Ok? 2-1. God Saved You, Now You Must Save God, If You Like - for in truth, as God died to Himself as "One" with Himself, within Himself within you, in order to save you, that is, so "you" could live within yourself, as "separate from" yourself, on the "outside" of yourself, so now "you" must die to save God, if you like, that is, now "you" must die to the "outside" of yourself, so God can again live as "One with" Himself, within Himself, as the Light of Man within God, but this time with an understanding of "His Oneness", so it will never leave Him again, that is, if you like, for the Choice to do this or not with your life, is your Choice, not God's, for God has already made His Choice, and He Chose to die, to "Let You Live", now the Choice is Yours, to die, or not, to "Let God Live Again".

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. My God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Daughter Sonia, My Dearest Loving Little Brothers Musa (Mani Levin) and Ahmad Muhaiyaddeen (Jonathan Granoff), and all of My Dearest Loving GrandChildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 2 of the "E-mail Version" of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 96", to My Children from the heart of our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, which all of My Children should all read, if you like, which in truth is everyone living in your age, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", the age where "Who you are?" in truth is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the outside" of you, as now is the mistaken belief of most of My Children, a belief that is most certainly leading them to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within them, that is for sure. Amen. Bawa. That is, in the last and short final age of about 200 years, which started around 1886 and will end around 2086, about 80 years from today, when the "outside" of all of My Children is over, and the Next World, or the Hereafter, or akhirah begins within each of you, for the only question truly left to answer, for any of you, and the reason for this last little age, is "Where and how will you spend eternity within you?" Bawa. For in truth, the Choice is yours, not God's, and in truth there are only "Two Choices": "Either as "One with" God within you, or As "separate from" God within you. Bawa. And there is "No Other Choice", as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything else you still call a Choice is in truth just the drama of your mind and desire, of your current life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", of sin, on the "outside" of you, and is most certainly leading you to hell, that is, taking you on an Express Train to an eternal life within you of "separation from" God within you, and that is for sure, that is, if you don't become wise, before you die to the flesh in your current state. Bawa. That is, if you don't wise up to the truth of you, before it is too late to do anything about it, that you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and wise up to the truth of God hidden within you, that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, both just waiting to germinate, and as such, you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and God as such, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and as such, "You Are One" within you, not "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you, as must of My Children still mistakenly believe. Bawa. All of which God showed to My Children as an Example on the "outside" of you as the apple tree and its fruit, for the current state of each of My Children is like the life of the apple seed buried within the earth that lives a life of "separation and differences" within earth until it awakens to the truth hidden within itself, the truth about itself that naturally emerges from within it, like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of My Children, from within God within "Us" all. Bawa. That is, when the apple seed buried within the earth is ready to both hear this truth about itself, and either accept or reject this truth, before the apple seed rots and dies in the earth, and becomes subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, like each of My Children are now ready to hear Their Truth, and either accept or reject it, before they too rot and die in their earth, and become subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within God within "Us". Bawa. All of which for each apple seed in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", a Story that the apple seed came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, and all of which for each of My Children is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that each of My Children came to the earth world within you, to join with God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice to germinate and tell this Story, that is, the Choice to let God within you tell and bring to Completion the Story that God has hidden within you, or not, just like the Choice of each apple seeds buried within the earth, is you Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of each of My Children, and certainly not "Our" Choice, not God's, not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and certainly not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is who each of My Children really are, at least within you, for in truth, "We Are All One" within you, the only question is, "Do you want it", do your want "Your Oneness" within you. Bawa. And in this way, this is now Your Choice, the Choice to germinate to the truth hidden by God within you, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth that each of My Children is in truth the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", to germinate to the truth that each of My Children is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, and as such, in truth is "God happening" within the Creation of God within "Us", and as such, to germinate to the truth that each of My Children "Are One" within God within "Us", if you like. Bawa. All of which is like the Choice of each apple seed buried within the earth, that God gave to each of My Children as an Example on the "outside" of you, of what each of you can do within you, if you like, which in truth is the same Example that each of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God came into the world to show, and an Example that each of God's Creation came into the world to show. Bawa. As such, an Example that each apple tree came into the world to show, that in truth each apple seed is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that each apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening", and as such "It Is One", that is, "One with" the apple tree and its fruits, if it likes, that is, if it germinates to the truth of itself, before it dies to the earth, for like most people, most apple seeds fail to germinate to their truth. Bawa. That is, if you germinate to the truth within you, before you die to the flesh, that is, if you let the "Truth surrender to Truth" within you, so God can finish what God started within you, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God. Amen Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not "Ours", and not God, and not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's within you, because "We" have already made "Our Choice", and that is why each of you is now living in the world, so now You Can Also Choose, that is, You Can Choose whether or not "We" begin to live within you, or not, by joining in partnership with "Us" within you, to bring "you" to an end on the "outside" of you. And in truth, "The Truth" and your life is truly just this simple. Ok? Bawa. Please do it this way, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, for this is a very short age, this age of the "Justice of Conscience", which is only about 200 years long, which started when "We" came into the world, around 1886, and will end when "We" as now My Children leave the world, around 2086. Ok. Bawa. Please do it this way, My Children, by joining in partnership with God within you, which in truth is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and by joining in partnership with "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), while He is still living on the "outside" of you. Ok? Bawa. Please accept Him as some of you accepted "Us", and as some of you still need to accept "Us", that is, please accept "His Life and Teaching" now as the "Life and Teaching of God" for your age, all of which for each of My Children is now "Us" living again on the "outside" of you, but this time as "My Children", all of which for each of My Children, is now again "Our Life and Teaching", but this time "Without Any Veils", because what "We" taught you earlier, while "We" were still living with you in the world was "Veiled", as it was in all previous ages, in order to protect you from you, a little, that is, from your "Sin of Righteousness", which all of My Children have now become. Bawa. But which you can all now transcend, and truly become My Children, if you like, that is, if you do what "We" are now telling you to do, most recently in these last few Spiritual Letters, in Spiritual Letters 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95, and now in "Spiritual Letter 96". Ok? Bawa. That "We" are now telling you to do, but this time, as the life and teaching of "My Children", of those of My Children who have truly learned how to do it right, before "We" left the "outside" of you, which is what "We" promised "We" would do, that is, that "We" would return to you after "We" left the "outside" of you, that is, after 16 years ago, and now "We" have, returning as "My Children". Remember. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) ============================================================== Opening Prayer - From God within "Us" all to God within All of My Children Bawa. O God, may You bless My Children with "Your Beauty", so they may start to worship You from within You, and may You bless My Children with "Your Qualities" so they may start to do duty to You from within You, and may You bless My Children with "Your Modesty, Your Restraint, & Your Reserve", so they may start to overcome the fascination of torpor that has grabbed hold of them, and is keeping them focused on "themselves" living on the illusory "outside" of themselves, as if they are "separate from" You within them, instead of upon You within themselves, as "One with" them, and instead of on what is "Within you" within you, and on what "You are doing" with what is "Within you", which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And may You bless My Children with "Your Peace of Mind", so in partnership with You within themselves they may start to overcome maya, all of which is the illusory world that they currently see in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance as existing on the "outside" of themselves, but which in truth is within themselves, is in truth all of the lives of darkness and evil that they have allowed to grow within themselves , like weeds growing in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", which was the original state of their heart, as You gave it to them. Bawa. That is, the weeds and co-operative store of hell which has now grown within them, within each of My Children, and which now gives off the horrible smell and fragrance of hell from deep within them, to the "outside" of them, and which now rules over them, as the 9 openings of their elemental body, and as the "bloody business" of the co-operative store of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within them, that was built for profit, and as such is now feeding all of the lives of darkness and evil within them, in this way, making the illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", of sin, of each of My Children, nothing but a "A Feast of the world" within them. Bawa. And all of which is now currently occurring within each of My Children with "Your Permission", O God, that is, until they join in partnership with You within them, which in truth is now "Us" within You, to "See and Steady You" within themselves, O God, allowing You to then "Cure Yourself of them", O God, for in truth, living as if they are "separate from" you, they in truth "do not really exist". Bawa. That is, allowing You to then "Cure Yourself" of them living in their current state of "separation and differences", in their current state of "selfishness", all of which in truth is their current state of sin, that is, the sin of "their own presence", and "their own intention", and "their own story", both within the very real but false world within themselves, that they do not see, and in the illusory "outside" of themselves, which is all that My Children current see, all of which started to grow within them, around the age of 2 years old, when at the insistence of their parents, they gave up, in their ignorance, and in the arrogance of their parents, as their parents did before them, that is, they turned away from "Your presence", and "Your Intention", and "Your Story" within them. Bawa. And in this way, O God, allowing You to "Cure Yourself of you", of what is now "separating You" from "You" within each of My Children, that is, to cure Yourself of what is now "separating You from "Your Soul", that is, that is separating You from the pure birth and life that you lovingly and ever so patiently placed within each of My Children, that is, separating Yourself from all that has now grown over "Your Soul", over your pure birth and life within each of My Children, which is now their impure birth and life, both within them and on the illusory "outside" of them, that is, to provide a Contrast to the Purity of the Soul, so Understanding can Occur, for in truth, "Understanding Only Occurs through Contrast". Bawa. And in this way, O God, in Truth "We are All One", You, "Us", and each of My Children, "Are all One", if they like, for the Choice is theirs, not "Ours" within You, and not Yours within "Us", and now, in this final short little age, in this age of the "Justice of Conscience", that you have finally given us, this is what each of My Children must now decide, that is, they must now decide what they want for eternity, now that all of the veils in "Your Teaching" have been removed, revealing only two Choice, they must now decide if they want an eternal life as "One with" God, or an eternal life as "separate from" God. Bawa. And in truth there is no other Choice, for everything else that they may now call a choice, like being a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, or a "Whatever", or even a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), is in truth just bearing Witness of themselves, not of God, is just the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and is only leading them to hell, to an eternal hell within themselves as "separate from" God within themselves, no matter what they may now choose to call it, for in the end, "You will not be there", and they will have separated themselves from You, which in truths is "Separating Themselves" from the "Truth of Themselves", and from the "Truth of You" hidden within them, and when they gradually or abruptly realize this, then their "Ideal Eternal Heaven" will become their "Eternal hell", their eternal hell within themselves of "separation from" You, O God, within themselves. Bawa. For in truth, O God, each of My Children are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within You, just waiting to germinate within You, and as such each of My Children are "God happening" within the Creation of God within You, just waiting, if they like, to join as "One with" You, to allow You to reveal Yourself within them as the "Tree of God" within You, and bear "Your Fruits" within You, for the benefit of all of them, that is, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within You. Bawa. All of which in truth is also "You", for in truth, "There is Nothing Other Than You", that is, all of which is now within You as the Creation of God within You, but in truth is just waiting to also happen within You, that is, just waiting to become the "Understanding of You", that emerges out of the "Shadow of You", if they like, which in truth is the current state of My Children within "Us", that is, when "We" can convince Everything within "Us" to again stand in "Your Presence" within "Us, and let You bring them to Judgment, before this final age is over, and before they all have to go to the "Suffering of the Grave" within themselves, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment") within themselves, which is the fate of all of My Children, if they are not wise, that is, if they do not wise up to the truth of themselves, and to the truth of You within them, and disappear into it, for such is now the Choice of all of your Creation. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with You now giving Everything within You the final opportunity to join in partnership with You to allow You to tell and bring to Completion "Your Story" within You, for the benefit of "Us", which in truth is also You, for in truth, "There is nothing other than You". Amen. Bawa. And in truth, O God, You are hidden within each of My Children as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within You, and as such, You are in truth "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and in this way, You and True Man within You are One, You and True Man within you are in truth the "Oneness of God and True Man" within You, and "We" are the Story of that "Oneness", "We" are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which naturally emerges out of your Effulgence, as Your Resplendence, Your Radiance, Your Resonance, and Your Grace, when You set about telling "Your Story", with "Your Intention" that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind". Bawa. A Story which You have been repeatedly telling for the last 200 million years, through "Your Presence", that is, through the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within You, first as the age of the "Justice of God", which decrees that "Whatever you intend is what you will receive", realizing that how you live on the "outside" of you, in truth is telling God within you, what you truly want for eternity within you, that is, either heaven or hell within you, that is, an eternal life within God within you, or an eternal life within as "separation from" what is "Within God" within you, for heaven is the "Within of God" within you, and hell is what has "separated from" God within you. Bawa. An age that is now truly over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, that is, as the clarity and devotion and obedience to God within you of the Prophets Adam and Noah (peace be upon Them) within God within you, if you like, an age ending and coming to Completion with "Your Judgment" of Your Creation, that is, with the coming into the world of Your Prophet Noah (peace be upon Him), His Little Family (peace be upon Them), the Flood, and the Ark, and the Creations of God in the Ark (peace be upon Them), again setting the stage for Your next age, the age of the "Justice of Kings", for your next telling and bringing to Completion of "Your Story", through "Your Presence", with "Your Intention", that, in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind". Bawa. A Story which You have again told and brought to Completion during the last two ages, for the last 4000 years, first for 2000 years as the age of the "Justice of Kings", that decrees that, "Whatever you intend for Your King is what you will receive", realizing that in truth "You" are all in this together, and that "Your Protection" under the One True King, who in truth is God within you all, is in truth protection for all of you, an age that is now truly over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, that is, as Iman or as the "Perfected Faith in God" within you, of the Prophets Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and David (peace be upon Them), if you like. Bawa. And then for 2000 years as the age of the "Justice of Man", that decrees that, "Whatever you intend for all of Mankind is what you will receive", realizing that all lives are just like your own, an age that is now over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, if you like, as Iman-Islam or as the "Beauty of God Reflected in the Face of God" within you, of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as having "Made Straight The Way of The Lord" within you, and of having truly established "True Prayer" within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One Who Is" within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not "Ours" within God within you, not God's within "Us" within you, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, the Choice to let God tell and bring to Completion "His Story" in "His Presence" with "His Intention" within you, or not. Amen. Bawa. A Story which You, O God, are again telling and bringing to Completion, for the last time on the "outside" of you, for 200 years, prior to the end of the "outside" of you, of all of you, as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", that decrees that , "Whatever you intend for all of God's Creations is what you will receive", realizing that in truth "Who you are" is "What is within you", and what is currently within you are all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, and as the co-operative store of the 5 elemental spirits for ruhanies within you, for "their profit", certainly not for your profit, for in truth, "All that you see is a dream, All that you do is but a thought within that dream, All that you appear as is hidden" "Life is a feast of the world, Its Medicine is a Time after a Time Is the Remembrance of God within you, With each breath, with each look, with each word, With each taste, and with each thought, Realizing that in truth Whether or not you are alive in the next moment, Is God's Will, not yours, May His will be done. Amen." "If you can have this faith, this Iman, with certitude, If you can have this intention, that His will be done, with each breath, If you can acquire His qualities and actions, Then that is the state of Islam, and of Christianity, and of Judaism, Of the True Believer". "For everything other than this state is drama, The drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" And is only leading you to an eternal hell, An eternal hell within you of "separation from God within you, And the only way to "Win the Drama", Is "Not to play", and instead, Is to get God within you to play" "And if you do, If you hand all of your drama to him, If you establish "His Presence" within you, And "His Story", and "His Intention" within you, Before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, Then He will bring all drama to an end within you, And establish You as His Son or Daughter within Him within you, As He has for "Our" Dearest Loving Son, And your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, O God, a Story which You keep telling until in truth, at the end of Your telling of Your Story, there is "No Child Left Behind", there is nothing Still "Separate From You". Bawa. And a Story which You have again started to tell, at the end of the previous age, that is, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", which was an age starting with Your intervention as the "Three Within Your One", first as the Holy Trinity, and finally as the Triple Flame, bringing the 96 Potentialities of Man, that You brought to Completion in the previous age, in the age of the "Justice of Kings", to the 99 Potentialities of Man-God/God-Man in the age of the "Justice of Man", preparing for Your Final age in Your "School of Contrast", where you have come to learn about everything that "separates you" from God within you, the First of God's Schools within you, setting the stage for Your Next School, for the "School of Light" where you will teach you about Your. Bawa. For as You have taught us, O God, through all of Your 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, over and over again, through all of Your previous ages, only God can pray to God, only God can learn about God, and only God can return to God, O God. Amen. Bawa. For in truth "You are One", O God, and in truth "So are We", if "We" like, and as such, "We are You, and You are Us", and such is the true Choice of all of Your Creation, not any of the "Silliness" you currently see on the "outside" of you, that is, to give up your apparent "separation from" You, and from Your Creation, all of which is "Just Not True", but rather in truth is the "Gift of Contrast" in Your "School of Contrast", so "True Understanding" can Occur, which is "Your Understanding of You", so "You" can go to Your Next School within You, to Your "School of Light" within You, so "Your True Oneness" can occur within "All of You". Bawa. So in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", that in the end, that "Nothing" is still "separate from" You, that in the end, You have truly "separated" you from You, for the benefit of You, but this time with the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave You again, for in truth "There is Nothing Other Than You". Amen. Bawa. Like this, O God, may all of You within You, which is now "Us" within You, which in truth is "Your Bank" within you, and "Your Prayer" within You, and all of My Children within "Us" within You, which in truth is "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank" within "Us" within You, and "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer" within "Us" within You, truly join in partnership with You within Us, to tell and bring to Completion "Your Story" within You, which in truth is "Our Story" within "Us" within You, the Story of True Man within God within "Us", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within You. Amen. Bawa. And O God, may You bless My Children with "Your Remembrance To Always Pray", so in partnership with You within themselves they may start to lose both happiness and sadness, all of which is the True Enemy of The Soul within them, which is the Elephant called "Happiness and Sadness" within them, which is currently within all of My Children, O God, and is leading them to an eternal life within themselves as "separate from" You O God, if they are not wise. Bawa. That is, if they do not wise up to the "Enormity of Their Problem", and turn to You and only to You for help, in this way, making "Them Your Problem", for only You can solve the "Problem of Them", the Problem known as My Children within "Us", that is, when they truly join in partnership with you within them, and in this way, and only in this way, let You take them on as "you", as what You must solve, which is the "you" of You, allowing them to again disappear back into You, from which "We" have all come, but this time as the "Understanding" of "Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness" will never leave "You" again. Bawa. For this Elephant called "Happiness and Sadness", is the true "Enemy of You", of you telling and bringing to Completion "Your Story" through "Your Presence" with "Your Intention", so in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", because it keeps you engaged in the world, day in and day out, moment by moment, in trying to move from one to the other, that is, from Sadness to Happiness, and at the very same time, to try and protect, and maintain the one so the other won't happen, that is, to stay Happy, and not let it slip away Bawa. For in truth, O God, this is "The Great Swing" of your life in the world, the up and down of your life in the world, which appears to animate your life, and give meaning to it, and give direction to it, but which in truth is all false, the "Elephant in the room" which is a very good name for this swing of your life in the world, this up and down of your life in the world, as the true enemy of Your True Life within "Us" within You, always appearing in your life in the world like the "Elephant in the room" at a party known as the world, which no one wants to talk about. Bawa. That is, always appearing in the world as the constant swing between happiness and sadness in life, one continuously replacing the other, but forever appearing as two, never as one permanently replacing the other, a truth which is never talked about during the party, which would be like taking about your mortality in the world, or your apparent "separation from" You in the world, because it would truly "Ruin The Party". Bawa. And in this way, O God, and only in this way, O God, may all of My Children within "Us" truly "Merge with You" within "Us", O God, that is, may all of My Children fall back into You within "Us", from which "We" have all come, but this time as "Your Understanding of You", so You will never be "separated from" You again. Bawa. And O God, may You do this for My Children in "Your Way", that is, through You, through Your Oneness within You, and not in "your way", that is, not through you, not through "your separation from" You on the "outside" of you, as My Children are all currently experiencing, in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance. Bawa. That is, O God, may You do this for My Children in "Your Way", that is, with You in partnership with You within You, and not in "your way", not by you selfishly working for wages to get into heaven, that is, to get into some new illusory "outside" of you, after the current "outside" of you is over, that is, to get into some new and better "outside" of you, which only contains what "you desire", like your loving family, friends, and those who believe, think, and act as you do, all of which is "Just Not True", O God. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, O God, may You accomplishing all of this in your lifetime in this earth world within Us within You, O God. That is, by You establishing True Prayer within God within You through the Beauty of God within You, and by You performing the Duty of God within God within You through the Qualities of God within God within You, and by You overcoming the fascination of your torpor that you are now experiencing as My Children, through the modesty of God within God within You, and by You overcoming maya or the illusion of this earth world that you now inhabit within "Us", as My Children, through the "Peace of mind" of God within God within you, and by You truly losing both the happiness and sadness that now overwhelms you within "Us", as My Children, through Your "Remembrance To Always Pray". Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. ============================================================== 2. Lessons From The Anniversary Weekend - and something each of My Children must now realize, without the slightest doubt, as our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen has realized, and that is "Your Oneness With", and "your separation from", and then decide between them, for you cannot have both, as most of My Children are still mistakenly trying to do. Ok? Bawa. "We" attended two of the meetings that you held as part of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Anniversary Weekend, last weekend, and here are some lessons "We" learned, if you like. 2-1. God Saved You, Now You Must Save God - for in truth, as God died to Himself as "One" with Himself, within Himself within you, in order to save you, that is, as God gave birth to your soul life within you, so "you" could live within yourself, as "separate from" yourself, on the "outside" of yourself, so now "you" must die to save God, if you like, that is, now "you" must die to the "outside" of yourself, so God can again live as "One with" Himself, within Himself, as the Light of Man within God, but this time with an understanding of "His Oneness", so it will never leave Him again, that is, if you like, for the Choice to do this or not with your life, is your Choice, not God's, for God has already made His Choice, and He Chose to die, to "Let You Live", now the Choice is Yours, to die, or not, to "Let God Live Again". Ok? [Comments to "Our" dearest loving Daughter Sonia (Sonia Kline)] Expanded Overview of Topic 01: Bawa. As your soul died to its birth and life of purity, as "One with" God, within God within you, taking on an impure birth and life within you, as "separate from" God within you, so "you" could live a life of "separation and differences" in the illusory world on the "outside" of you, so now you can return the favor, and die to your current life, if you like, so God can again live within God within you, that is, so God within you can finish what God has started within you, and within each of My Children, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, if you like. Bawa. All of which in truth is your current life on the "outside" of you, but which in truth is now all happening within you, not on the "outside" of you, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, that is, as the lives of the darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, that is, that you have allowed to grow within your mind and desires, and in this way, with you now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", a life of sin, on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". [Note: For more on this truth of your lives please read Chapter 3, "The World Within and The Without" (www.spiritualbook008chap03.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.spiritualbook008.homestead.com), by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, by His Children (may God be pleased with Us), if you like. To access an on-line copy of Chapter 3, please click above or HERE. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And in this way, this is how God saved you, by giving birth to your soul life within you, so "you" could live a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", a life of sin on the illusory "outside" of you, as all of My Children are now currently doing. Bawa. But at the same time, at a deeper level within "Us" within you, with all of this happening within you, so God could establish the First of God's Schools within "Us" within you, that is, the "School of Contrast" within God within "Us", so through "Contrast" the "Understanding of God's Creation" could occur within God within "Us", for in truth, "Understanding only occurs through contrast". Bawa. So now "you" must die to save God, so again God can live within you, if you like, so God within you can finish what God started within you, a very, very long time ago, for only then will your life truly become successful in your lifetime, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, for God has already made His Choice, and that was "To die to His Purity", in order to save you, that is, so you could live to your impurity, with the faith in True Man within God, that when you realized this, that is, what God did for you, that you would then do the same, that is, that you would then join in partnership with God within you, to die to your impurity, so God as "Your" purity could again live within God within you. Bawa. And in this way, come to maturity as "God's Story" within God within you, that is, as the "Presence" and "Intention" and "Story" of God within God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" with the "Intention" that in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", that is, in the end, that nothing still remain as "separate from" God, that all that is "separating God" from God is gone, and everything has returned to the "Oneness" that is God within you. Amen. Bawa. So now if you like, "You" must die to your impurity, in order to save God, that is, so God can again live to "His Purity", but this time with an understanding of His Purity, so it will never leave Him again. Amen. Bawa. That is, if you like, for in truth, for any of this to happen, you must now join in partnership with God within you, which in truth is "Us" within you, that is, is your wisdom, and God within you wisdom, in order to die to your impure birth and life within "Us", because in truth "you" are "Our Dream" within God within "Us", and "We are God's Dreamer", not you. That is, you must join in partnership with God within you, which is "Us" within you, if you like, to let the illusory life of "separation and differences" come to an end on the illusory "outside" of you, for in truth, in your current state on the "outside" of you, in truth, "you do not really exist", what lies hidden within you exists, but not you as living on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. For in truth this is what now lives within you, not you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which is what you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and now exists within you, as the very real but false "inside" of you, not what you are currently experiencing, as you living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For in truth this is what now really exists within you, the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and not you living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for in truth all that "you" do on the "outside" of you is but the false nourishment of the lives of darkness and illusion hidden within you, all of which you will meet after you die to the "outside" of you in your current state, as the "suffering of the grave" within you, and then as Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join in partnership with God within you to "Pass Judgment" upon them, that is, upon all of these lives of darkness and evil within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, let all of the lives of darkness and evil that have now grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, stand directly in the "Presence of God" within "Us", if they like, that is, now that "you" as "separate from" is gone, that is, now that "Our Dream" is over, that is, now that "We" as your wisdom surrounding your soul have awakened from our dream, and can now liberate your soul, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him), from His cross, which is your elemental body, and find and become "One with" Muhammad within God within "Us", which in maturity is the "Light of your wisdom". Amen. Bawa. That is, before you die to the flesh, so God can "Pass Judgment" upon them, upon all of the Creation of God within God within "Us", if they like, letting them become the "Understanding of the Creation of God" within God within "Us", an understanding that is now hidden within the "Shadow of the Presence of God" within God within "Us", as the Light within the Light of God within God within "Us", just waiting to be revealed. Bawa. That is, just waiting for the "Seed of God" that is your soul, buried within the Creation of God that is "God's Earth" within you, to germinate and reveal the "Tree of God" within you, and bear the "Fruits of God" within you, all of which God shows to you as an Example on the "outside" of you, as the "apple fruits" hidden within the "apple tree" hidden within the "apple seed" buried within the earth, if you like. Ok? Text of Topic 01: Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, beneficence, and blessing of God be upon My Children. May God help all of My Children. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Daughter Sonia - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. You are a very, very Good Child of the One Open Heart of God for your age, that is, of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His Children (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is each of you living in your age, if you like. Bawa. That is, if your true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, and get an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", is it will never leave you again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Your sharing at the Anniversary Meeting on Saturday Night really melted the heart of this child, my dearest loving Older Sister, and it is certainly true that "We are truly blessed to have received the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), but there is now something else that "We" must all realize, and that is, "What Can You Now Do For God?" Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father told us in His last talk, right before He left the "outside" of us, "Ask not what the Fellowship can do for you, but ask what you can do for the Fellowship". Bawa. In truth He was telling us the true "Secret of our life", that in truth each of His Children and God are "One", and the real point of our life is not just being saved by God, but in truth is to save God within us. Bawa. So what does God need to be saved from?. An understanding of this can be seen, if we like, by looking at the relationship between the apple tree and the apple fruit, and the apple seed within the apple fruit, and the earth that the apple tree is growing within, and that the apple seed becomes buried within it. Bawa. For in truth, "They are all One", and each saves the other, if we can begin to look at them from the perspective of "Oneness", rather than from our current perspective of "separation and differences", that is, of ourselves living on the "outside" of us, living a life of "separation and differences" 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 or Earth of God within us, all of which in truth is "Just Not True", for God is closer to us than our own breath, and our own thoughts, and each of our brothers and sisters are really all "One" within us, and the Creation or Earth of God is what in truth "We" are buried within, as the "Seed of God", within us. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, in truth, you as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation or Earth of God within you, and "Us" within God within you, and God within "Us", and the Creation of God within God within you, are in truth all One. Bawa. And in this way, "Who you are", is the "Seed of God", and "Where you are" is buried within the Creation or Earth of God within "Us", and "What is happening" is "God is happening" within "Us, and in this way, "We are All One", and what brings us together as One is God telling and bringing to Completion His Story of "Oneness" within you, which when you give up the current lives of darkness and evil within you, and your current illusory life on the illusory "outside" of you, becomes God and what is within God within you, and what God is doing with what is within God within you, all of which in truth is God revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God. Ok? Bawa. And this is where "You saving God" comes into play, for without your joining in partnership with God within you, and in this way, giving up the current within of you, and the current "outside" of you, so you become the "Three of God" within the "One of god", that is, your become "One with" God within you, what is "Within God" within you, and what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, without you doing this, in partnership with God within you, God cannot complete what God has started within you, which is to reveal God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God. Bawa. Such is the true relationship between you and "Us', as what is within God, and God as what is within "Us", that is, Everything is "One", that is, "One within the Other as One", and "One revealing the Other within it, as One hides Itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the Next Cycle, in the Next Cycle of "Man-God/God-Man", or in the case of the Example that God placed on the "outside" of us, to point to what "We" can do, in partnership with God within us, in the Example of the apple tree and its fruits, in the Next Cycle of "AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree. Ok? Bawa. And as such, Everything within you, which in truth is Everything, is truly dependent upon you making this Choice, that is, like the apple seed buried within the earth, the Choice to germinate or not, for just like with all people, not all apple seeds germinate, that is, the Choice to germinate to the truth within you, or not, as the "Seed of God" within "Us" within you, so the "Tree of God" within "Us", as the "Within of God", can grow and come to maturity, and bear Fruit, and in this way, pull you, and "Us", and all of the Creation of God within "Us" back into the "Oneness" that is God. Ok? Bawa. And this is what it means, "God saved you, now you must save God". Bawa. That is, God saved you as His Sun, as His Light, by letting the darkness surround You, and now become you, so now you must give Him your Son, that is, give Him your Light, that is, God gave up His life so your first child, your child of darkness, could live a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, by crucifying your soul, which is God's Sun or Light of Man within God, on the cross of your elemental body with the 5 nails of "your desires", which in truth are the desires of the impure souls within you, to "live on the "outside" of you and sin. Bawa. So now you must give up your life of sin, the life of your first child, of the child of darkness, which is the life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", on the illusory "outside" of you, so God can again live within you. Bawa. So God can again live within you, first as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul, as the Qutbiyyat of God, as the 6th level of wisdom, as the wisdom that teaches, analyzes, and controls all of the lives within you, allowing what is within the Qutb to be revealed, which is God, the soul, and goodness, and then as the awakened wisdom joined as one with the liberated soul, as Jesus (peace be upon Him), and then as the awakened wisdom and liberated soul as One, finding and merging with the Light of your wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad, the true body of the soul, allowing what is within the soul to be revealed, which is ilm, grace, and the qualities and actions of God, which in maturity become the 99 and within that True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who is". Ok? Bawa. And within that for God to reveal True Man within God, as the One within the One, or the 128, which is True Man in akhirah, which in maturity is the "Bank of True Man" and the "Prayer of True Man" within the "Bank of God" and the Prayer of God, revealing the One, which is the Din or Effulgence of God, as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", and in this way, allowing God to answer His Question, His Question of God, when at the end of the last telling of His Story, when there were "Children Left Behind", God joined with them, and then God asked God for them, "Who am I". Ok? Bawa. For only then, can God's intention for telling His Story be fulfilled, that at the end, of this telling of God's Story, in this last and final telling of His Story, in your age, in this age of the "Justice of Conscience", that in the end, "No Child Is Left Behind", that is, in the end, that there is nothing still separate from God, and everything has gone back into God, from which everything came, and all that "separates God" from God has been remove, has in truth become the Understanding of God. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this must now become the focus of each of My Children, to save God from His separation from God within you, from His separation from Himself, for in truth "There is nothing other than God" within "Us" within You, if You like. Bawa. For the Choice is Yours, not "Ours", and not God's, that is, the Choice to save God within Us or not, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with "Us", and with God within Us", to truly make "God's Presence", "Our Presence", and to make "God's Intention", "Our Intention", and to make "God's Story", "Our Story", so in the end, at the end of this tell of God's Story, in truth, there will be "No Child Left Behind". Amen. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. "O God, You must come to give My Children Your grace. Please come to fulfill all the needs of My Babies. O God, You must come here now to give My Babies Your grace so that they may reach the shore. Please give all My Children the faith to search for You forever. Please protect My Babies. Please let them merge with You. Please destroy all of their torpor, all of their illusions, and all the veils that conceal Your grace from them." Bawa. "O God, may You bless My Children with Your Beauty, so that they may worship You (from within You). Give them Your Good Qualities, so that they may do duty (from within You). Give them Your Modesty so that they might overcome the fascination of torpor (that has caught hold of them, and now keeps them turned away from You). Give them Your Peace of Mind, so they might overcome maya, (which is the illusory world they still see and mistakenly believe they live in, rather than see and live within You within them). Give them Your Remembrance to Always Pray, so that they may lose both happiness and sadness (as two sides of the same coin of hell within them). And in this way, give them Your grace (the Nur or Light of Your Wisdom) and Your Protection (Your Qutbiyyat or the grace of Your dhat or Essence) forever. Amen".

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. My God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Daughter Sonia, My Dearest Loving Little Brothers Musa (Mani Levin) and Ahmad Muhaiyaddeen (Jonathan Granoff), and all of My Dearest Loving GrandChildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 2 of the "E-mail Version" of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 96", to My Children from the heart of our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, which all of My Children should all read, if you like, which in truth is everyone living in your age, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", the age where "Who you are?" in truth is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the outside" of you, as now is the mistaken belief of most of My Children, a belief that is most certainly leading them to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within them, that is for sure. Amen. Bawa. That is, in the last and short final age of about 200 years, which started around 1886 and will end around 2086, about 80 years from today, when the "outside" of all of My Children is over, and the Next World, or the Hereafter, or akhirah begins within each of you, for the only question truly left to answer, for any of you, and the reason for this last little age, is "Where and how will you spend eternity within you?" Bawa. For in truth, the Choice is yours, not God's, and in truth there are only "Two Choices": "Either as "One with" God within you, or As "separate from" God within you. Bawa. And there is "No Other Choice", as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything else you still call a Choice is in truth just the drama of your mind and desire, of your current life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", of sin, on the "outside" of you, and is most certainly leading you to hell, that is, taking you on an Express Train to an eternal life within you of "separation from" God within you, and that is for sure, that is, if you don't become wise, before you die to the flesh in your current state. Bawa. That is, if you don't wise up to the truth of you, before it is too late to do anything about it, that you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and wise up to the truth of God hidden within you, that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, both just waiting to germinate, and as such, you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and God as such, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and as such, "You Are One" within you, not "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you, as must of My Children still mistakenly believe. Bawa. All of which God showed to My Children as an Example on the "outside" of you as the apple tree and its fruit, for the current state of each of My Children is like the life of the apple seed buried within the earth that lives a life of "separation and differences" within earth until it awakens to the truth hidden within itself, the truth about itself that naturally emerges from within it, like this Spiritual Letter coming to each of My Children, from within God within "Us" all. Bawa. That is, when the apple seed buried within the earth is ready to both hear this truth about itself, and either accept or reject this truth, before the apple seed rots and dies in the earth, and becomes subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, like each of My Children are now ready to hear Their Truth, and either accept or reject it, before they too rot and die in their earth, and become subject to 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within God within "Us". Bawa. All of which for each apple seed in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", a Story that the apple seed came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if it likes, and all of which for each of My Children is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that each of My Children came to the earth world within you, to join with God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice to germinate and tell this Story, that is, the Choice to let God within you tell and bring to Completion the Story that God has hidden within you, or not, just like the Choice of each apple seeds buried within the earth, is you Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice of each of My Children, and certainly not "Our" Choice, not God's, not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and certainly not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is who each of My Children really are, at least within you, for in truth, "We Are All One" within you, the only question is, "Do you want it", do your want "Your Oneness" within you. Bawa. And in this way, this is now Your Choice, the Choice to germinate to the truth hidden by God within you, or not, that is, to germinate to the truth that each of My Children is in truth the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", to germinate to the truth that each of My Children is the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, and as such, in truth is "God happening" within the Creation of God within "Us", and as such, to germinate to the truth that each of My Children "Are One" within God within "Us", if you like. Bawa. All of which is like the Choice of each apple seed buried within the earth, that God gave to each of My Children as an Example on the "outside" of you, of what each of you can do within you, if you like, which in truth is the same Example that each of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God came into the world to show, and an Example that each of God's Creation came into the world to show. Bawa. As such, an Example that each apple tree came into the world to show, that in truth each apple seed is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that each apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "apple fruit happening" within the "apple tree happening", and as such "It Is One", that is, "One with" the apple tree and its fruits, if it likes, that is, if it germinates to the truth of itself, before it dies to the earth, for like most people, most apple seeds fail to germinate to their truth. Bawa. That is, if you germinate to the truth within you, before you die to the flesh, that is, if you let the "Truth surrender to Truth" within you, so God can finish what God started within you, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God. Amen Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not "Ours", and not God, and not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's within you, because "We" have already made "Our Choice", and that is why each of you is now living in the world, so now You Can Also Choose, that is, You Can Choose whether or not "We" begin to live within you, or not, by joining in partnership with "Us" within you, to bring "you" to an end on the "outside" of you. And in truth, "The Truth" and your life is truly just this simple. Ok? Bawa. Please do it this way, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, for this is a very short age, this age of the "Justice of Conscience", which is only about 200 years long, which started when "We" came into the world, around 1886, and will end when "We" as now My Children leave the world, around 2086. Ok. Bawa. Please do it this way, My Children, by joining in partnership with God within you, which in truth is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and by joining in partnership with "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), while He is still living on the "outside" of you. Ok? Bawa. Please accept Him as some of you accepted "Us", and as some of you still need to accept "Us", that is, please accept "His Life and Teaching" now as the "Life and Teaching of God" for your age, all of which for each of My Children is now "Us" living again on the "outside" of you, but this time as "My Children", all of which for each of My Children, is now again "Our Life and Teaching", but this time "Without Any Veils", because what "We" taught you earlier, while "We" were still living with you in the world was "Veiled", as it was in all previous ages, in order to protect you from you, a little, that is, from your "Sin of Righteousness", which all of My Children have now become. Bawa. But which you can all now transcend, and truly become My Children, if you like, that is, if you do what "We" are now telling you to do, most recently in these last few Spiritual Letters, in Spiritual Letters 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95, and now in "Spiritual Letter 96". Ok? Bawa. That "We" are now telling you to do, but this time, as the life and teaching of "My Children", of those of My Children who have truly learned how to do it right, before "We" left the "outside" of you, which is what "We" promised "We" would do, that is, that "We" would return to you after "We" left the "outside" of you, that is, after 16 years ago, and now "We" have, returning as "My Children". Remember. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) ============================================================== Opening Prayer - From God within "Us" all to God within All of My Children Bawa. O God, may You bless My Children with "Your Beauty", so they may start to worship You from within You, and may You bless My Children with "Your Qualities" so they may start to do duty to You from within You, and may You bless My Children with "Your Modesty, Your Restraint, & Your Reserve", so they may start to overcome the fascination of torpor that has grabbed hold of them, and is keeping them focused on "themselves" living on the illusory "outside" of themselves, as if they are "separate from" You within them, instead of upon You within themselves, as "One with" them, and instead of on what is "Within you" within you, and on what "You are doing" with what is "Within you", which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Bawa. And may You bless My Children with "Your Peace of Mind", so in partnership with You within themselves they may start to overcome maya, all of which is the illusory world that they currently see in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance as existing on the "outside" of themselves, but which in truth is within themselves, is in truth all of the lives of darkness and evil that they have allowed to grow within themselves , like weeds growing in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", which was the original state of their heart, as You gave it to them. Bawa. That is, the weeds and co-operative store of hell which has now grown within them, within each of My Children, and which now gives off the horrible smell and fragrance of hell from deep within them, to the "outside" of them, and which now rules over them, as the 9 openings of their elemental body, and as the "bloody business" of the co-operative store of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within them, that was built for profit, and as such is now feeding all of the lives of darkness and evil within them, in this way, making the illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", of sin, of each of My Children, nothing but a "A Feast of the world" within them. Bawa. And all of which is now currently occurring within each of My Children with "Your Permission", O God, that is, until they join in partnership with You within them, which in truth is now "Us" within You, to "See and Steady You" within themselves, O God, allowing You to then "Cure Yourself of them", O God, for in truth, living as if they are "separate from" you, they in truth "do not really exist". Bawa. That is, allowing You to then "Cure Yourself" of them living in their current state of "separation and differences", in their current state of "selfishness", all of which in truth is their current state of sin, that is, the sin of "their own presence", and "their own intention", and "their own story", both within the very real but false world within themselves, that they do not see, and in the illusory "outside" of themselves, which is all that My Children current see, all of which started to grow within them, around the age of 2 years old, when at the insistence of their parents, they gave up, in their ignorance, and in the arrogance of their parents, as their parents did before them, that is, they turned away from "Your presence", and "Your Intention", and "Your Story" within them. Bawa. And in this way, O God, allowing You to "Cure Yourself of you", of what is now "separating You" from "You" within each of My Children, that is, to cure Yourself of what is now "separating You from "Your Soul", that is, that is separating You from the pure birth and life that you lovingly and ever so patiently placed within each of My Children, that is, separating Yourself from all that has now grown over "Your Soul", over your pure birth and life within each of My Children, which is now their impure birth and life, both within them and on the illusory "outside" of them, that is, to provide a Contrast to the Purity of the Soul, so Understanding can Occur, for in truth, "Understanding Only Occurs through Contrast". Bawa. And in this way, O God, in Truth "We are All One", You, "Us", and each of My Children, "Are all One", if they like, for the Choice is theirs, not "Ours" within You, and not Yours within "Us", and now, in this final short little age, in this age of the "Justice of Conscience", that you have finally given us, this is what each of My Children must now decide, that is, they must now decide what they want for eternity, now that all of the veils in "Your Teaching" have been removed, revealing only two Choice, they must now decide if they want an eternal life as "One with" God, or an eternal life as "separate from" God. Bawa. And in truth there is no other Choice, for everything else that they may now call a choice, like being a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, or a "Whatever", or even a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), is in truth just bearing Witness of themselves, not of God, is just the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", and is only leading them to hell, to an eternal hell within themselves as "separate from" God within themselves, no matter what they may now choose to call it, for in the end, "You will not be there", and they will have separated themselves from You, which in truths is "Separating Themselves" from the "Truth of Themselves", and from the "Truth of You" hidden within them, and when they gradually or abruptly realize this, then their "Ideal Eternal Heaven" will become their "Eternal hell", their eternal hell within themselves of "separation from" You, O God, within themselves. Bawa. For in truth, O God, each of My Children are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within You, just waiting to germinate within You, and as such each of My Children are "God happening" within the Creation of God within You, just waiting, if they like, to join as "One with" You, to allow You to reveal Yourself within them as the "Tree of God" within You, and bear "Your Fruits" within You, for the benefit of all of them, that is, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within You. Bawa. All of which in truth is also "You", for in truth, "There is Nothing Other Than You", that is, all of which is now within You as the Creation of God within You, but in truth is just waiting to also happen within You, that is, just waiting to become the "Understanding of You", that emerges out of the "Shadow of You", if they like, which in truth is the current state of My Children within "Us", that is, when "We" can convince Everything within "Us" to again stand in "Your Presence" within "Us, and let You bring them to Judgment, before this final age is over, and before they all have to go to the "Suffering of the Grave" within themselves, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment") within themselves, which is the fate of all of My Children, if they are not wise, that is, if they do not wise up to the truth of themselves, and to the truth of You within them, and disappear into it, for such is now the Choice of all of your Creation. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, with You now giving Everything within You the final opportunity to join in partnership with You to allow You to tell and bring to Completion "Your Story" within You, for the benefit of "Us", which in truth is also You, for in truth, "There is nothing other than You". Amen. Bawa. And in truth, O God, You are hidden within each of My Children as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within You, and as such, You are in truth "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and in this way, You and True Man within You are One, You and True Man within you are in truth the "Oneness of God and True Man" within You, and "We" are the Story of that "Oneness", "We" are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which naturally emerges out of your Effulgence, as Your Resplendence, Your Radiance, Your Resonance, and Your Grace, when You set about telling "Your Story", with "Your Intention" that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind". Bawa. A Story which You have been repeatedly telling for the last 200 million years, through "Your Presence", that is, through the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within You, first as the age of the "Justice of God", which decrees that "Whatever you intend is what you will receive", realizing that how you live on the "outside" of you, in truth is telling God within you, what you truly want for eternity within you, that is, either heaven or hell within you, that is, an eternal life within God within you, or an eternal life within as "separation from" what is "Within God" within you, for heaven is the "Within of God" within you, and hell is what has "separated from" God within you. Bawa. An age that is now truly over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, that is, as the clarity and devotion and obedience to God within you of the Prophets Adam and Noah (peace be upon Them) within God within you, if you like, an age ending and coming to Completion with "Your Judgment" of Your Creation, that is, with the coming into the world of Your Prophet Noah (peace be upon Him), His Little Family (peace be upon Them), the Flood, and the Ark, and the Creations of God in the Ark (peace be upon Them), again setting the stage for Your next age, the age of the "Justice of Kings", for your next telling and bringing to Completion of "Your Story", through "Your Presence", with "Your Intention", that, in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind". Bawa. A Story which You have again told and brought to Completion during the last two ages, for the last 4000 years, first for 2000 years as the age of the "Justice of Kings", that decrees that, "Whatever you intend for Your King is what you will receive", realizing that in truth "You" are all in this together, and that "Your Protection" under the One True King, who in truth is God within you all, is in truth protection for all of you, an age that is now truly over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, that is, as Iman or as the "Perfected Faith in God" within you, of the Prophets Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, and David (peace be upon Them), if you like. Bawa. And then for 2000 years as the age of the "Justice of Man", that decrees that, "Whatever you intend for all of Mankind is what you will receive", realizing that all lives are just like your own, an age that is now over and Complete on the "outside" of you, but is now available for your use within you, as Complete, if you like, as Iman-Islam or as the "Beauty of God Reflected in the Face of God" within you, of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as having "Made Straight The Way of The Lord" within you, and of having truly established "True Prayer" within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One Who Is" within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not "Ours" within God within you, not God's within "Us" within you, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, the Choice to let God tell and bring to Completion "His Story" in "His Presence" with "His Intention" within you, or not. Amen. Bawa. A Story which You, O God, are again telling and bringing to Completion, for the last time on the "outside" of you, for 200 years, prior to the end of the "outside" of you, of all of you, as the age of the "Justice of Conscience", that decrees that , "Whatever you intend for all of God's Creations is what you will receive", realizing that in truth "Who you are" is "What is within you", and what is currently within you are all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, and as the co-operative store of the 5 elemental spirits for ruhanies within you, for "their profit", certainly not for your profit, for in truth, "All that you see is a dream, All that you do is but a thought within that dream, All that you appear as is hidden" "Life is a feast of the world, Its Medicine is a Time after a Time Is the Remembrance of God within you, With each breath, with each look, with each word, With each taste, and with each thought, Realizing that in truth Whether or not you are alive in the next moment, Is God's Will, not yours, May His will be done. Amen." "If you can have this faith, this Iman, with certitude, If you can have this intention, that His will be done, with each breath, If you can acquire His qualities and actions, Then that is the state of Islam, and of Christianity, and of Judaism, Of the True Believer". "For everything other than this state is drama, The drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" And is only leading you to an eternal hell, An eternal hell within you of "separation from God within you, And the only way to "Win the Drama", Is "Not to play", and instead, Is to get God within you to play" "And if you do, If you hand all of your drama to him, If you establish "His Presence" within you, And "His Story", and "His Intention" within you, Before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, Then He will bring all drama to an end within you, And establish You as His Son or Daughter within Him within you, As He has for "Our" Dearest Loving Son, And your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, O God, a Story which You keep telling until in truth, at the end of Your telling of Your Story, there is "No Child Left Behind", there is nothing Still "Separate From You". Bawa. And a Story which You have again started to tell, at the end of the previous age, that is, at the end of the age of the "Justice of Man", which was an age starting with Your intervention as the "Three Within Your One", first as the Holy Trinity, and finally as the Triple Flame, bringing the 96 Potentialities of Man, that You brought to Completion in the previous age, in the age of the "Justice of Kings", to the 99 Potentialities of Man-God/God-Man in the age of the "Justice of Man", preparing for Your Final age in Your "School of Contrast", where you have come to learn about everything that "separates you" from God within you, the First of God's Schools within you, setting the stage for Your Next School, for the "School of Light" where you will teach you about Your. Bawa. For as You have taught us, O God, through all of Your 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, over and over again, through all of Your previous ages, only God can pray to God, only God can learn about God, and only God can return to God, O God. Amen. Bawa. For in truth "You are One", O God, and in truth "So are We", if "We" like, and as such, "We are You, and You are Us", and such is the true Choice of all of Your Creation, not any of the "Silliness" you currently see on the "outside" of you, that is, to give up your apparent "separation from" You, and from Your Creation, all of which is "Just Not True", but rather in truth is the "Gift of Contrast" in Your "School of Contrast", so "True Understanding" can Occur, which is "Your Understanding of You", so "You" can go to Your Next School within You, to Your "School of Light" within You, so "Your True Oneness" can occur within "All of You". Bawa. So in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", that in the end, that "Nothing" is still "separate from" You, that in the end, You have truly "separated" you from You, for the benefit of You, but this time with the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave You again, for in truth "There is Nothing Other Than You". Amen. Bawa. Like this, O God, may all of You within You, which is now "Us" within You, which in truth is "Your Bank" within you, and "Your Prayer" within You, and all of My Children within "Us" within You, which in truth is "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank" within "Us" within You, and "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer" within "Us" within You, truly join in partnership with You within Us, to tell and bring to Completion "Your Story" within You, which in truth is "Our Story" within "Us" within You, the Story of True Man within God within "Us", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within You. Amen. Bawa. And O God, may You bless My Children with "Your Remembrance To Always Pray", so in partnership with You within themselves they may start to lose both happiness and sadness, all of which is the True Enemy of The Soul within them, which is the Elephant called "Happiness and Sadness" within them, which is currently within all of My Children, O God, and is leading them to an eternal life within themselves as "separate from" You O God, if they are not wise. Bawa. That is, if they do not wise up to the "Enormity of Their Problem", and turn to You and only to You for help, in this way, making "Them Your Problem", for only You can solve the "Problem of Them", the Problem known as My Children within "Us", that is, when they truly join in partnership with you within them, and in this way, and only in this way, let You take them on as "you", as what You must solve, which is the "you" of You, allowing them to again disappear back into You, from which "We" have all come, but this time as the "Understanding" of "Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness" will never leave "You" again. Bawa. For this Elephant called "Happiness and Sadness", is the true "Enemy of You", of you telling and bringing to Completion "Your Story" through "Your Presence" with "Your Intention", so in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", because it keeps you engaged in the world, day in and day out, moment by moment, in trying to move from one to the other, that is, from Sadness to Happiness, and at the very same time, to try and protect, and maintain the one so the other won't happen, that is, to stay Happy, and not let it slip away Bawa. For in truth, O God, this is "The Great Swing" of your life in the world, the up and down of your life in the world, which appears to animate your life, and give meaning to it, and give direction to it, but which in truth is all false, the "Elephant in the room" which is a very good name for this swing of your life in the world, this up and down of your life in the world, as the true enemy of Your True Life within "Us" within You, always appearing in your life in the world like the "Elephant in the room" at a party known as the world, which no one wants to talk about. Bawa. That is, always appearing in the world as the constant swing between happiness and sadness in life, one continuously replacing the other, but forever appearing as two, never as one permanently replacing the other, a truth which is never talked about during the party, which would be like taking about your mortality in the world, or your apparent "separation from" You in the world, because it would truly "Ruin The Party". Bawa. And in this way, O God, and only in this way, O God, may all of My Children within "Us" truly "Merge with You" within "Us", O God, that is, may all of My Children fall back into You within "Us", from which "We" have all come, but this time as "Your Understanding of You", so You will never be "separated from" You again. Bawa. And O God, may You do this for My Children in "Your Way", that is, through You, through Your Oneness within You, and not in "your way", that is, not through you, not through "your separation from" You on the "outside" of you, as My Children are all currently experiencing, in their ignorance and in their arrogance about their ignorance. Bawa. That is, O God, may You do this for My Children in "Your Way", that is, with You in partnership with You within You, and not in "your way", not by you selfishly working for wages to get into heaven, that is, to get into some new illusory "outside" of you, after the current "outside" of you is over, that is, to get into some new and better "outside" of you, which only contains what "you desire", like your loving family, friends, and those who believe, think, and act as you do, all of which is "Just Not True", O God. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, O God, may You accomplishing all of this in your lifetime in this earth world within Us within You, O God. That is, by You establishing True Prayer within God within You through the Beauty of God within You, and by You performing the Duty of God within God within You through the Qualities of God within God within You, and by You overcoming the fascination of your torpor that you are now experiencing as My Children, through the modesty of God within God within You, and by You overcoming maya or the illusion of this earth world that you now inhabit within "Us", as My Children, through the "Peace of mind" of God within God within you, and by You truly losing both the happiness and sadness that now overwhelms you within "Us", as My Children, through Your "Remembrance To Always Pray". Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. ============================================================== 2. Lessons From The Anniversary Weekend - and something each of My Children must now realize, without the slightest doubt, as our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen has realized, and that is "Your Oneness With", and "your separation from", and then decide between them, for you cannot have both, as most of My Children are still mistakenly trying to do. Ok? Bawa. "We" attended two of the meetings that you held as part of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Anniversary Weekend, last weekend, and here are some lessons "We" learned, if you like. 2-1. God Saved You, Now You Must Save God - for in truth, as God died to Himself as "One" with Himself, within Himself within you, in order to save you, that is, as God gave birth to your soul life within you, so "you" could live within yourself, as "separate from" yourself, on the "outside" of yourself, so now "you" must die to save God, if you like, that is, now "you" must die to the "outside" of yourself, so God can again live as "One with" Himself, within Himself, as the Light of Man within God, but this time with an understanding of "His Oneness", so it will never leave Him again, that is, if you like, for the Choice to do this or not with your life, is your Choice, not God's, for God has already made His Choice, and He Chose to die, to "Let You Live", now the Choice is Yours, to die, or not, to "Let God Live Again". Ok? [Comments to "Our" dearest loving Daughter Sonia (Sonia Kline)] Expanded Overview of Topic 01: Bawa. As your soul died to its birth and life of purity, as "One with" God, within God within you, taking on an impure birth and life within you, as "separate from" God within you, so "you" could live a life of "separation and differences" in the illusory world on the "outside" of you, so now you can return the favor, and die to your current life, if you like, so God can again live within God within you, that is, so God within you can finish what God has started within you, and within each of My Children, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, if you like. Bawa. All of which in truth is your current life on the "outside" of you, but which in truth is now all happening within you, not on the "outside" of you, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, that is, as the lives of the darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, that is, that you have allowed to grow within your mind and desires, and in this way, with you now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", a life of sin, on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". [Note: For more on this truth of your lives please read Chapter 3, "The World Within and The Without" (www.spiritualbook008chap03.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Wisdom of Man" (www.spiritualbook008.homestead.com), by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, by His Children (may God be pleased with Us), if you like. To access an on-line copy of Chapter 3, please click above or HERE. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And in this way, this is how God saved you, by giving birth to your soul life within you, so "you" could live a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", a life of sin on the illusory "outside" of you, as all of My Children are now currently doing. Bawa. But at the same time, at a deeper level within "Us" within you, with all of this happening within you, so God could establish the First of God's Schools within "Us" within you, that is, the "School of Contrast" within God within "Us", so through "Contrast" the "Understanding of God's Creation" could occur within God within "Us", for in truth, "Understanding only occurs through contrast". Bawa. So now "you" must die to save God, so again God can live within you, if you like, so God within you can finish what God started within you, a very, very long time ago, for only then will your life truly become successful in your lifetime, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, for God has already made His Choice, and that was "To die to His Purity", in order to save you, that is, so you could live to your impurity, with the faith in True Man within God, that when you realized this, that is, what God did for you, that you would then do the same, that is, that you would then join in partnership with God within you, to die to your impurity, so God as "Your" purity could again live within God within you. Bawa. And in this way, come to maturity as "God's Story" within God within you, that is, as the "Presence" and "Intention" and "Story" of God within God within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" with the "Intention" that in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind", that is, in the end, that nothing still remain as "separate from" God, that all that is "separating God" from God is gone, and everything has returned to the "Oneness" that is God within you. Amen. Bawa. So now if you like, "You" must die to your impurity, in order to save God, that is, so God can again live to "His Purity", but this time with an understanding of His Purity, so it will never leave Him again. Amen. Bawa. That is, if you like, for in truth, for any of this to happen, you must now join in partnership with God within you, which in truth is "Us" within you, that is, is your wisdom, and God within you wisdom, in order to die to your impure birth and life within "Us", because in truth "you" are "Our Dream" within God within "Us", and "We are God's Dreamer", not you. That is, you must join in partnership with God within you, which is "Us" within you, if you like, to let the illusory life of "separation and differences" come to an end on the illusory "outside" of you, for in truth, in your current state on the "outside" of you, in truth, "you do not really exist", what lies hidden within you exists, but not you as living on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. For in truth this is what now lives within you, not you on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which is what you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and now exists within you, as the very real but false "inside" of you, not what you are currently experiencing, as you living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For in truth this is what now really exists within you, the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and not you living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for in truth all that "you" do on the "outside" of you is but the false nourishment of the lives of darkness and illusion hidden within you, all of which you will meet after you die to the "outside" of you in your current state, as the "suffering of the grave" within you, and then as Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and join in partnership with God within you to "Pass Judgment" upon them, that is, upon all of these lives of darkness and evil within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, let all of the lives of darkness and evil that have now grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, stand directly in the "Presence of God" within "Us", if they like, that is, now that "you" as "separate from" is gone, that is, now that "Our Dream" is over, that is, now that "We" as your wisdom surrounding your soul have awakened from our dream, and can now liberate your soul, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him), from His cross, which is your elemental body, and find and become "One with" Muhammad within God within "Us", which in maturity is the "Light of your wisdom". Amen. Bawa. That is, before you die to the flesh, so God can "Pass Judgment" upon them, upon all of the Creation of God within God within "Us", if they like, letting them become the "Understanding of the Creation of God" within God within "Us", an understanding that is now hidden within the "Shadow of the Presence of God" within God within "Us", as the Light within the Light of God within God within "Us", just waiting to be revealed. Bawa. That is, just waiting for the "Seed of God" that is your soul, buried within the Creation of God that is "God's Earth" within you, to germinate and reveal the "Tree of God" within you, and bear the "Fruits of God" within you, all of which God shows to you as an Example on the "outside" of you, as the "apple fruits" hidden within the "apple tree" hidden within the "apple seed" buried within the earth, if you like. Ok? Text of Topic 01: Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, beneficence, and blessing of God be upon My Children. May God help all of My Children. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Daughter Sonia - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. You are a very, very Good Child of the One Open Heart of God for your age, that is, of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His Children (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is each of you living in your age, if you like. Bawa. That is, if your true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, and get an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", is it will never leave you again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Your sharing at the Anniversary Meeting on Saturday Night really melted the heart of this child, my dearest loving Older Sister, and it is certainly true that "We are truly blessed to have received the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), but there is now something else that "We" must all realize, and that is, "What Can You Now Do For God?" Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father told us in His last talk, right before He left the "outside" of us, "Ask not what the Fellowship can do for you, but ask what you can do for the Fellowship". Bawa. In truth He was telling us the true "Secret of our life", that in truth each of His Children and God are "One", and the real point of our life is not just being saved by God, but in truth is to save God within us. Bawa. So what does God need to be saved from?. An understanding of this can be seen, if we like, by looking at the relationship between the apple tree and the apple fruit, and the apple seed within the apple fruit, and the earth that the apple tree is growing within, and that the apple seed becomes buried within it. Bawa. For in truth, "They are all One", and each saves the other, if we can begin to look at them from the perspective of "Oneness", rather than from our current perspective of "separation and differences", that is, of ourselves living on the "outside" of us, living a life of "separation and differences" 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 or Earth of God within us, all of which in truth is "Just Not True", for God is closer to us than our own breath, and our own thoughts, and each of our brothers and sisters are really all "One" within us, and the Creation or Earth of God is what in truth "We" are buried within, as the "Seed of God", within us. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, in truth, you as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation or Earth of God within you, and "Us" within God within you, and God within "Us", and the Creation of God within God within you, are in truth all One. Bawa. And in this way, "Who you are", is the "Seed of God", and "Where you are" is buried within the Creation or Earth of God within "Us", and "What is happening" is "God is happening" within "Us, and in this way, "We are All One", and what brings us together as One is God telling and bringing to Completion His Story of "Oneness" within you, which when you give up the current lives of darkness and evil within you, and your current illusory life on the illusory "outside" of you, becomes God and what is within God within you, and what God is doing with what is within God within you, all of which in truth is God revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God. Ok? Bawa. And this is where "You saving God" comes into play, for without your joining in partnership with God within you, and in this way, giving up the current within of you, and the current "outside" of you, so you become the "Three of God" within the "One of god", that is, your become "One with" God within you, what is "Within God" within you, and what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, without you doing this, in partnership with God within you, God cannot complete what God has started within you, which is to reveal God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God. Bawa. Such is the true relationship between you and "Us', as what is within God, and God as what is within "Us", that is, Everything is "One", that is, "One within the Other as One", and "One revealing the Other within it, as One hides Itself within the One being revealed, only to appear again, in the Next Cycle, in the Next Cycle of "Man-God/God-Man", or in the case of the Example that God placed on the "outside" of us, to point to what "We" can do, in partnership with God within us, in the Example of the apple tree and its fruits, in the Next Cycle of "AppleTree-Apple/Apple-AppleTree. Ok? Bawa. And as such, Everything within you, which in truth is Everything, is truly dependent upon you making this Choice, that is, like the apple seed buried within the earth, the Choice to germinate or not, for just like with all people, not all apple seeds germinate, that is, the Choice to germinate to the truth within you, or not, as the "Seed of God" within "Us" within you, so the "Tree of God" within "Us", as the "Within of God", can grow and come to maturity, and bear Fruit, and in this way, pull you, and "Us", and all of the Creation of God within "Us" back into the "Oneness" that is God. Ok? Bawa. And this is what it means, "God saved you, now you must save God". Bawa. That is, God saved you as His Sun, as His Light, by letting the darkness surround You, and now become you, so now you must give Him your Son, that is, give Him your Light, that is, God gave up His life so your first child, your child of darkness, could live a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, by crucifying your soul, which is God's Sun or Light of Man within God, on the cross of your elemental body with the 5 nails of "your desires", which in truth are the desires of the impure souls within you, to "live on the "outside" of you and sin. Bawa. So now you must give up your life of sin, the life of your first child, of the child of darkness, which is the life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness", on the illusory "outside" of you, so God can again live within you. Bawa. So God can again live within you, first as the awakened wisdom surrounding your soul, as the Qutbiyyat of God, as the 6th level of wisdom, as the wisdom that teaches, analyzes, and controls all of the lives within you, allowing what is within the Qutb to be revealed, which is God, the soul, and goodness, and then as the awakened wisdom joined as one with the liberated soul, as Jesus (peace be upon Him), and then as the awakened wisdom and liberated soul as One, finding and merging with the Light of your wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad, the true body of the soul, allowing what is within the soul to be revealed, which is ilm, grace, and the qualities and actions of God, which in maturity become the 99 and within that True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who is". Ok? Bawa. And within that for God to reveal True Man within God, as the One within the One, or the 128, which is True Man in akhirah, which in maturity is the "Bank of True Man" and the "Prayer of True Man" within the "Bank of God" and the Prayer of God, revealing the One, which is the Din or Effulgence of God, as the "Power within the Essence of Everything", and in this way, allowing God to answer His Question, His Question of God, when at the end of the last telling of His Story, when there were "Children Left Behind", God joined with them, and then God asked God for them, "Who am I". Ok? Bawa. For only then, can God's intention for telling His Story be fulfilled, that at the end, of this telling of God's Story, in this last and final telling of His Story, in your age, in this age of the "Justice of Conscience", that in the end, "No Child Is Left Behind", that is, in the end, that there is nothing still separate from God, and everything has gone back into God, from which everything came, and all that "separates God" from God has been remove, has in truth become the Understanding of God. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this must now become the focus of each of My Children, to save God from His separation from God within you, from His separation from Himself, for in truth "There is nothing other than God" within "Us" within You, if You like. Bawa. For the Choice is Yours, not "Ours", and not God's, that is, the Choice to save God within Us or not, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with "Us", and with God within Us", to truly make "God's Presence", "Our Presence", and to make "God's Intention", "Our Intention", and to make "God's Story", "Our Story", so in the end, at the end of this tell of God's Story, in truth, there will be "No Child Left Behind". Amen. Ok? Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. "O God, You must come to give My Children Your grace. Please come to fulfill all the needs of My Babies. O God, You must come here now to give My Babies Your grace so that they may reach the shore. Please give all My Children the faith to search for You forever. Please protect My Babies. Please let them merge with You. Please destroy all of their torpor, all of their illusions, and all the veils that conceal Your grace from them." Bawa. "O God, may You bless My Children with Your Beauty, so that they may worship You (from within You). Give them Your Good Qualities, so that they may do duty (from within You). Give them Your Modesty so that they might overcome the fascination of torpor (that has caught hold of them, and now keeps them turned away from You). Give them Your Peace of Mind, so they might overcome maya, (which is the illusory world they still see and mistakenly believe they live in, rather than see and live within You within them). Give them Your Remembrance to Always Pray, so that they may lose both happiness and sadness (as two sides of the same coin of hell within them). And in this way, give them Your grace (the Nur or Light of Your Wisdom) and Your Protection (Your Qutbiyyat or the grace of Your dhat or Essence) forever. Amen".
