Here is "Page 1 of 2" of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 75", to each of you, if you like, as the Children of God for our age, if you like, that is, if the true intention for the life within you, for your soul life, is to allow it to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. Which is an "Outline & Summary Version" of "Spiritual Comment 01" (www.Spiritual Comment001.homestead.com), which are comments on "Bawa Quotation 001" (www.BawaQuotation001.homestead.com), comments by this child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), living at the feet 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, of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, , which is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh.. Both of which you can access directly if you like, by clicking on the following: 1) "Spiritual Comment 01" (www.SpiritualComment001.homestead.com) 2) "Bawa Quotation 001" (www.BawaQuotation001.homestead.com) Comments by our dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) about the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" between "Us", between "us", God within us, and True Man within God within us, if we like, because in truth it is our Choice, not God's. That is, it is most certainly "Our Choice" to do this with our life, or not, to do this, this becoming again "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, to do this with the "Precious Gift" that God has given to each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is our soul, the wisdom surrounding our soul, and God within our wisdom, which in truth is the Holy Trinity, the Triple Flame within us, is the "Example or Sunna" of the Prophet of God on the "outside" of us, of both Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), and of all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God that have come into the world, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, on the "outside" of us. That is, the "Example or Sunna" of the Prophet of God on the "outside" of us, for "us", to truly join in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, to allow our soul life within us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, instead of what we are currently doing with it, with this "Precious Gift", which is to keep our soul, to keep Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, crucified on the cross of our elemental body within us so we can sin. So we can sin on the "outside" of us, crucified with the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin, that is, to live a life 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, and it is "Our Choice", not God's Choice, and this in truth is the "Only Choice", either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). ============================================================== Outline & Summary Version - of Spiritual Letter 75 "Silent Outline" - with no summary of each Topic - go to Next Page of "Silent Outline" Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 75 ============================================================== "Brief Outline" - with a short summary of each Topic - go to Next Page of "Brief Outline" Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 75 ============================================================== Text of Spiritual Letter - with an expanded summary of some Topics 01. And The Choice is Ours, Not God's Expanded Summary of Topic 01: And The Choice is Ours, Not God's, for such is the nature of the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" within us, between "Us" within us, between "us", God within us, and True Man within God within us, if we like, because in truth it is our Choice, not God's. That is, it is most certainly "Our Choice" to do this with our life, or not, to do this, this becoming again "One with" God within us, or not, before we die to the flesh, to do this with the "Precious Gift" that God has given to each of us, a very, very long time ago, which is our soul, the wisdom surrounding our soul, and God within our wisdom, to do this with the Holy Trinity, the Triple Flame within us, or not. That is, to truly join in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, to allow our soul life within us to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, instead of continuing to do what we are currently doing with it, with this "Precious Gift" within us, which is to keep our soul crucified within us, that is, to keep Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us crucified on the cross of our elemental body within us so we can sin. So we can continue to sin on the "outside" of us, crucified with the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin, that is, to continue to live a life 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, and it is most certainly "Our Choice", not God's Choice, and "This Choice" in truth is our "Only Choice", that is, a Choice of either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us Text of Topic 01: My dearerst loving brothers and sisters, this in truth is the true "Shaikh Disciple Relationship", that each of us must join in partnership with God within us to establish within us, before we die to the flesh, that is, to establish the "Oneness of Us" within us, to establish the "Oneness" of "us" as the Creation of God within us, of God within us, and of True Man within God within us, for in truth "We are all One" within us, and "we" are only "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of us, which is what we are currently experiencing in our ignorance, as "us" and the "outside" of us, which is "us" and all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters living in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, all of which is not true. All of which is really within us, as the lives of darkness and evil that in our ignorance we have allowed to grow within us, like weeds in a beautiful flower garden, and in our ignorance we have become "one with" with the weeds within us, rather than with the beautiful flowers, which in truth are the Qualities and Actions of God within us, rather than again becoming "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And in this way, by joining in partnership with God, both within us and on the "outside" of us, in order to establish the "Presence of God" within us, before we die to the flesh, which is the true "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" within us, with "us" living at the "Feet of our Shaikh" within us, and of God within Him, with "us" living at the feet of our wisdom, and of the "Truth of God" wthin our wisdom, which in truth is the "Heart of Our Shaikh" within us, is the "Place of the Puity of God" within us, the place within us no bigger than an atom which contains "God, the soul, and goodness". And once awakened within us, our wisdom will liberate our soul within us, which is our original pure birih and life within us, from its cross, from our current impure birth and life within us, if we like, that is, our 6th level of wisdom within us, which is the Qutbiyyat or Muhaiyaddeen of God (may God be pleased with Him) within us, which is the wisdom or consciousness within us which teaches, analyzes, and controls within us, will liberate Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us from His Cross, if we like, that is, will liberate Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us from the "Enemy of our soul" within us, which is our current life on the "outside" of us, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us, and sin. That is, to continue trying to live a life of "separation and differences", a life of."selfishness", on the "outside" of us, as if we are separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other on the "outside" of us, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, until we die to the flesh, until we physcally die to the "outside" of us, all of which is not true. That is, our wisdom will naturally do all of this "Divine Work" within us, all of this "Heart's Work" within us, as our birthright, as our true heritage, as the true destiny of our soul, once we join in partnership with God within us to "awaken it", and then to "call it" into "Service Within Us", before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us. That is, once we have joined in partnership with God within us to awaken the wisdom surrunding our soul, by becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, the "Word of God" for our age for the "Chldren of God" for our age, in this way tansforming our current impure heart back into the "Place of God's Purity" within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, in order to, "To close down the world of hell (of demons) within us, of jinns (of fire beings) within us, and of fairies (of air beings) within us, to re-open the "World of soul" (of the lives of wisdom and purity) within us, and then to open the "Kingdom of God" (the lives of wisdom within wisdom, and of purity within purity, within us, of God's Grace) within us. Amen." In this way, first transforming our heart into the "Palace of the soul" within us, into the "House of wisdom" within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, if we like, and then into the "Kingdom of God" within us, and into the "Secret World of Allah" within that Kingdom, where "True Prayer" can occur within us, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", within us. Amen. And doing all of this, or at least joining in partnership with God within us start it, before we die to the flesh, if we are ever to become truly successful in our lifetime, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. And then joining in partnership with God within us, to "call our wisdom" within us, and God within our wisdom, into "Service Within Us", before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, that is, to call the 6th level of wisdom within us, to call the Qutbiyyat or Muhaiyaddeen of God (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, into "Service Within Us", before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, And we do this, as we did this in all earlier ages, by calling out the "Name of God" for our age, which is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, the name of the "Word of God" for our age for the "Children of God" for our age, before we "say or do" anything, which is also the name of the "Purfectly Pure Place of God' within us, which which contains "God, the soul, and goodness", God place within us each of us even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, this first of God's Schools, to this "School of Contrast", in order to learn about who we "Already are", and to learn about what "separates us" from God within us, from who we "Already are", and having come to this understand through this school, because "undersanding only occurs through contrast", to become again "One with" God within us, or at least truly start to, before we die to the flesh, so God can then do everything else, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. And the "Name of God" in all earlier ages was in truth the name of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, that God sent into the world, over and over again, for the last 200 million years, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) first came into this earth world or school, including the name of the "8 Main Prophets of God", that we are all familiar with, which are: 1) Adam (peace be upon Him) 2) Noah (peace be upon Him) 3) Abraham (peace be upon Him) 4) Ishmael and Issac (peace be upon Them) 5) Moses (peace be upon Him) 6) David (peace be upon Him) 7) Jesus (peace be upon Him) 8) Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) And now in our age, which in truth is not like any age before, what is the "Name of God" within us? What is the "Name of God" within us, that we should invoke on the "outside" of us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, in order to establish the "Presence of God" within us, before we "say or do" anything on the "outside" of us? In order for our wisdom within us, to come out of the "Place of Purity" within us, which is where God and all of the "Stuff of God" lives within us, and come into our mind and desire within us, which is where "we" as "separate from" God within us, currently live within us, so our mind and desire will sit down within us, as our wisdom, and God within our wisdom, stand up within us, establishing the "Presence of God" within us, so the "outside" of us will sit down within us, so the "outside" of us, as the 9 openings of our body, of our elemental body, will stop ruling over us, with God's Permission within us. That is, what is the "Name of God" for our age, not for earlier ages, not for the ages which have all now passed, and which are now all over, but rather the "Name of God" for our age. And the "Name of God" for our age, is the name of the "Presence of God" for our age, is the name of the "Stuff of God" within God within us for our age, is the name of the wisdom surrounding our soul within us, for our age, which in truth is the "Guardian of the soul" within us, for our age, is the name of what God personally and ever so lovingly placed within us, and on the "outside" of us, for our age, even before we were born, even before we came into this earth world or dunya within us, in our age, into this First of God's Schools within us, into this "School of Contrasts" within us, for our age. Amen. And the "Name of God" for our age, is the name of the "Gift of God" for our age, the name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, the name of the "Word of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us. Realizing, without the slightest doubt, that the "Word of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" for our age, is the "Mother's Milk" to the "New Born Baby" within us, which is the "Water of Wisdom" within us, that is, is the water or grace, both within and on the "outside" of us, within the "Word of God" for our age, that will truly awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul within us. Which in truth is what God placed within us, both within us and on the "outside" of us, in our age, as the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, in order to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, if we like, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can then do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", both within us and on the "outside" of us, which in truth is "us" living on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us. Amen. And in truth, the "Gift of God" for our age, the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, the "Word of God" for our age, for the "Children of God" 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, if we like, 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. Amen. And in this way, before we "say or do" anything in the world we must say the name "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), in order to establish the "Presence of God" within us, in this way, with "us" as "separate from" God within us, stepping back within us, so the wisdom surrounding our soul within us, steps forward within us, coming from its "Place of Purity" within us, which is where all of the "Stuff of God" lives within us, which is a small piece of flesh within us no bigger than an atom, into our mind and desire within us, which is where we, as "separate from" God within us currently live within us, causing our mind and desire to sit down, as our wisdom stands up. Amen. But please remember, that after our wisdom comes into our mind and desire, after we have properly called it, after we have stepped back, so our wisdom can step forward, and then after our wisdom deals with what we have called it to do, like be the One who talks to this person, or the One who deals with this situation, or the One who handles these thoughts or actions coming out of us, then our wisdom returns to its "Place of Purity" within us. So if something else comes up requiring our wisdom, which in truth is everything else, which is truth anything else, we have to call it again, we have to say the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be please with Him), establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we again "say or do" anything. And in this way, our day becomes taking each breath, saying each word, performing each action, thinking each thought, starting with the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be please with Him). And doing this until we die to the flesh. Amen. Such is the life and the understanding of this child. Amen. This is the "Name of God" for our age, the name 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, the name of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). This is the "Name of God" for our age, which is like no other age before it, because all that has come before us is now finished, and all who have come before us have failed, and are only waiting in their graves as elemental spirits, roaming the earth world within us, waiting for Qiyamah, waiting for Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Final Judgment), that is all, and now deserve what they, and now us, have all truly earned, while living on the "outside" of us, which in the "Eyes of God" within us, is hell, which is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, nothing less, and nothing more. Because that is what we want, we want to continue living, after we die, as we lived before we died, 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. So what is God to do with us, when we die? What choice have we left Him. None, but to send us to hell, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because of all of thethngs that God has placed within us, this is the only thing that we have truly opened, a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, a life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us. So what is God to do with us, after we die to the flesh, but give us what we want, but give us an eternal life of the only thing that we have opened up within us, which is an illusory "outside" of us, of all of the things that we could have joined in partnership with God within us, to open within us. For example, we could, if we like, join in partnership with God within us, to open each of the following things within us, each of this "Stuff of God" within us, before we die to the flesh, or at least truly join in partnership with God within us to truly start these things "Happening" within us, so after our death to the flesh, God can then "Do Everything Else" within us, as "God's Promise" for our age, as "God's Guarantee" for our age, in order for God within us to finish what God has started within each of us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, to this First of God's Schools, to this "School of Contrast", so after God completes "His Work" within us, "we will be within it", as the Witness of God, as the Witness of what God has completed withn us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. That is, to join in partnership with God within us, to open, or at least truly start to open, the following "Stuff of God' within us, from within the "Place of Purity" within us, which is a tiny piece of flesh within us, no bigger than an atom, which is completely indestructable within us, and which returns to God within us, when it is over. Which in truth is the only way we can truly return to God within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, to transform our current impure heart within us, which contains our current impure birth and life within us, which in our ignorance we currently see as the "outside" of us, as the illusory "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the real but false "inside" of us, into His "Place of Purity"within us, which in truth is the real and true "inside" of us. And in this way, in partnership with God within us, awakening our wisdom within us, with the "Gift of God" for our age, with the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, with the "Word of God" for our age for the "Children of God" for our age, which is all 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. And in this way, liberating our original pure birth and life within us, from the cross of our current impure birth and life within us, which in truth is our current life on the "outside" of us, and bringing it to maturity within us, as the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within us, transforming our pure birth and life in the process into the "Light of man" within God within us, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and then into the "Light of God" within us, which is the Nur Muhammad within us, which appears as "True Prayer" within us, which is "God praying to God" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, then appearing as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, and of True Man within us. Amen. For example, in this way, in partnership with God within us, opening within us, or at least starting to open within us, before we die to the flesh, the following: 1) The 124,000 Prophets of God Within Us: That is, the 124,000 Heaven Beings, Prophets, And Lights of God within us, including the 8 main Prophets of God within us, which are: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael and Issac, Moses, David, and Jesus (peace be upon Them), and finally the first and last Prophet of God within us, Muhammad (blessing and peace b e upon Him). Amen. 2) The "Tree of Iman" Within Us: For example, the Absolute Faith of Abraham and of "John the Baptist" (peace be upon Them) within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called Iman, or the complete, unshakable, absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth "There is nothing other than God" within us, that in truth "Only God exists" within us, and that in truth "God is One" within us. Amen. 3) The 6th level of Wisdom Within Us: Which is the wisdom surrouonding our soul within us, which needs to be awakened by God within us, when we join in partnership with God within us, to find, and then realize, understand, accept, and join as "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, with the "Word of God" for our age for the "Children of God" for our age. And in this way, awakening the consciousness or wisdom within us, which is the wisdom of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, the wisdom which teaches, analyzes, and controls everything within us, the wisdom within us which is capable of, "Closing down the world of hell within us, the world of jinns within us, the world of fairies within us, of re-opening the world of souls within us, and then opening the "Kingdom of God" within us, before we die to the flesh, if we like, if we will only join in partership with God within us, to willingly and freely let "us" as "separate from" God within us, and the "outside" of us, come to an end, before "we" come to an end, and in this way, to be "die before death", and to be "born again". Amen. 4). The Fruits of the Tree of Iman Within Us: Which in truth is the Prophet David (peace be upon Him) within us, as the completion of the 96 Potentialities of man within us, of the Justice Kings within us, as harvest or the "End of the Age of Iman" within us, the "End of the Justice of Kings" within us. 5) The Seeds of the Fruits of the Tree of Iman Within Us: Which in truth is also the Prophet David (peace be upon Him) within us, as the "End of the Age of Iman" within us, as the "End of the Justice of Kings" within us, and the One who tastes those fruits within us, and then distributes them to all of the Creation of God within us, which is Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and the One who then plantes the seeds of those fruits within us, within all of the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us, which is also Qutb Alexander (may God be pleased with Him) within us, who then plants the "Seeds of the Next Age" within us, which is the age of the Tree of Iman-Islam within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the Katpah Virudchum, or the "Wish Fulfilling Tree", which gives us whatever we want, the age of the 99 potentialities of man within us, of the bridge between the 96 and the 99 potentialities of man, which is "Three of God" within us, which in the Christian tradition is referred to as the Holy Trinity of God, as the "Father, the Sun, and the Holy Spirit", and in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the "Triple Flame", as the "God, the Light of Wisdom", and the Wisdom", as "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" 6) The Holy Trinity Within Us: (more to come, God willing) 7) The Triple Flame within Us: (more to come, God willing) 8) The "Onenesss of God And True Man" Within Us: (more to come, God willing), In this way, the "True Question of Our life", the only "True Question of Our life", at this point in our life, at this point in what God is doing within us, after reading this Spiritual Letter, which in truth is from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, that is, if we have the heart to realize it, is, 1) What are we telling God right now, by the way that we are currently liviing our life on the "outside", about what we want for eternity? 2) And what will we do with this Spiritual Letter? That is, what will we do with what we are now sharing in this beautiful Spiritual Letter, which in truth is "our own life speaking to us", which in truth is "the truth of us" and the "truth of God" within us, emerging from within us, because now, in our age, we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. For the choice is ours, not God's. And in this way, this is the "True Question of Our Life". And from another perspective, from another "Facet of Gem", which in truth is what is within us, the "True Question of Our Life", is, "Will we too become like those who came before us, And roam the earth world within us until Qiyamah, Until "The Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment", Or will we allow God within us, To finish what God has started within us, A very, very long time ago, Even before we were born into this earth world, Which is to reveal God to God within us, For the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, And then, We will be within it, as the Witness. Amen." That is, will we too end up as the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, that in our ignorance we have grown within us, like weeds in a beautiful flower garden, with "us" in our ignorance becoming "One with" the weeds, rather than "One with" the flowers, which in truth are the Qualities and actions of God within us. With "us" have become in our ignorance "One with" the weeds within us, that give us the illusion of living our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, but that after we die to the flesh, we then take on in their true form, the true from of these weeds within us, with "us", after we die to the flesh, becoming "One with" the elemental beings of earth, fire, air, water, and ether, or color or sky withinus, that we have grown within us, in our ignorance, as we lived our temporary temporal lives of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, becoming a demon, a jinn,a fairies, or a ghosts, and them roaming the earth in these elemental forms until Qiyamah within us. With us next going to Qiyamah within us, after we die to the flesh, and after the "suffering of the grave" within us, to Qiyamah within us, which includes the "Standing Forth" within us, where the Creation of God within us are permitted to testify against us before God within us, telling God what we made them do within us, what we subjected them to within us, in our ignorance, as we lived on the "outside" of us. That is, what we made them do, as our hands, and legs, and eyes, and mouth, and as each part of our body, as we lived out an illusory life of sin, of "selfishness" on the "outside" of us, and with "us" not permitted to speak in our defense, and then experiencing the "Day of Judgment" within us, with us taking on 105 million re-births within us, experiencing first hand the Creation of God within us, and God's judgment of them within us, with us ending as a worm in hell within us with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling. Amen. So, getting back to the "True Question of Our life", whether we know it or not, that is, what we need to truly think about a little, before it is too late to change anything about us, that is, before we die to the flesh. That is, what have we told God within us, over and over again, for the last 200 milliion years, that we want for eternity, by the way that we have and are now living, which is the true age of each one of us, as the culmination of what God has been trying to accomplish within us, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) first appeared within us on the earth world or dunya within us, in the "School of Contrast" within us, what have we told God within us, no matter how many times God sent down His 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God to teach us "What we do not know", no matter how many times God told us, and showed us, "The Truth". That is, no matter how many times God told us, and showed us the "truth of us", and the "truth of God" within us. That in truth, "we" are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, if we like, if we will let this seed germinate, then we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, which in truth is the "Earth of God" within us. And God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Tree of God" that grows out of the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, if we will only let that seed germinate, and as such, God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and as such we are One, that is, "us", the Creation of God within us, and God within us, and True Man within God within us "Are all One". But still we keep asking for what we currently see on the "outside" of us, as our eternity, nothing less, and nothing more. This is what we have told God within us that we want for eternity, for 200 million years, and this is what we continue to ask for, which in truth is our current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, this is what we continue to ask for, for our eternity, not by our words, but by our actions, by how we have lived and continue to try to live our life, on the "outside" of us, and in this way, this is what we are telling God that we want for eternity, that we want to receive an eternal life as we have lived our short temporal life on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us. And this is the truth of our life, and the truth of what we are telling God that we want, for eternty, after we die to the flesh. And the "Gift of God" for our age, the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, the "Word of God" for our age for the "Children of God" for our age, is in truth for our age, 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, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh. In this way, if we are wise, if we truly accept the "Gift of God" for our age, as truly coming to the "Children of God" for our age, from God within us all, and not from some fool like this child, and then if we join in partnership with God within us, to use it, to use God within us to get to God withus, that is, to build and open the "Path of God" within us, we will truly become successful in our lifetime. To build, open, and enter the "Path of God" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called firdaus within us, the 8th heaven within us, the Kingdom of God within us, that is, to built and opened this path within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, in order to reveal the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, who in truth is this path within us, is the "Light of our wisdom" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the Nur Muhammad within us. And then to join in partnership with God within us to move God within us along that path within us, which is the true reason and purpose for our age, as differfent from all previous ages, which were to complete the "Path of God" within us, which in truth is the "Religion of God" within us, and to place a seal on that path within us, so God within us could then walk back to God within us, in this way, with God within us revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. In this way, with us joining in partnership with God within us to move God within us forward on this "Path of God" within us, if we like, that is, allowing God within us, which is our soul within us, which is our original pure birth and life within us, to return to God within us, as "One with" God within us, which is the Primal One within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. In this way, if they like, bringing the Creation of God within us to completion within God within us, or if they don't like, spreading them back among what God within us has discarded from within Himself, in order to become God within us, and in this way removing them from within us, if we like, if our 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. Such is the Judgement of God within us, of us, if we like, and then of the Creation of God within us, if they like, and in this way, separating our soul, our original pure birth and life within us, from the Creation of God within us, from our current life on the "outside" of us, from our impure birth and life, before God within us separates them again from within Himself, if they like, or brings them to completion within Him, if they like, but this time from within us, and "we will be within it", we will be within God within us having again become "One with" God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. And, if we don't like, then both of us, both "us" and the Creation of God within us, are "separated from" God within us, spreading "us" and the Creation of God within us, back with what God within us earlier discarded from within Himself, in order to become God within us, and in this way removing "us" and the Creation of God within us, from Himself within us, in this way, sending us all to hell within us, for eternity, all within the "Justice of God" within us. For the Justice of God is that, "Whatever we intend is what we will recieve". Amen. Such is the truth of our current life, that in our ignorance we have become "One with" everything that God has discarded within us, which is everything that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, that we are now experiencing in our ignorance as "us" and the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the lives of darkness and evil within us, which in maturty now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elementary body, with "God's Permission", until we "See God and Steady God" within us, if we like, before we die to the flesh, allowing God within us, if we like, to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true. And if we continue to try and live this way, until we die to the flesh, that is, if we continue to try and live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true, then after we die to the flesh in this state, we must go to the "suffering of the grave" within us, becoming the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, that is, becoming as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost, roaming the earth world within us until Qiyamah, becoming the very same lives of darkness and evil that we gave birth to within us, in our ignorance, and then brought to maturity wiithn us, as we lived on the illusory "outside" of us in our ignorance, with "us" next going to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, with "us" then taking on 105 million rebirths, becoming a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness within us, or feeling. In this way, with us taking on an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. Amen. In this way, if we die in our current state, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" in our ignorance on the "outside" of us, then after we die to the flesh, after we physically die to the "outside" of us, then God will give us our reward, with "us" then being given by God within us, the "house that we have built" within us, and the "crop that we have sown" within us, while living on the illusory "outside" of us. Which if we die in our current state, our reward from God is what we truly wanted, is what we have truly told God that we wanted, for the last 200 million years, by the way that we have lived in the world on the "outside" of us, not just by our words, or by our preaching to others, but rather by the way that we have lived our life. And if we have lived a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, a life of "selfishness", on the illusory "outside" of us, then our reward is that, then our reward is an eternal life of that, then our reward from God within us is an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and "we will be within it", as the witness, as the witness of what God has discarded from Himself, to become God within us. But if we join in partnership with God within us, to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, then this is what we have told God that we want, and our reward for living this way, both within us and on the "outside" of us, our reward from God within us, is an eternral life as "One with" God within us, and "we will be within it", as the Witness. And in this way, by the way that we currently live our life on the "outside" of us, the choice is ours, not God. In this way, if we truly choose God within us, and not "us" on the "outside" of us, then God is what we will get, an eternal life as "One with" God within us, with "us" as the Witness of God and True Man within us, telling and completing Their story within us, 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. For in truth this is God and True Man within us, which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, as in truth the apple tree and its fruits, is the "Apple Tree happening" within the earth, and the "Apple Fruits happening" within the "Apple Tree happening" within the earth. Amen. And each us can do this, if we like, each of us can do this with our life within us, with our soul life, if we like, because in truth this is our birthright, our heritage, the true destiny of our soul, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world, to this first of God's Schools within us, to this "School of Contrast" within us, to learn about who we "Already are", and to understand what is "separating us" from God within us. Amen. Each of us can most certainly do this, with our soul life within us, if we like, by joining as "One with" our Shaikh, both within us and on the "outside" of us, as the "Gift of God" for our age, as the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, which in truth is the "Word of God" for the "Children of God" for our age. And in this way, by joining in partnership with God within us, to move all of this "Stuff of God" within us, before we die to the flesh, to move it from our mind and desire and senses on the "outside" of us, onto the tablet of our innermost heart within us, and doing all of this, at least truly starting it, before we die to the flesh, and in this way, allowing our Shaikh to then read that tablet within us and advise us further. Such is the true nature of the "Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" within us, if we like, that we each must establish within ourselves, that is, with God within our wisdom within the Creation of God within us, before we die to the flesh, which for our age is our relationship with His Holiness and with His Children (may God be pleased with Us). That is, our relationship with our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, with His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, that is, if we are to be become truly successful on the "Path of God" within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, to again becoming "One with" God within us, or at least truly start it, before we die to the "outside" of us. So God within us, within the Creation of God within us, can then "Do everything else" within us, in this way, completing what He started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the.benefit of all of the Creation of God (which is this earth world or dunya) within us, allowing True Man within God within the Creation of God within us, to then reveal True Man to True Man within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (which is the next world or akhirah) within us. Which is like what the apple seed does, buried within the earth, if it likes, if it realizes, understands, accepts, and joins as "One with" the truth that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready, when it is ready to hear it, and is ready to either accept it or reject it, and if it accepts it, then it joins as "One with" the earth to germinate, in this way, revealing the apple fruit hidden within the apple tree which is hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth. Such is the true "Path of God and True Man" within us, if we like, if we take this "Word of God" for our age for the "Children of God" for our age, if we take this life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, as our "own life speaking to us", as the truth emerging from within us, because now we are ready, now we are all finally ready in our age, to both hear ot and accept it, to both hear the "truth of us" and the "truth of God" within us, and to accept it, joining in partnership with God within us, to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, and to liberate our soul, our original pure life and birth, from its cross, from our current life on the "outside" of us, from the "Enemy of our soul", 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. Amen. In this way, allowing God and True Man within us to tell and complete 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, which in truth is God and True Man within us, and if and when They do this "Heart's Work" within us, then, if we like, "We will be within it". And "We will be within it", as the Witness, as the Witness of God and True Man within us, and of what They are doing within us, that is, if we will only join in partnership with God within us, to let Them do this within us, and to willingly and freely let the current illusory "outside" of us, and the current real but false "inside" of us, come to an end within us, before we die to the flesh, having realized, understood, accepted, and joined as "One with" the truth within us. That is, as "One with" the "truth of us", that in truth we are the "Seed of God" buried witihn the Creation of God, or "Earth of God", within us, and in this way, we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us. And as "One with" the "truth of God" within us, that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, and in this way, God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and as such we are all "One", "us" as "One with" the Creation of God within us, and God within us, and True Man within God within us, are all "One". As the apple seed buried within the earth, and the earth, and the apple tree, and the apple fruit, as well as the apple seed again appearing within the apple fruit, are all "One", One within the Other as One, One revealing the Other within it, One disappearing within the One becoming revealed, only to appear again in the next Cycle, in the next Cylce of "AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree", which in our case is in the next Cycle of "God-Man/Man-God". Amen. In this way, with "us" letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, that naturally emerges from within us, as our "own life speaking to us", when we are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. And such is the truth of our age, for now we are all ready to both hear it, and to accept it, if we like. And in this way, the choice is ours, not God's. Amen. And in this way, if we like, with "us" letting "us" be "born again", as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us to do, over 2000 years ago (see "Chapter 3", Verses 1 to 21, in the "Gospel of John", in the Holy Bible), and with "us" letting "us" also, "die before death", as the Sufis or Islamic Mystics have been telling us to do for the last 1400 years ago, and now in our age, we are again being told to do the same thing, to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, and now in our age, on the "outside" of us, we are being told this same thing again, but this time by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we like. For again the choice is ours, not God's. Being told, as the "Children of God" for our age, by the "Children of God" for our age, to let God and True Man within us, tell and complete "Their Story" within us, before we miss the chance to do so, before we miss the chance to use our life for this "selfless reason", as Jesus (peace be upon Him) showed us, over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) showed us over 1400 years ago, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) showed us over 1000 years ago. And now in our age, as our dear Father, Shaikh Muammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, are again teaching us to do, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), are telling us to do, right now, in this Spiritual Letter, which in truth is "our own life within us, speaking to us", if we like, which in truth is a letter to each of us living in this age, from God within us all, if we like, telling us again, for the "Last Time", what we must do with the life within us, with our soul life within us, before we die to the flesh, if we are to become truly successful in our lifetime. Telling us again what to do, if we like. For the choice is truly ours, not God's. That is, to join in partnership with God within us, to allow the current illusory "outside" of us, and the current real but false "inside" of us, to disappear within God and True Man within us, and within what They are doing within us, or at least truly join in partnership with God within us to start it, before we die to the flesh, so God within us can then do everything else, and when God and True Man have finished telling Their story, the story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, "We will be within it", as the Witness. Amen For more on this wisdom point please click on the following: Spirtitual Letter 60, "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com). ============================================================== Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Quotation (may God be pleased with Him) For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in 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 on-line Library, and as recorded for us on page 105, in Chapter 30, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body", (www.spiritualbook002chap30. homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.The PearlOfWisdom.homestead.com). -- Beginning of Quotation From, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) --- "Allah has by His grace adorned the body of man with these twenty-eight letters. They adorn the head, forehead, brain, eye, ear, nose, throat, shoulder, shoulder joint, throat -junction (Adam's Apple), spine, chest, stomach, hip, knee-cap, and feet." "Allah has enlivened and filled this body with many substances. Buried inside man's body are the good and the bad." "Dear, Son, if you wish to differentiate between good and bad and clarify yourself, you should associate with a virtuous Guru, perform His bidding, accept His exhortations, record and preserve them in the book of your heart." "Then the Master Guru will take that tablet of the heart, read it, and advise you further. He will teach you the secret of assembling the body of man with the twenty-eight letters of grace on each spot." "He will show you how to enliven each spot, how to give life to it, how to speak tactfully, how to dismantle the body parts, and how to re-assemble them. In this state." "My Son, if you learn the "magic" of dismantling the human body, and re-assembling it, you will witness the Primal One." -- End of Quotation From, M. R.
