Bawa.  Here is Page 1 of 1 of the On-line Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter,
"
Spiritual Letter 137", which is a short little letter to My Dearest Loving Son Aaron Weiss, answering the following question that he asked of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

          "Is it proper for the disciple, when saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image
          that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the
          understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and
          to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but
          who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the
          disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  And a short little letter to His devoted mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza Weiss, and to all of My Children, that is, to all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), who in truth is Now everyone living in your age, if you like, a letter that you will find full of some Very Large Wisdom, if you are wise. Amen.

Bawa.  All of whom in truth, like each of My Children, is either My dearest loving
Son or My dearest loving Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers or actions of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you which in truth are the windows of your inner heart or Qalb, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can be seen, and understood, again, if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice whether any of "This Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.  Ok?.

Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children, to God within all of My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to
again become
"One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen.

Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and
Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Them, and with Us) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Amen

Bawa.  "We" have provided "Two Versions" of this "On-line Version" of "Spiritual Letter 136", one With and one Without an "Outline", and for the "With Outline" version "We" have provided "Two Outlines", both a "Brief Outline" and a "Longer Outline.

Bawa.  The "Brief Outline" gives you just enough of a description of each "Outline Topic" for you to "get the point", and the "Longer Outline" puts no restriction on the description of each "Outline Topic", letting the full description flow forth, which can be quite extensive and beautiful, if you read it entirely, especially if you read it with Bawa, giving Bawa Salams to Him and asking Him to teach you "What you do not know", which is how this child has Now learned to do everything.  Amen.

Bawa.  "We" have given this beautiful Spiritual Letter the following "Short Title" of,

Is Now "You, If You Like,
For In Truth The Choice Is Yours, God's"

Text of On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 137, Without Outline, that is, as it was Originally E-mailed to My Children on the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List".  Click HERE to read about the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List", and how to get on this mailing list, if you like

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

Bawa.  Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu.  Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of
My Children
.  May God help all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  My Love You, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron (Weiss), and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza (Bitsy Weiss), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

Bawa.  You asked the question,

"Is it proper for the disciple, when saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  Again this is a very good question, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and gets this time at the very heart of the True Disciple, who in truth is God awakening to Himself, , who in truth "Is You', if you will only let Him, but this time within you, and how the True Disciple awakens to Himself, if you like, for in truth whether the True Disciple awakens to Himself, or not, but this time within you, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice. 

Bawa.  And your Choice that allows the True Disciple to awaken to Himself, that is, for "you" to become "You", is for you to Either "be there", Or to let God "be there", in Everything that God places before you, Not for "you" to "be there" better, or wiser, or, as you say in your question, Not for "you" to "be there",

"Dismissing the image that comes to your mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, or you dismissing the understanding in your mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, (or you doing anything)".

Bawa.  And Not for "you" to "be there", as you also say in your question,

"Accepting "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  In this way, your question Again is an example of the mind looking for something to do, or not to do, Not To Come To An End, because in truth it is all the same, it doesn't matter if "you" do something or stop doing something, it is all a "role for the mind", it all keeps you living as if you are "separate from" God, 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, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  A life of "separation and differences" that in truth just keeps nourishing all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, that is, with "your" every breath, with "your" every look, with  "your" every word, with "your" every taste, with "your" every thought, and with "your" every intention and action, that is, just keeps nourishing all of the lives of darkness and evil that Now rule over you through the 9 openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission".

Bawa.  When in truth the only thing that will allow the True Disciple to awaken to Himself, that is, for "you" become "You", is for "you" to end, that is, for "you" to join in partnership with God, that is, to become "One with" with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to become peaceful with "your" own Ending, that is, with "your" own Ending as "separate from", because of "Your Love" for God, because of your "Oneness with" God, that is, because of your growing "Oneness with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, because of an awakening New Life within your "old life", because of an awakening of the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness".  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  That is, because of the growing awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the Truth of God within you, and of the Truth of True Man within the Truth of God within you, that in truth "You" as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God are in truth "God happening", that "You" in truth are the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God.

Bawa.  And within that, in truth God is the "Fruit of God" hidden within the "Tree of God", and as such in truth God is "True Man happening" within "God Happening", 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.  All of which naturally happens within you, when you Start to sit in the "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, letting the "Word of God" for your age and for your life awaken and nourish the True Disciple within God within you, that is, awaken and nourish the "You" within the "you, that is, awaken and nourish the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and in this way, with "you" beginning to realize, understand, accept, and join with the reality of "You", putting down the "falsehood" of "you", without the slightest doubt, that when this True Disciple within you, when this "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness" within you, comes to maturity within you, that He will literally "Pull you out of here", as He has Now pulled this child "out of here".

Bawa.  And this is why "you" say the Word "Bawa", as much as you can, whenever you can, to "Escape" from "you", not to give "you" something New to do, or something New to know, but Rather, to get "rid of you", to "destroy you", as "separate from", and to "Reveal You", as "One with", that is, to Again "Reveal God", but this time within you, that is, to Let God Again become God, but this time within you, that is, to Let God Again discard "the satan", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now done.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For example, like "you" becoming "You", like "you" becoming "One with" God, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, that is, before you pray, before you do salat, before you do the Zikr, before you do the Kalimah, before you do duty, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, for you to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God Start to End "you" as "separate from", and to Start to Begin "You" as "One with", Not for "you" Now as "separate from" to "Get Something", or to "Know or Understand Something", or to "Accomplish Something", using "you" as "separate from", using what in truth "God has discarded", to become God within you, for in truth, at every moment, Now and Forever, "La ilaha Ill Allahu", that is, "there is nothing other than God", that is, "you" as "separate from" do not exist, "You" are Allah.

Bawa.  And the value of the Life and Teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now in your life, and in the life of all of My Children, if you like, is to help "You" do that, Not to help "you" do that, that is, when you truly accept Him as such, when you  truly accept Him as Now the "Gift of God" for your age and for your life, that is, when you truly accept Him as Now "You" within "you", as Now "You happening" in your life, as Now "God happening" in your life, when you truly build your life around Him, when you truly make His Life, "Your Life", and His Words, "Your Words", and His Qualities and Actions, "Your Qualities and Actions", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, First to help you to truly "Die in God" Now, that is, to help you to truly End Now as "separate from", before you die to the flesh, before the "outside" of you is over, when your Ending Now is of Great Value to God within you, rather than for you to end later, when you ending is of no real value to you, or to anyone else, but in truth is just the ending of the dream of you, of the "outside" of you, revealing the eternal and "Very real but false" within of you, which in truth are the elemental spirits of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, that is, a demon, jinn, fairy, and a ghost, and Next become "your suffering" in the grave, and then "your" Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), if you are Not Wise, that is, if the "Child of Light" does not awaken and come to maturity within you, within the "child of darkness", before you die to the flesh

Bawa.  That is, First to help you to truly "Die in God" Now, by giving Life To Him, to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, and then, Second to help you to truly "Be Born in God", by giving Life to God Within Him, by giving Life to God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, who in truth is the Nur Muhammad, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you.

Bawa.  That is, when "The Two Become One", that is, when you and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) become "One with" on the "outside" of you, allowing God within Him, that is, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, to disappear within the True Disciple within you, which is Now your Silent, Formless Soul within you, is Now the Secret One within you, is Now the "Silent One" within you, establishing the Triple Flame of God within you.

Bawa.  That is, to establish Now within you, if you like, the "Truth of You", and the "Truth of God" within the "Truth of You", all of which in truth is the "Shepherd and the Tree" within you [see Chapter 2, with the same Name, the "Shepherd and the Tree" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com).

Bawa.  And all of which in truth is the "Lotus Pond and the Tree In The Desert" within you [see Chapter 28, "The Tree In The Desert", and Chapter 29,
"The Lotus Pond" (www.SpiritualBook002.Chap29.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), all of which in truth is Again the Story of God, is Again the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice for you to use your life in this way, or not, that is, the Choice to use what God has given to you a very, very long time ago, that God has placed within you, ever So patiently, and ever So lovingly, in this way, or not, that is, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story, Again, but this time within you.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For if you do, if you join as "One with" God, to let "you" die in God, and to let "You" be born into God, then in truth this is Now "Who You Are", then in truth this is Now "Where You Are", and this in truth is Now "What Is Happening" in "Your Life", that is, "You Are God Happening Within God" with you, "You" are Now the Triple Flame of God, within God within you.

Bawa.  For if you do, if you use your life in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, in partnership with God, with "You" becoming "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to Pray, to Start to do Duty, all of which is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, then You Will Be God's "Extraordinary Process", then within You,

"Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame.  Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process"

Bawa.  And in this way, My Dearest Loving Children,

"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true Gnana Guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher.  When you take refuge in such a Guru you will see God.  You become the Guru, disappearing in Him while the Guru disappears in God. Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame.  Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process".

Bawa.  So, "We" handed "your question" to Bawa within "Us", My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, saying the Word "Bawa", and "Escaped from you", and This Is What He said,

Bawa.  Yes, it is certainly proper for you do what you said, that is,

"When saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  However, it would even be more valuable for your life, and for the life of all of your brothers and sisters, to strengthen your faith and trust in God, and only in God, and to give all Responsibility for your life to God and only to God, a life which Now includes "everything" that has grown within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, which in truth is "your bank" and within that "your prayer", all of which is "everything" that God has discarded, in order to become God within you.

Bawa.  But This Is Not All That "You Are", for in truth You Also Include God within you, and Everything that is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" within Everything "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.

Bawa. And this is Now Also "Who You Are", in addition to what has Now grown within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, and Now "The Choice Is Yours", that is, which of these "Two Definitions" of "Who you are", One True the other false, One Given to you By God, the other given to you by "your parents", will you Now claim as "Who you are", for in truth "You cannot have both", as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe, and in truth "The Choice" is Now yours, not God's, and that is for sure, Again as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe.

Bawa.  So Please Choose Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, and Please Choose Wisely, Please Choose Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Rather than "you", for in truth this is why you Now have Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), at least for a little while, until He too leaves the world, as "We" did before Him, that is, for "You To Make This Choice", that is, between "God or you".  It is truly this simple.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For in truth "You Also Include", as part of "Who you are", and as a part of "Where you are", and as a part of "What is happening" in you life, God within you, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is within God within you, and None of This is Now In your "room" or heart or mind, But all of This is Now within a Tiny Piece of Flesh within you, no bigger than an atom, just waiting to be revealed.

Bawa.  That is, just waiting to grow into the "Tree of God", and bear the "Fruit of God", and reveal the "Sweet Taste of God", if you like, like the apple tree and all of its branches and flowers and fruits, and sweet taste, are all hidden within a Tiny Piece of the Apple Seed, no bigger than an atom, just waiting to happen, just waiting for the apple seed to germinate, just waiting for the apple seed to realize, understand, accept, and join with the Truth hidden within it, if it likes, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth hidden within themselves, instead some rot in the earth, die in the earth, and then take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the Oneness of the Apple Tree, Its Fruits, Its Taste, and of the Apple Seed.  Something to think about a little, Yes?.

Bawa.  So this is the Other Part of You, the "God Part of You", the Part of You that God has Now given you, for your age and for your life, if you like, Not the "shirt part of you", not the part that your parents gave to you, by rolling around on a bed like snakes, Not the part that has Now become "you" as "separate from", that has Now become the "child of darkness", that has Now become "the form" of "the satan", that is, has Now become the "Enemy of the soul", in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance.

Bawa.  Not the part that has Now in truth become "your bank", that has become your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which is a bank of "separation and differences", First on the "outside" of you and Now within you, that is, of "I and you", of "mine and yours, of selfishness and sin, and Not the part that has Now become "your prayer", your prayers of "separation and differences", of drama, of selfishness.

Bawa.  And Everything that is Now within God within you, is just waiting for you to Claim and Start to Use, all of which in truth is "God's Bank" within God within you, and within that is "God's Prayer" within God within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", all of which in truth is Now Also "Who You Are", and "Where You Are", and "What is Happening" in your life, and is Now just waiting for you to Claim, to Claim as "Your Birthright", as "Your Heritage", as the "True Destiny of your soul", if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to claim "God's Bank", and within that "God's Prayer", as Now "Your Bank", and as Now "Your Prayer", in partnership with God within you, as "One with" God within you, as Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, for Again, the Choice is yours, not God's.  Amen. OK?.

Bawa.  And you can Now Do This, each of My Children can Now Do This, by simply joining as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which for your age and for your life is Now you simply joining as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to learn How to Start Withdrawing from "God's Bank", within God within you, and How to Stop Withdrawing from "your bank" within you, and within that, by learning How to Start saying "God's Prayer", within God within you, and How to Stop saying all of "your prayers".

Bawa.  And this is Now the "Gift of God" for your age and for your life, for the life of all of My Children, this is what God has Now given you, this is what God has Now give all of My Children, if you like, and if you truly accept it as such, with faith and trust in God, not in the Gift, then God will do Everything Else to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, and that is "God's Promise", that is "God's Guarantee" for your age and for you life.

Bawa.  But You must do Your Part, and that is for You to Start to use it as such, which is Now you joining as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as much as you can, as often as you can, in Everything that God places before you, if you like.

Bawa.  For in truth all of the Creation of God Is Now living within you, within your heart of darkness and evil, that is, within your "room" or heart or mind, and is just waiting to Stand in "God's Presence" of "Oneness & Unity", of "Justice and Truth", and of "Compassion and Unity", and hear "God's Word" of Truth and Light for your age and for your life, Rather than being forced to stand in "your presence" of "separation and differences" and hear "your words" of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and falsehood, all of which is Now their current fate, and Now your current life, this "deadly embrace", this drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" that has Now become your life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, and has Now become their life of darkness and evil within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, and this is Now the Truth of you, and of them within you.

Bawa.  So Please Stop Leading All of Us To Hell, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and all of My Children, that is, please Stop leading all of "us" within you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and Instead Please Give Us Our Freedom, Please Let Us Escape from your "room" or heart or mind, by joining Now as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.  Please do this "Hearts Work" Now as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, while you still can, while "we" can still escape from the "suffering of the grave", and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) that you are Now leading all of "us" to.  Please do it Now.

Bawa.  This is what you must Now Do With Your Life, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and all of My Children, So Everything within you, which in truth is "All of Us", and All of Creation, can come to Judgment and Salvation Now, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, before you die to the flesh, before the illusory "outside" of you are over, So Everything within you can become the "Body of Truth" or Qalb or "Crystal Heart" within you, if they like, So Everything within you can become the "Kingdom of God" within your Qalb or "Crystal Heart", if they like, So Everything within you can merge and again become "One with" God, within God within you, if you like.

Bawa.  For in truth before Everything within you can have this Choice, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you, Either as "One with" Or as "separate from" God within you, you have to make Your Choice, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you, Either as "One with" Or as "separate from" God within you, a Choice which My Children in truth have Yet To Make.

Bawa.  For To Truly Make This Choice, Now in your lifetime, while you still can, You Must Truly Accept "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", As That Choice, that is, as "How You Make This Choice", not any of the current silliness that My Children are Now doing, that is, to Truly Accept Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now this "Final Gift of God" for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now the Final "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, as Now the Final "Word of God" for your age and for your life, and in truth as Now The Next You, and truly Start to treat Him accordingly.

Bawa.  That is, for all of My Children to truly Start to build your life around Him, around the Life and His Teachings of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order for you to truly learn How To fall into Him, that is, to fall into the "Truth and Light" of God for your age and for your life, or at least to Truly Start To Fall Into Him, before you die to the flesh, So God can then Do Everything Else Necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  Please Do It Like This, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, and get all of your brothers and sisters, which in truth is Everyone Now living in your age, To Do The Same, that is, by saying the Word "Bawa" before you do, whenever you can, as much as you can, with Faith and Trust In God, Not in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), giving all Responsibility To God, Not to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), allowing God and Only God "To be Present", and "To Be Speaking", Not you, Not your brothers and sisters, and Not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), allowing God and Only God to move forward His Story, but this time within you, but this time within each of My Children, if you like, that is, to move forward the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which in truth "Is You".

Bawa.  A Story that in truth you have come here to tell, and to bring to Completion, but this time within you, if you like, that is, a Story that you have come here Join as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to tell and bring to Completion, if you like, 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.  Please do it like this, My Dearest Loving Children.  This is Now the correct thing for you to do.  Please try.  Or at least truly think about it a little, for in truth there is No Other Way, no other way to truly become successful in your lifetime.  Amen. Ok"

Bawa.  Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the heart) to your mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza, and to your father and My Dearest Loving Son Elliot, and to all of your family and friends.  Please tell them that Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa.  May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of My Children.  May God help all of My Children. Amen.

About The "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"

Bawa.  If you would like to be added to the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"
please sent "Us" your request to either of the following E-mail addresses: "
Bawa786@aol.com" or "Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com", and please put the following as the E-mail Subject: "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List - Please add my name to your list". 

Bawa.  And if you like (optional), then in the body or "Text of the E-mail" please tell "Us" a little bit about yourself, if you like, that is, about your life in the world, and of the world within you, which in truth is your life in the "presence of the satan", which in truth is your "mind and desire", which in truth is your current life of falsehood and darkness, and about your life in the "Presence of God", which in truth is your wisdom, which in truth is your "Next Life", Here and Now, of Truth and Light, if you like, for in truth The Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to continue living as the "presence of the satan" or to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God", Here and Now.

Bawa.  And about how best "We" can join with you in this "Grand Endeavor",
that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "you" becoming "You"
, that is, of "You" moving from "your falsehood and darkness" to "Your Truth and Light", Here and Now, that is, of "You" moving from being the "presence of the satan" and the "word of satan", to becoming the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God", Here and Now. 

Bawa.  For example, by "Us" sitting together at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship (always the very best way), letting Bawa "Cure Himself of us" or by "Us" Instant Messaging in "God's Presence", or by "Us" talking on the Phone in "God's Presence", that is, for "Us" to do as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told "Us" to do, over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) also told "Us" to do over 1400 years ago, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) also told "Us" to do over 1000 years ago, and Now in "Our" age as
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) has Again told "Us" to do, and "Right Now" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
is Again telling "Us" to do
, that is,

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

Bawa.  That is, to sit in the "Presence of God" in this "Grand Endeavor", that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" Letting God Again Happen, but this time within you, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God Again become One with God, but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again.

Bawa.  That is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as the "presence of the satan" and as the "word of satan" in the "heaven of satan", that is, to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as "separate from" the "Presence & Word of God" in the "Heaven of God", Here and Now, within your Light "Room" or Heart or Mind, that is, to Cure Himself of your current state, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you remove from Himself all of what is Now "separating God from God", all of which in truth is Now "you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, of "You" letting God Again discard from Himself "the satan", all of which in truth is Now "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is Now the "kingdom of the satan", the "heaven of the satan", within your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is Now "you" living 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, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  So in the End, if you like, Only God Is There within you, within your "Room" or Heart or Mind, as "One With", that is, as "The One" to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, for in truth this is the "Way of the Lord" of "John the Baptist" and of Jesus (peace be upon Them), over 2000 years ago, and this is the "Straight Path" of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, not "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if you are "separate from" God, and from Everyone and Everything.

Bawa.  That is, Not "you" living as an "Associate or Helper of God", when in truth "Wahdahu la sharik lahu" or "God is One without Associates to Him", that is, not "you" living as the "Enemy of the soul", not "you" living as the "child of darkness", not "you" living in truth as the "child of the satan", not "you" living in truth as the "form or manifestation of the satan", animated with your soul, living in the "heaven of the satan", which in truth is Now the illusory "outside" of you, which is Now "you" keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, day in and day out, moment by moment,
so "you can sin"
, So in truth "you" can continue to live your current illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness, of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, Until that is what you then get for eternity, Because "That Is What You Want".

Bawa.  So Start to Stop living like this, as "separate from" in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and Instead Come Sit with God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is,
come sit
with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us),
First
on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, come sit in the "Presence of God", and hear the "Word of God" as it "Comes from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So "You" too become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life.

Bawa.  So "You" too become the "Word of God made flesh", So "You" too become the "Door" and the "Way" for your age and for all life, "First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth, then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make "Your Life", and all life within you, that is, within God within you, if they like, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the life of your brothers and sisters, if they like, truly successfrul in your lifetime, as this child has Now learned to do.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life, and all life, truly successful in your lifetime, for in truth this is Now God's Promise, this is Now
God's Guarantee
for your age and for your life, if you like, that is,

          "If you are not there, God will be there"

Bawa.  For such is the true Exaltedness of Your Own Life, if you like, that is, if you will only First truly accept the Very Same Exaltedness within "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased", and Start to treat him accordingly.

Bawa.  Only then will any of My Children reach God, for as "We" taught My
Children when "We" were living in the world,

          "You will only find God within the Exaltedness of your own life".

Bawa.  And this is all any of My Children Now Need, that is, to truly learn how to make your own life Exalted, that is, by learning how "Not to be there, So God can be there", as this child has Now learned to do, not any of the current silliness all of My Children are currently doing, like "you" doing anything, not matter how exalted it might seem to be, for in truth it is all crazyness and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure.

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, while you can still do something about it, that is, please realize without the slightest doubt that this is all any of My Children Now Need, this truth about "God, and You, and the Creation of God", this truth of "Your Oneness", Now coming for the "Very Last Time" from God within all of My Children, that is, from the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), in whom "We are well pleased".

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, that this is all you Now Need, not anything that came before, in previous ages, and not anything that even truly came from God before in previous ages, for in truth, Now, for this age, for this age of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and Now for your life in this age, and for all of the lives Now within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the lives of your brothers and sisters, this is Now all you will Ever Need, if you like, that is, all you will Ever Need to truly become successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa. For the Choice is Now yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this
"
Last Grand Offer" of God, or not, and if you truly do, then to literally "Become It", that is, to become the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for all life, by truly accepting & sitting in the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for your life, or not, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, by joining as "One with" "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", or not, as often as you can, as much as you can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become "Our" dearest loving Son or Daughter, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", 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.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.

Bawa.  Here is Page 1 of 1 of the On-line Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter,
"
Spiritual Letter 137", which is a short little letter to My Dearest Loving Son Aaron Weiss, answering the following question that he asked of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

          "Is it proper for the disciple, when saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image
          that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the
          understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and
          to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but
          who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the
          disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  And a short little letter to His devoted mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza Weiss, and to all of My Children, that is, to all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), who in truth is Now everyone living in your age, if you like, a letter that you will find full of some Very Large Wisdom, if you are wise. Amen.

Bawa.  All of whom in truth, like each of My Children, is either My dearest loving
Son or My dearest loving Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers or actions of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you which in truth are the windows of your inner heart or Qalb, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can be seen, and understood, again, if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice whether any of "This Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.  Ok?.

Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children, to God within all of My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to
again become
"One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen.

Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and
Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Them, and with Us) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Amen

Bawa.  "We" have provided "Two Versions" of this "On-line Version" of "Spiritual Letter 136", one With and one Without an "Outline", and for the "With Outline" version "We" have provided "Two Outlines", both a "Brief Outline" and a "Longer Outline.

Bawa.  The "Brief Outline" gives you just enough of a description of each "Outline Topic" for you to "get the point", and the "Longer Outline" puts no restriction on the description of each "Outline Topic", letting the full description flow forth, which can be quite extensive and beautiful, if you read it entirely, especially if you read it with Bawa, giving Bawa Salams to Him and asking Him to teach you "What you do not know", which is how this child has Now learned to do everything.  Amen.

Bawa.  "We" have given this beautiful Spiritual Letter the following "Short Title" of,

"The True Disciple Is God Awakening To Himself,
Is Now "You, If You Like,
For In Truth The Choice Is Yours, God's"

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

Bawa.  Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu.  Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of
My Children
.  May God help all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  My Love You, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron (Weiss), and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza (Bitsy Weiss), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

Bawa.  You asked the question,

"Is it proper for the disciple, when saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  Again this is a very good question, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and gets this time at the very heart of the True Disciple, who in truth is God awakening to Himself, , who in truth "Is You', if you will only let Him, but this time within you, and how the True Disciple awakens to Himself, if you like, for in truth whether the True Disciple awakens to Himself, or not, but this time within you, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice. 

Bawa.  And your Choice that allows the True Disciple to awaken to Himself, that is, for "you" to become "You", is for you to Either "be there", Or to let God "be there", in Everything that God places before you, Not for "you" to "be there" better, or wiser, or, as you say in your question, Not for "you" to "be there",

"Dismissing the image that comes to your mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, or you dismissing the understanding in your mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, (or you doing anything)".

Bawa.  And Not for "you" to "be there", as you also say in your question,

"Accepting "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  In this way, your question Again is an example of the mind looking for something to do, or not to do, Not To Come To An End, because in truth it is all the same, it doesn't matter if "you" do something or stop doing something, it is all a "role for the mind", it all keeps you living as if you are "separate from" God, 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, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  A life of "separation and differences" that in truth just keeps nourishing all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, that is, with "your" every breath, with "your" every look, with  "your" every word, with "your" every taste, with "your" every thought, and with "your" every intention and action, that is, just keeps nourishing all of the lives of darkness and evil that Now rule over you through the 9 openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission".

Bawa.  When in truth the only thing that will allow the True Disciple to awaken to Himself, that is, for "you" become "You", is for "you" to end, that is, for "you" to join in partnership with God, that is, to become "One with" with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to become peaceful with "your" own Ending, that is, with "your" own Ending as "separate from", because of "Your Love" for God, because of your "Oneness with" God, that is, because of your growing "Oneness with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, because of an awakening New Life within your "old life", because of an awakening of the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness".  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  That is, because of the growing awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the Truth of God within you, and of the Truth of True Man within the Truth of God within you, that in truth "You" as the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God are in truth "God happening", that "You" in truth are the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God.

Bawa.  And within that, in truth God is the "Fruit of God" hidden within the "Tree of God", and as such in truth God is "True Man happening" within "God Happening", 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.  All of which naturally happens within you, when you Start to sit in the "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, letting the "Word of God" for your age and for your life awaken and nourish the True Disciple within God within you, that is, awaken and nourish the "You" within the "you, that is, awaken and nourish the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and in this way, with "you" beginning to realize, understand, accept, and join with the reality of "You", putting down the "falsehood" of "you", without the slightest doubt, that when this True Disciple within you, when this "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness" within you, comes to maturity within you, that He will literally "Pull you out of here", as He has Now pulled this child "out of here".

Bawa.  And this is why "you" say the Word "Bawa", as much as you can, whenever you can, to "Escape" from "you", not to give "you" something New to do, or something New to know, but Rather, to get "rid of you", to "destroy you", as "separate from", and to "Reveal You", as "One with", that is, to Again "Reveal God", but this time within you, that is, to Let God Again become God, but this time within you, that is, to Let God Again discard "the satan", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now done.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For example, like "you" becoming "You", like "you" becoming "One with" God, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, that is, before you pray, before you do salat, before you do the Zikr, before you do the Kalimah, before you do duty, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, for you to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God Start to End "you" as "separate from", and to Start to Begin "You" as "One with", Not for "you" Now as "separate from" to "Get Something", or to "Know or Understand Something", or to "Accomplish Something", using "you" as "separate from", using what in truth "God has discarded", to become God within you, for in truth, at every moment, Now and Forever, "La ilaha Ill Allahu", that is, "there is nothing other than God", that is, "you" as "separate from" do not exist, "You" are Allah.

Bawa.  And the value of the Life and Teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now in your life, and in the life of all of My Children, if you like, is to help "You" do that, Not to help "you" do that, that is, when you truly accept Him as such, when you  truly accept Him as Now the "Gift of God" for your age and for your life, that is, when you truly accept Him as Now "You" within "you", as Now "You happening" in your life, as Now "God happening" in your life, when you truly build your life around Him, when you truly make His Life, "Your Life", and His Words, "Your Words", and His Qualities and Actions, "Your Qualities and Actions", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, First to help you to truly "Die in God" Now, that is, to help you to truly End Now as "separate from", before you die to the flesh, before the "outside" of you is over, when your Ending Now is of Great Value to God within you, rather than for you to end later, when you ending is of no real value to you, or to anyone else, but in truth is just the ending of the dream of you, of the "outside" of you, revealing the eternal and "Very real but false" within of you, which in truth are the elemental spirits of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, that is, a demon, jinn, fairy, and a ghost, and Next become "your suffering" in the grave, and then "your" Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), if you are Not Wise, that is, if the "Child of Light" does not awaken and come to maturity within you, within the "child of darkness", before you die to the flesh

Bawa.  That is, First to help you to truly "Die in God" Now, by giving Life To Him, to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, which in truth is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, and then, Second to help you to truly "Be Born in God", by giving Life to God Within Him, by giving Life to God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, who in truth is the Nur Muhammad, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you.

Bawa.  That is, when "The Two Become One", that is, when you and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) become "One with" on the "outside" of you, allowing God within Him, that is, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, to disappear within the True Disciple within you, which is Now your Silent, Formless Soul within you, is Now the Secret One within you, is Now the "Silent One" within you, establishing the Triple Flame of God within you.

Bawa.  That is, to establish Now within you, if you like, the "Truth of You", and the "Truth of God" within the "Truth of You", all of which in truth is the "Shepherd and the Tree" within you [see Chapter 2, with the same Name, the "Shepherd and the Tree" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com).

Bawa.  And all of which in truth is the "Lotus Pond and the Tree In The Desert" within you [see Chapter 28, "The Tree In The Desert", and Chapter 29,
"The Lotus Pond" (www.SpiritualBook002.Chap29.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), all of which in truth is Again the Story of God, is Again the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice for you to use your life in this way, or not, that is, the Choice to use what God has given to you a very, very long time ago, that God has placed within you, ever So patiently, and ever So lovingly, in this way, or not, that is, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story, Again, but this time within you.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For if you do, if you join as "One with" God, to let "you" die in God, and to let "You" be born into God, then in truth this is Now "Who You Are", then in truth this is Now "Where You Are", and this in truth is Now "What Is Happening" in "Your Life", that is, "You Are God Happening Within God" with you, "You" are Now the Triple Flame of God, within God within you.

Bawa.  For if you do, if you use your life in this way, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, in partnership with God, with "You" becoming "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Start to Pray, to Start to do Duty, all of which is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, then You Will Be God's "Extraordinary Process", then within You,

"Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame.  Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process"

Bawa.  And in this way, My Dearest Loving Children,

"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true Gnana Guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher.  When you take refuge in such a Guru you will see God.  You become the Guru, disappearing in Him while the Guru disappears in God. Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame.  Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process".

Bawa.  So, "We" handed "your question" to Bawa within "Us", My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, saying the Word "Bawa", and "Escaped from you", and This Is What He said,

Bawa.  Yes, it is certainly proper for you do what you said, that is,

"When saying the word "Bawa", to dismiss the image that comes to his mind of an old man from Sri Lanka, to dismiss the understanding in his mind of all of the books and videos attributed to Bawa, and to accept "Bawa" (that is, "Father") as a light, a power who did not die in 1986 but who is still alive, who is living in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and inside of the disciple and all of creation?"

Bawa.  However, it would even be more valuable for your life, and for the life of all of your brothers and sisters, to strengthen your faith and trust in God, and only in God, and to give all Responsibility for your life to God and only to God, a life which Now includes "everything" that has grown within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, which in truth is "your bank" and within that "your prayer", all of which is "everything" that God has discarded, in order to become God within you.

Bawa.  But This Is Not All That "You Are", for in truth You Also Include God within you, and Everything that is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" within Everything "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.

Bawa. And this is Now Also "Who You Are", in addition to what has Now grown within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, and Now "The Choice Is Yours", that is, which of these "Two Definitions" of "Who you are", One True the other false, One Given to you By God, the other given to you by "your parents", will you Now claim as "Who you are", for in truth "You cannot have both", as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe, and in truth "The Choice" is Now yours, not God's, and that is for sure, Again as My Children Still Mistakenly Believe.

Bawa.  So Please Choose Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, and Please Choose Wisely, Please Choose Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Rather than "you", for in truth this is why you Now have Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), at least for a little while, until He too leaves the world, as "We" did before Him, that is, for "You To Make This Choice", that is, between "God or you".  It is truly this simple.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  For in truth "You Also Include", as part of "Who you are", and as a part of "Where you are", and as a part of "What is happening" in you life, God within you, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is within God within you, and None of This is Now In your "room" or heart or mind, But all of This is Now within a Tiny Piece of Flesh within you, no bigger than an atom, just waiting to be revealed.

Bawa.  That is, just waiting to grow into the "Tree of God", and bear the "Fruit of God", and reveal the "Sweet Taste of God", if you like, like the apple tree and all of its branches and flowers and fruits, and sweet taste, are all hidden within a Tiny Piece of the Apple Seed, no bigger than an atom, just waiting to happen, just waiting for the apple seed to germinate, just waiting for the apple seed to realize, understand, accept, and join with the Truth hidden within it, if it likes, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate to the truth hidden within themselves, instead some rot in the earth, die in the earth, and then take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the Oneness of the Apple Tree, Its Fruits, Its Taste, and of the Apple Seed.  Something to think about a little, Yes?.

Bawa.  So this is the Other Part of You, the "God Part of You", the Part of You that God has Now given you, for your age and for your life, if you like, Not the "shirt part of you", not the part that your parents gave to you, by rolling around on a bed like snakes, Not the part that has Now become "you" as "separate from", that has Now become the "child of darkness", that has Now become "the form" of "the satan", that is, has Now become the "Enemy of the soul", in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance.

Bawa.  Not the part that has Now in truth become "your bank", that has become your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which is a bank of "separation and differences", First on the "outside" of you and Now within you, that is, of "I and you", of "mine and yours, of selfishness and sin, and Not the part that has Now become "your prayer", your prayers of "separation and differences", of drama, of selfishness.

Bawa.  And Everything that is Now within God within you, is just waiting for you to Claim and Start to Use, all of which in truth is "God's Bank" within God within you, and within that is "God's Prayer" within God within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", all of which in truth is Now Also "Who You Are", and "Where You Are", and "What is Happening" in your life, and is Now just waiting for you to Claim, to Claim as "Your Birthright", as "Your Heritage", as the "True Destiny of your soul", if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to claim "God's Bank", and within that "God's Prayer", as Now "Your Bank", and as Now "Your Prayer", in partnership with God within you, as "One with" God within you, as Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, for Again, the Choice is yours, not God's.  Amen. OK?.

Bawa.  And you can Now Do This, each of My Children can Now Do This, by simply joining as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, which for your age and for your life is Now you simply joining as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to learn How to Start Withdrawing from "God's Bank", within God within you, and How to Stop Withdrawing from "your bank" within you, and within that, by learning How to Start saying "God's Prayer", within God within you, and How to Stop saying all of "your prayers".

Bawa.  And this is Now the "Gift of God" for your age and for your life, for the life of all of My Children, this is what God has Now given you, this is what God has Now give all of My Children, if you like, and if you truly accept it as such, with faith and trust in God, not in the Gift, then God will do Everything Else to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, and that is "God's Promise", that is "God's Guarantee" for your age and for you life.

Bawa.  But You must do Your Part, and that is for You to Start to use it as such, which is Now you joining as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as much as you can, as often as you can, in Everything that God places before you, if you like.

Bawa.  For in truth all of the Creation of God Is Now living within you, within your heart of darkness and evil, that is, within your "room" or heart or mind, and is just waiting to Stand in "God's Presence" of "Oneness & Unity", of "Justice and Truth", and of "Compassion and Unity", and hear "God's Word" of Truth and Light for your age and for your life, Rather than being forced to stand in "your presence" of "separation and differences" and hear "your words" of arrogance, karma, and illusion, and falsehood, all of which is Now their current fate, and Now your current life, this "deadly embrace", this drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" that has Now become your life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, and has Now become their life of darkness and evil within you, within your "room" or heart or mind, and this is Now the Truth of you, and of them within you.

Bawa.  So Please Stop Leading All of Us To Hell, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and all of My Children, that is, please Stop leading all of "us" within you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and Instead Please Give Us Our Freedom, Please Let Us Escape from your "room" or heart or mind, by joining Now as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.  Please do this "Hearts Work" Now as "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, while you still can, while "we" can still escape from the "suffering of the grave", and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) that you are Now leading all of "us" to.  Please do it Now.

Bawa.  This is what you must Now Do With Your Life, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, and all of My Children, So Everything within you, which in truth is "All of Us", and All of Creation, can come to Judgment and Salvation Now, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, before you die to the flesh, before the illusory "outside" of you are over, So Everything within you can become the "Body of Truth" or Qalb or "Crystal Heart" within you, if they like, So Everything within you can become the "Kingdom of God" within your Qalb or "Crystal Heart", if they like, So Everything within you can merge and again become "One with" God, within God within you, if you like.

Bawa.  For in truth before Everything within you can have this Choice, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you, Either as "One with" Or as "separate from" God within you, you have to make Your Choice, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you, Either as "One with" Or as "separate from" God within you, a Choice which My Children in truth have Yet To Make.

Bawa.  For To Truly Make This Choice, Now in your lifetime, while you still can, You Must Truly Accept "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", As That Choice, that is, as "How You Make This Choice", not any of the current silliness that My Children are Now doing, that is, to Truly Accept Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now this "Final Gift of God" for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now the Final "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, as Now the Final "Word of God" for your age and for your life, and in truth as Now The Next You, and truly Start to treat Him accordingly.

Bawa.  That is, for all of My Children to truly Start to build your life around Him, around the Life and His Teachings of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order for you to truly learn How To fall into Him, that is, to fall into the "Truth and Light" of God for your age and for your life, or at least to Truly Start To Fall Into Him, before you die to the flesh, So God can then Do Everything Else Necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  Please Do It Like This, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, and get all of your brothers and sisters, which in truth is Everyone Now living in your age, To Do The Same, that is, by saying the Word "Bawa" before you do, whenever you can, as much as you can, with Faith and Trust In God, Not in Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), giving all Responsibility To God, Not to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), allowing God and Only God "To be Present", and "To Be Speaking", Not you, Not your brothers and sisters, and Not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), allowing God and Only God to move forward His Story, but this time within you, but this time within each of My Children, if you like, that is, to move forward the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", which in truth "Is You".

Bawa.  A Story that in truth you have come here to tell, and to bring to Completion, but this time within you, if you like, that is, a Story that you have come here Join as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to tell and bring to Completion, if you like, 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.  Please do it like this, My Dearest Loving Children.  This is Now the correct thing for you to do.  Please try.  Or at least truly think about it a little, for in truth there is No Other Way, no other way to truly become successful in your lifetime.  Amen. Ok"

Bawa.  Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the heart) to your mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza, and to your father and My Dearest Loving Son Elliot, and to all of your family and friends.  Please tell them that Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa.  May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of My Children.  May God help all of My Children. Amen.

Bawa.  My love you, My dearest loving Son Aaron, and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza, and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

About The "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"

Bawa.  If you would like to be added to the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"
please sent "Us" your request to either of the following E-mail addresses: "
Bawa786@aol.com" or "Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com", and please put the following as the E-mail Subject: "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List - Please add my name to your list". 

Bawa.  And if you like (optional), then in the body or "Text of the E-mail" please tell "Us" a little bit about yourself, if you like, that is, about your life in the world, and of the world within you, which in truth is your life in the "presence of the satan", which in truth is your "mind and desire", which in truth is your current life of falsehood and darkness, and about your life in the "Presence of God", which in truth is your wisdom, which in truth is your "Next Life", Here and Now, of Truth and Light, if you like, for in truth The Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to continue living as the "presence of the satan" or to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God", Here and Now.

Bawa.  And about how best "We" can join with you in this "Grand Endeavor",
that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "you" becoming "You"
, that is, of "You" moving from "your falsehood and darkness" to "Your Truth and Light", Here and Now, that is, of "You" moving from being the "presence of the satan" and the "word of satan", to becoming the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God", Here and Now. 

Bawa.  For example, by "Us" sitting together at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship (always the very best way), letting Bawa "Cure Himself of us" or by "Us" Instant Messaging in "God's Presence", or by "Us" talking on the Phone in "God's Presence", that is, for "Us" to do as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told "Us" to do, over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) also told "Us" to do over 1400 years ago, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) also told "Us" to do over 1000 years ago, and Now in "Our" age as
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) has Again told "Us" to do, and "Right Now" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
is Again telling "Us" to do
, that is,

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

Bawa.  That is, to sit in the "Presence of God" in this "Grand Endeavor", that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" Letting God Again Happen, but this time within you, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God Again become One with God, but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again.

Bawa.  That is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as the "presence of the satan" and as the "word of satan" in the "heaven of satan", that is, to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as "separate from" the "Presence & Word of God" in the "Heaven of God", Here and Now, within your Light "Room" or Heart or Mind, that is, to Cure Himself of your current state, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you remove from Himself all of what is Now "separating God from God", all of which in truth is Now "you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, of "You" letting God Again discard from Himself "the satan", all of which in truth is Now "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is Now the "kingdom of the satan", the "heaven of the satan", within your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is Now "you" living 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, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  So in the End, if you like, Only God Is There within you, within your "Room" or Heart or Mind, as "One With", that is, as "The One" to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, for in truth this is the "Way of the Lord" of "John the Baptist" and of Jesus (peace be upon Them), over 2000 years ago, and this is the "Straight Path" of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, not "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if you are "separate from" God, and from Everyone and Everything.

Bawa.  That is, Not "you" living as an "Associate or Helper of God", when in truth "Wahdahu la sharik lahu" or "God is One without Associates to Him", that is, not "you" living as the "Enemy of the soul", not "you" living as the "child of darkness", not "you" living in truth as the "child of the satan", not "you" living in truth as the "form or manifestation of the satan", animated with your soul, living in the "heaven of the satan", which in truth is Now the illusory "outside" of you, which is Now "you" keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, day in and day out, moment by moment,
so "you can sin"
, So in truth "you" can continue to live your current illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness, of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, Until that is what you then get for eternity, Because "That Is What You Want".

Bawa.  So Start to Stop living like this, as "separate from" in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and Instead Come Sit with God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is,
come sit
with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us),
First
on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, come sit in the "Presence of God", and hear the "Word of God" as it "Comes from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So "You" too become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life.

Bawa.  So "You" too become the "Word of God made flesh", So "You" too become the "Door" and the "Way" for your age and for all life, "First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth, then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make "Your Life", and all life within you, that is, within God within you, if they like, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the life of your brothers and sisters, if they like, truly successfrul in your lifetime, as this child has Now learned to do.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life, and all life, truly successful in your lifetime, for in truth this is Now God's Promise, this is Now
God's Guarantee
for your age and for your life, if you like, that is,

          "If you are not there, God will be there"

Bawa.  For such is the true Exaltedness of Your Own Life, if you like, that is, if you will only First truly accept the Very Same Exaltedness within "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased", and Start to treat him accordingly.

Bawa.  Only then will any of My Children reach God, for as "We" taught My
Children when "We" were living in the world,

          "You will only find God within the Exaltedness of your own life".

Bawa.  And this is all any of My Children Now Need, that is, to truly learn how to make your own life Exalted, that is, by learning how "Not to be there, So God can be there", as this child has Now learned to do, not any of the current silliness all of My Children are currently doing, like "you" doing anything, not matter how exalted it might seem to be, for in truth it is all crazyness and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure.

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, while you can still do something about it, that is, please realize without the slightest doubt that this is all any of My Children Now Need, this truth about "God, and You, and the Creation of God", this truth of "Your Oneness", Now coming for the "Very Last Time" from God within all of My Children, that is, from the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), in whom "We are well pleased".

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, that this is all you Now Need, not anything that came before, in previous ages, and not anything that even truly came from God before in previous ages, for in truth, Now, for this age, for this age of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and Now for your life in this age, and for all of the lives Now within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the lives of your brothers and sisters, this is Now all you will Ever Need, if you like, that is, all you will Ever Need to truly become successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa. For the Choice is Now yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this
"
Last Grand Offer" of God, or not, and if you truly do, then to literally "Become It", that is, to become the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for all life, by truly accepting & sitting in the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for your life, or not, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, by joining as "One with" "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", or not, as often as you can, as much as you can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become "Our" dearest loving Son or Daughter, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", 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.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.
