Recent experiences of this child,
That is, of Bawa "Correcting the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),
That is, of Bawa "Curing Himself of you",
Of "you" living as if "you" are "separate from" God,
As if "you" are "separate from" each other,
And as if "you" are "separate from" the Creation of God,
Within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
That is,
"Of Bawa putting all of His Children within Himself, within "His Bag",
within the "Bag or Purse of the Qutb", like so many stones of little
value, with rough edges and dirt and all, and then with Bawa twirling
"His Bag", twirling His Children with their faults and all, letting one
stone bang off the rough edges of another, letting one stone polish the
others, until "You" come out as the perfect, polished gems of God, which
Bawa then hands to God, to God within you, if you like, for the Choice is
yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to stay in the "Bag of the Qutb", until
"He Is Done", or not."

Click HERE to "Review" Page 6 of this Document, that is, to "Review" Questions 50 to 58 Only
59. How Do You Get Rid of Your Bad Qualities?
Question asked by Mrs. Ganesan (Ral.) after the Sunday Meeting on 6-21-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. How Do You Get Rid of Your Bad Qualities, that is, How Do You Get Rid of Your Bad Thoughts, that is, before you become them for eternity, that is, before you become what then "separates God" from God within you for eternity
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. You get rid of your Bad Qualities Either by "you" continuing to "work for wages to get into heaven", Or by "you" Now Joining in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which is Now Joining in Partnership with Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased", and that is for sure. Amen. Ok?
Initial Review:
Bawa. For a "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world,
Disciple:
"Bawa, can you help me get rid of my selfishness"?
His Holiness:
"Michael, you don't understand, you "are selfishness". You look for yourself, you eat for yourself, you sleep for yourself, everything that you do is for yourself, for the benefit of yourself, in one way or another". That is the nature of the form of life that you are Now experiencing as "who you are", and as long as that form of life predominates in you, then all you ever will be is "selfishness", and there is nothing that I, or you, or even God can do to change that. Ok?"
"But that is not the only form of life that can occur within you, there is another form of life, which is a life of "selflessness", a life of "Oneness and Unity", of "Justice and Truth", of "Compassion and Unity" that can also occur within you, that is your "Light Life", that is the life of the soul liberated from the 5 elemental lives that Now rule over you, that is, earth lives, water lives, fire lives, air lives, and either lives."
"If you like, "We" can join together as One to bring forth this "Child of Light", which is your Next Life from within the "child of darkness", which is your "current life". Amen. Ok?"
60. Can The Guru Change Your Fate?
Question asked by "The Life" of Amin (Ral.) after the Sunday Meeting on
6-21-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. Can The Guru Change Your Fate, that is, can the Guru change what is written by "The Pen" on your forehead, as the intention of your parents in the world, that was written when you first came into the world, and if So, what is the requirement for the Guru to change it, what does the Guru change it to, and then what is your duty or responsibility concerning your New fate.
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. The Guru Can Change Your Fate to Either whatever you want or desire, and in this way, with the Guru enhancing whatever you bring to the Guru, So he can escape, Or The Guru can return you to the state of your first birth, when on your forehead is written Muhammadar Rasul Allah, allowing you to again realize the state of the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb of God, that is, the 6th level of wisdom of the Action of God, if you like.
Initial Review:
Bawa. That is, So the Guru can "destroy you", and reveal "You", that is, So the Guru can "destroy" the "person" and reveal the Guru within "the person", that is, So the Guru can "Cure Himself of you", if you like, that is, if you will only let Him, that is, if you will Only Stop working for wages to get to heaven, and Instead Start to join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you, and then within you, and Now for your age and for your life that means "you" Joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and Then within you.
61. Who Are You?
Question asked by "The Life" of Sulaha (Ral.) after the Sunday Meeting on
6-21-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. Who Are You? That is, "Are you" what you are currently experiencing in the world, is this what truly defines you, is this "who you are", or not.
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. That is, you are Either what your parents gave to you, joined together "like one", which is your body and mind, up to the third level of wisdom, or intellect, and the drama of "I and you" known as the "veil of thoughts" or karma, and the illusion that you Now see all the time on the "outside" of you known as maya, and the fate that is written by "The Pen" on your forehead as "the intentions" in the world of your parents,
Bawa. Or you are what God and the Guru gave to you joined together "As One", that is, as the Father of your soul, and of the wisdom surrounding the soul, which is the 6th level of wisdom, Divine Analytic Wisdom, and are you who God Sent to the world, who God sent to the First of God's Schools within you, which is the "School of Contrast", so you can learn about God's History, about Your History, and about the History of many others, by learning through "Contrast" about what is Now "separating your soul" from God, and having learned these lessons, and graduating
from this "School of Contrast", go off to the Next of God's Schools, within you, to the "School of Light", where God will teach God about God?.
Bawa That is, you are Either Jesus (peace be upon Him), Or you are His Cross, and the 5 nails that keep Him nailed to His Cross, which in truth are "your desires" to live on the illusory "outside" of you, like a demon, jinn, fairy, and ghost, and sin, that is, to continue living your current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you as "a person", as a "false fellowship" of "like minded people who come together to talk, and talk, and talk about Everything, including to talk about God, but never with the intent to "Become God", and Now to talk about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), but never with the intent to "Become Bawa".
Initial Review:
Bawa. For in truth, the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of "Who you are", and in truth you are Either the Soul, the wisdom surrounding the soul, and the Qualities of God, Or the "Shirt for the soul", and the consciousness and qualities of the Creation of God, that is, of those Creations of God who joined with "the satan", as those who "refused" to line up behind Adam (peace be upon Him) to pray to God, as those who were thrown out of paradise, and who Now live in darkness within your "heart or mind or room", as the lives of darkness and evil that Now
collectively define you.
Bawa. That Now collectively define the hidden part of you, which is the "within" or "inside" of you, that is Now the Cause of the illusory "outside" or Example of you, that is, an Example of the "current life" of "separation and differences" that you are Now living on the illusory "outside" of you, as "a person", as the "false fellowship", that is, of "like minded people" who come together to talk about Everything, including God.
Bawa. And Now in your age about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now even about the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), but Never To Become Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), by Now Becoming Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" and Then within you, that is, but Never To Become God.
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world,
"Man is God
in the forgetting of himself"
And:
"The Understanding of today
becomes the Enemy of tomorrow"
And:
"The more you know about God
the further away from you God moves"
And:
"The Only thing that can return to God
Is what Came from God,
And what Came from God is the soul,
And the wisdom surrounding the soul,
Everything else grew here,
And cannot go to God,
And in truth has no intention to go to God,
No matter what "you" may say"
And:
"The things that change are not your real life,
Within you is another Body, another Beauty,
It belongs to that Ray of Light that Never Changes.
You must Discover "How To" Mingle
And Become "One with" this Unchanging Thing.
You must Realize and Understand this Treasure of Truth.
This is why you have come into the world"
62. What Is Your Conscience?
Question asked by Muhaiyaddeen Suhiba (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on
6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. What Is Your Conscience, and what part does your conscience play in the journey of the soul back into God, but this time with an Understanding of who "You Already Are", So You will never leave your "Oneness with" God again?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Your Conscience is Either what you can Now learn about and use to correct yourself, to improve yourself, to better understand yourself, and to better help other people do the same.
Bawa. Or your Conscience is what you destroyed in the process of becoming "a person", a person who is Now living a life of "separation and differences", of selishness, of sin, on the illusory "outside" of yourself, that is, a person who is Now living on the "outside" of you as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Initial Review:
Bawa. In this way, Your Conscience, like your wisdom, your soul, your goodness, your life as the "Presence of God", as the "Intention of God", and as the "Story of God", all being lived "selflessly" within you, as the "From of God" within God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, is what you destroyed within your "heart, or mind, or 'room" to become "a person".
Bawa. That is, to become the "child of darkness", the "child of the satan", with the "form of the satan", that is, to become the flower of hell, the 8th hell, with the 7 hells Now filling your heart, or mind, or "room", all of which is Now filling you as lives of falsehood and darkness and evil, as the "very real but false" inside of you.
Bawa. That is, in order for you to become Everything that God has discarded in order to become God within you, that is, in order for you to become "a person" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as if you are "separate from" God, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is a dream, and all of which is therefore "Just Not True".
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children the following when "We were living in the world,
"Dispel the dreaming of the mind
And see the radient wisdom
Of the beauty of the soul"
[The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh - # 191,
by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)]
Bawa. In this way, Your Conscience is Just One Aspect, One Facet", of God within you, that is, of the "One with" that you destroyed to establish your life as the "dreaming of the mind", that is, as the "separate from", that is, as "a person", as Now "your parents", as Now the "your fellowship", So how can you use this same "dreaming of the mind", this same "separate from" to learn about "Your Conscience", to learn about your "One with", to learn about God, when in truth your entire life, including your conducting a meeting about "The Conscience", and your explaining your understanding of what you read about "The Conscience", even from the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), is just using, and reinforcing, and affirming the "dreaming of your mind"?
Bawa. And as "We" told My Children the following when "We" were living in the world,
"The only thing valuable on the "Path of God" is God.
So You must use God to get to God, not "you", that is,
you cannot use what God has discarded to get to God,
and everything that you are Now experiencing as "your life",
that is, on the "outside" & "inside" of you, that is,
everything that Now defines "you" as "a person",
as Now "your parents"
as Now a "false fellowship" of "like minded people",
who talk, and talk, and talk about God,
is what God has discarded, that is,
that God has discarded from within Himself within you,
In Order To Become God within you.
So Now you must "Do The Same"
By Getting God To "Do It Again",
But this time within you,
This Time within your "heart or mind or room"
(From a discourse by His Holiness
to the "Claymont Group")
63. What Is The Path To God?
Question asked by "The Life" of Assia (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on 6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. What Is The Path To God, that is, just what is the "Path To God", who walks this path, what blocks progressing on this path, and what opens up this path when it is blocked?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. The Path To God is Either what "you" walk as you learn more and more about God by studying the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), by doing prayers, by attending meetings at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, and by doing duty related the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, as much as you can, as often as you can.
Bawa. Or the Path to God is what "you" have to Let God grow within you, and Let God place before God within you, So God within you can reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Initial Review:
Bawa. And what blocks God from growing the Path of God within you, and from using it to Complete telling His Story Again, but this time within you, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that is, of God revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, is "you", that is, is your "current life" of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and mind and desire, which Now predominates the life of all of My Children, that is, a life of "self focus", of "self consciousness", which is the "falsehood" and "darkness" of your life, rather than a life of "God Focus", or "God Consciousness", which is the "Truth" and "Light" of Your Life. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And what Opens the Path of God within you, when it is Closed, that is, what Causes the grace of God to Start to flow in your life, when that grace of God Now isn't flowing, is for "you" to Stop reinforcing and affirming the "falsehood and darkness" of your life, that is, by "you" Stepping Back, inviting God to to Step Forward, before you "Say or Do or Write" Anything, that is, by "you" Saying The Word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), and Now "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), they are Now all One, before you "Say or Do or Write" Anything, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
64. Why Does God Create People?
Question asked by "The Life" of Kadija (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on 6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. Why Does God Create People, that is, what is the role that being "a person" plays in the journey of your soul back to God, and what is both the benefit and the danger to the Path of God with you becoming "a person"?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either God Creates People to teach you about Himself, So if you obey God's Commandments and work hard for wages to get into heaven, you will enjoy a good and happy life in this world, and then, after you die to the flesh, you will enjoy an eternal life in the heaven that God has created for "His People", as My Children Now mistakenly believe, but to your peril,.
Bawa. Or In Truth God Does Not Create People, but rather "the satan" does, that is, God Creates your soul and the wisdom surrounding your soul, and "people create people", in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance, all of which in truth is a trick of "the satan" to lead "you" astray.
Bawa. That is, the idea or thought or concept of "people", or of "you" living as "a person", or of "you" being "a person", is the "great trick" of "the satan", that is, the "great trick" of "the satan" to keep the Children of Adam (Ral.) living as the "life and form" of "the satan", rather than as the "Life and Form" of God, as God Intended for all of His Children, that is, until the "clock runs out", that is, a trick of "the satan" to keep the Children of Adam (Ral.) living as if you are "separate from" God within
you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. That is, until you die to the flesh, So "the satan" can then harvest "you" as "his crop" and take you yelling and screaming to "his hell", all with "God's Permission", that is, after "the satan" emerges from within one or more of "his children or people", as "the beast", and is blinded by the "Light of the soul", which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok?
Initial Review:
Bawa. In this way, as "We" taught My Children the following, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),
Disciple:
"Why does God create people?"
His Holiness:
"Jacob, God does not create people,
"people create people".
Your mother and father rolled around like snakes on a bed and created you,
and a little while later you will do the same".
Bawa. And as "We" are Now Again teaching My Children, this same wisdom point, but Now as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) living in the world, that is, Now as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen(Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", Now First living in the world on the "outside" of you, and then, Next living within you as akhirah or the hereafter or the Next World or the Kingdom of God, Here and Now, if you like.
Bawa. For the Choice to Now yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to Now fall into Him, or not, that is, the Choice to Now fall into the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Here and Now, or not, and in this way, To Now Become Him, Here and Now, or not.
Bawa. That is, Either To Now Become the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Here and Now, which in truth is Now To Become the Judgment and Salvation of all of the Creation of God, before the grave, and which in truth is Then To Become akhirah or the hereafter or the Next World or the Kingdom of God, Here and Now, after the grave, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Or after you die to the flesh to live an eternal life within you as "separate from" Him, that is, as "separate from" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) all of which in truth Now means as "separate from" God within you, and all of which Later means, as "separate from" the kingdom of God within you.
Bawa. All of which is Now Your Choice, not God's Choice, and certainly not Bawa's Choice, and Now certainly not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's Choice. So please Choose Wisely. Truly Your Eternal Life Depends Upon It. Amen. Ok?
65. What Causes Your Mind To Sit Down?
Question asked by "The Life" of Robert (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on 6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. What Causes Your Mind To Sit Down, and what do you have to do to get this to repeatedly happen in your life, that is, for your mind to sit down, and for God to stand up, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has Now learned to do?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. What Causes "Your Mind" To Sit Down Is Either "you" learning how to do this, that is, by "you" learning more and more about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by your prayers, by your understanding, by your duty, that is, by "you" developing the qualities and actions of God.
Bawa. Or What Causes "Your Mind" to Sit Down is "Your Wisdom" Standing Up, that is, by "you" Starting "To Use God To Get To God" within you, that is, by "you" Starting to Use the World to Get Rid of the World, that is, by "you" Starting to "Do Business" with God, with "you" giving God what "you have", with each breath, look, word, taste, and thought, and God Then giving You what "God Has" in turn, and in this way, with "you" Letting "Yourself Be God", and with "you" Letting "God Be You", which in truth is both the "Truth of You" and the "Truth of God" within you, rather then all of the Current Craziness of My Children, all of which is both false, and of no real value to you, or to anyone else. It is Truly This Simple, My Dearest Loving Children. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. That is, by "you" learning How To Step Back, So "You" Step Forward, that is, by the Qualities of 'Your Higher Self" Starting To Win over the qualities of "your lower self", that is, by "you" Letting "Your Wisdom" Reason Over "your fate", that is, by "you" Getting Into what "God Is Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, and in this way, with you "Getting Out Of" what you Now mistakenly believe that "you are doing" on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which is absolutely nothing.
Bawa. And what "God Is Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, is God is Revealing God To God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with "you" Getting Rid of what "you" currently think you are doing on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, for in truth, you cannot Pick Anything New Up, if you are Not At The Very Same Time, Putting Something Old Down, for in truth there is No True Birth Without A True Death, and there is No True Death Without A True Birth, because This is How It Works, My dearest loving Children. This is How God Works, this is How God "Reveals Himself to Himself", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God. Amen. Ok?
Initial Review:
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world,
"Your mind will only sit down when your wisdom stands up, and your wisdom will only stand up when you call it, that is, when you call "Your Father, Your Shaikh, Your Guru", before "you" Stand up to "Do or Say or Write" anything.
"That is, when you ask "Us" To Destroy "you" and Reveal "Us", That is, when "you" ask "Us" To Destroy the "form and life" of "the satan" that Now fills your "heart or mind or room", and To Reveal "Us", To Reveal the "Form and Life" of God that Originally filled your "Heart or Mind or Room", but this time with an Understanding of "Who You Already Are", So it will Never Leave You Again, all of which in truth is "Your Oneness", rather than "your separation", all of which "We" will Most Certainly Do, if you will only Let "Us". So Please Let "Us".
"That would be Good. Good for Us, Good for You, and Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, for in truth "We Are All One". Amen. Ok?
And:
"Your room is dark because you took the light out, So don't curse the darkness, Instead invite the Light back in, but before your invite the Light back in you better understand why the Light left in the first place."
Bawa. And the Light left your "Heart or Mind or Room" in the first place because "you stood up" as "separate from", that is, when you entered your "Heart or Mind or Room" as "a person", as the "false fellowship", as the "false fellowship" of "like minded people" who come together to talk, and talk, and talk about Everything, even about "Us", but never in truth "To Become" anything that you talk about, and certainly never "To Become Us".
Bawa. So "We" as "One with" Everything had to leave your "heart or mind or room", to make room for "you" as "separate from" Everything, because in truth "you" destroyed "Us" within your "heart or mind or room", to make room for "you" within your "heart or mind or room, you destroyed the "Child of Truth & Light & Goodness" to make room for the "child of falsehood & darkness &evil", you destroyed the "Triple Flame" to make room for the "triple dirt", such is the Truth of your current life.
Bawa. For in truth, as "We" taught My Chilidren the following when "We" were living in the world,
"If you are there, then God is Not There,
And if God is there, then you are Not There"
Bawa. But "We" are still hidden within you, just waiting to Again fill your "heart or mind or room", if you like, that is, hidden within a tiny piece of flesh within you no bigger than an atom within you, like the entire apple tree is hidden within the apple seed, in a tiny piece of the apple seed no bigger than an atom, just waiting to germinate and reveal the entire apple tree, and all of its branches, and all of its flowers and fruits, and the sweet taste within each fruit, and within each fruit that sweet taste, and within that sweet taste again the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold", if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not "Ours".
Bawa. And So "We" wait, and wait, and wait, within you, for "you" to decide, for "you" to germinate to the "Truth of You" hidden within "you", or not, for like all apple seeds, not all people germinate to the Truth of yourself, instead some rot in the earth until they die, and are then absorbed into the earth, and then take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the apple seed, never again as the Story of the Apple, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree & The Apple", which in truth is the "Apple Seed", a Story which the "Apple Seed" has come from the "Apple Tree & Its Apple" to tell, that is, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, for the Choice to germinate or not, is its Choice, not the Choice of the Apple Tree or of the Apple.
Bawa. So too for all of My Children, the Choice is Now yours, not "Ours", that is, the Choice to Now germinate to the "Truth of You", to the "Truth of You" that has Now emerged from within you, as Now "Us", that is, as First Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and then as My Children, and as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, ShaikhMuhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you".
Bawa. And a Truth that all of My Children are Now ready to both hear, and ready to either Accept or Reject, if you like, all of which in truth is the First Part of the Story of God within you, that is, of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, with the First Part of God's Story Now being the "Story of True Man within God" within you, that in truth you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Earth of God within you, just waiting to geminate and reveal the "Tree of God" within you, and bear the "Fruit of God", within God within you, and as such, "You" are "God happening" within the Creation of God, within God within you, and as such "You" are How all of God's Creation returns to God within you, if you like, from which Everything has come, like the rain falling back into the ocean, from which it has come, Again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, having completed its duty as rain".
Bawa. And hidden within That "Truth of You" is the "Truth of God", which is the Second Part of the Story of God, that is, the "Story of God within True Man", that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man", that is, God is "True Man Happening", God is How True Man returns to God, from which He has Come, like the Ray of Light returning to the Sun, from which It has come, Again becoming the Sun, no longer existing as a Ray of Light, having completed Its duty as a Ray of Light". Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And in this way, and Only in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, can any of My Children truly return to God, that is, as the "Grace of God Returning To God", by First becoming True Man within God, and then by becoming God within True Man, for Only "Truth Can Surrender To Truth", Only this is Surrender, Everything Else is just Drama, is just "falsehood surrendering to falsehood", all of which is the Drama of "I and you", the Drama of "mine and yours".
Bawa. And the Only Way To Win the Drama of "your current life" as the "form and life" of "the satan", is "Not To Play", and the Only Way Not To Play, is to Get God To Play, that is, to "Use God To Get To God", that is, to hand "your drama" to God, that is, to "Use the World to Get Rid of the World", with each breath, with each look, with each word, with each taste, and with each thought, making "you" God's Problem, not "your problem", as all of My Children are now mistakenly doing, but to your peril.
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with "you" allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", and in this way, with "you" letting God Again tell and bring to Completion His Story, but this time within you, this time within your "Heart or Mind or Room", for in truth, Then and Only Then, "Your Mind Will Sit Down, When Your Wisdom Stands Up", because "You Let It Be True", that is, because "You Let Yourself Be God". Amen. Ok?
66. What Is The Most Important Question To Ask?
Question asked by "The Life" of Abdul Bajir (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on
6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. What Is The Most Important Question For A Disciple To Ask, and to know the correct answer to, So your effort is appropriate for your station, that is, So your soul can successfully progress on the "Path of God" within you, So God can continue to Again tell and bring to Completion God's Story, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, So in the End, there is No Child Left Behind, So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen. Ok?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. The Most Important Question For A Disciple To Ask, and to know the correct answer to, is Either How do "you" learn more and more about the life and teaching of the Guru/Shaikh for your age, that is, about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, and Now about the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, if you like, How do "you" merge with the Guru, and How do "you" reach and merge with God, or if you like, How do "you" best work for wages to get into heaven.
Bawa. Or The Most Important Question is "What Is My Current Station", that is, "What Is My Current State", and How does the disciple Correctly Join in Partnership with the Guru to "Change Your Current State" to Your Next Station or State, which is the Station or State of the Guru/Shaikh, and then How the Guru/Shaikh Join in Partnership with God to Become God, that is, How does the Guru/Shaikh Destroy the Disciple and Reveal the Guru/Shaikh, and How does God Destroy the Guru/Shaikh and Reveal God, that is, How Does God Tell and Bring To Completion His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God, within God within you. Amen. Ok?
Initial Review:
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and as "We" are Now teaching My Children the following Again in the world as My Children, that is, as My Children teaching My Children, that is, as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Amen. Ok?
"The most important question for the disciple to ask,
And to know the correct answer to
is,
"What is my current station or state".
For Only Then
Will "your effort be appropriate to your station or state"
Bawa. For example, if you think that you are Now an apple tree ready to bear fruit, but in truth you are an apple seed buried in the earth that has not germinated, that is, you are living as if you are "separate from" the earth, and as if you are "separate from" the apple tree hidden within you, and as if you are "separate from" the fruits of that apple tree, then nothing that you are currently doing will cause you to germinate to "your truth", then nothing that you are currently doing will change your "current state" of "separate from", and that is for sure.
Bawa. For all that you do is always just a reflection of your "current state", and if you don't correctly know your "current state" then nothing that you do will be truly appropriate for your "current state", and as a result nothing that you do will change your "current state".
Bawa. For example, if your "current state" is one of "separation from", which in truth is the "current state" of all of My Children, then nothing that you Now do in that state of "separation from" is truly appropriate for what You Will Next Do, if you like, that is, if you successfully join with God to make the transition to your Next State, to your Next State of "Oneness with", First on the "outside" of you and then within.you.
Bawa. And as a result nothing that you do in your "current state" will be of any real value to either you or anyone else, like your prayers of "separating from", and your duty of "separation" from, and your understanding as "separate from", although My Children will find it easier to "live in the world" by doing these things in "your current" state of "separation from".
Bawa. But doing these things in "your current" state of "separation from" will not do anything to effect your current state of "separation from", like nothing that an "apple seed" does in ignorance of itself, in ignorance of the "Truth of Itself", all the while living as if it is "separate from" everything, will cause the apple seed to germinate, that is, will cause the apple seed to join as "One with" the earth to germinate to the "Truth of Itself".
Bawa. That is, doing these things in "its current" state of "separation from" will not do anything to cause the apple seed to be ready to germinate to the "Truth of Itself", that in truth it is an apple seed buried within the earth, ready to join as "One with" the earth, ready to destroy the apple seed, to destroy itself, and reveal the apple tree, that is, ready to revealing the apple tree hidden within it, allowing the apple tree to then bear fruit, and again reveal the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold.
Bawa. That is, as long as an apple seed does not yet know the "Truth of Itself", and the "Truth of what is hidden within it", that is, that in truth it is an apple seed buried in the earth, and that in truth the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow, Until Then all the apple seed can do is go on living in the earth as "separate from" waiting for the truth to emerge from within it, So it can then Choose, that is, So it can then Choose to germinate to the "Ttruth of Itself", or not.
Bawa. So it is Now for all of My Children, that is, Now it is time for all of My Children to germinate to the "Truth of You", or not, which is Now the "Truth of True Man", which is "Us", within God within you, all of which is Now the "Truth of God" within you, all of which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which is just waiting to germinate within you, if you like.
Bawa. All of which is where "We" Now reside within you, that is, as what is Now "Within God" within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, and all of which in truth is Now hidden within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth has Now emerged from within each of My Children, but all of which My Children are Now Only experiencing as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, as "separate from" you, as "a person" just like you, but all of which in truth is within you, as "Your Wisdom", as "You" as the "Presence of God", as "You" as the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for all life, as Now in truth "Who You Are", and "Where You Are", and "What Is Truly Happening" in your life, in the life of all of My Children. And this is Now the Truth of You, and of Us, and of God, if you like, all of which is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, if you like. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And Now within that, that is, Now within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, is "Us", and within that is Now You as "Us", as True Man, within God within you, if you like, and within that is Now You as God, that is, as the "Seed of True Man", all of which is within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. All of which is Now "God's Bank" within God within you, and what God is Now Doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is "God Revealing True Man" to True Man", which in truth is Now "Us", which in truth is Now revealing "You" as "Us", if you like, which in truth is Your Next Station, if you like, that is, when you are truly done with your "current station", that is, when Everything that you are Now trying to do as "separate from" Ends, because you Begin to Realize, Understand, Accept, and Join as "One with" the "Truth of You", that in truth Everything that you are Now trying to do as "separate from" is Now truly inappropriate for your current station or state of "separate from", become it is only truly appropriate for your Next Station or State of "One with".
Bawa. All of which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which you must Now accept, embrace, and Now live as "One with" on the "outside" of you, as much as you can, as often as you can, if you are ever to germinate to the "Truth of You", and to the "Truth of Us" within the "Truth of You", allowing God to Again finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you. And that is for sure.
Bawa. So the Choice is Now yours, not God, and not "Ours", and certainly not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.), that is, the Choice to Start To Let God Have His Way with you, by Stopping all of your Now letting "the satan" have his way with you.
Bawa. So the Choice is Now yours, not God, all of which is like the Choice of the apple seed buried within the earth, in ignorance of its current state, the Choice of the apple seed that then becomes aware of its "current state", that then becomes aware of "Its Truth", a truth will not cause the apple seed to germinate, joined as "One with" the earth, destroying the apple seed in order to reveal the apple tree hidden within the apple seed.
Bawa. So Now The Apple Seed Must Choose to germinate to "Its Truth" or not, after "Its Truth" emerges from within it, when it is ready to hear it, and ready to Either Accept Or Reject "Its Truth".
Bawa. And So Now each of My Children are Now Ready to "Hear Your Truth", and that is Now the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that in truth has Now Emerged From Within You, coming in truth to you Now as "Your Judgment" and "Your Salvation".
Bawa. And Now My Children Are Ready to Either Accept Or Reject "Your Truth", that is, My Children must Choose to germinate to "Your Truth" or not, Now before you die to the flesh, Now before the illusory "outside" of you is over.
Bawa. Realizing that in truth, like the apple seed, Not all of My Children will germinate to "Your Truth", Some like the apple seed will Reject "Your Truth", and like the apple seed who "Reject Its Truth", will rot in the earth, and in the End be absorbed into the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never Again as an Apple Seed, never Again as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", a Story that it came from the Apple Tree and Its Fruits, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell.

67. What Does It Mean - "God Praying To God"?
Question asked of Ahmad Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on
8-10-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. This is a question asked of Ahmad Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) while He was conducting a Sunday Morning meeting, that is, when he asked the question as part of his meeting, "Are there any questions", and someone asked him, "What does it mean, God praying to God"?
Bawa. A Question that gets at the very heart of "The Struggle" that all of My Children in truth are Now experiencing, that is, "The Struggle" between God and "What God Has Discarded" in order to become God within you, "A Struggle" between God and "the satan" that literally defines each of My Children, whether you know it or not, and even whether you like it or not, because in truth Only "This Stuggle" within you is really happening here in this world, not anything else that My Children Now think is "going on" on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is just "your drama", is just your drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours".
Bawa. And "This Stuggle", and the outcome of "This Struggle", for each of My Children will determine "Who You Will Be", and "What You Will Be Doing", and "Where You Will Be" in the Next World, that is, Either You as God in heaven, that is, You as True Man telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God within True Man, or the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, So in the End, There Is No Child Left Behind, So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen.
Bawa. Or you as "the satan" in hell, confronted by the Consequences of you living out your life as "a person", as "your parents", as a "false fellowship" of "like minded people" who come together to talk and talk about Everyone and Everything, including talking about God, but never coming together with God within you to become God within you, although God exists within man.
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. "God Praying To God" is Either something that occurs within you "after" you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of your is over, and you go to heaven, that is, after you go to another place similar to this place, but better, because you have been good, and did the right thing, here before you died.
Bawa. Or "God Praying To God" is what My Children must Now learn How To Do, or at least truly Start To Learn How To Do, "before" you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you, that is, if you are to become truly successful in your lifetime, that is, by you finding and then learning How To "Fall Into" the "Fire of God" that is Now burning in the world for your age and for all life, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?.
Initial Review:
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with you letting all that is Now "Separating God" from God within you be transformed into the "Presence of God'', and the "Word of God" made flesh within you, Now for your age and for all life, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?.
Bawa. That is, with you Now being transformed into the the "Maliki yawmid-deen" within you, into the "Master of the Day of Judgment" HERE and NOW within you, that is, with you Now being transformed into the Judgment and Salvation for the Creation of God, within God within you, that is, with you Now becoming the Understanding of God, that is, the "Scale of Balance'", with you Now becoming the "Siratul mustaqueem", that is, the "Straight Way or Path" which connects like a bridge the "World of souls" with the Next World, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?.
Bawa. That is, in this way, and only in this way, with you Now Joining in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, allowing all of Creation of God to Know the Difference between "Right and Wrong", between "Good and Evil", between "Truth and Falsehood", and then knowing this difference, for the Creation of God to Choose where they will spend eternity, that is, Either as "One with" God within you Or as "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. That is, for the Creation of God to spend eternity Either as God within Heaven within True Man within you, Or as "the satan" in hell within True Man within you, if you like.
Bawa. And if you Do like, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, And if the Creation of God Does Like, that is, if you Do Choose Wisely, if you Do Choose "Oneness with" God within you, Rather than "separate from" God within you, that is, Now Before Your Die To The Flesh, And Then if the Creation of God Does like, that is, if the Creation of God Choose Wisely, if they Choose "Oneness with" God within True Man within you, then You and the Creation of God "Will be One", within True Man within God within you, First as the "Form of Truth" and then as the "Form of the Next World", the "Form of the Kingdom of God", and that is for sure.
Bawa. But if you Do Like, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, But if the Creaton of God Does Not Like, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, that is, if you Choose Wisely, if you Choose "Oneness with" God within you, Now Before You Die To The Flesh, But if they Don't Like, that is, if the Creation of God Doesn't Choose Wisely, then they will continue to live as "separate from" God, both HERE and THERE, that is, then they will return to the 5 elements that they originally came from, within God within you, But Then the 5 Elements Will No Longer be joined together as "the satan" within you, that is, No Longer joined together as the "form of the satan" within you, that is, No Longer joined together as the "form" of what God within you has discarded in order to become God within you.
Bawa. And Finally, if you Don't Like, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, then the Creation of God Does Not Get A Choice, Before You Die To The Flesh, that is, if you Don't Choose Wisely, if you Don't Choose "Oneness with" God within you, Now Before Your Die To The Flesh, then the Creation of God, within God within you, have No Choice, then they are forced by you to continue Standing in "your presence", Rather than Standing in "God's Presence", Now before you die to the flesh, then they are forced by you to continue Listening to "your words", Rather than Listening to "God's Words", Now before you die to the flesh,
Bawa. That is, if you Don't Like, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, Then the Creation of God, within God within you, are being forced by "you" to wait until you die to the flesh for Qiyamah (the Standing Forth, the Day of Judgment), for their Judgment, that is, for their Judgment and Salvation, that is, with the Creation of God being forced by you to wait until the illusory "outside" of you is over for their Judgment, that is, for their Judgment and Salvation, an illusory "outside" of My Children which will 'be over" for all of My Children very, very soon, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That is, if you Like, that is, if you Choose Wisely, if you Choose "Oneness with" God within you, that is, Before You Die To The Flesh, then Choose "Oneness with" the Creation of God, within God within you, Now being Offered Judgment and Salavation by God within you, that is, Now Before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over, that is, if My Children truly Start to Join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, by you Now Starting to truly Join as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. that is, with you in this way, and only in this way, becoming truly successful in your lifetime, if you like, that is, with you becoming God as "One with" His Creation within you, if you like. Amen. Ok?
Expanded Review:
Bawa. In truth "God Praying To God" is the ONLY TRUE PRAYER, everything else that you Now call prayer in truth is "Drama", that is, the drama of "I and you", or "mine and yours", the drama of your mind and desires, of your "current life" of arrogance, karma, and illusion, of your "current life" of living as "a person", as "your parents", as the "false fellowship of people", of people who come together with "like minded people" to talk and talk and talk, and to pray and pray and pray, but in truth are doing nothing more than "Worshipping Yourself", that is, worshipping yourself living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if your are "separate from" God, within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. But never with you coming together as One, never with you coming together as One in Partnership with the One, as True Prayer, which is the Prayer of the One to the One who Is, in order to Let God become God.
Bawa. That is, First, like the apple seed that accepts "Its Truth" and joins as "One with" the earth in order to germinate and reveal the apple tree, by you becoming "One with" the Creation of God in "Awe of God", that is, as the Sifat or form of the Creation of God worshipping the Dhat or the Power of God within it, which in truth is the "True Shaikh Disciple Relationship", that is, the "True Relationship or Fellowship" of the "True Disciple" sitting at the feet of the "True Teacher", accepting the "True Teacher" as the "Presence of God", as the "Word of God" made flesh, as the "Fire of God" burning in the world, for your age and for your life.
Bawa. And Second, as the Sirr Worshipping the Dhat, which in truth is the Relationship of the "Shepherd and the Tree", that is, the "Relationship of Love" or Oneness between the Qutb or Action of God or 6th level of wisdom or Divine Analytic Wisdom, and the Nur or Aathi or the Primal One or the 7th Level of Wisdom or Divine Luminous Wisdom, as beautifully explained in Chapter 01, "The Shepherd and the Tree" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", which you can read on-line by Clicking HERE (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com).
Bawa. And Third, as the Dhat Worshipping the Dhat, which in truth is the Relationship of Your Soul and God, that is, of the soul liberated from the "Enemy of the soul", which is your "current life" of sin, of selfishness, of "separation and differences", of "I and you" and of "mine and yours", of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and of mind and desire, joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom, having found and joined as "One with" the Nur, taking on the Resplendence and Sound of the Nur, and through that Sound Starting to Communicate Directly with God, taking its food, wisdom, its life directly from God, having truly "Realized Allah". Amen. Ok?
Bawa. That is, Once you have allowed "Your Wisdom" or Sirr to liberate "Your soul" from the "Enemy of the soul", that is, from "you", and return it to God within you, from which it has come, that is, return it to the Dhat within you, to Understand who "It Already Is", which is the "Oneness of God", and having Understood this to become God within you, to become the "Form of God" within you, to become the Next World HERE and NOW within you, which in truth is the 4 Letter Form of "Alif, Mim, Hay, and Dahl" within you, which is the Qalb or Inner Heart of the "Form of Truth" within you, the Triple Flame of God within you, HERE and NOW within you, if you like.
Bawa. That is, to become the Alhamd, the 5 Letter Form of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay and Dahl", which in truth is the form of the "Suratal Fatihah", the Ummul Qur'an within you, which is the essence of the 28 letters that form the parts of the human body, that is, as the "Duty that is Greater Than God, if you like, that is, if you will only let it, that is, if like the apple seed buried in the earth, you will only realize, understand, accept and join as "One with" "Your Truth", that is, join as "One with" your earth, which is the Creation of God, within God within you, to germinate to "Your Truth".
Bawa. And in this way, to Let God within you tell and bring to Completion His Story within you, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, a Story that you have come from God within you to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, to tell, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way or not, that is, to Let God Use It To Finish What God Is Now doing within you, which is telling His Story, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?.
Bawa. That is, in the same way that the apple tree gerrminates to "Its Truth", to "Its Oneness", having rejected "Its Falsehood", having rejected "Its separation from", having rejected "its life" as "separate from" the earth, buried within the earth, that is, by joining as "One with" the earth that it is buried within you, allowing the Sifat or form of the apple seed to End, So the Sirr or secret hidden within the apple seed can be revealed, which is the apple tree, So the Sirr or secret of the apple tree can then End to reveal the Dhat or the Power of God hidden within the apple tree, which is the "Sweet Taste" of the mature apple, and within that "Sweet Taste", is again the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold.
Bawa. That is "God Praying To God", that is True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", and the apple seed germinating to "Its Truth" is an Example of "God Praying To God" on the "outside" of My Children, as a Finger of God Pointing To "God Praying To God" within My Children, if you like, as an Example of what Now each of My Children have to do, to truly become successful in your lifetime, if you like, for in truth "Not All Apple Seeds Germinate" to the truth, as "Not All People Germinate" to the truth. So plase Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children the following when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and as "We" are Again teaching My Children the following, with "Us" Now living in the world as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, for to truly accept and treat "Us" Now as such is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice, and certainly not "Our" Choice, So please Choose Wisely My Dearest Loving Children, your eternal life depends on it. Amen. Ok?

68. How Do You Make The Transition - From God To "the satan" And From "the
satan" To True Man, In Your Lifetime?
Question asked by "The Life" of Abdul Bajir (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on
8-10-08
Suggested Answer to Question 68:
Bawa. You Make The Transition From God To "the satan" And From "the satan" To True Man, In Your Lifetime, Either by "you" "Working for wages to get into heaven" where you will be rewarded for all of the "good acts" that you performed in the world before you died to the flesh
Bawa. Or By "You" "Joining In Partnership With God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Let God Finish Making the Transition from God to "the satan" within you, and then to Let God Start To Make The Transition from "the satan" to True Man, within God within you, all of which in truth you must Truly Start To Do within you before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over.
Bawa. All of which, that is, the illusory "outside" of you, will be over for all of My Children
very, very soon, So Please Don't Put This Off until tomorrow, which may never come, but instead Start To Do this true "Hearts Work" Right Now. That would be Good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and Good for all of your brothers and sisters, within you within you.
Initial Review:
Bawa. For Example One of the things all of My Children are Always struggling with is the idea of "Bawa, you, and God", Rather than of the truth of just God and "the satan".
Bawa. For in truth God Created True Man to reveal God to all of the Creation of God, but before that can occur God has to reveal True Man within "the satan", for in truth like the "sour fruit" is a harbinger of the "sweet fruit", "the satan" is a harbinger of True Man, that is, God has to reveal the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", and this is not something any of My Children can do using themselves, but Rather this is only something that God can do, that is, when you realize, understand, accept and join as "One with" the "Truth of You", and reject the "falsehood of you". Ok?
Bawa. And the "Truth of You" is that "Only God Exists", that is, "Only God exists" but as both "God" and what "God discarded" from within Himself to become God within you, and what all of My Children are Now Experiencing as "you" is not God within you, but Rather is what "God has discarded" from within Himself in order to become God within you, and only when you truly accept this "Truth of You", and hand "yourself" to God within you, as what "God has discarded", as what Now defines you, can God then reveal True Man within "the satan", that is, within your "heart or mind or room", but this time within God within your "heart or mind or room", and in this way, like the apple seed that germinates, destroying "the satan" within your "heart or mind or room". Ok?
Bawa. In this way, each of My Children have "Two Forms", not just your "current form", as My Children Now mistakenly believe, but to your peril, that is, both the "Form of God" and the "form of the satan", and what each of My Children are Now experiencing is the "form of the satan" within your "heart or mind or room", but if you hand that to God, He will then reveal the "Form of God" hidden within it, that is, hidden within the "form of the satan" within your "heart or mind or room". Ok?.
Bawa. All of which is like the state of the apple seed before it germinates to "Its Truth", that in truth it is the "seed of the apple tree", that in truth it is buried within the earth, and that in truth the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within the apple seed to grow, but to do this, that is to germinate to "Its Truth", the apple seed has to give up its "current life" buried in the earth as "separate from" the earth, that is, in order to become the apple tree living as "One with" the earth. Ok?
Bawa. And Doing This Is True Prayer, that is, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", So, before you pray hand yourself to God as the "form of the satan", as what God has discarded, as what Now fills your "heart or mind or room", as what in truth cannot Pray, and ask God to come and Stand on you as "His Prayer Mat", as what can Pray, that is, to come and Stand on "you" as what God Discarded Before to become God within you.
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, for you to Get God within you To Discard it all Again, but this time within you, but this time within your "heart or mind or room", that is, for God to discard "the satan" Again, that is, to discard what is Now Standing Between God within you and "Your Soul" within you, which is "you", that is, to discard what is Now Standing Between the Creation of God, within God within you, and the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life, Again which is "you", So the Creation of God, within God within you, can go to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment", HERE and NOW, that is, before you die to the flesh.
Bawa. That is, So God within you can Again Discard "the satan" within you, which is Now "you", but this time within your "heart or mind or room", and in the process reveal True Man within God within you. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. For in truth this is how Bawa taught this child to pray, and how this child has Now learned to do everything else, that is, By Not Doing It, but Rather, by Getting God To Do It, all which is what Bawa calls "The Sufi Way" to Pray, that is, to Pray without Praying, and "The Sufi Way" to Do Duty, that is, to do Duty Within Doing Duty, and "The Sufi Way" to Understand, that is, to Understand God and the Creation of God, that is, to Understanding without Understanding. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And if you truly Start to Live in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, by Living without Living, then God will Do Everything Else to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, that is, by revealing True Man within God within you.
Bawa. So then and only then, True Man can reveal God within True Man, within God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, So in the End, in truth there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, in truth there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen. Such is the True Significance of Your Life, if you like, for in truth the Choice is Yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not.
Bawa. That is, the Choice to "Let God" Have His Way With You, or not, as you have Now Let "the satan" have "his way with you", whether you know it or not.
Bawa. For in truth such is the Only True Problem facing all of My Children, that is, to Start to awaken to your "current falsehood" So you can Start to Realize "Your Truth", while you still can, that is, before you die to the flesh, for then it is all over, and all of this Choosing is Over, for then the "House you have built, is the House you will get", and the "Crop that you have grown, is the Crop you will havest", that is, Either the House and Crop of God, Or the house and crop of "the satan", and the Choice is yours, not God's, and There Is No Other Choice, So Please Choose Wisely My Dearest Loving Children. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And Please Choose Soon, as the End of the Illusory "outside" of all of My Children is very, very near, So please Stop of your current "Working for wages to get into Some Illusory heaven" on another "outside" of you, as all of My Children are Now Mistakenly doing, all of which in truth is "Just Not True", and instead, Please Start to Join In Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Now you Starting to live as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased", if you like. That would be Good. Amen. Ok?

"His Bag", twirling His Children with their faults and all, letting one
stone bang off the rough edges of another, letting one stone polish the
others, until "You" come out as the perfect, polished gems of God, which
Bawa then hands to God, to God within you, if you like, for the Choice is
yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to stay in the "Bag of the Qutb",
until "He Is Done", or not."

of Spiritual Letter 134
"Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You
To Become "One With" Us Within You,
In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You,
In Order To
Truly Understand
"Who You Already Are",
And "Where You Already Are",
And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life,
While You Still Can,
Before This Kind of Understanding
Is No Longer Available To You,
Because You Have Become
What God Has Discarded From Himself,
In Order To Become God Within You.
That Is,
To Truly Understand
"What Can Truly Return To God Within You",
Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You,
And To Truly Understand
"What Cannot Return To God Within You",
Because It Is What Truly Grew Here,
As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You,
And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You,
No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary.
And To Truly Understand This Choice,
And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice,
Which In Truth Is Only God Within You,
And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You,
And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice,
Which Is Everything Else,
No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated
On the Illusory "Outside" of You,
And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You

From God's Perspective
As "One with" Everyone and Everything,

His Story Within Him
For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him,

Bawa That is, you are Either Jesus (peace be upon Him), Or you are His Cross, and the 5 nails that keep Him nailed to His Cross, which in truth are "your desires" to live on the illusory "outside" of you, like a demon, jinn, fairy, and ghost, and sin, that is, to continue living your current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you as "a person", as a "false fellowship" of "like minded people who come together to talk, and talk, and talk about Everything, including to talk about God, but never with the intent to "Become God".

Bawa. Or the Path to God is what "you" have to Let God grow within you, and Let God place before God within you, So God within you can reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Question asked by "The Life" of Kadija (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on 6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. Why Does God Create People, that is, what is the role that being "a person" plays in the journey of your soul back to God, and what is both the benefit and the danger to the Path of God with you becoming "a person"?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either God Creates People to teach you about Himself, So if you obey God's Commandments and work hard for wages to get into heaven, you will enjoy a good and happy life in this world, and then, after you die to the flesh, you will enjoy an eternal life in the heaven that God has created for "His People", as My Children Now mistakenly believe, but to your peril,.
Bawa. Or In Truth God Does Not Create People, but rather "the satan" does, that is, God Creates your soul and the wisdom surrounding your soul, and "people create people", in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance, all of which in truth is a trick of "the satan" to lead "you" astray.
Bawa. That is, the idea or thought or concept of "people", or of "you" living as "a person", or of "you" being "a person", is the "great trick" of "the satan", that is, the "great trick" of "the satan" to keep the Children of Adam (Ral.) living as the "life and form" of "the satan", rather than as the "Life and Form" of God, as God Intended for all of His Children, that is, until the "clock runs out", that is, a trick of "the satan" to keep the Children of Adam (Ral.) living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. That is, until you die to the flesh, So "the satan" can then harvest "you" as "his crop" and take you yelling and screaming to "his hell", all with "God's Permission", that is, after "the satan" emerges from within one or more of "his children or people", as "the beast", and is blinded by the "Light of the soul", which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok?
Bawa. What Causes "Your Mind" To Sit Down Is Either "you" learning how to do this, that is, by "you" learning more and more about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by your prayers, by your understanding, by your duty, that is, by "you" developing the qualities and actions of God.
Bawa. Or What Causes "Your Mind" to Sit Down is "Your Wisdom" Standing Up, that is, by "you" Starting "To Use God To Get To God" within you, that is, by "you" Starting to Use the World to Get Rid of the World, that is, by "you" Starting to "Do Business" with God, that is with "you"
giving God what "you have", with each breath, look, word, taste, and thought, and Then with God giving You what "God Has" in turn, with each breath, look, word, taste, and thought..
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with "you" Letting "Yourself Be God", and with "you" Letting "God Be You", which in truth is both the "Truth of You" and the "Truth of God" within you, rather then all of the "Current Craziness" of My Children, all of which is both false, and of no real value to you, or to anyone else.
Bawa. For in truth, My Dearest Loving Children, "It Is Truly This Simple", Only God can Pray to God, Only God can Do The Duty of God, Only God can Awaken To God, Only God can Return To God, Only God can Understand God, not "you" Now living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. Please realize this Truth Now, about the "Oneness of You & God", and about the "Oneness of God & You", without the slightest doubt, and Start to Act Accordingly, that is, Start to Act as "One with" God, and Let God be "One with" you, First on the "outside" of you and then "within you".
Bawa. And you can Now do this in your age, if you like, by you joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", as much as you can, and as often as you can, and by you Letting Him join as "One with" you, as much as you can, and as often as you can, and by you doing this with Him, First on the "outside" of you and then "within you", So God can Then Do "Everything Else", that is, "Everything Else" necessary to make your life truly sucessful in your lifetime. Amen. Ok?
Question asked by "The Life" of Robert (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on 6-29-08
Expanded Question:
Bawa. What Causes Your Mind To Sit Down, and what do you have to do to get this to repeatedly happen in your life, that is, for your mind to sit down, and for God to stand up, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has Now learned to do?
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. What Causes "Your Mind" To Sit Down Is Either "you" learning how to do this, that is, by "you" learning more and more about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by your prayers, by your understanding, by your duty, that is, by "you" developing the qualities and actions of God.
Bawa. Or What Causes "Your Mind" to Sit Down is "Your Wisdom" Standing Up, that is, by "you" Starting "To Use God To Get To God" within you, that is, by "you" Starting to Use the World to Get Rid of the World, that is, by "you" Starting to "Do Business" with God, with "you" giving God what "you have", with each breath, look, word, taste, and thought, and God Then giving You what "God Has" in turn, and in this way, with "you" Letting "Yourself Be God", and with "you" Letting "God Be You", which in truth is both the "Truth of You" and the "Truth of God" within you, rather then all of the Current Craziness of My Children, all of which is both false, and of no real value to you, or to anyone else. It is Truly This Simple, My Dearest Loving Children. Amen. Ok?

Question asked of Ahmad Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) at the Sunday Meeting on
8-10-08
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. "God Praying To God" is Either something that occurs within you "after" you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of your is over, and you go to heaven, that is, after you go to another place similar to this place, but better, because you have been good, and did the right thing, here before you died.
Bawa. Or "God Praying To God" is what My Children must Now learn How To Do, or at least truly Start To Learn How To Do, "before" you die to the flesh,
that is, before the illusory "outside" of you, that is, if you are to become truly successful in your lifetime, that is, by you finding and then learning How To "Fall Into" the "Fire of God" that is Now burning in the world for your age and for all life, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?.
From "The Satan" To True Man, In Your Lifetime?
Question asked by "The Life" of Abdul Bajir (Ral.) after the Sunday Meeting on
8-10-08
Suggested Answer to Question 68:
Bawa. You Make The Transition From God To "the satan" And From "the satan" To True Man, In Your Lifetime, Either by "you" "Working for wages to get into heaven" where you will be rewarded for all of the "good acts" that you performed in the world before you died to the flesh
Bawa. Or By "You" "Joining In Partnership With God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Let God Finish Making the Transition from God to "the satan" within you, and then to Let God Start To Make The Transition from "the satan" to True Man, within God within you, all of which in truth you must Truly Start To Do within you before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over.
Bawa. All of which, that is, the illusory "outside" of you, will be over for all of My Children
very, very soon, So Please Don't Put This Off until tomorrow, which may never come, but instead Start To Do this true "Hearts Work" Right Now. That would be Good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and Good for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and Good for all of your brothers and sisters, within you within you.
