"Short Outline" - With A Partial "Initial Review" of Chapter 29 (for all 17 "Outline Topics")
Page 1: - the page you are currently reading
pointing to the Reality and Truth of God "inside" of you, and "How It Happens"
within you, that is, how the Station of Man-God/God-Man happens within God
within you, through God's direct Intervention in your life, if you like, that is, if you
will only let Him, if you will only truly join in partnership with God, first on the
"outside" of you, and then within you, and Now for your age and for your life this
direct Intervention of God in your life is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God
be pleased with Him, first on the"outside" of you and then within you, if you like
Creation, including the lotus pond, which in truth is yourself, mistakenly seeing
it all as impure and of no value, mistakenly seeing it all as "separate from"
yourself, mistakenly seeing all of it as both "outside" of yourself, and as
"separate from" yourself, that is, mistakenly seeing all of it as "other people",
and as "other things", all of which in truth is "Just Not True". That is,
mistakenly seeing God and all of the Creation of God as "separate from"
yourself, and not as who "You Already Are", not as the "Seed of God" buried
within the Creation of God just waiting to germinate, not as God just waiting "To
Happening" within the Creation of God, within God within you, for the benefit of all
of the Creation of God within you, and within God within you, and for a little while
on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters, as this
child has Now learned to do. All of which in truth is just waiting to happen
within you, Quite Naturally, when you truly realize, understand, accept, and
join with the Truth of yourself and with the Truth of God within you, that in truth
"Man and God are One", and the truth that Man and what God is Now "One
with", are also "One", all of which in truth is Again "God Happening" within the
Creation of God, and within that, is Again "True Man Happening" within "God
Happening" within the Creation of God, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and
True Man", within God within you, if you like, but this time within you, if you like.
everything in God's Creation, as truly a "Gift from God" So Understanding
can occur, an Understanding of who "You Already Are", that is, to see the
"Lotus Pond" which in truth is yourself, as a "Gift from God" which is just waiting
to give up its secrets for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within
you, as God tells and brings to Completion His Story, the Story of the "Oneness
of God and True Man", within God within you, and for a little while on the
"outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as
this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
like the Secret in Man's Life lies in the Nature of the Qutbiyyat of God, as your
6th level of wisdom, as the wisdom surrounding your soul, just waiting to awaken
and liberate your soul and take it back to God, but this time with an
understanding of "Your Oneness", So it will never leave You again.
"Rebirth", but this time, "To do what?". That is, to either transcend the "place
of birth" that is your Mother, allowing God to finish what God has already started
within you, a very, very long time ago, or to again return to the "place of birth"
and become subject to 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only
one level of consciousness, or feeling. That is, in the End, to either receive an
eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you like, or to let
God finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, if you like.
but "To Do What?", to do what with the "Place of birth" that keeps him coming
out of the "Place of birth", that is, to do what with "Mom" or "Wife" or Woman",
with what keeps pulling man back to the "Place of birth", causing him to continue
coming into the world, over and over again, not allowing him to complete what
he came here to do, which is to Understand who "You already are", by
Understanding the meaning of the "Place of birth", which is "Rebirth"
has shaken up the total universe knowing the philosophical meaning of these
four & their result of hunger, illness, old age, and death?. Oh woman, do you not
control and subordinate even the celestial beings and play games before my very
eyes - the six acts of lust, hatred, greed, miserliness, bigotry and envy, and the
sixty-four arts, as the ghosts that destroy the body, like the dog of desire and
falsehood? You are the devil that develops my body and makes me wonder
about like a dog on this earth. You are my mother but a devil for this earth. Oh
you desirous mother, I shall attack you and break you. I shall feed you with the
heavenly words of "Mother! Father!". I shall show you the Primordial One. I
shall dance the sixty-four arts with you, compressing them within three years"
is the truth and reality of each of you, of each of My Children, if you like, by you
first allowing the "Aathi and the Qutbiyyat" to Happen, within God within you,
that is, by you first allowing the Nur and the Qutb to emerge out of the Shadow,
that is, by you first allowing the 25th letter which is the Nur, and the 24 letters of
the Kalimah which is the Qutb, to emerge out of the 25 letters, which is "The
Shadow", all of which is Now you, all of which is Now your life of darkness and
evil, all of which is Now your illusory life "outside" of you and the "very real but
false lives" of darkness and evil within you, that you allowed to grow within you,
like weeds in God's Flower Garden, that that Now rule over you as the 9 Opening
of your elemental body, with "God's Permission", until you "See God and Steady
God" within you, allow God to "Cure Himself of you", of "you" living your current
life 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

9. The Primal One, The Aathi, Is The One Who Raises You - who gives birth to and then raises Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine), Not "Mom" and Not "Dad". For in truth "Mom and Dad" only give birth to and then raise
Manu-neesan (man-the-low, man-the-worldly), for profit, for "Their Profit", not Yours, by taking away your "True Life", which is the pure life of your soul, and giving you their "false life", which is the life of darkness and evil of satan, of what God discarded, all of which in truth is your body and mind, with your "Mom" raising your body, and your "Dad" raising your mind, that is, with your "Mom" giving birth to, raising, and teaching you about the body, bringing your body to the state of the "Four Destructive Woman", both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the "Four Destructive Woman" who by the age of 24 you either marry or become, depending if you are a male or a female, and with "Dad" giving birth to and raising your mind, teaching you about the world, bringing your mind to the state of the "Four False Gurus", both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the "Four False Gurus" who by the age of 36 you either become or marry, again depending if you are a male or a female. And Now, if you like, God will Intervene Again in your life, transforming the 4 false Gurus into the 1 True Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, transforming the 4 destructive wives into the 1 True Wife, marrying the 1 True Wife to the soul, transforming your "Room", or Heart or Mind into the "Palace of the soul", into the "House of wisdom", into the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-
Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), allowing the soul to find and merge with God, if you like.
10. What Establishes You Firmly In "Your Presence" - as "separate from"
God, is "Mom's Presence" as "separate from" you, that is, what causes you to fall completely out of "God's Presence", when you come into the world, is the "Presence of your Mother", that is, is the "Presence of Mom", which in truth are the 10 deadly sins, are the 10 evil qualities of your Mother, are 61 of the 64 sensual arts, all of which in truth is what "Defines Mom" when you first meet her upon coming into the world.
11. "Play It Again Sam" - "When the child grows up, he catches the same repulsive spot at the second opportunity. It is called love, infatuation or lust. He handles this spot at the second opportunity and for this event the world holds celebrations and ceremonies. The right of procreation in this hell-house of the world is obtained with pride. In this state of pride, some spots that are to be concealed are kept exposed", for in truth as Bawa teaches you, "When marriage begins satan begins". In this way, even though in your first birth, all of My Children were born as human, all of My Children were first born in the state of the Qutbiyyat of God, with the 6th level of wisdom, all of you have Now, or will when you grow up, "Catch the same repulsive spot at the second opportunity". All of which is "How God Set It Up", for it is not to be born as human that is important, or to overcome 61 of the 64 sexual arts by the age of 3 years old that is important, but rather it is to learn "How To Do It", that is, to learn "How To Now Become Truly Successful" in your lifetime, Now in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do.
12. You Learning "How To Do It Correctly" Is "What Matters" - Not Just "You Doing It", no matter what you are doing, whether it be prayer, worship, duty, learning, work or play, or anything else, including "Making Love", for in truth "Who You Do It With", not just "What you do", has the "Greatest consequence" for your life, and for all other lives, as beautifully explained in this book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", that is, whether you are "Doing It" with your wisdom, which leads to one result, or with your mind and desire, which leads to an entirely different result This is what Now matters in your life, in all life, you leaning "How to do it Correctly ", how to do Everything Correctly, that is, "To Do It" as "One with" God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, to ensure the Only "Best Possible Outcome" of "Everything You Do", or "To Do It" as "separate from" God, which will guarantee the "worst possible outcome" of "everything you do". It is just this simple.

13. Understanding The "Two Great Battles of Your Life" - And "How They Are Won?", and "By Whom?", and "Where?", and Most Importantly, "Why?". With the "First Great Battle of Your Life" having already been fought and won within you, within God within you, which is why you are Now living within God within you, and for a little while you are still living on the illusory "outside" of you, so Now the "Second Great Battle of Your Life" can now be fought and also won, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God. That is, with the "First Great Battle of Your Life" having already been fought and won, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, when the Qutbiyyat of God within you came into the world with "The Aathi", as your first birth, as beautifully explained in this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", that is, in order to "Win Over Mom". Setting the stage Now for the "Second Great Battle of Your Life", with the Qutbiyyat of God within you going to sleep and dreaming of "you", that is, letting "you" as "separate from" grow from within the darkness and evil within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, and for a little while to grow on the illusory "outside" of you. And in this way, and only in this way, preparing everything necessary for the "Second Great Battle of Your Life" to Now occur, if you like, so God can "Get On With" what God is doing within you, which is God revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while for the benefit of your brothers & sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, and which you can Now learn to do, if you like
14. "The Second Great Battle of Your Life" - And "How It Is Won?", and "By Whom?", and "Where?", and Most Importantly, "Why?", a battle that is Now facing all of My Children, and a battle that can only be won by "The One", by God, by you finding and falling into "The One", first on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, falling into God for your age and for your life, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, which in truth is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), first on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, a Battle that cannot be won by you alone, that cannot be won by any of My Children who continue to act as if they are "separate from", that refuse to give up the "dream" of you for the Reality of You, that is, that refuse to give up the "dream of you as "separate from", for the "Reality" of You as "One with". That refuse to give up the dream of you which in truth is Now the "outside" of you, but which in truth is Now the "very real but false" inside" of you, but which in truth is Now the "outside" of God within you, as Now what God has discarded from "Within Himself", from within the "Reality and Truth" of You, in order to become God within you, all of which in truth is Now the current state of all of My Children.
15. The Nature of The "One True Gnani" - Is "Oneness with", rather than "separation from". That is, The Nature of The "One True Gnani" is "God's Presence" as "One with", rather than "your presence" as "separate from", is "God's Intention" as "One with", rather than "your Intention" as "separate from", and is "God's Story" as "One with", rather than "your story" as "separate from". For in truth it is Only One who has truly joined in partnership with God, In This Way, that is the "One True Gnani", first on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to learn How To become "One with" God, that is, in order to truly conquer the "Enormous Karmic Debt of Birth", which in truth is Now Still the "separation from" of all of My Children, which in truth is Now Still your "separation from" the "One True Gnani". That is, it is Only One who has truly joined in partnership with God, to learn "How Not To Be There", So "God Can Be There", that is the "One True Gnani", that is, so God can then, "Cure Himself of you", of "you" as "separate from" Him. That is, it is Only One who has joined in partnership with God, to learn "How to Fall Into the One", that is the "One True Gnani", So True Prayer Can Occur, within God within you, that is, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is"
16. The Value of the "One True Gnani" - is the "One True Gnani" Himself, not what He can do for you, not what you can get from Him, that is, not what you can get for your current life of "separation from" Him, of "separation from" the "One True Gnani", that is, the value of the "One True Gnani" is the "One True Gnani", not what He can give you as "separate from" Himself. As the Gift of "Bawa", of "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", of "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), was "Just That", when Bawa was physically in the world, that is, was Bawa Himself, was "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", was "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). And Now, for your age and for your life, "The Gift" of His "One True Child", which in truth is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within each of My Children, is Now "Just That", is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First Now on the "outside" of you, and Next within you, for eternity. That is, Again "The Gift" of "Your Oneness" is "Your Oneness", is an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, not what "you" as "separate from" can get out of it.

17. The Tree That Is "Now Growing" In The "West" - will eventually fall into the "East", that is, the "Sun that is Now Rising in the West will eventually Set in the East", all of which in truth is Now the life and teaching of My Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him), if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, to use your life to "Save God" as God has Now "Saved You". And this is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice, and certainly not the Choice of this child. For as "We" grew in the East and fell in the West, Now My Children must grow in the West and fall into the East, all of which in truth is the One True Child of God for your age and for your life, all of which is Now growing within each of My Children, if you like, as "Your Oneness", as "Your Oneness" with God, and as "Your Oneness" with all of the Creation of God, within "Us" within you, if you like. That is, if you Choose Now to learn "How To Do It", if you Choose Now to learn "How To" fall into it, while you still can. That is, if you Choose Now to join as "One with" God, for your age and for your life, who Now for your age and for your life is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly learn "How To" fall into "Your Oneness" within "Us", which in truth is Now growing within "Us", as Now "God within True Man" within God within you, for in truth "We" are Now "True Man within God" within you, if you like, and "You" are Now "God within True Man" within God within you, if you like. Allowing all that is "Of God" to return to God, but this time within you, all of which in truth is Everyone and Everything, and all of which in truth is Now the Essence of Everyone and of Everything, and all of which in truth is Now the "Power within the Essence of Everyone and of Everything", for in truth "There is Nothing Other Than God", So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. And in this way, letting True Man within God within you "Save God", as God within you has Now "Saved You", has Now "Saved Us", has Now "Saved True Man" within God within you, for in truth "We are all One". Amen. Ok?
==============================================================
"Longer Outline" - With A Full "Initial Review" of Chapter 29 (for all 17 "Outline Topics")
Page 1: - the page you are currently reading
1. The Nature of the Lotus Pond - is like a finger on the "outside" of you, pointing to the Reality and Truth of God "inside" of you, and "How It Happens" within you, that is, how the Station of Man-God/God-Man happens within God within you, through the direct Intervention of God in your life, if you like, that is, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you, and then within you, and Now for your age and for your life this direct Intervention of God in your life is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen. Ok? That is, the Nature of the Lotus Pond is like a finger on the "outside" of you pointing to the "Nature of True Man" within God within you, a finger which is First formed out of the discarded things of the world, and then transcended, one by one, through the repeated intervention of God, "So Understanding Can Occur", if you like, for "Nothing will ever leave you until it is Understood". For in truth "The Choice is yours, not God's", that is, the Choice to let God intervene in your life, in this way, or not, So God can Complete what "God is doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? With this finger First appearing within you as dirty water collected in a low lying area, which is your birth and growth in the womb, that is, as the lotus plant growing in the dirty stagnant water. And Then if you are not wise, that is, if you don't wise up before it is too late, before you die to the flesh, with you then continuing to appear only on the "outside" you, until the End, that is, until you die to the flesh, with you then becoming subject to the "Suffering of the Grave" within you, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you. Or until "The Beast" finally comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you for all of you, and if you are not wise, harvests you as "his crop" and claims you as "his property", and drags you yelling and screaming to hell, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, all occurring within you with "God's Permission", because in truth, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, "That is what you want" for eternity. So "What can God do?". Amen. Ok?
2. The Work of "Man-the-low" - is to find fault with everything of God's Creation, including the lotus pond, which in truth is yourself, mistakenly seeing it as impure and of no value, mistakenly seeing it as "separate from" yourself, mistakenly seeing all of it as both "outside" of yourself, and as "separate from" yourself, that is, as "other people", and as "other things", and at the very heart of this mistake, with you mistakenly seeing God and all of the Creation of God as "separate from" yourself. But for you to continue do so is only to your peril, because Now you know, because Now you know the truth, the truth that "Man and God" are One, and Now you can change, back into "Your Oneness", but this time with an Understanding of "Yourself", of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again, if you like. So Now you can no longer say to God, in the End, "O God, I didn't know!", for Now you know and Now you can join with God within you to Again become the "Oneness" that in truth is God within you, and in truth is You within God within you, that in truth is the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you. But this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again, but this time with you joined as "One with God" within you, and with God joined as "One with You" within Him, So as "One within the One", God can Again tell and bring to Completion "God's Story", which in truth is "Your Story", the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you.
3. The Work of "Man-The-High" - is to see the "Lotus Pond" as you see everything in God's Creation, as truly a "Gift from God", that is, to see the "Lotus Pond" which in truth is yourself, as a gift which is just waiting to give up its secrets for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, as God tells and brings to Completion His Story, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
4. The Inner Meaning of Your Body - lies in the Nature of the Lotus Pond, just like the Secret in Man's Life lies in the Nature of the Qutbiyyat of God, as your 6th level of wisdom, as the wisdom surrounding your soul, just waiting to awaken and liberate your soul and take it back to God, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness With" will never leave you again, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness" with God within you, and with what is "Within God" within you, and with what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, all of which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
5. Man Enters A Woman As A Man - and comes out again as a child, as "Rebirth", but this time, "To do what?". That is, to either transcend the "place of birth" that is your Mother, allowing God to finish what God has already started within you, a very, very long time ago, or to again return to the "place of birth" and become subject to 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling. That is, in the End, to either receive an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you like, or to let God finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, if you like. That is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that you have came to this earth world, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to join in partnership with God within you, to tell, if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to again join in partnership with God within you, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story within you, and in the process for You to truly become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen. Ok?
6. Man Keeps Coming Into The World Again As A Child - over and over again, but "To Do What?", that is, since the time of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) man keeps coming into the world, over and over again as a child, but "To Do What", to do what with the "Place of birth", to do what with "Mom" or "Wife" or Woman", with the "Place of birth" that he keeps coming out of, with the "Place of birth" that keeps pulling him back to the "Place of birth", causing him to continue coming into the world, over and over again, not allowing you to complete what you came here to do, which is to Understand who "You already are", by Understanding the meaning of the "Place of birth", which is "Rebirth", which is to Understand your mind and desire or body, that is, by joining in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside' of you, to Understanding what is "Separating you from God", from God within you, and then, having truly Understood This, in partnership with God within you, to leave. That is, for you to graduate from this "School of Contrast" within you, within God within you, for good, that is, to go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, within God within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, where God will teach you about God. And in this way, forever breaking your current cycle of "Birth and death", that is, forever breaking this "Deadly embrace" of man and woman on the illusory "outside" of you, which in truth is the "Deadly embrace" of your mind and of your body within you. And as always, you have two choices, that is, for you to join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while Now on the "outside" of you, to either "Transcend the Place of birth" within you or to fall into the "Place of birth" again on the "outside" of you, at a later time, as the you did in your previous existence. And Now for your age and for your life, God within you, and for a little while God on the "outside" of you is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We Are Well Pleased". And Now this is your Choice, that is, the Choice to either join as "One with" Him, with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you to "Transcend the Place of birth", First on the "outside" of you as the embrace of man and woman, and then within you as the embrace of your mind and body, or to again reject "God's Direct Help" for your age and for your life. That is, to again reject "God's Direct Intervention" in your life, as you have done before, as you have rejected all of God's Previous efforts to help you, for the last 200 million years, including the last "Gift of God" for your age and for your life that you Now call the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). But a life and a teaching that you have Now reduced to "Taking about It", rather than "Becoming It", that you have Now reduced to using It to "Define you" rather than to "Destroy you". Please don't make this mistake again with this "Final Gift of God" for your age and for your life, this gift of the life and a teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, this gift to "Transcend the Place of birth" and "Save God" in your lifetime, or at least to truly Start To, before you die to the flesh, to the "outside" of you, so God can then do "Everything Else", so God can then "Finish It". Amen. Ok?
7. "You Are My Mother But A Devil For This Earth" - "Are you the woman who has shaken up the total universe knowing the philosophical meaning of these four and their result of hunger, illness, old age, and death?. Oh woman, do you not control and subordinate even the celestial beings and play games before my very eyes - the six acts of lust, hatred, greed, miserliness, bigotry and envy, and the sixty-four arts, as the ghosts that destroy the body, like the dog of desire and falsehood? You are the devil that develops my body and makes me wonder about like a dog on this earth. You are my mother but a devil for this earth. Oh you desirous mother, I shall attack you and break you. I shall feed you with the heavenly words of "Mother! Father!". I shall show you the Primordial One. I shall dance the sixty-four arts with you, compressing them within three years".
8. The Truth of One Born As "Man-The-High" - Is "Man-God Happening", which is the truth and reality of each of you, of each of My Children, if you like, by you first allowing the "Aathi and the Qutbiyyat" to Happen, within God within you, that is, by you first allowing the Nur and the Qutb to emerge out of the Shadow, that is, by you first allowing the 25th letter which is the Nur, and the 24 letters of the Kalimah which is the Qutb, to emerge out of the 25 letters, which is "The Shadow", which is Now you, which is Now your life of darkness and evil, which is Now your illusory life "outside" of you and the "very real but false lives" of darkness and evil within you, that you allowed to grow within you, like weeds in God's Flower Garden, that that Now rule over you as the 9 Opening of your elemental body, with "God's Permission", until you "See God and Steady God" within you. All of which is Now your life in ignorance of "Who you are", of "Where you are", and of "What is truly happening" in your life, all of which is contained within the 28 letters that form the Mystical Body of Man, all of which is contained within the 51 letters from which God Created Man. With God Creating man out of the 51 lettered body of Adam (peace be upon Him), after God made Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) appear as a Peacock from within this 51 lettered body, and upon looking at Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) caused the 7 celestial beings of the 7 skies to appear from within Him as beads of sweat, the 7 celestial beings which Now rule over man, with "God's Permission", until you "See God and Steady God" within you, until you allow God to "Cure Himself of you", of "you" living your current life 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". And in this way God separated the 51 letters into 31 and 20 letters, that is, into the 31 which is the 28 and the 3, and into the 20, which is the 20 year Journey of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on Mi'raj, that is, His 20 year Journey within you back into the "Oneness" that is God within you, but this time with an Understanding of "His Oneness", so it will never leave Him again, a journey that you must Now get Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within God within you to take again, but this time within you, this time within the handful of earth know as your heart. And in this way with God further dividing the 31 into the 28 letters, which is the Mystical Body of Man, and into the 3 letters, which is the Triple Flame of God, as "Ya Allah, Ya Aathi, and Ya Muhammad", with God then placing these Three within three of the 28 letters, within the Three known as Alif, Lam, and Mim.

9. The Primal One, The Aathi, Is The One Who Raises You - who gives birth to and then raises Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine), Not "Mom" and Not "Dad". For in truth "Mom and Dad" only give birth to and then raise Manu-neesan (man-the-low, man-the-worldly), for profit, for "Their Profit", not Yours, by taking away your "True Life", which is the pure life of your soul, and giving you their "false life", which is the life of darkness and evil of satan, of what God discarded, all of which in truth is your body and mind, with your "Mom" raising your body, and your "Dad" raising your mind, that is, with your "Mom" giving birth to, raising, and teaching you about the body, bringing your body to the state of the "Four Destructive Woman", both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the "Four Destructive Woman" who by the age of 24 you either marry or become, depending if you are a male or a female, and with "Dad" giving birth to and raising your mind, teaching you about the world, bringing your mind to the state of the "Four False Gurus", both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the "Four False Gurus" who by the age of 36 you either become or marry, again depending if you are a male or a female. But "The Aathi", the Primordial One is the One who gives birth to and raises Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine), also for Profit, but this time for Your Profit, not His, giving up His Life of Power so you could become the "Light of God", within God within you, teaching you of your soul and of the relationship between your soul and God. For in truth Manu-eesan is born with and raised by the "The Aathi", which is your Next State, your Next State within your current state, if you like, like the apple seed is born with the apple tree, within the sweet taste within the apple fruit, all of which is its Next State, if it like, for the apple tree is within the apple seed, just waiting to happen, and within that is the apple fruit, and within that is the sweet taste, and within that, is again the apple seed, all just waiting to happen, but this time a 1000 fold, that is, if the apple seed likes, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth within themselves
10. What Establishes You Firmly In "Your Presence" - as "separate from" God, is "Mom's Presence" as "separate from" you, that is, what causes you to fall completely out of "God's Presence", when you come into the world, is the "Presence of your Mother", that is, is the "Presence of Mom", which in truth are the 10 deadly sins, are the 10 evil qualities of your Mother, are 61 of the 64 sensual arts, all of which in truth is what "Defines Mom" when you first meet her upon coming into the world. That is, this is what your Mother Now has, and what has Now come to maturity in your Mother, when you are born into the world, and this is what your Mother then gives to you when your first come into the world as a baby, all of which is also what she got from her Mother when she too came into the world as a baby. And Now, when you too come into the world, she literally shows then to you, she shows you the 10 deadly sins, she shows you 61 of the 64 sensual arts, she shows you what she Now has in maturity, she shows you what Now defines her, that is, she literally plays them out before you, that is, before the baby, before the baby's very own eyes, as soon as the baby is born, teaching them and bringing them out in the baby, establishing them in the baby, as they were established earlier in her, by her Mother, when she too came into the world. And these very same 10 sins, these very same 61 of the 64 sensual arts, that she was given by her mother, she Now gives to "her baby", these very same things that she Now has in maturity, she will Now work to bring to maturity in "her child". This is "her gift" to "her baby", separation from God. Something to think about a little, Yes?. Amen. Ok?
11. "Play It Again Sam" - "When the child grows up, he catches the same repulsive spot at the second opportunity. It is called love, infatuation or lust. He handles this spot at the second opportunity and for this event the world holds celebrations and ceremonies. The right of procreation in this hell-house of the world is obtained with pride. In this state of pride, some spots that are to be concealed are kept exposed", for in truth as Bawa teaches you, "When marriage begins satan begins". In this way, even though in your first birth, all of My Children were born as human, all of My Children were first born in the state of the Qutbiyyat of God, with the 6th level of wisdom, all of you have Now, or will when you grow up, "Catch the same repulsive spot at the second opportunity". All of which is "How God Set It Up", for it is not to be born as human that is important, or to overcome 61 of the 64 sexual arts by the age of 3 years old that is important, but rather it is to learn "How To Do It", that is, to learn "How To Do It" Now in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do. That is, even though all of My Children came in your first birth in the state of the Qutbiyyat of God, with "The Aathi", and through your 6th level of consciousness "Won Over Mom", a "Battle" which in truth is your relationship with "The Aathi" within you, this is just the "First" of the "Two Great Battles" you must win, in partnership with God within you, First joining with with "The Aathi" to win over the 33 potentialities of man which all of the Creation of God are given by God, the 33 potentialities which estabishes what is needed for your birth and death, and Second, again joining in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, which Now is joining with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), first on the "outside" of you and then within you, to win over the "Drama of Your Life", the drama that is unique to man, that is, winning over the mind and desire of man, winning over the illusion or maya that is Now your life, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which has now opened within you 105 million rebirths, but which through God intervention you can Now learn How To transcend your drama. That is, if you like, through God's Intervention you can Now learn How To transcend the 36 potentialities of man and become the 96, and then the 99, and then the 100 potentialities of man, becoming the "Resonance of the Allah", becoming the meaning of Allahu, if you like, by closing down the world of hell, the world of jinns, and the world of fairies, re-opening the World of souls, and then opening the Kingdom of God, within God within you, that is, within your "Room", or Heart, or Mind, when you truly "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of you"
Something to think about again, Yes? Amen. Ok?
12. You Learning "How To Do It Correctly" Is "What Matters" - Not Just "You Doing It", no matter what you are doing, whether it be prayer, worship, duty, learning, work or play, or anything else, including "Making Love", for in truth "Who You Do It With", not just "What you do", has the "Greatest consequence" for your life, and for all other lives, as beautifully explained in this book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", that is, whether you are "Doing It" with your wisdom, which leads to one result, or with your mind and desire, which leads to an entirely different result This is what Now matters in your life, in all life, you leaning "How to do it Correctly ", how to do Everything Correctly, that is, "To Do It" as "One with" God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, to ensure the Only "Best Possible Outcome" of "Everything You Do", or "To Do It" as "separate from" God, which will guarantee the "worst possible outcome" of "everything you do". It is just this simple. That is, Not just you blindly continuing to do things in your life, as you are Now currently doing them, that is, as your parents, friends, school, and religion taught you to do them, that is, as "separate from" God within you. For in truth you have a Choice, and the Choice really matters, for Now you truly Have the Choice to Start to "Say, Do, or Write" Everything "In Partnership with" or as "One with" God, first on the "outside" of you, and then within you, first as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and then as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you. Not you continuing to "do business as usual", which is truth is just "An Express Train To Hell" within you. That is, "Not You Continuing To Do It", that is, "To Do Everything" as you Now do it, as you Now do Everything, that is, as "separate from" Everything. That is, as you living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as if you are "separate from" God, and as if you are "separate from" Everyone and Everything else, that is, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, from your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True".

13. Understanding The "Two Great Battles of Your Life" - And "How They Are Won?", and "By Whom?", and "Where?", and Most Importantly, "Why?". With the "First Great Battle of Your Life" having already been fought and won within you, within God within you, which is why you are Now living within God within you, and for a little while you are still living on the illusory "outside" of you, so Now the "Second Great Battle of Your Life" can now be fought and also won, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God. That is, with the "First Great Battle of Your Life" having already been fought and won, when the Qutbiyyat of God within you came into the world with "The Aathi", as your first birth, as beautifully explained in this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", that is, in order to "Win Over Mom". Setting the stage Now for the "Second Great Battle of Your Life, this time with the Qutbiyyat of God within you going to sleep and dreaming of "you", letting "you" as "separate from" grow from within the darkness and evil within you, and for a little while to grow on the illusory "outside" of you. And in this way, and only in this way, preparing everything necessary Now for the "Second Great Battle of Your Life" to Now occur, so God could then "Get On With" what God is doing within you, which is God revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, and which you can Now learn to do, if you like. All of which in truth is Now "you", is Now" you living in your current state, both within you as the lives of darkness and evil that you allowed to grow within you in your ignorance, and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and which Now Rule Over You as the 9 Openings of your Elemental Body, with "God's Permission", that is, until you "See and Steady God" within you, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of you".
14. "The Second Great Battle of Your Life" - And "How It Is Won?", and "By Whom?", and "Where?", and Most Importantly, "Why?", a battle that is Now facing all of My Children, and a battle that can only be won by "The One", by God, by you finding and falling into "The One", first on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, falling into God for your age and for your life, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, which in truth is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), first on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, a Battle that cannot be won by you alone, that cannot be won by any of My Children who continue to act as if they are "separate from", that refuse to give up the "dream" of you for the Reality of You, that is, that refuse to give up the "dream of you as "separate from", for the "Reality" of You as "One with". That refuse to give up the dream of you which in truth is Now the "outside" of you, but which in truth is Now the "very real but false" inside" of you, but which in truth is Now the "outside" of God within you, as Now what God has discarded from "Within Himself", from within the "Reality and Truth" of You, in order to become God within you, all of which in truth is Now the current state of all of My Children. Such is the enormity of the task ahead of each of My Children, and why "Only God Can Do It", as "One with" You, that is, for you to "Win by Not Winning", that is, to "Win over you" as "separate from", by using "You" as "One with", that is, to "Win over the lower self" by using the "Higher Self, that is, to "Win over" what is "separating you" from God, by using God, first on the "outside" of you, and then within you. And God Now on the "outside" of you, as the "Presence of God" as the "Word of God", as the "Word of God Made Flesh" for you age and for your life, is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), Now as such for your life, or not, first on the "outside" of you and then within you.
15. The Nature of The "One True Gnani" - Is "Oneness with", rather than "separation from". That is, is The Nature of The "One True Gnani" is "God's Presence" as "One with", rather than "your presence" as "separate from", is "God's Intention" as "One with", rather than "your Intention" as "separate from", and is "God's Story" as "One with", rather than "your story" as "separate from". For in truth it is Only One who has truly joined in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to learn How To become "One with" God, that is the "One True Gnani", that is, in order to truly conquer the "Enormous Karmic Debt of Birth", which in truth is Now Still the "separation from" of all of My Children, that is, "separation from" the "One True Gnani". That is, it is Only One who has truly joined in partnership with God, to learn "How Not To Be There", so "God Can Be There", that is the "One True Gnani", that is, so God can then, "Cure Himself of you", of "you" as "separate from" Him. That is, it is Only One who has joined in partnership with God, to learn "How to Fall Into the One", that is the "One True Gnani", so True Prayer Can Occur, within God within you, that is, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is". For in truth only this is "True Prayer", and only this is "True Duty", not you standing on your prayer mat, or you working at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, USA, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you. For in truth God cannot accept such "Prayers of Separation", such "Duty of Separation". For in truth "God is One", and God will only accept the "Work of the One", that is, the "Prayer of The One", and the "Duty of The One", which in truth is God praying to God, that is, the "Prayer of the One to the "One who Is", all of which in truth is God doing duty to God, which in truth is the "Duty that is Greater Than God". You must know this Now, without the slightest doubt, My Dearest Loving Children, if you are to become truly successful in your lifetime That is, you must Start to Understand this and Start to live and act according, by joining in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you, and then within you. And then, as "One with" God, first on the "outside" of you and then within God within you, Start to perform your Prayers and your Duty in this way, that is, as "One with" your brothers and sisters, both in your Prayer and in your Duty, also first on the "outside" of you and then within God within you, and as "One with" the Creation of God, both in your Prayer and in your Duty, first on the "outside" of you, and then within God within you. For Then in truth, God will do "Everything Else" to make you life truly successful in your lifetime, for Then "God Will Make It So", God will make "Your Oneness" the "Truth and Reality" of your life, first on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen. Please Start to do it like This, My Dearest Loving Children. That would be Good. Good for you, Good for your brothers and sisters, Good for the Creation of God, and Good for "Us". Amen. Ok?
16. The Value of the "One True Gnani" - is the "One True Gnani" Himself, not what He can do for you, not what you can get from Him, that is, for your life of "separation from" Him, for your "Current Life" of "separation from" the "One True Gnani", that is, the value of the "One True Gnani" is the "One True Gnani", not what He can give you as "separate from" Himself. As the Gift of "Bawa", of "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", of "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), was "Just That", when Bawa was physically in the world, that is, was Bawa Himself, was "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", was "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). And Now, for your age and for your life, "The Gift" of His "One True Child", which in truth is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), is Now "Just That", is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First Now on the "outside" of you, and Next within you, for eternity. That is, Again "The Gift" of "Your Oneness" is "Your Oneness", is an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, not what "you" as "separate from" can get out of it. And "The Gift" is Again "The Gift" of "Oneness with" all that God is Now "One with", within God within you, which in truth is Everyone and Everything within God's Creation, as well as what truly Transcends all of that, as well as the Power within that. That is, Again "The Gift" of all of it and of all that Transcends all of it, as well as the Source of it all. So Stop wanting to Get Something for your efforts, or to Protect Yourself, or to Save Yourself, and instead, "Become It", that is, Become what is the "Next of you" that is always hidden within the "Current of you", that is, that is always hidden within who you "Currently Are", like the apple seed giving up its "Seediness" to becoming its "Treeness", and Next its "Fruitiness", that is, in order to become the apple tree and apple fruits hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth. And in a similar way, by you willingly and freely giving up who you "Currently Are", for what is Next, for what is Next of "Who You Truly are", that is, for what is Now hidden within who you "Currently Are". Realizing that what you are Currently being asked to give up of you, that is, of who you "Currently Are", is always showing you "Less of Who You Truly Are", less of "Your Source", less of "Your Oneness", than "What Is Next" of "Who you truly Are". For in truth "What is Next" of "Who you truly are" is always "Closer" to "Who you truly are", and to "Where you truly are", and to "What is truly happening" in your life, than what you "Currently Are". And in this way, and only in this way, if you like, with you finding the "Truth and Reality of Yourself" by you repeatedly joining in partnership with God, first on the "outside" of you and then within you, to learn How To "Walk back to God", that is, How To "Walk Back to Your Truth and Reality", and leave behind "your falsehood and illusion", more and more, which in truth is who you "Currently Are", that is, to join in partnership with God to learn How To "Walk back" to "Your Source", from which you have truly come, that is, to "Your Oneness", to your "Oneness with "God, to your "Oneness with" your brothers and sisters, and your "Oneness" to the Creation of God, within God within you, by you repeatedly "Using God to Get to God", first on the "outside" of you and then within you, but this time with an Understanding of who "You Already Are", so "Your Oneness" will Never Leave you again. Amen. Please do it like this, My Dearest Loving Children. That would be good. Amen. Ok?

17. The Tree That Is "Now Growing" In The "West" - will eventually fall into the "East", that is, the "Sun that is Now Rising in the West will eventually Set in the East", all of which in truth is Now the life and teaching of My Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him), if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, to use your life to "Save God" as God has Now "Saved You". And this is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice, and certainly not the Choice of this child. For as "We" grew in the East and fell in the West, Now My Children must grow in the West and fall into the East, all of which in truth is the One True Child of God for your age and for your life, all of which is Now growing within each of My Children, if you like, as "Your Oneness", as "Your Oneness" with God, and as "Your Oneness" with all of the Creation of God, within "Us" within you, if you like. That is, if you Choose Now to learn "How To Do It", to learn "How To" fall into it, while you still can. That is, if you Choose Now to join as "One with" God, for your age and for your life, who Now is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us),
First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly learn "How To" fall into "Your Oneness" growing within "Us", that is, as Now "Your Oneness" growing within "Our Oneness", if you like. For the Choice to do this, or not, with your life, is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to fall into "Your Oneness" within "Our Oneness", or not, while you still can. And in this way, and only in this way, if you like, with you Now becoming "One With" God within True Man within you, allowing God within you to Again reveal the Deen, to Again reveal the Effulgence, to Again reveal the "Power within the Essence of Everything", but this time within you. And in this way, and only in this way, with you becoming "One with" the Tree that is Now growing in the West which will Eventually fall into the East, that is, with you Now becoming "One with" the "Sun that is Now Rising in the West which will eventually Set in the East", which in truth is God telling and bringing to Completion His Story, but this time within you, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that you have come here from God, to Again join as "One with" God, to tell, but this time within you, if you like. Amen. Ok? That is, as "The Power that dawns in the Place where there is no "I", as God has Now truly Ordained, allowing God to finish what "God is Now doing", with what is Now "Within God" within you, if you like, which is God revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, if you like. All of which in truth is Now "You", is Now My Children, all of which in truth is Now Again "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like. For Now the Choice is most certainly yours, not God, because God has already made His Choice, and He Chose You, He Chose "Oneness with" You, and that is why He is Now God within you, and why you are Now living on the "outside" of you, but in truth within Him within you, so you too can Now Choose, so you too can Now Choose either God or you, either God or satan, either God or hell, for in truth they are all the same Choice. And there is no other Choice, only these Two Choices, not Three Choices as My Children still mistakenly believe, that is, not "God, heaven, or hell", not "God, you, or satan". So Now you must Choose, Now is the time, that is, for each of My Children to Now Choose, to Now Choose either an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, or an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. So please Choose wisely My Dearest Loving Children, truly your eternal life depends upon it. Amen. Ok?

"Copy of Chapter 29" - With a "Full Initial Review" & the "Expanded
Review" & the "Original Text" (for Topics 1 to 8 Only)
01. The Nature of the Lotus Pond
Initial Review of Topic 01:
Bawa. The Nature of the Lotus Pond is like a finger on the "outside" of you, pointing to the Reality and Truth of God "inside" of you, and "How It Happens" within you, that is, how the Station of Man-God/God-Man happens within God within you, through the direct Intervention of God in your life, if you like, that is, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join in partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you, and then within you, and Now for your age and for your life this direct Intervention of God in your life is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. That is, the Nature of the Lotus Pond is like a finger on the "outside" of you pointing to the "Nature of True Man" within God within you, a finger which is First formed out of the discarded things of the world, and then transcended, one by one, through the repeated intervention of God, "So Understanding Can Occur", if you like, for "Nothing will ever leave you until it is Understood".
Bawa. For in truth "The Choice is yours, not God's", that is, the Choice to let God intervene in your life, in this way, or not, So God can Complete what "God is doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. With this finger First appearing within you as dirty water collected in a low lying area, which is your birth and growth in the womb, that is, as the lotus plant growing in the dirty stagnant water. And Then if you are not wise, that is, if you don't wise up before it is too late, before you die to the flesh, that is, with you then continuing to appear only on the "outside" you, until the End, that is, until you die to the flesh, with you then becoming subject to the "Suffering of the Grave" within you, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you.
Bawa. Or until "The Beast" finally comes out of at least one of My Children, and if you are not wise, harvests you as "his crop" and claims you as "his property", and drags you yelling and screaming to hell, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, all occurring within you with "God's Permission", because in truth "That is what you want" for eternity. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Or until "The Beast" finally comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you for all of you, and if you are not wise, harvests you as "his crop" and claims you as "his property", and drags you yelling and screaming to hell, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, all occurring within you with "God's Permission", because in truth, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, "That is what you want" for eternity. So "What can God do?". Amen. Ok?
Expanded Review of Topic 01:
Bawa. All of which naturally becomes the fate of any of My Children who die in this state, that is, in the state of you only living as your physical body in the world, that is, with you only living in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance through your mind and desire on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, with you only 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", but all of which all of My Children are still mistakenly doing.
Bawa. But then if you like, if you truly wise up, if you truly join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, before you die to the flesh, then God intervenes in your life to separate the mud and stagnant water of the lotus pond into dirt and clear water, that is, God intervenes to separate your "outside" into you "inside" and your "outside", that is, to what is "Within God" within you, and to what is Now "outside" of God within you, but is currently inside of you, all of which in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance you Now see as the illusory "outside" of you, but in truth is within you, as the lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, and Now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission".
Bawa. With God intervening in your life, First as the 4th and 5th levels of wisdom, within God within you, all of which is your Subtle Body within you physical body. And within that, within your Subtle Body, Next as your Light Body, as the Triple Flame of God, within God within you, which if allowed to form within you, as "God, the Guru, and the True Disciple" [See "Spiritual Discourse 07" (www.SpiritualDiscourses007.
homestead.com)] becomes the "One" within God within you who separates the pond of your birth into heaven and hell, within God within you. With heaven Now being what is "Within God" within you, that is, as what is Now what is within you, as what Now defines you, and with hell Now being what God has again discarded from Himself, but this time discarded from within you, that is, with hell Now being what is both the "outside" of God within you, and the New "outside" of you.
Bawa. That is, if you will only let Them, if you will only join Them in this separation process, that is, if you will only "Let Grace spring forth, Let darkness vanish, Let the Love of Guru Grow, and Let Qualities be purified" [See "Invocation To Guru" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvGuru.homestead.com) in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com)]. That is, if you will only join in partnership with God within you to let your Subtle Body appear, to let your dark body disappear, to let the Triple Flame appear, and Find and Merge into the light of God or Nur, within God within you. That is, First as the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within God within you, as heaven within you, that naturally reappears within you when hell is discarded from you, that is, as your 4th and 5th levels of wisdom within God within you, when the Worlds of hell, jinns and fairies are closed down within you, and Next within that, within heaven within God within you, if you will only let the Triple Flame of God appear, as the Qutbiyyat of God, as your 6th level of wisdom, within God within you.
Bawa. And in this way, with you letting your Light Body appear, within your Subtle Body or heaven God within you, as "God, the Guru, and the True Disciple", living and acting as One, within God within you, finding and becoming True Prayer within God within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", within God within you. And in this way, with you joining in partnership with God within you to let your unclear life End, which is your current life on the illusory "outside" of you, but which in truth is within you, as the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, like weeds in "God's Flower Garden", and to let your Clear Life Begin, which is your New Life "Within God" within you, which is the New within you, and with everything on the "outside" of you Now appearing as what God has again discarded from Himself, but this time from within you.
Bawa. All of which is you, and all of which is just waiting to be revealed by God within you, all of which is a New Life within you that is no longer what is "outside" of God within you, is no longer a reflection of what God discarded from Himself, in order to become God within you, but rather a New Life that is "Within God" within you, and a reflection of what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this Child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And in this way, with you and God again becoming "One", in your own life time, at least with you truly Starting to become "One", so God can do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life truly successful in your life time, that is, allowing you to become One with "God's Presence", One with "God's Intention", and One with "God's Story" within God within you, So in the End, that is, at the End of this telling of God's Story within you, "No Child Is Left Behind, there is nothing still "Separating God from God" within you, truly allowing God within you to again tell and bring to Completion His Story, a Story that you have come here to this earth world to tell, and bring to Completion, in partnership with God within you, but this time within you . Amen. Ok?
Bawa. That is, once you have allowed God to intervene in your life in this way, as your "subtle body", as your 4th and 5th levels of consciousness or wisdom, and within that, as the Triple Flame of God, that is, once you have been separated into heaven and hell by the Triple Flame of God within God within you, by "God, the Guru, and the True Disciple", by the Three moving as "One" within you, that is, separated into what is Now within God within you and into what is Now truly "outside" of God within you, so Understanding can Truly Occur through this Contrast.
Bawa. That is, once you have allowed God to Next intervene as the lotus flower within the 6th level of wisdom, within God within you, which is your Light Body, as your 6th level of wisdom, which is the Qutbiyyat of God, within God within you, which is the "Grace of the Dhat", which is the wisdom surrounding your soul having awakened to the "Word of God" and to the "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, and having liberated and joined as "One with" your soul, all of which then goes in search of the Nur, in search of the Light of your wisdom, if you like, that is, as the "Qalb Poo" or the "Flower of the Heart", which explains to you the Secret of all life, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is the "Presence of God", both within God within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to let God intervene in this way, or not, in your life of stagnant water. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And in this way, with all that is Now within you, having come to Completion, having found and joined with the Nur, as the "Life of God" within God within you, Now transformed into a reflection of the love and beauty of God, of the Creator of all things, that is, as the Resplendence and the Sound of the 7th level of wisdom joined as "One with" the ruh or soul, allowing the soul to "Speak to" and "Realized God", that is, as the sweet honey taste within the lotus flower, which attracts the honey bee from the top of the nearby mountain to collect, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which holds the Secret for those who would truly strive to realize the life of True Man in the world, and of His duty in the world, a duty and a Secret that in truth is "Greater Than God"
Original Text of Topic 01:
Guru:
There is a pond. It is at a lower level of earth where water flows into it. People refer to such a collection of stagnant water as a low lying area. When it rains the pond becomes filled with water. When the rains continue, dirt and mud too find their way into the pond. Grass and lotus plants appear in this collection of mud. People call it a lake when the water does not strain itself and there is plant life. Some people bathe and others wash themselves in its waters saying,
"Oh this lake is good."
The water is stagnant and the lotus plants grow in it. It looks pretty. Roots and flowers appear in the water. The leaves are useful to man. The lotus plants puts out shoots and bear flowers and leaves.
People now call it a lotus pond. Some fish appear on their own in the mud at the bottom of the pond. Some fish enter the pond with the flood waters while other fish fall into the pond with the rains from the sky.
The frogs see the pond from a place of elevation and jump into its waters. Waves form and break into all four shores and overflow to expand the pond. More living creatures migrate into the pond to live there.
People look at the pond and say,
"Aha, this is a good lotus pond. Let us drink its water and rest for awhile."
So they drink the water and relax for a while before going on their way.
One person says,
"Yes, it is a good pond. There is water. There is an ache in my stomach. I shall
ease myself here and wash my hands and feet before I proceed."
Yet others say,
"Oho, this was earlier a low lying piece of land. Now it has become a large lotus
pond. This water is not so pure. All the rain water in the village collects here.
Chee! Chee! This is not suitable for drinking."
They say this and go away.
Cattle, goats and cows too come to drink the water in the same pond and also to ease themselves, dropping their excreta and urine there. People come there to pick the lotus leaves and others to gather the lotus flowers for the temple. Some come to fish. They all come, each for his individual purpose.
Each person completes the work for which he has come and goes away.
02. The Work of "Man-the-low"
Initial Review of Topic 02:
Bawa. The Work of "Man-the-low" is to find fault with everything of God's Creation, including the lotus pond, which in truth is yourself, mistakenly seeing it all as impure and of no value, mistakenly seeing it all as "separate from" yourself, mistakenly seeing all of it as both "outside" of yourself, and as "separate from" yourself, that is, mistakenly seeing all of it as "other people", and as "other things", all of which in truth is "Just Not True".
Bawa. And at the very heart of this mistake is you mistakenly seeing God and all of the Creation of God as "separate from" yourself, rather then you seeing God and the Creation of God as who "You Already Are", that is, as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God just waiting to germinate, as "God Happening" within the Creation of God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. All of which in truth is just waiting to happen within you, Quite Naturally, when you truly realize, understand, accept, and join with the Truth of yourself and with the Truth of God within you, that in truth "Man and God are One", and the truth that Man and what God is Now "One with", are also "One", all of which in truth is Again "God Happening" within the Creation of God, and within that, is Again "True Man Happening" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you, if you like, but this time within you, if you like. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Such is the truth of your life, of the life of all of My Children, and the truth of God within your life, within the life of all of My Children, which is "Your Oneness" within God within you, and for a little while, "Your Oneness" on the "outside" of you, and such is the "Great Fault" of your current life of "separation from" on the illusory "outside" of you.
Bawa. That is, the "Great Fault" of you not realizing "Your Oneness", First as your "Oneness" with God on the "outside" of you, that is, First as your "Oneness" with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and then as your "Oneness" with God within you, that is, and then as your "Oneness" with God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, all of which in truth is the "Great Fault" of your life, that is, the fault of you not realizing that in truth "Man is God in the Forgetting of Himself". Amen. Ok?
Bawa. And a "Great Fault" that has Now become "Even A Greater Fault" in your life, because Now you know, that is, "A Great Fault" that has Now become even "A Greater Fault" for you, that is, if you Now Continue to live this "Great Fault" as your life, rather than joining in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly Start to "give up" your "Great Fault".
Bawa. And to truly Start to "give up" your "Great Fault" before "The Breast" comes out of at least one of My Children, all of which in truth is Now about to happen, and destroys the "outside" of you for all of you, and if you are not wise, that is, if you have not wised up before "The Beast" comes out, harvests you as "his crop", and claims you as "his property", with "God's Permission", that is, in the End with "The Beast" dragging you yelling and screaming to hell within you, that is, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, not because of "God's Punishment", but rather because in truth "That is what you want" for eternity, for the "Justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive", for in truth your own life answers the Question for you, "What do you want for eternity", for in truth what you End up with in your life is Exactly what you want, and in this way, this life, and the Next life are Perfect.
Bawa. So My Dearest Loving Children please be very careful about what you intend in this short life in the world because in truth in the End, that is exactly what you will receive, that is, what you are Now intending for your life, but in the End, with you receiving what you are Now intending, as it truly is within you, that is, as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost, not as you are Now currently experiencing it on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, not as "your life and world", all of which in truth is "Just Not True", and then in the End, with you getting what you are Now intending for eternity within you. So please "Make God's Intention Your Search", and then "Intend as God Intends". That would be good. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Such is your "Great Fault" that has Now become an even "Greater Fault" in your life, that is, if you Now, after hearing the Truth of You and of God within you, that in truth "You and God are One", you Now Continue living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, all of which is "Just Not True", rather than you Now truly joining in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to truly Start to live as "One with" God within you.
Bawa. Rather then you Now truly Starting to live as "One with" what "God is Now doing" with what is Now "Within God" within you, which is Now revealing God to God within God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, and Now as you too can learn to do, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, and certainly not the Choice of this child. So please Choose wisely in the time left in your life. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Because Now you know, and for you Now to keep acting as if you "Don't Know" is even a greater fault, that is, for you to keep acting as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and
as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, all of which you Now Know is "Just Not True", is Now even a greater fault on your part, and if not Now corrected, will Now most definitely lead you to the depths of hell within yourself, that is, to the depths of "separation from" God within yourself, for eternity, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So please think about this a little, My dearest loving Children, and Start to act accordingly, Start to act as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, First as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and then as "One with" God within you, that is, and then as "One with" God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you,. That would be good. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. Because Now you know the truth of you and of God within you, the truth that "You and God" are One, and because Now you can change, if you like, that is, Now you can most certainly change from your current life of "separation from", on the illusory "outside" of you, back into "Your Life" of "Oneness With", within God within you, but this time with an Understanding of "Yourself", that is, this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again, if you like.
Bawa. Because Now in the End you can no longer say to God, "O God, I didn't know!", Now in the End all you can truly say to God is, "O God, I didn't what You! "
Bawa. Because Now you know and Now you can join as "One with" God, if you like, First on the "outside" of you, and then within you, that is, First as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) on the "outside" of you, and then as "One with" with God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within you, that is, in order to Again become the "Oneness" that in truth is God within you, and in truth is You within God within you, that in truth is the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you, that in truth is Now the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you, which in truth is Now who "You Already Are", if you like.
Bawa. But this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again, but this time with you joined as "One with God" within you, and with God joined as "One with You" within Him, So as the "One within the One", as the "Oneness of God and True Man", God can Again tell and bring to Completion "God's Story", which in truth is "Your Story", that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you. Amen. Ok?
Expanded Review of Topic 02:
Bawa. That is, if you like, for the Choice is yours, Not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, is your Choice, not God's Choice, that is, the Choice to truly Stop "Working for wages to get into heaven" on the illusory "outside" of you, and to truly Start to "Join in Partnership with God within you", before it is too late, before you die to the flesh and hell becomes your eternal lot, So God can then do "Everything Else" necessary within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to make your life truly successful in your lifetime. That is, the Choice to let God within you, and Now You within God, which in truth is True Man within God within you, finish telling and bringing to Completion the Story of God, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that is, the Story that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God within you, to tell.
Bawa. That is, for you to join in partnership with God within you to "die before death", that is, to "die before death" to your current life of hell, of darkness and evil, of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", to "die before death" to "your presence" as "separate from" God Presence", to "die before death" to "your intention" as "separate from" God's Intention", to "die before death" to "your story" as "separate from" God's Story. That is, to "die before death" to your current story of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, that in truth is really within you, as the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, and that Now Rule over you, as the 9 Openings in your elemental body, with "God's Permission".
Bawa. That is, to "die before death" to "The story" that was written by your parents rolling around like snakes on a bed, "A flawed story" that God took from your parents, "printed and bound", and "animated with your soul", that is, "A flawed story" written by your parents that God "made move", that God gave life to, by placing your soul within it. And "A flawed story" that God then handed to you, at birth, in your ignorance, allowing satan to "have his way with you", with "God's Permission", at least for a little while on the illusory "outside" of you, So Understanding could occur.
Bawa. That is, So you could become "God's Story" in the "School of Contrast", through the Contrast of your pure birth, which is the "world of souls" within you, and your impure birth, which is Now the illusory "outside" of you, that is, through the Understanding of "What is separating you from God", and through this experience, through an Understanding of who in truth "You already are", which is the "Oneness" that is God and True Man within you, allowing you to then return to God within you, from which you have come, as the Understanding of God. Allowing you to be truly "born again" as a New Life, as the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul, in search of the Nur, as a New Life, with you having joined in partnership with God within you, to Now Tell and bring to Completion God's Story, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you.
Bawa. That is, to join in partnership with God within you to "Close down the world of hell, of jinn, and of fairies" within you, and to "Re-opening the World of Souls" within God within you, and then "Open the Kingdom of God" within True Man within God within you, or at least to truly Start to, before you die to the flesh. In this way, and only in this way, with you revealing and becoming "One with" the "Presence of God" within God within you, "One with" the "Intention of God" within True Man within God within you, and "One with" the Story of God, within the "Power within the Essence of Everything", a Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that God can then Again finish telling and bringing to Completion, but this time within you.
Bawa. That is, if you will only let Him, if you will only truly join with God in this way, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as Now for your age and for your life, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as how you truly become a "Sufi", as One who has truly attained the state, or at least truly started to attain the state, before you "die to the flesh", of "Annihilating the I of cutting away love for earth, of eliminating mind and desire, of forgetting the self, of making God your very life and body, and of making you actions, your wisdom, and your conduct, the same as those of God", that is, of truly becoming a "Sufi", for your age and for your life, that is, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen. Ok?
Original Text of Topic 02:
However, the Manu-neesan (man-the-low, man-the-worldly) who sees the pond thinks,
"What is this? This is a muddy pond. It contains the droppings of cattle and
human excreta. There are frogs and fishes. It is not clean. After all, this was
only a piece of low lying land once. There is excreta on one side. It is dirty.
Cows drink its water. There are fish and crocodiles. There is mud. There are
lotus flowers. This pond is impure"
They say this and that and talk about the impurities of the pond.
03. The Work of "Man-The-High"
- (No Expanded Review of Topic 03)
Initial Review of Topic 03:
Bawa. The Work of "Man-The-High" is to see the "Lotus Pond" as you see everything in God's Creation, as truly a "Gift from God", that is, to see the "Lotus Pond" which in truth is yourself, as a gift which is just waiting to give up its secrets for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, as God tells and brings to Completion His Story, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Original Text of Topic 03:
But if man uses his wisdom (as Manu-eesan or Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine) he will realize that where there is a pond, there is mud; where there is mud there is the blue lotus flower; where there is the lotus, there is impurities; where there is impurity, there are many fish, frogs and similar creatures.
Where there is a pond, people will come there to fulfill their needs. They will perform their duties and go away.
There is a repulsive impurity in the pond. But the Angel Mikha'il comes and cleans this impurity and deposits it with a collection of dirt. The lotus eats this dirt and flourishes. The flowers bloom into a large size. The water in the pond becomes clear. Many creatures live happily in the pond. The sand on the shores is clean. The water in the pond is so clear that one sees one's face in it like in a mirror.
The man who does not cast adverse remarks on the nature of the pond and does his work and goes away is Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine).
04. The Inner Meaning of Your Body
- (No Expanded Review of Topic 04)
Initial Review of Topic 04:
Bawa. The Inner Meaning of Your Body lies in the Nature of the Lotus Pond, just like the Secret in Man's Life lies in the Nature of the Qutbiyyat of God, that is, of your 6th level of wisdom, as the wisdom surrounding your soul, just waiting to awaken and liberate your soul and take it back to God, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness With" will never leave you again, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness" with God within you, and with what is "Within God" within you, and with what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, all of which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Amen. Ok?
Original Text of Topic 04:
Just like the secret in man's life (lies in the Qutbiyyat of God within you, within God within you, which is your 6th level of wisdom, which is the wisdom surrounding your soul, just waiting to awaken to the "Presence of God" and to the "Word of God" for your age and for your life, and if you like, then liberate your soul and take it back to God, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so "Your Oneness" will never leave you again, that is, an understanding of "Your Oneness" with God within you, and with what is "Within God" within you, and with what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, so too) the inner meaning of his body lives here (in the example of the lotus pond).
05. Man Enters A Woman As A Man
- (No Expanded Review of Topic 05)
Initial Review of Topic 05:
Bawa. Man Enters A Woman As A Man, and comes out again as a child, as "Rebirth", but this time, "To do what?". That is, to either transcend the "place of birth" that is your Mother, allowing God to finish what God has already started within you, a very, very long time ago, or to again return to the "place of birth" and become subject to 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling. That is, in the End, to either receive an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you like, or to let God finish telling and bringing to Completion His Story, if you like.
Bawa. That is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that you have came to this earth world to tell, that is, to join in partnership with God within you, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to tell, if you like.
Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to again join in partnership with God within you, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story within you, but this time within you, and in the process for You to truly become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen. Ok?
Original Text of Topic 05:
Inside of the repulsive pit mixed with many types of dirt, man is formed into a dirty embryo and remains in this state for ten months. Venom is mixed with his flesh, skin and nerves. At the tenth month he finds his exit through the entrance of the same dirty pit. At the end of nine months, nine days, nine "nalihai", nine hours, nine minutes, and nine seconds he comes through the passage with fluid oozing out and with a melting heart of desire.
He falls out of the passage gazing at the dirt. We see it as a baby. On falling on earth, he gazes at the same repugnant spot which he had desired in his previous existence.
06. Man Keeps Coming Into The World Again As A Child
Initial Review of Topic 06:
Bawa. Man Keeps Coming Into The World Again As A Child, But "To Do What"? That is, since the time of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) man keeps coming into the world, over and over again as a child, but "To Do What", to do what with the "Place of birth", to do what with "Mom" or "Wife" or Woman", with the "Place of birth" that you keep coming out of, with the "Place of birth" that keeps pulling you back to the "Place of birth", causing you to continue coming into the world, over and over again, not allowing you to complete what you came here to do.
Bawa. That is, not allowing you to Understand who "You already are", by Understanding the meaning of the "Place of birth", which is "Rebirth", which is to Understand your mind and desire or body, that is, by joining in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside' of you, to Understanding what is "Separating you from God", from God within you, and then, having truly Understood This, in partnership with God within you, to leave here, to return to God within you, from which you have come.
Bawa. That is, for you to graduate from this "School of Contrast" within you, within God within you, and then to go off to the Next of God's Schools within you, within God within you, which is the "School of Light" within God within you, where God will teach you about God. And in this way, forever breaking your current cycle of "Birth and death", that is, forever breaking this "Deadly embrace" of man and woman on the illusory "outside" of you, which in truth is the "Deadly embrace" of your mind and of your body within you.
Bawa. And as always, you have two choices, that is, for you to join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while Now on the "outside" of you, to either "Transcend the Place of birth" within you or to fall into the "Place of birth" again on the "outside" of you, at a later time, as the you did in your previous existence. And Now for your age and for your life, God within you, and for a little while God on the "outside" of you is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We Are Well Pleased".
Bawa. And Now this is your Choice, that is, the Choice to join as "One with" Him, with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, or not, that is, to "Transcend the Place of birth" by Understanding it as truly the embrace of your mind and body within you, and not just as the embrace of a man and a woman on the "outside" of you, or to again reject "God's Direct Help" for your age and for your life.
Bawa. That is, to again reject "God's Direct Intervention" in your life, as you have done before, as you have rejected all of God's Previous efforts to help you, for the last 200 million years, including the last "Gift of God" for your age and for your life that you Now call the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us).
Bawa. The life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) that you have Now reduced to again taking about It, rather than becoming It, that you have Now reduced to again using It to "Define you" rather than to "Destroy you".
Bawa. And Now again "God's Direct Help" for your age and for your life, as Now the life and teaching of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased".
.
Expanded Review of Topic 06:
Bawa. That is, to join with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to transcend this "Place of birth" on the "outside" of you, which in truth is to transcend your mind and desire or body within you, by Understanding this "Place of birth" on the "outside" of you, by Understanding your mind and desire within out, through "The Presence God" and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life, and in this way, and only in this way, with you letting "Your wisdom reason over your fate".
Bawa. This and only this, is True Victory in your life, not anything that My Children are Now mistakenly doing, like raising families, publishing books, having daily meeting, and having annual celebrations. For upon coming into the world the child immediately sees and desires the "Place of birth" called Mother, but if "This Is Your First Birth", if you truly come into this world with wisdom, with the 6th level of wisdom, then the child immediately knows the inner meaning of the "Place of birth", which is the "Deadly Embrace" of your mind and of your body within you, joined together for the destruction of your soul, by pulling you back to the "Place of birth" on the illusory "outside" of you, and knowing this, without the slightest doubt, immediately goes to war with "Mom", with the "Place of birth" on the "outside" of you which in truth is the "Deadly Embrace" of your mind and desire or body within you.
Bawa. That is, if this is the First Birth in the world for "Your Soul", meaning that this time you have come into the world with Wisdom, with the 6th level of wisdom know as the Qutbiyyat of God, which is the wisdom surrounding your soul in the first birth of your soul, the wisdom that is awakened by the "Presence of God" and by the "Word of God" for your age and for your life. For then your Wisdom will immediately go to war with your Mother, with the "Place of birth" on the "outside" of you, which in truth is your mind and body within you, as the "giver of the 4 gifts", as the "giver of the 4 gifts" that make you the rightful owner of "Hunger, Illness, Old Age, and Death", as the one who demonstrates to the child and then teaches the child the "10 deadly sins". Then your wisdom will immediately go to war with your Mother, joined as "One with" the Aathi, as the "Shepherd and the Tree", as the "Lotus Pond and the Tree in the Desert", to overcome 61 of the 64 arts. Doing all of this compressed within 3 years, doing all of this before the age of 3.
Bawa. For in truth your mother and father are the gurus of the arts, are your body and your mind, reflected and experienced by you in your ignorance, and now in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of you, as your mother and father, as your sister and brother, and when you return to that "Place of birth" on the illusory "outside" of you, as your wife and/or your husband, that is, as the gurus of the 64 sexual arts and sciences that in the End, will only lead you to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, if you are not wise, that is, if you don't wise up to the "Truth and Light" of you, which is God within you, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, before it is too late, before you run out of time to do anything about it. With you then in the End becoming subject to the "Suffering of the Grave" within you, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, with "God's Permission".
Bawa. That is, with you then in the End taking on as part of your judgment 105 million rebirths, if you are not wise, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling. That is, with you taking on as part of your judgment an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. That is, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, before you die to the flesh, and truly join in partnership with God, as "One with" the "Gift of God" for your age and for your life, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, all of which is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like.
Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, and not Bawa's, that is, the Choice is Now yours, that is, the Choice to either "Accept and Use" Our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as such, that is, as the "New Gift of God" for your age and for your life, to "Reason over your fate", or not. For if you don't then you will most certainly become subject to another cycle of "Birth and death", to another experience of the deadly embrace of your mind and of your body. Please know this Now, without the slightest doubt, and please Choose wisely, My Dearest Loving GrandChildren, Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters, while you still can. My Love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Ok?
Bawa. That is, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, that is, before you die to the flesh, and Now Truly Join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to at least Truly Start to again tell God's Story within you, within God within you, before you die to the flesh, so God within you can then do "Everything Else", everything else necessary to make your life truly successful in your life time, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to Task God on "Your Behalf", or not, by you making "you" God's Problem, not "your problem", both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. For in truth only God can solve the problem of "you", not "you", because what has happened to "you" in truth "has not happened to you", but rather has happened to God within you, not to "you", because in truth you are the dream of God, not the dreamer.
Bawa. For in truth God is the dreamer, not you, the dream of you living a life of "separation and difference" on the "outside" of you, with you Now living on this 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". And Now you must get God to awaken from "His Dream", allowing God to finish what He Start within Himself within you, a very, very long time ago, all of which in truth is "You", both Now and a very, very long time ago, all of which in truth is God revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok?
Original Text of Topic 06:
He desires the place called "Mother". She makes him the rightful owner of four things (hunger, illness, old age, and death). That is why there are some specific differences in man and woman and these differences are referred to as males and females.
The baby looks at the mother and fondles her breast. It strokes it with its hands and gazes at it with its eyes. It cries and clutches it. It is this that nourishes the baby and helps it to grow. The baby falls down, cries and clutches the mother's bosom and sucks it with its mouth.
The mother says,
"The baby is crying in hunger and must be given its milk".
07. "You Are My Mother But A Devil For This Earth"
- (No Expanded Review of Topic 07)
Initial Review of Topic 07:
"You Are My Mother But A Devil For This Earth. Are you the mother of these four; hunger, disease, old age, and death? Are you the woman who has shaken up the total universe knowing the philosophical meaning of these four and their result?. Oh woman, do you not control and subordinate even the celestial beings and play games before my very eyes - the six acts of lust, hatred, greed, miserliness, bigotry and envy, and the sixty-four arts, as the ghosts that destroy the body, like the dog of desire and falsehood? You are the devil that develops my body and makes me wonder about like a dog on this earth. You are my mother but a devil for this earth. Oh you desirous mother, I shall attack you and break you. I shall feed you with the heavenly words of "Mother! Father!". I shall show you the Primordial One. I shall dance the sixty-four arts with you, compressing them within three years".
Original Text of Topic 07:
As soon as the child is born, he observes that place and knows its inner meaning.
He utters,
"Are you the mother of these four; hunger, disease, old age, and death?"
He grinds his gums saying,
"Are you the woman who has shaken up the total universe knowing the
philosophical meaning of these four and their result?"
"Oh woman, do you not control and subordinate even the celestial beings and
play games before my very eyes - the six acts of lust, hatred, greed, miserliness
bigotry and envy, and the sixty-four arts, as the ghosts that destroy the body,
like the dog of desire and falsehood?"
"You are the devil that develops my body and makes me wonder about like a dog
on this earth. You are my mother but a devil for this earth. Oh you desirous
mother, I shall attack you and break you. I shall feed you with the heavenly
words of "Mother! Father!".
"I shall show you the Primordial One. I shall dance the sixty-four arts with you,
compressing them within three years".
So saying, he bites the cheek, kisses the nose, squeezes the breast, kicks the chest, pinches the ears, and does many other things, and completes sixty-one games within a span of three years.
He does this with no malice. He speaks with the Aathi, The Primordial One and smiles with the mother.
08. The Truth of One Born As "Man-The-High"
Initial Review of Topic 08:
The Truth of One Born As "Man-The-High" Is "Man-God Happening", which is the truth and reality of each of you, of each of My Children, if you like, by you first allowing the "Aathi and the Qutbiyyat" to Happen, within God within you, that is, by you first allowing the Nur and the Qutb to emerge out of the Shadow, that is, by you first allowing the 25th letter which is the Nur, and the 24 letters of the Kalimah which is the Qutb, to emerge out of the 25 letters, which is "The Shadow", which is Now you, which is Now your life of darkness and evil, which is Now your illusory life "outside" of you and the "very real but false lives" of darkness and evil within you, that you allowed to grow within you, like weeds in God's Flower Garden, that that Now rule over you as the 9 Opening of your elemental body, with "God's Permission", until you "See God and Steady God" within you. All of which is Now your life in ignorance of "Who you are", of "Where you are", and of "What is truly happening" in your life, all of which is contained within the 28 letters that form the Mystical Body of Man, all of which is contained within the 51 letters from which God Created Man. With God Creating man out of the 51 lettered body of Adam (peace be upon Him), after God made Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) appear as a Peacock from within this 51 lettered body, and upon looking at Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) caused the 7 celestial beings of the 7 skies to appear from within Him as beads of sweat, the 7 celestial beings which Now rule over man, with "God's Permission", until you "See God and Steady God" within you, until you allow God to "Cure Himself of you", of "you" living your current life 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". And in this way God separated the 51 letters into 31 and 20 letters, that is, into the 31 which is the 28 and the 3, and into the 20, which is the 20 year Journey of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on Mi'raj, that is, His 20 year Journey within you back into the "Oneness" that is God within you, but this time with an Understanding of "His Oneness", so it will never leave Him again, a journey that you must Now get Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within God within you to take again, but this time within you, this time within the handful of earth know as your heart. And in this way with God further dividing the 31 into the 28 letters, which is the Mystical Body of Man, and into the 3 letters, which is the Triple Flame of God, as "Ya Allah, Ya Aathi, and Ya Muhammad", with God then placing these Three within three of the 28 letters, within the Three known as Alif, Lam, and Mim.
Expanded Review of Topic 08:
Bawa. Such is the exaltedness of the birth of Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine), if you like, that is, within each of My Children, a birth which in truth occurs within the first 3 years in the first birth of all of My Children, all of which in truth is "Who you are", and "Where you are", and what is truly "Happening in your life", not what you are currently experiencing, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, on the illusory "outside" of yourself.
Bawa. Not what you Now continue to let " falsely define You", day in and day out, moment by moment, that is, to Only define "You" as "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True", all of which in truth is the "Very least of You", all of which in truth is that part of you which in truth is the "Opposite of You", so Understanding can occur, for in truth Understanding only occurs through Contrast, through the Contrast of hell and heaven, of good and evil, and of "your qualities" and the "Qualities of God", all of which in truth is the Mubarakat of, the Rahmat of God, which is the Wealth of the Three worlds of God within God within you, that is, of the World of souls, of this earth world, and of the Next World or Hereafter within God within you, that You have come here to harvest, if you like.
Bawa. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to Harvest this Wealth of God from within God within you, or in the End, to be harvested by "The Beast" within you, when he finally comes out of at least one of My Children. Please join in partnership with God, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to Start to Harvest God's Crop from within God within you, while you still can. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. This is the truth of each of you, of each of My Dearest Loving Children. This is the truth of you in your first birth, "Man-God Happening" within God within you. This is the truth of Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine). This is you in your first birth, you born as the infant who upon coming into the world immediately "Observes that place of birth and knows its inner meaning". This is you in your first birth, you who immediately goes to war with "That Place of Birth", who immediately understands and goes to war with "Your Mother", with this "Devil for this earth", who then "Completes sixty-one games within a span of three years", who "Does this with no malice, speaking with the Aathi, The Primordial One, and smiling with the mother". This is the truth of you, of you in your first birth.
"This is the gnani called an "infant" by the world and the mother", but in truth in your first birth is the baby Manu-eesan, the baby Man-The-High, the baby Man-The-Divine, being raised by the Aathi, by the Primal One for the first 3 years. This is each of you, this is each of My Children in your first birth, if you like. This is the truth of you, of each of My Children, "Man-The-Divine", not anything that you are Now currently experiencing in the world, if you like. Please "Reflect on this and be clarified"
Original Text of Topic 08:
It is this infant having completed the sixty-one sensual arts who is born as Manu-eesan (Man-The-High, Man-The-Divine). This gnani is called an "infant" by the world and the mother. Reflect on this and be clarified.
