MMSulaiman11:

Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum, my dear, sweet, loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. Meechum Anbu. May the Peace and Love and Compassion and Trustworthiness and Steadfastness and Strength and Knowledge and Faith and Determination and Clarity of Allah be with you my dear brother and with all of your loving family as well.

Bawa.  Are you well.

Bawa.  Is this a good time for both of us to gather at the feet of our beloved Father
Shaikh Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) to see what He is trying to tell us at this moment?

Muhaiyaddeen786:

Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.

Bawa. Wa 'alaykum al-salam, my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman.

Bawa.  Yes this is a good time to do this, for in truth it is always a good time to do this, as long as "We don't do it", as long as "God is Present:" within us when it is being done, but it is never a good time for "Us to do this", in our current state, that is, if "We are present" on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us.  All of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  So this is the work, My dearest loving brother, learning "How not to be there", so "God can be there", that is, by leaning how to establish and keep "God Present" within us, for then, and only then, will "We not be present" on the "outside" of us, for this is God's Promise, this is God's Guarantee for our age, for,

     "If God is there you are not there, and if you are there then God is not there". 

Bawa.  Ok?

MMSulaiman11:

Bawa. I suppose this last sentence should be ... to see what He is telling us at this moment?

Muhaiyaddeen786:

Bawa.  My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, it is not really this way, that is, "to see what He is telling us at this moment", because God has already taught us everything.

Bawa.  For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, the following, in this Spiritual Sharing,

1.  The Nature of "Our True Body" - is the earth world or dunya within us, which is the first of God's Schools within us, the "School of Contrast" within us, which are the 51 letters that God placed within us, all of which is Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, all of which Muhammad will elucidate within us, on His 20 year Journey of Mi'raj within us, appearing as the 7th level of wisdom within us, where He transforms the 70,000 veils of "separation and differences" within our mind, within the "mim" within us, into 70,000 gifts of understanding within us, allowing Him to stand on the mountain of our mind within us and speak directly to God within us, through this final veil of "Our True Body" within us, and in this way, establish "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, that is, after we allow Him to move from being the "Foremost Substance" of God within us, which is the Grace of God within us, as the "milk of wisdom" within us, which is the "Presence of God" within us, that is, after we allow the "Silent One to appear as grace" within us, through our Iman or pure faith in God within us, which is the Muhaiyaddeen of God within us, in this way, allowing Muhammad to become the 6 "Faces of Clarity" within us, the 6 wisdoms within us, that is, with Him appearing as the 6th level of wisdom within us, which is the station of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, who teaches, analyzes, and controls everything within us, if we like, for the Choice to do this, or not, is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, to use what God has lovingly and patiently placed within us, in this way, or not, that is, in order for God to finish what He has started within us, a very, very long time ago, even before we came to this earth world within us, which is to tell and Complete the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or not, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's

His Holiness Teaches Us:

"The body is the one veil that separates a True Man from God.  All the other veils must to be torn way".

"All the forces of the mind, all the miracles must be cast off so they can no longer deceive us and turn us into snakes, scorpions, dogs, foxes, demons, and crazy men."

"We must tear them out by the roots and throw them away, only then can we establish a direct connection with God."

"The heart is the mirror that can help us form the connection of devotion to God.  We must see ourselves in that mirror and speak to God.  Amen."

- End of Quotation from the Life and Teaching of His Holiness -
Our Dearest Loving Father,
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)

2.  How Do We Have To Learn? - we have to learn through the "Presence of God" within us, not through "our presence" on the "outside" of us, because in truth "we" are not the "student", we are "the school", and we have to invite the "true student" to come and study in "God's School" within us, so we can experience His learning within us, as we have to pray through the "Presence of God" within us, not through "our presence" on the "outside" of us, because in truth we are not the "one who prays", we are "the prayer mat", and we have to invite God to come and pray on "God's Prayer Mat" within us, so we can experience His prayer within us, as we have to grow the Qualities and Actions of God through the "Presence of God" within us, not through "our presence" on the "outside" of us, because in truth we are not the Farmer who grows the Crops of God within us, we are the earth, and we have to invite the "Farmer of God's Crops" to come into the wild jungle and forest that has grown upon us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, and chase way all of the wild animals within us, and cut down all of the things of darkness and evil that have grown within us, and plow us under with the "Enlightening Words of the Qutbiyyat of God", and plant the "Seed of Allahu", and water it with the grace of "La illaha Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasul Allah", and if we do, then when the Crop of God
comes to maturity within us, we will no longer be the earth, "We" will be God's Crop,  if we like, for the Choice to do this with our life, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to grow the
Rahmat or Mubarakat of Allah within us, the wealth of the Three Worlds within us, or not, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's.  Amen.

His Holiness Teaches Us:

"God has already taught you everything, it is all written within you.  Before you came here God told you,

"I am sending you to a school called the world.  It is a temporary place.  You have to go there for a little while in order to learn about My History, Your Own History, and the History of many others."

"You need to know Who Created everything.  Who is responsible for everything.  Who is the Guardian in Charge of You.  And what is Your  true Property."

"Once you have learned and understood all these Histories You will realize Who you are (that you are "God's Bank", and God is "Your Bank"), and Who is the One you need.  The True One.  The One Who will live forever.  Amen."

- End of Quotation from the Life and Teaching of His Holiness -
Our Dearest Loving Father,
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him)

Bawa.  So my dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, God is not waiting to "tell us anything" at any particular moment, for God has "already taught us everything", it is all "written within us", as the First of God's Schools within us, as the "School of Contrast" within us, where everything is learned within us, where we learn about everything that "separates us from each other", and that "separates us from" God, which in truth is the same thing, which in truth is the illusion of  "our presence" on the "outside" of us, with us living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  Because God is closer to us than our own breath, closer to us than our own thoughts, and our dearest loving brothers and sisters are all "One with" us within us, as "Rays of Light", that were born within us in the world of souls, in this world, and in the next world, not individual people living as "separate from" us on the "outside" of us, all of which is just the tick of the mind, of the monkey mind, and the dog of desire that we have allowed to grow within us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, all of which now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental illusory body on the "outside" of us, with "God's Permission", until we "See God and Steady God" within us, if we like, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not True", allowing God to "Cure Himself of us", by closing down the worlds of hell, of jinns, and of fairies within us, by re-opening the world of souls within us, and by opening the kingdom of God within us.   Amen.

Bawa.  So it is "we" who must initiate the learning, by realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, that in truth we are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and as such in truth we are "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and in truth, God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and as such, in truth God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, as in truth the apple seed buried within the earth is the "Apple tree happening" within the earth, and in truth the apple tree is the "Apple Fruit happening" within the "Apple tree happening" within the apple seed buried within the earth.

Bawa.  And in this way, by "us" allowing the "Truth to surrender to the Truth" within us, that is, by "us" allowing all of this to happen within us, this "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, with "us" as the Witness, as God's Witness, letting our consciousness transcend our current illusory form of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us and journey from the Everything to the Essence of Everything, and from the Essence of Everything to the Power within the Essence of Everything, and from the Power within the Essence of Everything to the Nothing, that is, to the No-thing, which is the true Nature of God within us, but this time returning to the Nothing as the understanding of both the Everything and the Nothing, so it will never leave us again, and sharing this understanding with God within us for eternity.

Bawa.  And doing all of this by "us" stepping back in everything that appears before "us" on the "outside" of us, allowing God within us to "step forward" in everything within us, and in this way, by establishing the "Presence of God" within us, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the "outside" of us, by calling out the "Name of God" within us, which is the Name of the wisdom surrounding our soul, and of God within our wisdom, which is the Name of the "Gift of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, which is the Name of the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, which is the Name of the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age.

Bawa.  And for our age, in truth that is the name of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, that is the name of His Children (may God be pleased with Us), so before we "Say or do or write" anything, say the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), or of "His Children", that is, the name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), as this child has learned to do.  Amen.

Bawa.  So the wisdom surrounding our soul can liberate our soul from the cross of our elemental illusory body on the "outside" of us, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin, that is, that is, of "our desire" to continue living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". 

MMSulaiman11:

Bawa. This child is going to have to go to bed soon. So I will summarize my experience with my homework assignment for today. This was to be aware of God through the day. To think of questions that I would ask of God if I met Him that would help all of us become clearer about things that are standing between us and Him. Things that are convincing us we are separate from Him and keeping us from becoming one with Him.

BawaSome questions that came to this child were:

1.  Why are we attracted to the material things of the world.
2.  And why do we desire them?
3.  Why do we look for happiness and contentment in things or people that are not
     God when on some level we understand that none of these are lasting or will bring
     any kind of long term peace or happiness?
4. Why do we try to please other people, especially family members, instead of only
     trying to serve the Shaikh?
5. Must we learn most things the hard way through difficulty and suffering (of the mind
     and the body) or can this learning take place another way if the state of the child
     is suitable?
6.  How can the dialogue with our Shaikh become more constant and clearly
     understood?
7.  How can we ask what must be done without attachment or desire for one outcome
     over the others?

Bawa.  And one other question that came up during the discourse at the Fellowship meeting tonight. The discourse was a very beautiful one from October 1984 where Bawa spoke to the little children about how they could talk clearly and directly to God in a way that adults cannot. About how adults had to teach the children well by word and by example. In the discourse Bawa mentioned that there are nine kinds of unity.

Bawa.  He mentioned that there are eight prophets and Allah and together they make up the nine kinds of unity.

8.  This child would like to know more about these nine kinds of unity.

Bawa.  That's it for now. It was a very interesting and lovely day.  I did discuss a little of the things we spoke of last night but not too much was said about these things.

MMSulaiman11:

Bawa.  Also this child received some clarity on the issue of:

1.  Why Bawa tells us that we have to do things like "remove the bad qualities and evil
     actions and illusion from us and clean ourselves".
2.  And (why) He also tells us that we should "never have the thought that there is
     something that we have to do".
3.  Also (why He tells us) that "everything in the entire creation is the responsibility of
     God and that everything that is done is done by Him".

Bawa.  More on that later if it is appropriate to continue with this issue.

MMSulaiman11:

Bawa.  Excuse me, I fell asleep for a while there while I was waiting. Can we please continue this sharing later? This child must go to bed now. My love you my dear brother. Please give my love to your beautiful wife, Crisi and to the rest of your loving family. Meechum, meechum anbu. Ameen.

Muhaiyaddeen786:

Bawa.  Ok, that is a wonderful list of questions for us to keep before us as we do what Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us to do over 2000 years ago, and that now in our age that our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, that His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us to do, right now, in this Spiritual Letter, and that is,

     "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there."

Bawa.  For it is only in "our" coming together in this way, in the Name of God for our age, that allows "God to be Present" within us, as our true Teacher, as our true Friend, as our true Lover, as our true Brother and Sister, as our true Child, and as our true Mother and Father, and as discussed earlier, as the "True Student" within us, as the "One who Truly Prays to God" within us, as the "True Farmer of God's Crops" within us, so the beautiful "School of Contrast" within us, so the beautiful "Prayer Mat of God" within us, and so the beautiful "Farm of God" within us, can be awakened and put to real use within us.

Bawa.  For Example, in order to start to teach us "Everything that we need to know", for our life to become truly successful in our lifetime, which is something that only God within us can do, not "us" in our current state of "separation and differences" trying to live on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True", and learn about God within us, who is "One with" everyone and everything, both within us and on the "outside" of us.

Bawa.  For in truth all of this "outside" work, as if we are "separate from", is not how our learning takes place, but rather, by us sitting on God's lap within us, as "One with" God within us, as our wisdom teaches us "what we do not know", not by us coming up with a set of questions, though this is a good first step, and not by us wondering what God wants to tell or teach us, though this also is a good first step.

Bawa.  For in truth, true learning will only take place within us when we "Forget ourselves", when we "Speak and lose ourselves", when "Talking alone (that is, in God's Presence) with intensity, we say, "He is One", so "Our soul can elevate itself", as we are instructed to do on page 6, in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom
Forward.homestead.com).of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com).

Bawa.  That is, when we join in partnership with God within us, to "Let God Speak" from within us, as this child has learned to do, that is, when we start to let "God speak God's Words" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, as this child has learned to do, that is, from within us, not from the "outside" of us.

Bawa.  And in this way, when we have learned to shift our focus off of "our learning" and begin to let God within us use "us", and our life, and all of what God has lovingly and patiently placed within us, for the learning of everyone else, both within us and on the illusory "outside" of us, by "us" coming together in "His Name", so "He can be there", and teach us, teach all of us, "What we do not know", in order to make our life truly successful in our lifetime.

Bawa.  That is, when we have truly become "God's School" for all of the Creation of God within us, which in truth is "us", and all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters, as well as the Creation of God within us, that we currently only see in our ignorance, and in our arrogance, as existing on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" us, but which in truth are all within us, as "One with" us, that is, as our very own life.

Bawa.  For in truth, "Who we are" is what is within us, not what is on the "outside" of us.  And "Where we are" is sitting on the lap of God within us, not living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, because in truth that is our birthright, that is our true heritage, that is the true destiny of our soul. 

Bawa.  And in truth, "What is happening" in our life is our wisdom is always trying to teach us, and through the "Us" within us, that is, through our light life within us, which is our awakened wisdom join as "One with" our liberated souls, teach everything within us, "What we do not know".

Bawa.  For our life in truth is but the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) sitting in His Cave within each of us, just waiting to come out of His Cave within us, having awakened to the "Word of God" within us, for the Children of God in our age, if we will only let Him, that is, after the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) within us, who is just like "Humpty Dumpty" within us, who "Had a great fall" within us, and is also just waiting within us to be "Put back together within us", by our wisdom within us.

Bawa.  In this way, returning the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, which is our current state, back into the state of the 5 Angels (peace be upon Him) within us, back into the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfil, Izra'il, and Ruki'il (peace be upon Them) within us, that is, back into the first 5 levels of wisdom within us, that in maturity gives rise to the 6th level of wisdom within us, and in this way, re-establishing the Kalimah or remembrance of God within us, that we lost within us, when,

     "Man appearing on this earth (world within him), Forget God (within him, that is,
     he Forgets the "Presence of God" within him, by establishing "his own presence"
     on the "outside" of him), and falls into many a trap (of "separation and differences"
     on the "outside" of him)".

     "He does not know (anymore) to seek himself (within himself) although God exists
     within man."

[Note: This Quotation is also on page 6, in the opening paragraph, in the "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com).of the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com).  To access an
on-line copy of the "Forward" please click above or HERE, and to access an on-line "Table of Contents" for this book, and some of the Chapters and material in this book, please click above or HERE.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.  Amen]

Bawa. And in this way, allowing the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) within us to appear within the Cave of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, so He can squeeze the chest of the Prophet of God within us, saying to Him,

     "Read!  Read!  In the name of God who created man from a sensitive drop of
     blood and teaches him what he does not know, Read!"

Bawa.  Such is the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, the truth of "Who we are" and of "Who God is" within us, and the truth of "Where we are", and of "What is happening" to us, a truth that we have come here to this earth world within us to learn, and then leave, before we die to the flesh in our current state and "we" get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us as our eternal reward.

Bawa.  That is, so we can learn all of our lessons here, in this "School of Contrast" within us, that is, we can understand what "separates us" from God, from each other, and from the Creation of God within us, and having learned these lessons, so we can graduate from this "First of God's Schools" within us, from this "School of Contrast", and go onto the "Next of God's Schools" within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, where God will personally and ever so lovingly teach us about God.

Bawa.  And before we can do this in our lifetime, that is, before we can successfully leave this "First of God's School" within us, this "School of Contrast" within us, we must join in partnership with God within us to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, allowing our wisdom to liberate our soul by pulling out the 5 nails of "Our desire" to live on the "outside" of us and sin, that is, to continue living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, which in truth is our only sin, which "our presence" on the "outside" of us, all of which is "Just Not True", instead of "God's Presence" within us, all of which is "Most Certainly True".  Amen.

Bawa.  And then with "us" as the Witness of God within us, joined as "One with" the awakened wisdom and liberated soul within us, go in search of, find, and merge with the Light of our wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad within us, that God originally placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, and in this way, and only in this way, establish "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, allowing God to finish telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within us, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that like the apple seed buried within the earth, is a Story that we have come to this earth world, to join in partnership with God within the Creation of God within us, to tell, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God.

Bawa. That is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, with the intention within us, which in truth is God's Intention for having created us, that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us, that is, that in the end, that there will be nothing still "separate from" God within us, all of which is a Choice that is most certainly our Choice, not God's.  Amen.

Bawa.  Please give our love and salams to your dearest loving wife, and our dearest loving sister, Angela, and your dearest loving daughter, and our dearest loving little sister Jamella, and your dearest loving son, and our dearest loving brother, Kareem, and to all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship.

Bawa.  Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers.

Bawa.  And as always, please join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, as in truth this is the only way to truly establish "God's Presence" within us, and to correctly move forward in our life, that is, to come together with each of the Children of God for our age, in the "Name of God" for our age, So "God can be Present" within us, and "Teach us what we do not know".

Bawa.  All of which is what it really means to truly becoming the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which is "Bearing witness" of God within us, not what many of My Children are still mistakenly still doing, which is "bearing witness" of themselves on the "outside" of themselves, which in truth is only leading them to hell within themselves, that is, that is only leading them to an eternal life of "separation from" God within themselves, that is, if they die to the flesh in their current state.

Bawa.  And not because of anything that "God has done", or that God has failed to do, but rather because of what "They have done", rejecting all of God's efforts, over and over again, like in this Spiritual Letter, to teach them the truth of themselves, and the truth of God within them, that in truth God and they are "One", that is, that within them, "they" as the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within them, that is, "they" as "God happening" within the Creation of God within them, and God as the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within them, that is, God as "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within them, are "All One".

Bawa.  That is, like the apple seed, the apple tree, the apple fruit, and the earth, are "All One', as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and its Apples", so too "We are All One", as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within us, and as the "Tree of God" hidden within the "Seed of God", and as the "Fruit of God" hidden within the "Tree of God", and as the earth of God within which Everything of God has been planted, which is the Creation of God within us, as "All of This Stuff of God" within God within us, we are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us.

Bawa.  That is, "One within the Other as One", and "One revealing the Other within it', and "One hiding Itself within the One being revealed", only to appear again in the Next Cycle, that is, in the Next Cycle of the "Apple-AppleTree/AppleTree-Apple", in the case of the apple tree, all of which we all easily see as the "Growing Season of the Apple Tree", which in truth defines what an apple tree really is, that is, within the earth, and in our case, in the Next Cycle of "Man-God/God-Man", which we must begin to see with our clarity as the "Growing Season of God" within us, which in truth defines what God really is within each of us, that is, within the Creation of God within us, if we like, for the Choice to view God and "us" in this way, that is, "As One", or not, is our Choice, not God's.

Bawa.  That is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, as the Creation of God within us, and God within the Creation of God within us, and what God has placed "Within God" within us, and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, in order to germinate to the truth of us, and to the truth of God within us, that is, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within us, revealing and bringing to Completion the "God's Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story that like the Example of the apple seed on the "outside" of us, we have in truth come to the earth world within us, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within us, to tell.  Amen.

Bawa.  All of which is to do what our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us to do in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, which is what
His Children
(may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us to do, right now, in this Spiritual Letter, which is to,

     "Become like Me, Become like Me, Become like Me."

Bawa.  May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all.  May God help us all.  Amen.

Bawa.  My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
