking into in these Spiritual Comments, that is, with our wisdom, and with God within our wisdom, that is, with a "Little help from our Friends" within us, the dilemma that we "Can't get to God within us" from here, from "Our Current State", is what we will now look at in a little more detail, that is, after we establish the "Presence of God" within us, as we have learned to do earlier. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, shed some light on the "True Problem of our Life", which is our current state within us, not anything that we are doing, or are not doing on the "outside" of us, that is, that from our current state, from our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True", we "Can't get to God" within us, and as a result we become faced with the same kind of problem faced by the fish who sets out to look for water, instead of realizing that in truth, "It is water", that without water it couldn't exist. Bawa. So in truth we must begin to realize that, "We are of God" within us, not of anything that we think in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance that we are experiencing on the "outside" of us, that without God within us we wouldn't exist, that in truth we are "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, that in truth we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and within that "We are of True Man" within God within us, that in truth we are "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And in this way, we are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and like the apple seed buried within the earth, this is a Story that "We" have come to the earth world within us to tell, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, that is, to tell and bring to Completion "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, and "True Man's Story" within "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, and not True Man's Choice within God's Choice. Bawa. And that unless we come to this realization within us, and join in partnership with God within us, to change "Our state" within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, then we will forever fall into this category of "Catch 22", that is, "That you can't get there from here", which was made famous by a movie of the same name in 1970's. Bawa. So my dearest loving brothers and sisters, here is how it works, to deal with this "Catch 22" aspect of our current state, that we "Can't Get to God" within us from our current state, and that is to "Expand our Consciousness" to include God within us, and what is "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, as part of "Who we are", and of "Where we are", and of "What is happening" in our life, and to make these other "Parts of us" to be totally dependent on the current "Part of us" in one way, and to be totally independent of the current "Part of us" in another way, in the same way that an elevator is totally dependent on us in one way, and yet totally independent of us in another way. Ok? Bawa. That is, an elevator is totally independent of us for its successful operation, that is, for its moving up and down, and for its power to move up or down, and for a safe ride up or down, and even for the music that we hear while riding up or down, as well as for the destinations that it can deliver us to. All of these aspects of the successful operation of an elevator are completely independent of us. Bawa. And yet, without us deciding if we want to go "up or down", and how far we want to go "up or down", that is to which floor we want to go to, either above or below the floor we are current on, the elevator and all of the potential that is contained within the elevator, cannot operate. For it is "we" who make the Choice, that is, whether the elevator carries us "up or down", not the elevator. Ok? Bawa. And the elevator does not care if we are white or black or brown, or yellow, or red, or even green for that matter, or if we are male or female, or even bisexual for that matter, of if we are American or Arab or German or Chinese, or even "Martian" for that matter, or if we are rich or poor, educated or unschooled, or a member of this or that group, like a Christian, or a Jew, or a Muslim, or a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, for none of these kinds of things, that seem to be so important to us, that is, that literally distinguishes us from one another, and actually currently define for us "who we are", are of any concern to the successful operation of the elevator. All the elevator wants from us is just one thing, and only one thing, and that is, do we want to go "up or down", and how far "up and down" do we want to go. That's it. And the elevator can then operate successfully for us. Ok. Bawa. Like this, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, like the elevator, does not care about all of this "Stuff of us", that we hold as so important, that we literally use to "define us", that is, to differentiate us from one another, and even to evaluate the success or failure of our life. Bawa. Instead, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, like the elevator, can operate successfully within us, completely independent of us, and only wants from us just one thing, and only one thing, and that is, do we want to go "up or down", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, which is "up", and is the only up, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which is down, and is the only down. Bawa. But unlike the elevator, God within us, and everything "Within God" within us, and "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, does not require and further clarification from us, other than "up or down". Bawa. That is, there is no need for any further clarification from us, like how far "up", or how far "down" we want to go, because in truth "God's Elevator" only has two buttons, that is, "up or down", and because in truth "God's Elevator" has only "One Destinations", as there is only "One God", and there is only "One Truth", and that "One and Only Destination" is God within us, and either we truly reach that "One and Only Destination" within us, or we don't, that is, either we become again "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", or not, for that "Or not" is not really a destination, it is just eternal "separation from" God, it is just not having reached the "One and Only Destination" within us, for one reason or another, for one issue or another, but it is certainly not a destination, as some of us still mistakenly believe, like a heaven on the "outside" of us near God within us, all of which is "Just not True", no, it is just not having become again "One with" God within us, and to stay in that state for eternity. Bawa. For hell is simple the realization that we have "separated ourselves" from God within us, which in truth is to have "separate us" from "Us", for eternity. Bawa. For in truth, 1) "There is nothing "outside" of us, Everything is within us". 2) "There is nothing other than God" within us. 3) "Only God exists" within us. 4) "God is One" within us. Bawa. So to overcome the "Catch 22" aspect of our current state, "That we can't get there from here", or more specifically, "That we can't get to God" within us, in our current state, we must start to "Use God within us to get to God within us", even though we cannot see or hear or smell or taste or feel or touch God on the "outside" of us. And that is why "We call it Faith". Bawa. For in the same way that an apple seed buried within the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree to grow within the earth, come to maturity, and bear fruit, revealing the sweet taste within the apple fruit, and again revealing the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold, so do we. Bawa. And this is the "Gift" of the "Mubarakat of God" within us , the "Gift" of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, the "Gift" of the world of souls or awwal within us, of this earth world or dunya within us, and of the next world or hereafter or akhirah within us, that we need to understand, both within us and as an Example on the "outside" of us, trusting in God within us, and trusting in what is "Within God" within us, and trusting in "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, all of which is Perfect both within us, and as an Example on the "outside" of us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to allow all of this to happen within us, or at least to truly start to happen within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, as our eternal reward, is our Choice, not God's, that is, is our Choice, not God's Choice, or True Man's Choice within God's Choice, that is, to let God reveal God within the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. All of which is like the Choice of the apple seed buried within the earth, that is, to germinate or not, to germinate to the Truth within it, or not, either letting the apple tree hidden within it come to maturity within the earth, or not, and in the process, revealing the apple seed within the sweet taste of the apple within the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth, or not, that is, after realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining as "One with" the "truth of itself" and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it, that naturally emerges from within it, when it is both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject this truth. Bawa. In this way, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, or not, that is, either telling and bringing to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of the apple tree and its apples" within it, or not, that the apple seed came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, or not. Bawa. All of which on the "outside" of us is an Example of the Choice that each of us must now make within us, in our age, before we die to the flesh in our current state, that is, either to join in partnership with God within us to reveal God within the sweet taste of True Man within God within us, hidden within the Creation of God within us, or not, that is, after realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining as "One with" the "truth of ourselves" and the "truth of the God" hidden within us, that naturally emerges from within us, when we are both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject this truth, as we now are. Bawa. And in this way, if we like, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, or not, that is, either joining in partnership with God within us to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of the "Oneness of the God and True Man" within us, that like the apple seed buried within the earth, we have came to the earth, that is, to this earth world within us, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, or not, for like the apple seed buried within the earth, the Choice is ours, is each of ours buried as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, not God's. Amen. Bawa. And my dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is the "Gift" of the "Mubarakat of God" within us , the "Gift" of the "Wealth of the Three Worlds" within us, which is the "Gift" of the world of souls or awwal within us, of this earth world or dunya within us, and of the next world or hereafter or akhirah within us, that we need to understand, both within us, and as an Example, on the "outside" of us, if our life is to become truly successful in our lifetime, because these "Three Worlds" within us, not just this one illusory world on the "outside" of us, is what makes up and defines "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening" to us. Bawa. And this is how we can transcend this apparent dilemma of the "Catch 22" of our current life on the illusory "outside" of us, that "We can't get to God within us from our current state", a current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, all of which is just a dream that God is having within us, a Dream of God within us that God willingly and freely entered within us, with the trust that when we truly hear the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us, we will "Stop participating" in God's Dream within us, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance we are currently experiencing as the illusory "outside" of us. Bawa. And to convince God within us to awaken from His Dream within us and Complete what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, all of which caused God to enter His Dream within us in the first place, that is, in order to get "us" to join in partnership with God within us, to reject the current "outside" of us, to reject God dream within us, a dream of us living a life of "separation from" God on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separation from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. And instead to bring about God's Truth within us, which is "Oneness with" God within us, and "Oneness with" everything that God is "One with" within God within us, which is everything within us, that is, to reject the dream that we are currently experiencing on the "outside" of us, which is our current life of "separation and differences", of arrogance, karma, illusion, mind and desire, on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, which in truth are the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden". Bawa. All of which in maturity have become our current life of desire for earth, women, and gold on the "outside" of us, and all of which now falsely defines for us, "who we are", and "where we are", and "what is happening" in our life, all of which is "Just not True", and instead, to join in partnership with God within us, to place our trust in God within us, and only in God within us, and in this state, to join in partnership with God within us, to "seek ourselves within ourselves", and in the process discover through the 7 levels of wisdom or consciousness that God has lovingly and ever so carefully placed within us, like gems within the earth, who "we truly are", and "where we truly are", and "what is truly happening" in our life, all of which becomes the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's, the Choice to either let the current Dream of God within us, define "us" as the "outside" of us, and when we die to the flesh in that state, get that, get an eternal "separation from" God as our eternal reward within us, or to join in partnership with God within us, to let God within the Creation of God within us and True Man within the Creation of True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, define us, by finishing and bringing to Completion what They have started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, like each apple seed buried within the earth is the whole tree, is all of the tree, and nothing less than that, if it like. Bawa. So too the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice about what defines us, both now and for eternity, that is, the Choice about what defines "What's Now" for us until the "outside" of us is over, and what defines "What's Next" for us then, that is, when we do die to the flesh, "What's Next" for us in the hereafter, in the next world within us, in akhirah within us. Bawa. Then, that is, in akhirah, in the Next Chapter in "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us, and in the Next Chapter in "True Man's Story" within the Creation of True Man within "God's Story" within the Creation of God within us , "Who are we?" within us, and "Where will we be" within us, and "What will we be doing" within us, that is, within akhirah within us, and the Choices are only Two, and the Destination is only One, not more than this, as many of us still falsely believe. Bawa. That is, either as eternally "One with" God within us or as eternally "separate from" God within us, that is, either as "One with" God within us, as God within the Creation of God within us, that is, in the next Cycle of God-Man/Man-God within us, or as eternally "separate from" God within us, taking on 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling, that is, taking on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Amen. Bawa. And this is the truth within us, within each of us, like the apple tree and its fruits hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth,, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or know it or not, for this is our true heritage, the true birthright of each one of us, the true destiny of our soul, and in truth, we are currently hearing this truth of us, and of God within us, in these Spiritual Comments, which in truth are emerging from within us, from all of us living in this age, because now we are ready, ready to here them, and ready to either accept or reject them, for in truth this is "Why we were born", in to this earth world within us, in this age, that is, to hear these "Words of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, and to either accept or reject them. Bawa. All of which in truth is "our own life speaking to us", and the only question left is "Do we want it", that is, do we want an "Eternal life as One with God" within us, or an "Eternal life as Separate from God" within us, and in truth there is no other Choice, everything else in our life, everything that is happening on the "outside" of us, is just drama, and does not contain any truth, or any true Choice, everything else is just the drama of "I and you", of "mind and yours", and has to do with our current life of "selfishness", or "sin", our current life of "separation and differences" that we are living on the illusory "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just not True". Bawa. For in truth God is closer to us than our own breath, and our brothers and sisters in truth are within us, as the "Life of God" within God within us, as the "Rays of light coming from the Sun" within us, who were born with us in the world of souls, in this earth world, and in the hereafter or akhirah within us, and the Creation of God is really all within us, as the "Earth of God" within us, within which God has planted "His Seed" within us, which is our soul, just waiting for it to germinate to His Truth, and become "His Tree", and bear "His Fruits", if we like. Amen. Bawa. So now the Choice is ours, not God's, as God has already made His Choice, and He Chose "Oneness with" each of us, and now it is our Choice, to also Chose either "One with" God within us, or "separation from" God within us, and our own life answers this question for us, by the way that we live our life on the "outside" of us, either as "One with" God within us, or as we are currently doing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of u s, that is, as if we are "separate from" God within us. Bawa. And in this way, as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, through these Spiritual Comments, "At the end of time God would send One to say again everything that had been said before, by His 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, over and over again, in every age, but this time with no veils. "And everyone would hear it, and everyone would understand it, and all that will be left is "Do they want it", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and there is no other Choice. Amen." Bawa. And in this way, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, what you are now reading is the "Truth of us", and the "Truth of God" within us, for our age, but this time with no veils, and in truth it is now emerging from within us, not coming from the "outside" of us, and certainly not just from this fool, because now we are both ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject. Bawa. And this is now the "True Choice of Our Life", for our age, that in truth God has placed before us, in our age, that upon hearing this truth now, that is, upon hearing this "Truth of us" within the Creation of God within us, and this "Truth of God" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, in our age, we must now decide to either accept or reject it, that is, the truth that "we" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and that in truth God within us, God within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, is the "Seed of True Man". Bawa. And as such "we" are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and God is "True Man happening" within the Creation of True Man within us, that is, within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, if we like, for this Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to let this happen within us, to let God within us, and to let True Man within God within us, to use our life in this way, that is, to finish what They have started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to tell and being to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's Choice, and not True Man's Choice within God's Choice. Amen. Bawa. And this truly is now the "Choice of Our Life", for our age, to either accept this truth within us, or to reject this truth within us, and in this way, "we" are the ones who determine our eternal reward within us, not God within us, and there is no use trying to wiggle out of making a Choice, for in truth a "No Choice" is a Choice, is a Choice to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, and when we eventually do die to the flesh in our current state, with "us" getting an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us as our reward, with all of our "Going to hell" within us happening within the "Justice of God" within us. Bawa. For the "Justice of God" within us, tells us that, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive". Bawa. But if we do accept it, if we do accept this "Truth of us" and this "Truth of God' within us, as the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, coming to us from God within us through the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, which in truth is each of us, if we like, and then join in partnership with God within us, to Complete it, that is, to allow God within the Creation of God within us, and True Man within the Creation of True Man within us, that is, within God within the Creation of God within us, to finish what They have started within us, a very, very long time ago, then our life will truly become successful in our lifetime. Bawa. And God within us, and True Man within God within us, will do "Everything Else", both within us and on the "outside" to "Make it So" within us, which is to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within us. Bawa. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. May we all know this now, and start to act accordingly, that is, to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to "Make it So" within us. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa.
