My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is "Page 1 of 1" of the on-line "Text Only Version" of "Spiritual Letter 77" for your review and consideration, if you like, for as with everything in our life, the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter which "we" have called, "Stop Throwing Stones At Your Shaikh", a Spiritual Letter to our dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman (Curtis Wahlgren), and to all of the Children of God for our age. Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within us all, about the problem that we all currently face, if we die to the flesh in our current state, which is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us all, no matter what God may have originally planned for us, which is an eternal life as "One with" God within us, and about how to avoid the fate of an eternal hell within us, before we do die to the flesh, if we like, for the Choice to do this or not, with our life, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. Just like beginning each paragraph with the word "Bawa", is most certainly our Choice, not God's, in this way, inviting our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to be "Present", to be "Present" within each word, and sentence, and paragraph, that is written, or spoken by this child, and not just a reflection of our "mind and desire", which is always waiting on the sidelines to subtly rule over us, if we let it, that is, if we don't do this. Amen.. Bawa. For as that our dear 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, in this Spiritual Letter, "Our mind and desire will only sit down when our wisdom stands up, and the name of our wisdom, and of God within our wisdom, for our age, is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), which in truth is "Our Father, our Guru, and our Shaikh", for this age, and in truth "They are One" within us, and in truth "So are we". Amen." Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to the Children of God for our age that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, instructed this child to write, and to send to each of us, to each of us to living at the feet of God for our age, at the feet of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now living on the "outside" of us, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Bawa. At the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we only want it, 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, that is, before "we" physically die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. 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). ============================================================== Text Only Version - for Spiritual Letter 77 Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kullahu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman (Curtis Wahlgren) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Page 1 of E-mail - the "Sin of Righteousness" that we have fallen into, without even knowing it Bawa. Thank you for your lovely E-mail, my dearest loving brother, it really warmed my heart. Bawa. We read the E-mail over twice, saying the word Bawa, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, handing the E-mail to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, and the following came into the heart of your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), as follows: Wisdom Points in Latest E-mail: Bawa. My dearest loving brother, Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, in your E-mail you said, "I just missed the chance to reply to your text message Monday morning. You signed off just as I was typing my reply. Al-hamdu lillah." Bawa. But in truth, You did not miss anything, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, for the "signing off as you were ready to reply" is exactly what God did for you, and showed to you, and certainly is not what "you did or did not do", as this child experiencing "signing on, and then not getting a response, and then signing off" is exactly what God did for this child, and showed to this child, and certainly is not what "we did or did not do". Bawa. And in this way, everything in our life, in all life, is always perfect, no matter what, no matter what we may think in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, is happening to us, or is happening to anyone else, it is always perfect, no matter what, it is always exactly as God planned it, and placed it within us, so, if we like, we can learn, so we can learn what we came here to learn, to learn about who we "Already are", and then having learned, to return to God within us, before or after we die to the flesh, and share our learning with God within us for eternity, and in this way, everything in our life, and in all life, is exactly as it has been written within us, by God within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we were born into this earth world. 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 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, in this Spiritual Letter, if we like, "God has already taught us everything. It is all written within us." "Before we came here God told us: "I am sending you to a school called the world. It is a temporary place. You have to go there for a little while in order to learn about My History, your Own History, and the History of many others. You have to know who created everything, who is responsible for everything, who is the Guardian in charge of you, and what is your true Property. Once you have learned and understood all of these Histories you will realize "Who you are", and "Who is the One" you need, the "True One", the One who will live forever. Amen." Bawa. In this way, the only question is, "What did we do with it?", that is, "What did we do with this experience on the "outside" of us from God within us?". Bawa. That is, did we use it correctly within us, or not, did we just waste it on the "outside" of us, treating it as only something "separate from" us occurring on the "outside" of us, or did we truly use it within us, in partnership with God within us, to "Move forward" the journey of our soul within us, did we use it to allow our soul to again become "One with" God within us, or not, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Bawa. And if we did, if we did use it correctly within us, then our life will become successful in our lifetime, allowing God and True Man within us to tell and Completed Their Story within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and when They Do This within us, then "We will be within it", as the Witness. Amen. Bawa. That is, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, the Choice to do this or not with our life is most certainly Our Choice, not God's Choice, the Choice to do this with the life that God has personally and every so lovingly placed within each of us, to do this with our soul life, which is our original pure birth and life within us, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. To do this with the "Gift of God" within us, with our original pure birth and life within us, is our Choice, not God's, a life which is now in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, covered over by our impure birth and life within us, which in our ignorance has grown within us as the lives of darkness and evil within us, which we only see now in our ignorance as our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and which now in maturity rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission" within us. Bawa. Which now rule over us with "God's Permission" within us, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God within us to then "Cure Himself of us", if we like, "Cure Himself" of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us. Bawa. By God within us, if we like, closing down the world of hell within us, which is everything below our waist, which is the false birth or false creation within us. Bawa. By God within us, if we like, closing down the world of jinns within us, which is our stomach, which is the false death or false destruction within us. Bawa. And by God within us, if we like, closing down the world of fairies within us, which is our chest, which are all of the false lives or impure lives within us, that we are now living through in our ignorance, letting them falsely define us on the illusory "outside" of us, but which in truth are impure lives of earth, fire, water, air, and ether within us, which are all leading us to hell within us, if we continue to let them, until we die to the flesh, in this way, leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which is the fate of all of us, if we don't get God within us to intervene in our life, before we die to the flesh in our current state, if we don't get God within us to "Become God again", but this time within us, but this time within our heart, if we don't "See God within us", and "Steady God within us", before we die to the flesh in our current state. Amen. Bawa. And by God within us, if we like, re-opening the world of souls within us, which is our true birth and life within us, preparing the way for our true death within us, which is the death of our current life of "separation and differences", both within us and on the "outside" of us, and then the continuation of our true life within us, as the 6th life within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, liberated from His Cross within us, by awakening the wisdom surrounding our soul within us, which is Moses (peace be upon Him) within us, awakening our wisdom through the "Gift of God" for our age, through the 'Lift and Teaching of God" for our age, through the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age. Bawa. Which in truth for our age, is the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching 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, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life within us, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Amen. Bawa. In this way, with "us" joining with our awakened wisdom within us against the "Enemy of our soul" within us, which is our current life of "separation and differences", both within us and on the "outside" of us, but that we only see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Bawa. And doing all of this within us, by allowing our awakened wisdom within us to pull out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin, that is, allowing our wisdom within us to bring our current life on the "outside" of us to an end, that is, with us willingly and freely letting the illusory "outside" of us come to an end, so the current real but false inside of us can be seen, seen for the very first time through our wisdom, seen as it really is, and then corrected within us, making room for the very real but true inside of us, which is everything within God within us, corrected through the Power of God within our wisdom within us, that is, brought to a good state within us, if they like, or removed from within us, and spread out and returned to their source, within God within us, which is everything that God discarded within Himself, in order to become "God within us". Bawa. In this way, using the "Gift of God", both within us and on the "outside" of us, to bring to an end within us both the current illusory "outside" of us, and the very real but false inside of us, and in this way, making everything within God within us, the true inside of Us, that is, when we truly "See God and Steady God" within us. Bawa. In this way, allowing God within us to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of sin, of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, that is, a false life of "mine and yours", of 'I and you", on the illusory "outside" of us, a life that in truth is the opposite of the true life within us, within God within us, which in truth is a life of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, of Compassion and Unity" within God within us, which can become "our true life" within us, within God within us, if we like, for the Choice to do this or not, with our life within us, is ours, not God's. Bawa. And in this way, with "us" joining in partnership with God within us to allow the liberated soul life within us, joined in partnership with the awakened wisdom within us, to journey back to God within us, finding and becoming "One with" the "Light of our wisdom" within us, which is the Nur Muhammad within us, leading us to "True Prayer" within us, and in this way, with "Us" again becoming "One with" God within us, from which we have all come within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness" so it will never leave us again, if we like. Amen. Bawa. And by God within us, if we like, opening the kingdom of God within us, preparing the way for "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and for the telling and bringing to Completion of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, in the next world or akhirah within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within God within us. Amen. Bawa. In this way, with God within us, if we like, closing down the final veil that "separates us" from "us" within us, which is "everything currently within us" that is currently "separating us" from "everything that is within God" within us. Amen. Bawa. And closing down the final veil that "separates us" from God within us, and that "separates God" from us within God within us, which is "everything within God" within us that is "separating Us" from "True Prayer" within God within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", within us, which is Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us. Amen. Bawa. For example, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, did we, after experiencing the following, that is, after experiencing, as you say, "I just missed the chance to reply to your text message Monday morning. You signed off just as I was typing my reply. Al-hamdu lillah." Bawa. Did we praise God for it, saying "Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar". Did we say the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), establishing the "Presence of God" within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down within us, and allowing our wisdom to stand up within us. Bawa. Did we then hand what we had just experienced to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, and then "Be done with it", saying to God within us, "Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Thank you O God, but No Thank You, O God". Bawa. And then saying to God within us, "Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Only You O God, Nothing Else". Bawa. And finally saying to God within us, "Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. O God, What's next?". Amen. Bawa. For if we do this, with each and every experience that God places before us, which in truth is all of the experience that come before us, then we have done everything that we can do, then our life will become truly successful in our lifetime, for then we have learned to do "Nothing Correctly", then we have gotten God within us to "Do it again", but this time within us, then we have gotten God within us, to "Become God" again, but this time within us, transforming our heart into His Heart, into the Heart of the Shaikh within us, in the One Open Heart of God for our age, which is the Heart of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within us, and now on the "outside" of us, which is the heart of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen. Bawa. In this way, with our heart again becoming the handful of earth that God collected from the four corners of the earth world within us, and through the Kalimah, the remembrance of God within us, made into Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, and placed the Light of wisdom or the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, and made into the Karbala within us, which on the "outside" of us is a town situated between Baghdad and Mecca in the Middle East, but within us is the journey of our soul back into God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. In this way, this is our work, our only work, my dearest loving brother, Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, our "Heart's Work", which is to know God's work within us, and His work within us is "All work" within us, with us "stepping back", both within us and on the "outside" of us, so God can step forward within us. Amen. Bawa. And we do this on the "outside" of us, this doing "Nothing Correctly" within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, to establish the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and in this way, with "us" "stepping back" on the "outside" of us so God within us can "Step Forward" within us, and "Cure Himself of us" within us, and in this way, "Move Forward" the journey of the soul back to God within us, by telling and completing the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. In this way, getting God within us to "Cure Himself of us" within us, getting God within us to "Become God again", but this time within us, this time within our heart within us. Bawa. And we can do all of this within us, by treating each experience on the "outside" of us in this way, as a vehicle for establishing the "Presence of God" within us, which in truth is our wisdom, allowing the "Power of God" within us, which is the grace or water within our wisdom, to transform everything currently within us, again into everything within God within us, and when He does, "We will be within it", as the Witness. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, with us briefly looking at each experience that we have on the "outside" of us, as but a reflection of "What God is doing within us", which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, just as the moon is a reflection of the sun, if we like, and is always pointing to the sun, if we like, showing us where the sun always is, in relationship to the earth, if we like, if we have the eyes to see all of this. Amen. Bawa. That is, in truth what we are always looking at, if we have the eyes to see it, if we are always looking through the eye of wisdom within us, is what God is always doing within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, through the eye of wisdom within us which are the 99 wilayats or Powers of God within us, which are the 99 Names of God within us, that we must join in partnership with God within us to be always looking through, no matter what, no matter what we may believe that we are seeing in our ignorance, through our mind and desire, for in truth what is always there to be seen before us is an example of the infinite Mercy and Compassing of God within us. For this is the truth of us, and the truth of God hidden within us. Bawa. May we all know this now, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, and start to act accordingly, as "One with" God within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, and then "we will be safe", no matter what. Amen. Bawa. But whenever we fail to do this with our life, we will only see on the "outside" of us, what is "separating us" from God within us, and what is "separating us" from each other, and what is "separating us" from the Creation of God within us. Bawa. But again the Choice is ours, not God's, the Choice of how we look at the things on the "outside" of us, either through God within us, or through our mind and desire within us, either to look at things on the "outside" of us through the instruments of "separation and differences" within us, of "separate from" within us, or through the instruments of "Oneness with" within us, which is our Perfected faith and trust in God within us, which is the world of souls within us, and is our wisdom, which is the "Presence of God" within this earth world or dunya within us. Amen. Bawa. In this way, the Choice is always ours, not God, because God has given us both, both instruments, and we must decide which to use, for now we have to decide, as God before us had to decide, as part of His becoming God within us, for now the Choice is ours, to become "God within us", to all of the lives within us, by getting God to do it again, by getting God to become God again, but this time within us, this time within our heart, this time within Adam (peace be upon Him) Bawa. In this way, looking at each thing in our current state, as "separate from" God within us, but also looking at it with our faith and trust in God within us, looking at it as false, as not true, as the dream or illusion of our life, as the "opposite" of the truth of our life, an experience that we are only experiencing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, with our "mind and desire", but still a wonderful "Gift of God" never the less. Bawa. But never the less coming to us from God within us as a "Gift of God", so we can "learn", so we can learn in this "School of Contrast" within us, if we like, learn about everything that is "separating us" from God within us, so we can pass all of our exams, and graduate from this First of God's Schools within us, from this "School of Contrast" within us, and then, if we like, go off to the next of God's Schools within us. Bawa. And then, if we like, go off to the Next of God's Schools within us, to the "School of Light" within us, either before or after we die to the flesh, where God will personally and every so lovingly teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us. Bawa. And in this way, where God within us will teach us about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, so we can join in partnership with God within us to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or at least truly start to tell and bring it to Completion within us, before we die to the flesh, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. Realizing that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are currently experiencing all of this as something that is "happening to us" on the "outside" of us, not as something that in truth is within us, not as the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within us in our ignorance, not as what has grown within us and is now gradually leading us to hell within us, whether we know it or not, leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which will become the fate of all of us, if we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside of us as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is false, is not true, in any way or form. Bawa. And also realizing that in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, that we are currently experiencing all of this "outside" of us, as something that "we are doing", or not doing, on the "outside" of us, not as what God is trying to show to us within us, about our current state of living on the "outside" of us. Bawa. About how in truth we are only 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 not true. Bawa. For in truth we are not "separate from'" anything, at least not yet, at least not until we die to the flesh in our current state, for now God is closer to us than our own breath, and we are "All One" within us, and the Creation of God within us is what we have been planted within. Bawa. For the Creation of God within us is in truth the "Earth of God" within us, is where God has placed His Seed within us, the "Seed of God" within us, and everything within the 18,000 universes within us is just waiting for that "Seed of God" within us to germinate, to germinate to the "Truth of us", and to the "Truth of God" within us, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us. Bawa. That in truth "we" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, "we" are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. And that in truth God within us is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as such, God within us is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, if we like, that is, for the Choice to do this with our life, with the life that God has placed within the Creation of God within us, or not, is Our Choice, not God's Choice. Bawa. Like in truth the "apple seed" buried within the earth is the "apple tree happening" within the earth, and in truth the "apple tree" hidden within the "apple seed" is the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening" within the "apple seed" buried within the earth, if it likes, for like each of us, not all apple seeds germinate, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth of themselves, instead, some rot and die in the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, never again as an apple seed buried within the earth, never again as the story of the "Oneness of the apple and the apple tree", that like each of us, it came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell. Bawa. Which is similar to the Story hidden within each of us, that God is trying to show to us, over and over again, through everything that we experience on the "outside" of us, including now this Spiritual Letter to each of us, from God within us all, if we like, a Story that is just waiting within us to be told, if we like, so before we die to the flesh, we can join in partnership with God within us to truly turn way from all of this illusory "outside" of us, and from all of this real but false "inside" of us, and turn back to God within us, and to everything within God within us, which is the real and true "inside" of us. Bawa. And by our stopping all of our "working for wages" on the current "outside" of us in order to get into some other "outside" of us, after we die to this "outside" of us, as some of us currently believe, but which is all false, and instead joining in partnership with God within us, to let "Us" tell and Complete the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, with no attachment, with no regrets, truly turning back to God within us, as our only love, as our only life, as our only wife, as our only child, as our only brother and friend, as our only job, as our only house, as our only comfort, as our only companion, as our only reality, as our only truth, before it is too late, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, which could be today, which could be our next breath, leaving God with no Choice, and before at least one of us, prematurely destroys the "outside" of us, for all of us, which is also a very real possibility in our age. Bawa. Leaving God within us no other Choice within us, for the "Justice of God is that whatever we intend is what we will receive". Bawa. In this way, leaving God with no other Choice but to give us in the end what we want, to give us what we have been telling God, over and over again that we want for eternity, which is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. Telling God what we want for eternity, not just by our words but by our actions, by the way "that we are currently living in the world", as "separate and different", by the way that we are currently acting on the "outside" of us, as "separate from", that is, with us continuing to act on the "outside" of us as if we are truly "separate from" God within us, no matter what God shows us or gives us on the "outside" of us, even if He gives us Himself, and everything within Him,. Bawa. As He recently has, giving us our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and now again on the "outside" of us, giving us 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 for us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. That is, with us continuing to act 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, which is not true. Bawa. In this way, giving God within us no other Choice in the end, if we die to the flesh in our current state, but to send us to hell within us, to send us next to hell within us, after we die to the flesh in our current state, to send us next to the "suffering of the grave" within us, where we meet for the first time the 5 elemental spirits within us, the 5 ruhanies within us, that we have grown within us in our ignorance, like weeds in God's Beautiful Flower Garden within us, that we failed to bring to a good state within us before we die to the flesh within us, that we failed to transform within us, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, into the 5 Angels of God within us, into the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfiel, Isriael, and Rukiel (peace be upon Them) within us, allowing us to see the 28 letters of life within us. Bawa. In this way, allowing us to experience the "Heaven" and the "Morning Star" within us (see At Tarique, or "The Night Visitant or Morning Star", as Chapter 86 (www.HolyQuranChapter086.homestead.com) in the Holy Qur'an (www.HolyQuran. homestead.com) and see "Review of At Tarique" (www.SpiritualReview001. homestead.com), as the 24 and the 25th letters within us, as the "Dawning" within us, as the emergence of the Qutb and the Nur within us, from the Shadow within us, which is the 25 letters within the 28 letters within us, allowing us to experience the 5 letters form of Alhamd within us, of "alif, lam, mim, hay, and dahl", within us, as the "Secret Form of the Truth of God" within us, as the "Essence of the 28 letters within us, as the Form of the Suratal Fatihah within us, as the form of the "Opening Chapter" of Akhirah or the next world within us, as "True Prayer" within us, "In a state of expansion alif, lam, min, and the Triple Flame that has become clear, become the ruh, the wisdom, and the Nur, in a most mysterious form of grace, that form of grace becoming wisdom, wisdom becoming the Nur, and the Nur will become God" [Note: This quotation is from "The Kalimah Song", sung to us by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and by God within Him, on April 26, 1972 (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com]. Bawa. In this way, with "us" becoming, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, the "Worship of the Form of the Nur Muhammad" within us, within the "Secret World of Allah" within us, and if we do, then "We will be within it", as the Witness, establishing in this way, "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Amen. Bawa. All of which is permanently lost within us, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, if we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. With us getting. instead of God within us, and everything within God within us, getting the "suffering of the grave" within us, and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, with us getting, instead of an eternal life as "One with" God within us, getting an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, for in truth there is no other Choice for any of us, but these two, which is either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separation from" God within us, and the Choice is ours, not God's. Bawa. And in truth this is hell within us, the "realization that we have "separated ourselves" from God within us, that we have "separated ourselves" from the "Truth of us" and from the "Truth of God" within us, failing in this way, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, with us taking on, after we die to the flesh in our current sate, like the apple seeds that fail to germinate, 105 million rebirths within us, with us ending as a worm in hell with only one level of wisdom or consciousness, or feeling. Bawa. With us first experiencing this eternal hell within us, if we die to the flesh in our current state, with us first experiencing it as the "suffering of the grave" within us, followed by Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, with us taking on 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling within us, and in this way, with us ending up with an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Bawa. What a waste, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, what a waste of what God has given to each of us, as "His Trust Property". What a waste, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman. Something to certainly think about, a little, Yes? Page 2 of E-mail - the meaning of "Throwing Stones at Our Shaikh" Bawa. Ok, now let us look at the "Title" to "Spiritual Letter 77", that is, "Stop Throwing Stones At Your Shaikh". Bawa. Lets start by remembering together a short story that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and that God within Him, told us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are telling us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, if we like, -- Beginning of A Short Story by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen & His Children (Ral.) -- Bawa. There was a Holy Man in the past whose name was Mansur al-Hallaj (peace be upon Him) who was living at a time when most people in his village only believed in God and His Prophets through their ego, that is, through their mind and desire, seeing everything as "separation and differences", seeing God as "separate from" themselves, and seeing all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, as "separate from" each other (peace be upon Them), and as "separate from" themselves. Bawa. For example, seeing the 8 Main Prophets of God (may God be pleased with all of His Prophets) as "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, when in truth "They are All On" within us, that is, seeing the Prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and the final Prophet of God, Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as "separate from" each other, and as and as "separate from" them, and seeing themselves and all of their dearest loving brothers and sisters as "separate from" each other, and finally, seeing the Creation of God also as "separate from" themselves, rather than as the "Earth of God" within them within which God has planted the "Seed of God", which is just waiting for "us" to sit down, so it can germinate, revealing the "Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" within us, and again the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold. Amen. Bawa. But at the same time in his little village, when through the "Direct Intervention" of God in his life, through the "Presence of God" in his life, that is, through the grace, the wisdom, and the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God for his age, Mansur Hallage (peace be upon Him) truly again became "One with" God within him, before he died to the flesh, but this time with an understanding of "His Oneness", so it would never leave him again, causing him to recite in his meditation, "Annal Haqq", or "I am the Truth", or "I am God". Bawa. A Recitation about the "Truth of himself", which is the "Seed of God" planted within the "Earth of God" within him, and about the "Truth of God within him", which is about the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within Him, and about Their "Oneness", about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and about the "Truth of what God is Doing" within us, which is telling and bringing to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which was now truly appropriate for his life, with him having joined in partnership with God within him to overcome and destroy his ego, that is, to join in partnership with God within us to overcome and destroy within us everything that is "separating God" from" God within us, which is everything "other than God" within us. Bawa. And "First" to do this within us, or at least to truly start to do this within us, before we die to the flesh, by "us" joining in partnership with God within us to overcome everything within us that is "separating us" from Ourselves, that is, everything within us that is "separating us" from in truth "Who We Truly Are", and "Who We Truly Are" is everything within God within us, and in this way, doing this in partnership with God within us, by overcome everything within us that is "separating us" from everything within God within us. Bawa. And doing this in partnership with God within us by getting God within us to do it, that is, to do it again, but this within us, to do this within our heart, within the handful of earth within us, by "us" joining in partnership with God within us to "See God and Steady God" within us, so God can then "Cure Himself of us" within us, of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. Bawa. With God naturally doing this within us, if we like, if we will only let Him, by closing down the world of hell, the world of jinns, the world of fairies within us, which in truth is the sections below our waist, our stomach, and our chest, and then by re-opening the world of souls within us, which in truth is the purified heart of God within us, the "Palace of the soul" within us, the "House of Wisdom", within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (peace be upon Him) within us, and then by opening the kingdom of God within us, which in maturity within us is "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, if we like, for the Choice to do this, or not, with what God has given to each of us, is Our Choice, not God's. Bawa. And "Second", to do this within us, or at least to truly start to do this within us, before we die to the flesh, by "us" joining in partnership with God within us, to overcome everything that is, "separating Us" from God within us, and is "separating God" within us from "Us" within God within us, that is, to overcome everything that is "separating Us" from "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, which is everything within God within us that is "separating Us" from "True Prayer". Bawa. And finally, "Third", to do this within us, or at least to truly start to do this within us, before we die to the flesh, by "us" joining in partnership with God within us to overcome everything that is "separating God" from God within us, which is everything within God within us that is "separating God" from everything within True Man within God within us. Amen. Bawa. But a Recitation which when overheard by his contemporaries, and by his disciples, caused a great disturbance in his little village, even to the point where some people in his little village wanted him to be put to death. Bawa. However when asked about what he had recited in meditation, he denied any knowledge of having said it, having said "I am God", and told them that if they ever heard him say it again in his meditation, that they could execute him, a recitation which he then did again, and which, when they heard it, they then did what he had told them to do, that is, they "cut off his head", causing God to then intervene in their lives. Bawa. With God then telling them that what they did was inappropriate, that is, that their criticizing and then their killing of Mansur al-Hallaj (peace be upon Him) was inappropriate for them, and that what Mansur Hallage (peace be upon Him) did, that is, reciting the word "Annul Haqq" in his true meditation as "One with" God within him, was most appropriate for him, and that they should have left him alone, left him alone to worship God as was now appropriate for him to worship, as "One with" God within Him, as they continued to worship God as was still appropriate for them to worship, as "separate from" God within them. Bawa. In this way, causing no harm to anyone, to either them or to him, leaving it up to God within us all to either accept or reject what each was doing, based on his or her current understanding, which is the "True Way of Islam", and which leads us up to the "Inner meaning" of this story, which is reflected in the "Title" of "Spiritual Letter 77", an "Inner meaning" which is of great importance to our little village, and to "True Harmony" within our little village, which is the "Way of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)" for our age, a way that each of us have been given, if we like, "A Way" to live our life, or not, "In True Harmony" with everyone else living in our age, until we die to the flesh, "A Way of True Harmony" for our age, which is most certainly "Our Choice", not God's. Amen. Bawa. Now as part of this drama in the little village of Mansur al-Hallaj (peace be upon Him), when the general public heard about what he had recited, they started to throw stones at Mansur al-Hallaj (peace be upon Him), but which he told his disciples felt like flowers when they hit him, because those who were throwing the stones did not know any better, as his disciples did. Bawa. But then when some of his disciples, those among his disciples who still trusted in the world, and who still loved the world, although they professed trust and love for God, and for their Shaikh, when they started to join the towns people, showing their support for their actions, but instead of stones threw flowers at Mansur al-Hallaj (peace be upon Him), he told his true disciples that these flowers felt like stones when they hit him, and cause him great difficulty, because "They Knew Better", because they had been told the truth, about their "Oneness", about the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us all, but within their hearts they had rejected this truth, for the sake or the world, though on the "outside" they kept acting as if they were true disciples of "Mansur Hallage" (peace be upon Him), but in truth no longer were. --- End of A Short Story by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen & by His Children (Ral.) --- Bawa. And this is the inner meaning of this little wisdom story, and the meaning of the "Title" to "Spiritual Letter 77", "Stop Throwing Stones At Your Shaikh". Bawa. That is, if "we" try to do anything in our life, as if we are "separate from" God within us, no matter what we may choose to call it, calling it "Duty to God", or "Duty to the Guru", or "Duty to the Fellowship", or even "Duty to our Family", and "Duty to the World", or even a "Contract With Bawa", or even "Bawa personally told me to do this", then we have "Missed the Point" of our life, which is understanding the "Oneness" within us, and in the end, if we die to the flesh in our current state, then God must sent us to hell within us, because this is the only place that we have truly opened within us, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. That is, if we are always trying to do everything in our life from "self focus", from the ego, which is "our presence" on the "outside" of us, from "selfishness", from the "I and you", from the "mine and yours", from the perspective of "us" as "separate from", rather than from "God focus", rather than from wisdom, which is the "Presence of God" within us, from "selflessness", from "us and we", from the perspective of "Oneness with", then hell within us, an eternal life as "separate from", as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" each other within us, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, must become our fate, for eternity, because this is the only thing that we have opened within us, while living in the earth world, while attending this First of God's Schools within us, while attending this "School of Contrast" within us. So what is God to do, in the end, but to give us what we have opened. Bawa. What else is God to do with us in the end, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, but give us for eternity what we have opened within us, and if the only thing that we have truly opened within us is hell within us, is a life as "separate from" within us, "separate from" everything both within us and on the "outside" of us, then that must become our life for eternity within us, no matter what, not matter what God would like to give to us for eternity, no matter what God has planned to give to us for eternity, if we truly want it, that is, if we truly turn back to Him within us, before we die to the flesh, once we understand it. Bawa. That is, once we understand "Who we are" within us, not on the "outside" of us, which in truth is the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within us, just waiting to germinate within us, and reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, once we understand "Who God is" within us, which in truth is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the "Earth of God" within us, just waiting to germinate within us, and reveal True Man to True Man within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within us True Man within God within us, in this way, revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Bawa. So in this way, "We" can tell and bring to Completion the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which we came to this earth world , to join as "One with" the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for to use our life within us in this way, or not, to allow God and True Man within us to tell and Complete Their Story within us, or not, is most certainly Our Choice, not God's Amen. Bawa. For example, once we accept and read this Spiritual Letter from God within us, to the Children of God for our age, to turn back to Him within us, and only to Him within us, as our true Father, as our wisdom or true consciousness, as our true love, as our true life, as our true duty, which is open within us an eternal life as "One with" Him within us, or at least to truly start to open it within us, before we die to the flesh, with "Us" again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Ok? Bawa. And if we don't do this with our life, with what God within us has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of us, then it is truly only for one reason, which is because in truth we don't want it, we don't want God, we don't want to again become "Oneness with God" within us, and the "Red Flag" for this truth about us within us, is that on the "outside" of us, we are always trying to do everything as if we are "separate from", including following our Shaikh, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and including returning to God within our Shaikh within us. Bawa. We are always acting as if we are "separate from" Them, rather than as "One with" Them, we are always "Trying to Do It" as if we are "separate from" our Shaikh within us, which in truth is as if we are "separate from" God within our Shaikh within us, when in truth "We Know Better" than to do this, and then in the end, if we die to the flesh in our current state, hell becomes our fate, an eternal life as "separate from" God within us becomes our lot, because that is all we have "opened within us", before we died to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, in our current state, whether we know it or not, and even whether we want it or not, we are always "Trying To Maintain Our Duality", our "Separation and Differences", even from our Shaikh, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and even from God within our Shaikh, which in truth is just another reflection of our duality, of our "separation from" each other on the "outside" of us, is just another reflections of "Our Ego", of "our presence" trying to stand in the "Presence of our Shaikh", both within us and on the "outside" of us, and of "our presence" trying to stand in the "Presence of God" within Him within us. Bawa. And if continue to do this with our life, and if "We Know Better", which most of us in our age now do, even if we don't yet clearly know it, then all that we are really ever doing in our life, with everything that we do in our life, is "Throwing Stones At Our Shaikh", which causes Him great difficulty. Bawa. Since our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, are committed to one thing, and one thing alone within us, and that is pulling us back into Them within us, or at least truly starting to pull us back into Them within us, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. And doing all of this within us by Them first pulling us back into our Shaikh within us, if we like, if we will only let Them, if we will only join Them in what They are always trying to do within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Bawa. And then by Them pulling us back into God within our Shaikh within us, if we like, if we will only let Them, if we will only join Them, if we will only join Them in what They are always trying to do within us, which is to reveal True Man to True within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God us. Amen. Bawa. And which is something that They will continue to do within us, no matter what, up to our last breath, even if we currently cannot be cured, even if we currently still want something that God has discarded, which is everything that we current see on the "outside" of us, because "we may change our heart", for until the end, even God does not know our fate, with us either becoming "One with" God within us, or "One with" what '"separated from" God within us, when God became God within us. Bawa. For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and as 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 trying to teach us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "In the end, all that is left is God, and what has separated from God, and what is "separated from" God in the end, is what has refused to give up its "separation from" God, no matter what, no matter what God has shown it, and explained to it, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, through the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God" "And now, in this end time, on the "outside" of us, through the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is all of us living in this end time, 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 them, before they die to the flesh. Amen." Bawa. In this way, with us becoming in the end what is "separate from" God within us, if we continue to try and live in our current state, until we die to the flesh, if we continue to try and maintain "our presence" in the "Presence of our Shaikh", both within us and on the "outside" of us, and in this way, if we continue to try and maintain "our presence" in the "Presence of God" within Him, when in truth "We Know Better", when in truth we know that the true "Point of the Shaikh, and of God within Him", both within us and on the "outside" of us, is to "destroy us" and to "reveal our Shaikh" within us, and to "reveal God" within our Shaikh within us, is to reveal our wisdom within us, and to reveal the truth within our wisdom within us. Bawa. When in truth we know that the true "Point of the Shaikh within us, and of God within Him" is to "destroy us" as "separate from", as "separate from" everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us, and to "reveal our Shaikh" within us, and to "reveal God" within our Shaikh within us, as "One with", as "One with" everything, as the Rahman, the Most Merciful, and as the Rahim, the Most Compassionate, raising everything within us to a good state, if they like, or at least trying to, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. With "us" realizing, in partnership with God within us, that the true "Point of the Shaikh within us, and of God within Him", is not to further "define us" on the "outside" of us, as "separate from", is not to continue to "bear witness" of ourselves on the "outside" of ourselves, and of what we think in our ignorance that we, and our dearest loving brothers and sisters, are doing on the "outside" of us, all of which is a dream. Bawa. But rather the true "Point of the Shaikh within us, and of God within Him" is to continually "define God" within us as "One with", and to continually "bear witness" of God within us, and of what is within God within us, and of what "God is doing with" what is within God within us, if we will only let Him, if we will only join Him, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is to reveal True Man to True Man within God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, which is to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, 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 and of True Man within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, may we both realize this without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, for as long as we "Keep Fighting With Our Shaikh For Our Soul", as long as we keep trying to keep our soul crucified on the cross of our life of sin, of selfishness, on the "outside" of us, so we can continue to sin on the "outside" of us, so we can continue to try and live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, when in truth "We Know Better", then everything that we say we are doing, or trying to do, on the "outside" of us, in the Name of our Shaikh within us, and in the Name of God within our Shaikh within us, is in truth just "Throwing Stones At Our Shaikh", and is cause Them great difficulty within us. Bawa. And such is our current state, and our current duty, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, no matter what we may choose to call it, whether it be "Duty to God", or "Duty to our Shaikh", or a "Contrast with Bawa", or "What Bawa personally told me to do", when "We Know Better", in truth it is really just "Throwing Stones At Our Shaikh", in truth it is just "Throwing Stones At God Within Him", causing Them both great difficulty within us, because in truth, They are "Our Father, our Shaikh, and our Guru" and in truth "They are One", and the only proper duty to Them within us, is the following prayer. A prayer that was given to us by our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within us, for our age, in 1972, as a prayer that we must recite each day, and now on the "outside" of us, is given to us again by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), is given to us again, right now, as part of this Spiritual Letter, "Oh my Father, my Shaikh, my Guru, we need Your love, please, please, please, destroy me (and reveal You)" [Note: For a description of the circumstances surrounding the giving of this prayer to His Children, and of how this prayer has grown within the heart of this child, and within the heart of all of us, over the last 33 years, please click on the following: Spiritual Prayer 01 (www.SpiritualPrayer001.homestead.com). Enjoy. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, such is the fault within us all, that will cause God within us all, to most certainly sent us to hell, to hell within us all, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, which in truth is the only hell there is. Bawa. So, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, before it is too late, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of "separation and differences", in our current state of "Knowing Better", but of still trying to live a life on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us, before it is to late to do this "Heart's Work" within us, we must "Stop Fighting With Our Shaikh For Our Soul", for a life that can only continue to exist, either within us or on the "outside" of us, if we keep our soul, which is our original pure birth and life within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, crucified on our impure birth and life within us, which in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we only currently see as our current life on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within us in our ignorance, and which now rule over us. Bawa. Which now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission", until we "See God and Steady God" within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of sin, of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not try. Bawa. For as Bawa told us one day "In the room", "I haven't come for you. I have come for your soul. I have come to awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the "Enemy of your soul". Bawa. And when this child heard His Holiness say this, we said to Bawa. "Bawa, who is the "Enemy of our soul?" Bawa. And Bawa looked right at this child and said, "You are!" Bawa. Such is our current state, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, and realizing this, realizing this truth about our current state, we must immediately "throw ourselves back into the fire", back into the fire that we were all in when we first met our Shaikh (may God be pleased with Him), so He can finish what He started within us, before we "moved away", moved away from the fire that He started within each of us, if we like. Bawa. In this way, with "us" moving away from the fire within us just enough so He cannot finish what He has started within us, so He cannot destroy us, and reveal God within us. Bawa. So He cannot destroy us as "separate from" God within us, and reveal God within us, reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Bawa. In this way, with "us" moving away from the fire just enough so we can continue to act as if we are still true disciples of our dear Father, but within our hearts we have rejected His truth, we have rejected the truth of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, we are again rejecting the truth of our dear Father, but now on the "outside" of us, as the truth of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), for example, like this beautiful Spiritual Letter to all of us, from God within us all, if we like. Amen. Bawa. With "us" rejecting it all, both at the time of our dear Father living with us in the world, and now, at the time of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) living within us in the world, with "us" rejecting it all, both then and now, because of our trust in the world, and because of our love for the world", with "us" in truth now only acting on the "outside" of us as if we are true disciple, while in truth we have become the "Enemy of the Shaikh", and in this way, we have become the "Enemy of the soul". Bawa. Which is now a fault within us which God within us knows all too well, so in truth we are not fooling anyone, that is, anyone but ourselves, a fault that is causing God within us to reject us, to reject all that we do in the "Name of God", and in the "Name of our Shaikh", rejecting it all as but a reflections of our "Sin of Hypocrisy", our "Sin of Righteousness" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com), which is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) called it over 2000 years ago, that is, the "saying of one thing, but the doing of another", the "holding of one thing in our heart, and the placing another on our lips". Bawa. Such is our current state, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, whether we know it or not, whether we even like it or not. Bawa. Which in truth is Ok, is fine, as long as we realize it before it is too late, and join in partnership with God to correct it. It is just this simple. Bawa. For nothing is lost, at least not yet, at least not until we die to the flesh in our current state, and God then has no other Choice but to "separate" us from Him, because we have become "One with" what God has "separated from" Himself to become God within us. Bawa. Nothing is lost, not yet, unless we continue to hide it, continue to hide this truth of our current state, hiding it both from our dearest loving brothers and sisters, and from ourselves, hiding it from our dearest loving brothers and sisters who in truth are all suffering from the same fate, the same fault, and hiding it from ourselves. Bawa. Which is the most difficult thing to overcome, but we still can, in partnership with God within us, if we like, for to do this or not with our life, with our life within us, to truly let Bawa within us, and God within Him, destroy us, as "separate from" Them within us, and reveal "Us" as "One with" Them within us, and as "One with" all that They are One with within God within us, to do this or not, is Our Choice, to truly join in partnership with God within us to do this, to overcome this fault within us, before we die to the flesh, is Our Choice, not God's. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to our dearest loving sister/wife Angela, to our dearest loving sister/daughter Jamella, to our dearest loving brother/son Kareem, and to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Bawa. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And as always, please try to join in partnership with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this beautiful sharing with them, for in truth this is the only way to become successful in our lifetime, to live as "One with" Bawa within us, and with God within Him, allowing Them to perform Their duty to all of God's Creation in the 18,000 universes within Them within us, through this relationship of love between Us. Amen. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of "Page 1 of 1" of "Text Only Version" for - Spiritual Letter 77 - ......................... |
