Understanding Your Ancestral Home & Life - which is the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship" and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within it, that is, which is the "Mosque of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) leading prayers facing the Mazar of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within "You" and for a little while on the "outside" of you. That is, within you as what is truly within "You", that is, as the "Palace of the soul", as the "House of wisdom", as the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of "Us", as what is truly on the "outside" of "You", as the House and Mosque at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and as the Mazar or Shrine of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). And the One who truly lives within "You", within this Home and Mosque and Mazar within God within you, who truly lives within "You", as the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within each of My Children, and for a little while, as the One who truly lives on the "outside" of you, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), which is those of My Children who are now truly living again at the Feet of God for your age, which is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in whom "We are well pleased". Amen 3. Your True Birth Right, Heritage, And Lineage - which in truth, is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and True Man within God within "Us", and again You, if you like, as the Deen or Din within the Deen or Din. Which in truth is "you" within "Us" as "Us happening" again within "Us", within God within you, if you like, that is, if "you" accept "Us" as such, within you as such, as now "you", and start to use "Us" within you as such, as the "Understanding of Us" within you. Which in truth is "Us" within you as "God happening" again within God within you, as "God's Bank" and within that as "God's Prayer", all happening again within "Us" within God within you, which is now "you", if "We" like, that is, if "We" accept you as such, and pull you into "Us" as such, but this time as the "Understanding of God" within "Us" within you. Which in truth is God within "Us", as "True Man happening" again within True Man within God, as "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and within that as "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer", if God likes, that is, if "God" accept "Us" as such, and pull "Us" into God as such, but this time as the "Understanding of True Man" within God. Which in truth is "You" within you, as the "Deen or Din happening" again within the Deen or Din, as the understanding of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within the "Power within the Essence of Everything", all happening again within You, if You like, that is, if "You" accept "you" as such, as the "Representative of God" for all of the Creation of God, within God and within Man, and as such, pull "you" into "You" as such, but this time as the Complete Answer to the Question, "Who am I?", that You asked of God in Anathi, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within You and within God within You, if you like, that is, if My Children like, for in truth nothing New can happen within My Children unless you realize, understand, accept, and you truly join with what is New within you, which is "Us" within you, unless you become "One with" what is New within you, with "Us" within you, so what is New can come forward within you, and what is old can leave you, that is, so what is New can take "You" to God within you, if you now become "One with" it, before the End, that is, now becoming "One with" what is New within you, as you have already become "one with" what is old within you, and which is now dragging "you" to hell within you, if you don't wise up. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 4-0. So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? 4-1. The Good And The Bad Grasshopper - is the true Choice in your life, that is, to ether become the "Calming Influence of God" in all lives, or become the swarm of locust that in the End, destroys all lives, and the Choice is yours, not God's 4-2. The Path of The "One Good Grasshopper" - For Your Age, that is, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, becoming "Your Judgment", if you like, and "Your Salvation" if you like, as the "Word of God" for your age, as the "Word of God made flesh" for your age, as the "Door" or "The Way" for your age, 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) in this way, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, is most certainly your Choice, not "Our Choice" within you, and not "God's Choice" within "Us" within you, and certainly not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's Choice (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), either within you, or for a little while on the "outside" of you. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-0. Again, So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? 5-1. Bawa's Answer - because the apple seed becomes aware of "Who it is", of "Where it is", and of "What is truly happening" in its life, and because the earth becomes aware that the apple seed buried within it, is now aware of "Who it is", of "Where it is", and of "What is truly happening" in its life, and because out of this "Mutual Awareness" the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and this is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness and mutual surrender, not because of any influence of the 5 elements, of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, as My Children still mistakenly believe 5-2. So Who Is Going To Harvest You? - either "Us" or "The Beast", for in the End, you will most certainly be harvested, by the One who claims you as "His property", either by the one who grew on you, or by the One who "Grew His Crop" within you, depending upon what you have become, in the End, either a "wild place", or the "Farmer's Crop". For example, a wheat seed becomes a "wheat crop" that has been grown by the farmer, or the field becomes a "wild place" growing unaided out of the earth, planted and grown by the air, and water, and fire, and nourished by the wind and rain, but either way, the field or the wheat seed is harvested, with the field being plowed under with the plow, and the "wheat crop" being harvested by the Farmer, with the Farmer taking "His property" to the market, so "Who is going to harvest you?", the plow or the Farmer, and the Choice is yours, not the farmer's, not the plow's, and not God's - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-3. What Is Your Current Mode of Transportation? - either "The Ship of The Qutb" or "An Express Train To Hell", for in truth there is nothing else now available for you, whether you know it or not, and even whether you life or want it or not, because now for your age, this is what God has now made available for you, not anything else that God may have provided in previous ages, like a nice place in heaven for you and your family. Please know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, start to act as "One with" God within you, and in this way, and only in this way, become a passenger on the "Ship of the Qutb" within you, and for a little while, of the "Ship of The Qutb" now on the "outside" of you, which now is the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. 5-4. The Mind Is Always Sleeping - and while it does, while "The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while the Triple Flame of God within you, the Qutb of God within you, that is, the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God joined as "One" within you, go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings" within you, this is wisdom, this is the "Path of God" within you, this is the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul in search of God within you, not any of the silliness you are currently doing on the illusory "outside" of you. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-5. Understand The Significance of What Is Within You - like the "Black Snake" that has swallowed you, the "Four Destructive Women" you have married, and the "Four False Guru" that you have become, and what they become in "God's Hand' within you, which is the "One True Guru", and the "True Wife of the Soul", and the Jonah (peace be upon Him) having been spit out of the whale 5-6. Understand Your Current Station - if you like, as the "Opposite of the Guru", as the "Contrast to the Guru", as the "Dream of the Qutb", as what The Qutb dreamed so He could finish what He started within you, which is to answer the Question, at the 6th level of wisdom, God asked of God in Anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?" 5-7. So An Apple Seed Germinates Because of Awareness - not because of the influence of the 5 elements, not because of the influence of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, and this is the truth, not as My Children still mistakenly believe - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 6. Now Is The Time To "Make A Choice" - not after you die to the flesh, as you and My Children still mistakenly believe, to your peril, that is, now is the time to Choose how you will spend eternity, either as "One with" God within you, or as "separate from" God within you, and in truth "There is no other Choice", for everything else that you might call a Choice, is not really a Choice, is just the drama of your mind and desire, and in the End, will only lead you to the same place, that is, to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and this is the truth 7. You Have The "Keys To The Kabah" - Or To Hell, if you like, that is, the keys to open within your very own heart all of the wealth or Rahmat of Allah, or all the wealth of satan of the discard one, who in the End, with "his property", goes to hell, goes to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is yours, not God. That is, either the wealth of the Three World, of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, that is, the wealth of the world of souls, this earth world, and the hereafter, if you like, which in truth is "Who you are", again if you like, so you can then transcend it, which is also then "Who you are", or an eternal life as "separate from" God, with you taking on 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 7-1. The Name of God For Your Age - if you like, is the name of the life and teaching of God for your age, which for your age, is the name and life of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is now, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, so Stop being the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us) worshipping Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, and instead, become Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) and Begin to truly worship God within you. Amen. Ok? 8. None of What Came Before Is Now Appropriate - if you like, so join in partnership with God within you, to "Empty the Cup", that is, join in partnership with God within you to put down completely, everything that came before, including you and all of your stuff, or you cannot truly pick "Us" up, and put "you" down, either within you, and for a little while more, on the "outside". Please know this without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, so God within you, can then "Make it So" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, if they like. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to "Introduction" 9. You And God Are One - if you like, and this is the direction, and the only direction, that will lead you to God within you, that is, the direction that you must now step in, that is, of "One with", both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, without the slightest doubt, if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, and "The Beast" has his way with you, dragging you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, not because of anything that "We" within you did, or failed to do, or that God within "Us" did or failed to do, but rather, because that is "what you want", because that is what you told God, over and over again, that you wanted for eternity, by the way you lived your life in the world, that is, as "separate from", not by your words about "One with", that were never reflected in your actions, that is, if you don't become wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late. Ok? 10.

Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. 2. Understanding Your Ancestral Home & Life - which is the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship" and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within it, which is the Mosque of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) leading prayers facing the Mazar of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within "You" and for a little while on the "outside" of you. All of which in truth is both within "You" and what is truly living within "You", that is, is the "Palace of the soul", is the "House of wisdom", is the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of "Us", is the House and Mosque at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. And the One who truly lives within "You", within this Home and Mosque within God within you, is the One who truly lives within "You", as the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within each of My Children, and for a little while, is also the One who truly lives on the "outside" of you, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), that is, as those of My Children who are now living at the Feet of God for your age, which is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in whom "We are well pleased". Amen Bawa.

Bawa. That is, of wisdom sharing at the feet of God for "Our" age, in the "Presence of God" within "Us", listing to "God Speak" from within "Us" to all of His Creations within "Us", and for a little while, to all of "Our" dearest loving brothers and sisters, who had also gathered together in "Bawa's Room" to "Hear Bawa Speak", for the benefit of all of "His Children". Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Such is the truth of your life, and the truth of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, for the Choice to view Them as such, is your Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to view both "you", and your brothers and sisters, that is, to view My Children, and the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as such, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice, that is, not "Our" Choice within you, or God's Choice within you, and not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), either within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, that is, as "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. For as "We" told you while "We" were in the world, "I didn't give you homes to live in, but rather to sleep in. So live at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as "Much as your can", as "Often as you can", and just use these other homes, these other houses, to sleep in". "That would be Good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and Good for all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, Good for all of your brothers and sisters in the world. Ok?" Bawa. So please do it like this, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, and My dearest loving sister Habiba, who in truth are My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Them, and with Us), if you like. 3. Your True Birth Right, Heritage, And Lineage - which in truth, is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and True Man within God within "Us", and again You, if you like, as the Deen or Din within the Deen or Din. Which in truth is "you" within "Us" as "Us happening" again within "Us", within God within you, if you like, that is, if "you" accept "Us" as such, within you as such, as now "you", and start to use "Us" within you as such, as the "Understanding of Us" within you. Which in truth is "Us" within you as "God happening" again within God within you, as "God's Bank" and within that as "God's Prayer", all happening again within "Us" within God within you, which is now "you", if "We" like, that is, if "We" accept you, and pull you into "Us" as such, but this time as the "Understanding of God" within "Us" within you. Which in truth is God within "Us", as "True Man happening" again within True Man within God, as "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and within that as "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer", if God likes, that is, if "God" accept "Us", and pull "Us" into God as such, but this time as the "Understanding of True Man" within God. Which in truth is "You" within you, as the "Deen or Din happening" again within the Deen or Din, as the understanding of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within the "Power within the Essence of Everything", all happening again within You, if You like, that is, if "You" accept "you" as such, as the "Representative of God" for all of the Creation of God, within God and within Man, and as such, pull "you" into "You" as such, but this time as the Complete Answer to the Question, "Who am I?", that You asked of God in Anathi, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within You and within God within You, if you like, that is, if My Children like, for in truth nothing New can happen within My Children unless you realize, understand, accept, and truly join with what is New within you, which is "Us" within you, unless you become "One with" what is New within you, with "Us" within you, so what is New can come forward within you, and what is old can leave you, that is, so what is New can take "You" to God within you, if you now become "One with" it, before the End, that is, now becoming "One with" what is New within you, as you have already become "one with" what is old within you, and which is now dragging "you" to hell within you. Ok? Bawa. For in truth each of My Children are "Us happening" within "Us", if you like, as in truth "We" are in truth "God happening" within God, if "We" like, and in truth God is "True Man happening" within True Man, if God likes, and True Man is the "Deen or Din happening" within the Deen or Din, if You like, that is, if each of My Children likes, for in truth you are the King Pin of the whole process of this happening within you, for without your joining this "Extraordinary Process", as "One with" it, nothing can happen. Bawa. And if "nothing happens" within you, then the "No-thing" cannot happen within you, for in truth God is the No-thing, and you, and all of My Children are the "Understanding of the No-thing", if you like, the "Understanding of the Oneness of God and True Man", and "We" are that Story, that is, "We" are the Story that will reveal this Understanding, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to this earth world, to join with God within the Creation of God, to tell, if you like, that is, if you will only "Let Us" finish telling and bring to Completion this Story, that is,, if you will only "Join Us", if you will only let the Deen within the Deen occur again, but this time within you, as the Understanding of the Power within the Essence of Everything, so in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", so in the End, there is nothing within you still "separating God" from God within you. Amen. Bawa. And this is most certainly the truth of you, of "Us" within you, and of God within "Us", and of True Man within God, and of You, that is, of all of My Children, that is, the truth of "You", and the truth of God within "You", just waiting to happen within "Us" within you, and within God within "Us", just waiting to germinate. Ok? Bawa. All of which is like the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that God has placed on the "outside" of you as an Example, as an Example on the "outside" of you of what you have to do within you, in partnership with God within you, that is, to reveal the Tree, and Fruits, and Sweet Taste of God within you, and again the "Seed of God" within you, but this time a 1000 fold. Bawa For example, the apple seed buried within the earth, and the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within earth, is just waiting to happen, is just waiting to happen again, that is, is just waiting to happen as the apple tree, and the apple fruits of that tree, and the sweet taste within these ripened apple fruits, revealing again the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold, that is, if the apple seed buried within the earth will just germinate. Ok? 4. So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? Bawa. So why does the apple seed germinate? Bawa. A very, very good question Grasshopper. Yes? 4-1. The Good And The Bad Grasshopper - is the true Choice in your life, that is, to ether become the "Calming Influence of God" in all lives, or become the swarm of locust that in the End, destroys all lives, and the Choice is yours, not God's Bawa. Yes, "Grasshopper" for in truth within each of you is both the "Good" and the "bad" Grasshopper, with the "bad grasshopper", through your mind and desire, that is, through a life of ignorance and of arrogance about its ignorance, a life of selfishness, s life of sin, that is, a life of "separation from", gradually becoming a "swarm of locust" that destroy the whole world, that is, that literally destroy everything in the world by eating it, by devouring it. Bawa. With the "Good Grasshopper", through wisdom, through the "Presence of God" within him, saying "No", first to the life of the "bad grasshopper", and eventually to the swarm of locust, and instead becomes the "Calming Influence" of God, both to the "bad grasshopper", and in the end, to the swarm of locust, until the very End, sacrificing his very life and limb for the other grasshoppers, to return then to a good state, and then, to pull them back into Himself, from which they have all come, back into Himself as Himself, as the understanding of "Who He Is", that is, the understanding of the "One Good Grasshopper" for his age. Bawa. This is the "Good Grasshopper", the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), if you like, that is, with you joining in partnership with God within yourself, and with what is "Within God" within yourself, and with what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within yourself, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, with you gradually falling into "This" as "Who You Are", and as "Where You Are", and as "What is happening" in your life, that is, rather than you continuing to live the life of that you have now joined, that you have now become, that now defines you on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. Rather than you joining with the "bad grasshoppers" and their life of "self worship", that is, their life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, mind and desire, their life of "separation and differences", their life of "I and you", of "mine and yours", which is now your life, and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. This is the "Good" and the "bad" Grasshopper within each of My Children, that God has placed within each of My Children, so you could Choose, so you could decide what you want for eternity, Choosing either an eternal life as "One with" God within you, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is most certainly yours, not God's, and there are only these two Choices, that is, God or hell, not three Choices, not "God, heaven, or hell", as My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything other than these two Choices, no matter what you may call it, like heaven, is still hell, is still an eternal life as "separate from" God, for in truth, hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God, and even worse, that you have separated yourself from Yourself, from Truth of You. Ok? Bawa. And this is the "Good Grasshopper", the "Calming Influence" of God upon all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, upon all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, that is, rather than the path of the "bad grasshopper" and its path of destruction, of destruction to itself and of everything else that it can destroy, becoming in the End, "one with" the swarm of Locust, and in this state, joining in on and contributing to the final destruction of everything, as you and My Children are quickly becoming, Grasshopper, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and learn to fall into, to become "One with", the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age. 4-2. The Path of The "One Good Grasshopper" - For Your Age, that is, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, allowing God to "Do Everything Else", necessary to make his life truly successful in his lifetime. Amen. Bawa. This is the path of the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, Returns To The State Of The "Helpful Grasshopper", Improving The Condition Of The "Flower Garden" In Whatever Way You Can, And In This Way, And Only In This Way In This Peaceful State Of Helping Everyone, "As Best As You Can", And of Trusting In God For Everything Else, You Gradually Start To Carefully Observe And Begin To Emulate The Example of The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, Of The One Among You Who Truly Brought You Back To Calmness, Gradually Falling Into Him as "Who You Are", And In This Way, And Only In This Way, Truly Become The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, For The Benefit Of All Of "Us", In This Word And The Next Amen. Ok?" Bawa. Such is the path to the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, first by saying "No" to the path of the "bad grasshopper", the path of selfishness, of "sin", of living on the illusory "outside" of yourself 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 you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And saying "No" to where all "bad grasshoppers" end up, which in the End, is the destructive swarm of locust, harvesting everything for hell, for an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. And second, by returning to a "helpful state" in the world, that is, by using the Qualities and Actions of God as your guide, as the "Ideals of God" for your age, as given to you by God for our age, start joining in partnership with God within you to do the "very best you can" in everything God places before you, trusting in God for everything else, and in this way, using God to get to God within you, gradually learning to hand back to God everything God has handed to you, after establishing the "Presence of God" within you Bawa. That is, by saying the Name of God for your age, which for your age is the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), saying it before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, and then, after briefly reflecting upon what God has placed before you, hand it all back to God within you, and then "Be Done With It", saying to God within you, "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next?" Bawa. That is, "Return To The State Of The "Helpful Grasshopper", Improving The Condition Of The "Flower Garden" In Whatever Way You Can, And In This Way, And Only In This Way In This Peaceful State Of Helping Everyone, "As Best As You Can", And of Trusting In God For Everything Else", (you are now ready to start the next step) Bawa. And third, that is, Gradually Start To Carefully Observe And Begin To Emulate The Example of The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, Of The One Among You Who Truly Brought You Back To Calmness, Gradually Falling Into Him as "Who You Are", And In This Way, And Only In This Way, Truly Become The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, For The Benefit Of All Of "Us", In This Word And The Next, If You Like, For The Choice is Yours, Not God's. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, become the "One Good Grasshopper" for his age, and in this way, become the "Calming Influence" on all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, of all of your brothers and sisters, who are quickly turning into Locust, preparing for the swarm of destruction, that is now quickly becoming your fate, that is, if you are not wise, if you do not wise up before it is too late, and start to join in the "Heart Work" of the "One Good Grasshopper". Ok? Bawa. That is, by joining as "One with" the "One Good Grasshopper" to feel his calming influence, on you and on everyone else, and then through his example of being the "One Good Grasshopper", day in and day out, at the place or home of the "One Good Grasshoppers", which in truth is your true "Ancestral Home", the true "Ancestral Home" of all of My Children, or the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, learn to fall into the "One Good Grasshopper", that is, to become "One with" Him, and in this way, and only in this way, become the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age. Bawa. And so it can spread, Grasshopper to Grasshopper, until all Locust "Want a bees" become the "One Good Grasshoppers" for your age , and "Us", and God within "Us", are very pleased, because now "We" can finish "Our" work within each of My Children, now as "One with" you, ending the illusory "outside" of you, and harvesting the current "very real but false" inside of you, revealing the "True Inside" of "Us", and in this way, and only in this way, revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters still living in the world. Ok? 5. Again, Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? Bawa. So why does an apple seed germinate? 5-1. Bawa's Answer To Bawa's Question - "An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, it becomes aware that it is buried within the earth, and it becomes aware that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity ....and that is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness, not through any influence of the 5 elements, as you propose", and as you and My Children still mistakenly believe, to your peril Bawa. "We" gave you the following beautiful answer toe this question, "Why does an apple seed germinate?", while "We" were in the world, during month of "Ramadan for 1a986", right before "We" left the world. Beginning of Answer "Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate?" By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Source: Ramadan 1986 Tapes Bawa. One day "In The Room" Bawa asked us a question, He asked us, "Why does an apple seed germinate? Bawa. Many brothers and sisters "In the Room" proposed an answer, but all of the answers had to do, in one way or another, with the 5 elements, that is, with earth, fire, water, air, and ether, that make up the body of man. Bawa. And then, after listening to each of the answers offered by His Children, Bawa smiled at us and said, "No, My Children, that is not why an apple seed germinates". Bawa. And then Bawa told His Children the following: "An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity. And then the earth becomes aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed, and that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity. And then out of this "mutual awareness", the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and that is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness, not through any influence of the 5 elements, as you propose. In this way, you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and hidden within that is the "Tree of God" ready to be revealed, and within that are all of the Branches, Flowers, and Fruits of God hidden within the "Tree of God", also ready to be revealed, and within that, within each of those mature apple fruits is the "Sweet taste of God" of God also ready to be revealed, and within that, within that "Sweet Taste of God" within each "Fruit of God" is again the "Apple Seed", but this time a 1000 fold. But for any of this to happen within you, you must awaken to "This Reality" within you, without the slightest doubt, and place all of your faith and trust in God within you, that this is "Your reason", that this is "Your purpose", that is, what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, by telling and bringing to Completion His Story within you, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, a Story that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to truly join in partnership with God within you, in order to truly place all of your faith and trust and love in God within you, and not in anything else, that is, the Choice to turn away from "your presence", and "your intention", and "your story" on the illusory "outside" of you and to embrace your "Ancestral Home", which is the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, and to embrace your "Ancestral Life", which is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, is most certainly your Choice, not God's. Amen". End of Answer "Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate?" By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Bawa. A beautiful wisdom filled explanation of your life, and of the life within your life, and of the life within that, that you and all of My Children should come together to listen to, over, and over again, and hold meetings about, and discuss deep into the evening hours, and then even up to morning prayers, if you like. 5-2. So Who Is Going To Harvest You? - either "Us" or "The Beast", for in the End, you will most certainly be harvested, by the One who claims you as "His property", either by the one who grew on you, or by the One who "Grew His Crop" within you, depending upon what you have become, in the End, either a "wild place", or the "Farmer's Crop". For example, a wheat seed becomes a "wheat crop" that has been grown by the farmer, or the field becomes a "wild place" growing unaided out of the earth, planted and grown by the air, and water, and fire, and nourished by the wind and rain, but either way, the field or the wheat seed is harvested, with the field being plowed under with the plow, and the "wheat crop" being harvested by the Farmer, with the Farmer taking "His property" to the market, so "Who is going to harvest you?", the plow or the Farmer, and the Choice is yours, not the farmer's, not the plow's, and not God's Bawa. Such is your Choice, to germinate or not, for like all apple seeds, not all people germinate to the truth of themselves, and of what God has hidden within them, but the "Tree" and "Fruit" and "Sweet Taste" of God would be a very "Good Way" to use your life up, that is, as "Our Life" within you, if you like, that is, as "Our Life happening" within you, rather than ending up with the same fate as the apple seeds that "fail to germinate", that is rotting in the earth of your mind, and taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", never again as the Story of God, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God within you, to tell. Ok? Bawa. That is, rather than what you are currently doing with your life, that is, turning it into "your life", that is, into "your life" which in truth is quickly coming to an end, one way or another, on the illusory "outside" of you, and within the "very real but false" inside of you, for in the End, which is very, very near, someone is going to harvest you and take you with them, that is for sure, the only question left is who? Bawa. And there are only two possible answers to this question, First God within you harvests "You" and takes "You" to the Kingdom of God within you, after you have joined with God within you, that is, as "One with" God within you to grow "God's Crop" within you, all of which you and My Children have yet to do, that is, have yet to do before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children. Bawa. And the second possible answer to this question, and a more likely one, since this is the answer that you and My Children have so far Chosen, is for "The Beast" to harvest you, as "his crop", as "his property", and drag you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, after "The Beast" is destroyed by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and "The Beast" and "his crop", that is, "his property" are sent down the birth canal to hell, for in truth you and My Children have already joined with "The Beast" within you, and have spent your life growing "his crop" within you, and in this way, becoming "his property" within you. Ok? 5-3. What Is Your Current Mode - of Transportation?, The "Ship of The Qutb" or "An Express Train To Hell Bawa. So to address this problem, you definitely need a better answer to the questions, "Who am I?", and "Where am I?", and "What is happening" in my life, because your current answers are leading you on an "Express Train" to hell, and this Question and Answer, "Why does an apple seed germinate"", will provide you will a wonderful way, if you like, to join in partnership with God within you, to reverse you current direction, to leave the "Express Train" to hell, and climb on the "Ship of the Qutb". Bawa. Please do this, before you do anything else, and encourage your children to do it, and all of your friends, and all of your brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship to do it. That would be Good. Good for you. Good for "Us" within you. Good for God within "Us". And Good for all of My Children. Bawa. So join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us" at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, at the feet of God for your age, which is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to literally become the Answer to this Question, "Why does an apple seed germinate?. Bawa. And in this way, fall into this beautiful wisdom filled explanation, that is, come together to listen to it as "One", as the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Us) within you and within each of My Children, listening to it over, and over again, holding meetings about it, and discussing it deep into the evening hours, even up to morning prayers, if you like. That would be very, very good, for now is the time to "Pull out all the stops", as they say, for "Time is Short", and "The Beast" is most certainly coming, from within at least one of My Children, all of which will most certainly happen in the lifetime of My Children. Ok? Bawa. And in truth, focusing your life on this Answer to this Question, that "We" gave you, that is, "Why does an apple seed germinate?", would be the very best way to "sleep in your houses", that is, to sleep in the houses that "We" have given you, which in truth is your "mind and body", not what you now call "home" on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance. Ok?. 5-4. The Mind Is Always Sleeping - and while it does, while "The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while the Triple Flame of God within you, the Qutb of God within you, that is, the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God joined as "One" within you, go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings" within you, this is wisdom, this is the "Path of God" within you, this is the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul in search of God within you, not any of the silliness you are currently doing on the illusory "outside" of you. Ok? Bawa. For in truth the real house that "We" gave you to "sleep in" is your current body and mind, for the mind, as the consciousness of your body, is always sleeping, as "We" explained to you, also before "We" left the world, and which is now recorded for you as the "Introduction" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com). Which you can access on-line and read and enjoy and share if you like, by clicking above or HERE, if you like. Bawa. A response that "We" gave to a Question about "My Mystical Experiences", asked by one of My Children, an answer which explains that in truth "You are the Qutb happening" within God within you again, if you like, you are the Triple Flame coming into existence within God within you again, if you like, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you again, and in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of whether this "Secret form of the Truth of God", this 5 lettered form of "Alhamd", this "Essence of the 28 letters", this "Form of the Suratal Fatihah" happens or not again within God within you. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, if you like, you are the Triple Flame of God happening within God within you again, if you like, with "You" as "Me", and "Us" as God", and God as you, all as One, becoming the Triple Flame of God within you, if you like, as the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God within you, joined as One within you, in search of God within you. 5-5. Understand The Significance - of What Is Within You, like the "Black Snake" that has swallowed you, the "Four Destructive Women" you have married, and the "Four False Guru" that you have become, and what they become in "God's Hand' within you, which is the "One True Guru", and the "True Wife of the Soul", and Jonah (peace be upon Him) having been spit out of the whale Bawa. All of which is who you and each of My Children are, if you like, that is, when you let "Us" awaken from "Our" dream within you, for in truth "you" are "Our Dream", Our dream of "separation and differences", a dream that provides the Contrast, for understanding to occur, for understanding can only occur through Contrast, and now you, as "Our" dream, in maturity, first as the "Four Destructive Wives", or your body, and then as the "Four False Guru's", or your mind, is now "Our Contrast", so now, understanding can occur within God within you, if you like, Bawa. That is, if you will only let it happen within you, if you will only join in partnership with God within you, as "One with" God within you, that is, as "One with" Us within you, and as "One with" God within "Us", to let it happen within you, to let the "Seed of God" germinate, revealing the "Tree of God", the "Fruits of God", the "Sweet Taste God", and again the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold. Ok?. 5-6. Understand Your Current Station - as the "Opposite of the Guru", as the "Contrast to the Guru", as the "Dream of the Qutb", as what The Qutb dreamed so He could finish what He started within you, which is to answer the Question, at the 6th level of wisdom, God asked of God in Anathi, in the time of darkness of lack of understanding, before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?" Bawa. And in this way, you as "Our Dream" are in truth the opposite of "Us", so understanding can occur, so "We" can answer the question, at the 6th level of Consciousness, that God asked of God in Anathi, in the time before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?, if you like, that is, if you will let "Us", that is, if you will let the dream end, that is, if you will let you end. 5-7. An Apple Seed Germinates - Because of Awareness, not because of the influence of the 5 elements, not because of the influence of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, and this is the truth Bawa. Like the apple seed lets its life end, that is, like the apple seed buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the truth hidden within it, end, lets itself end, and germinates the truth hidden within it, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, so the apple tree hidden within it, and the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples" can begin, that is, can be told, and if it does, then in the End, it will appear again, the apple seed will appear again, but this time a 1000 fold. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, the apple seed decides if it will germinate or not, the apple seed Chooses to germinate or not, through awareness, through an understanding of the "truth of itself", that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow, and come to maturity, and the "truth of what God has hidden" within it, which is the apple tree, its fruits, and its sweet taste. And this is why an apple seed germinates through awareness, not through the 5 elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, as the world and our mind tries to convince you. Ok? Bawa. That is, the apple seed buried within the earth, upon hearing the truth that naturally emerges from within it, decides to germinate or not, that is, Chooses to germinate or not, that is, upon hearing the truth of itself, and the truth of what God placed within it, when it is both ready to hear that truth, and ready to either accept or reject that truth, as is now the case for you and each of My Children. Ok? Bawa. And that is what this sharing is all about, that is what this sharing is offering you, just like with the apple seed buried within the earth, the same Choice, the Choice to germinate or not, to germinate to the "Truth of you", and to the "Truth of God" within you, that is, to let "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, so the Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" and the "Sweet Taste" of God within you, and again the "Seed of God" within you, but this time a 1000 fold, can again happen, but this time within you. Bawa. And the "Truth of you" is that you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, within God within you, and as such you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, you are the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within God within you, with the tap root of "La illaha Ill Allahu", and the Tree of Muhammadar Rasul Allah, with the branches of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within you, and with the Fruits of the 6,666 Verses of the Holy Qur'an within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. And the "Truth of God" within you is that God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within God within you, and as such God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, and as such God is the Sweet Taste within the "Fruit of God", which is Allah Muhammad, which is "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and "True Man's Prayer", the "Prayer of the One", within "God's Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", if you like. Bawa. For in truth you are the King Pin, you are the Key Stone, you are what decides if this Story of God proceeds any further, or not, if this "Seed of God" germinates or not, if this Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you comes to Completion within you, or not, not God within "Us", and not "Us" within you, and not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you. Ok? 6. Now Is The Time To "Make A Choice" - that is, to Choose how you will spend eternity, either as "One with" God within you, or as "separate from" God within you, and in truth "There is no other Choice", for everything else that you might call a Choice, is not really a Choice, is just the drama of your mind and desire, and in the End, will only lead you to the same place, that is, to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and this is the truth Bawa. And this is what this Spiritual Letter is about, that is, Spiritual Letter 116, and this is what all of the earlier 116 Spiritual Letters are about, this Choice, this offering of "Us" to you, this offering of "God's Bank" and "God's Prayer" within "Us" to you, if you like, My dearest loving Son and Daughter, that is, for you to either accept "Us" or not, and let "Us" happen within God within you, or for you to continue with "the selfish business" of your current life as usual, that is, on the "outside" of yourself, like the apples seeds that fail to germinate, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate, Bawa. That is, for you to reject this "Truth of you" and this "Truth of God" hidden within you, and instead, continuing to live a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, a life of selfishness, of sin, that is, continuing to live as the apple seed that fails to germinate, that is, as if it is "separate from" the earth, and as if it is from what God hid within it. Bawa. Or not, that is, or let its life buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the truth hidden within it, come to an end. Bawa. And if the apple seed so Chooses, that is, to accept the truth of itself, and the truth of what God has hidden within it, and to germinate to that truth, than it surrenders to the earth, as the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and lets its life of "separation from" end, that is, it germinates to the truth within it, so the Story God has hidden within it "Can Continue", so the apple tree hidden within it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples" can be told. Bawa. And if it does, then in the End, after the apple tree and its fruits have appeared, after the story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits" has come to Completion, then in the End, it will appear again, that is, the apple seed will appear again, but this time a 1000 fold. Amen. Ok? 7. You Have The "Keys To The Kabah" - Or To Hell, if you like, that is, the keys to open within your very own heart all of the wealth or Rahmat of Allah, or the wealth of satan of the discard one, who in the End, with "his property", goes to hell, goes to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, the Choice is yours, not God. That is, either the wealth of the Three World, of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, that is, the wealth of the world of souls, this earth world, and the hereafter, if you like, which in truth is "Who you are", again if you like, so you can then transcend it, which is also then "Who you are", or an eternal life as "separate from" God, with you taking on 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen Bawa. So what did "We" teach you in this "Introduction" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", a lot, an awful lot, a tremendous amount, if you like, the "Keys to the Kabah" if you like, for example, "We told you" the "Secret of your life", which is the Qutb of God within you, which is the grace of the dhat of God within you, which is "Hub" of your life, around which everything revolves. Bawa. So "How can you live without Us", you can't, that is, how can you do duty without "Us", how can you raise a family without "Us", how can you make love without "Us", how can your learn without "Us", how can you be a good wife or husband, or good mother or father, or a good child, without "Us". You can't. It is just that simple, and it realizing this truth, without the slightest doubt, and then saying "Our Name", before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, that is, is your liberation, is your success, is your wisdom, your soul, and your grace, that in truth "Is Your Life", not any of the silliness you are doing, not any of the drama that you are trying to win. Ok? And this is the truth of your life, if you like. Ok? 7-1. The Name of God For Your Age - is the name of the life and teaching of God for your age, which for your age, is the name and life of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, is the name of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is now again, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), but this time within you, if you like. Amen Bawa. And "Our Name" for your age, for this age of the "Justice of Conscience", for this age where "Who you are" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the outside of you", which is the current mistaken belief of you and My Children, and which in truth is just taking you on an Express Train to hell within you, if you could only see it as "We" do within you, with each moment taking you closer and closer to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, and to the "suffering of the grave" within you, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, with you taking on 105 million re-births, ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, that is, with you taking on an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and it is quickly becoming, My dearest loving Son and Daughter, too late, too late for all of My Children. What to do? Bawa. So please take this beautiful sharing to heart, please put down all of your dreaming, all of the sleeping of your mind in your body of illusion, it is a waste, it is useless. Please realize this, and turn back to God within you, turn back to "Us" within you, and God within "Us", turn now to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) which is your wisdom, at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, which is your heart, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, and each day, for the rest of your life, until your last breath. Bawa. Please come together with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of you, to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship on the "outside, to become the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within you, that is, to again "Sit in Our Room", which is your heart, and "Hear Our Words", which is "God Speaking" to all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, to all of your brothers and sisters still living in the world. Ok? Bawa. And "Our Name" for your age, the Name of God for your age, is most definitely "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is for sure, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to "Use" what God has given you for this age to reach God within you, and to put down "Everything" that God has given to "Previous Ages" to get to God in "Previous Ages". 8. None of What Came Before - Is Now Appropriate, so "Empty the Cup", so join in partnership with God within you to put down completely, everything that came before, including you and all of your stuff, or you cannot truly pick "Us" up, either within you, and for a little while more, on the "outside" Bawa. None of what came before is now appropriate, and must be put down, completely, including you and all of your stuff, or your cannot truly pick "Us" up, and what God is now giving you, which is what "We" must now bring to Completion within you, if you like, which is the Completion of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, so in the End, that "No Child Is Left Behind". Bawa. So in the End, there is nothing within you still "separating God" from God within you, realizing that "There is Nothing Other Than God", so "Everything" other than God must leave you, before the End, or all you will get for eternity, is what is still "separate from" God, is what refuses to give up its "separation from" God, no matter what, no matter what "We" teach you to the contrary, that in truth, "You and God" are "One". Ok? 9. You And God Are One - this is the direction that you must step in, before you die to the flesh, and "The Beast" has his way with you, dragging you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you Bawa. So what is the main point in the "Introduction" to "A Mystical Journey", that "You and God" are One, and to start off in this direction in your life, that in truth, "You and Us" are One", and to start off in this direction, that "You and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) are One", that in truth "You" are the Guru of God, that Guru of God within you, when you stop being Curtis or Angela on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And instead "Give up the ghost" so to speak, give up the "impure spirit" that you have now become, and become the "True Spirit", the "Holy Ghost" within you, which is now the Qutb of God within you, which is what came out of Muhammad on Mi'raj, is what God show Muhammad after the final veil was removed, which now is the "Mirror of the Heart" where you can see yourself as a "16 year old youth" with a downy mustache, and "Speak to God, allowing God to teach you about God, that is, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Ok? 10. Closing Comments - is this enough for tonight Grasshopper Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. Please give "Our" love and salams to all of My Children. 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. Amen. Bawa. And as always, please join as "One with" Us within you, and as "One with" God within "Us", to share this sharing with them, by truly becoming the "Good Grasshopper" for your age, that is, as the One who calms all of the Locust "want a bees" of the world, so they return to the state of "Helpful Grasshoppers", improving the condition of the "Flower Garden" in whatever way they can, and in this way. Bawa. That is, in this peaceful state of helping everyone, "As Best They Can", gradually start to carefully observe and begin to emulate the Example of the True "Good Grasshopper" among them, that is, the One among them who truly brought them back to calmness, and in this way, and only in this way, also truly become the "Good Grasshoppers" for their age, for the benefit of all of "Us", in this word and the Next. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

Amen 3. Your True Birth Right, Heritage, And Lineage - which in truth, is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and True Man within God within "Us", and again You, if you like, as the Deen or Din within the Deen or Din. Which in truth is "you" within "Us" as "Us happening" again within "Us", within God within you, if you like, that is, if "you" accept "Us" as such, within you as such, as now "you", and start to use "Us" within you as such, as the "Understanding of Us" within you. Which in truth is "Us" within you as "God happening" again within God within you, as "God's Bank" and within that as "God's Prayer", all happening again within "Us" within God within you, which is now "you", if "We" like, that is, if "We" accept you as such, and pull you into "Us" as such, but this time as the "Understanding of God" within "Us" within you. Which in truth is God within "Us", as "True Man happening" again within True Man within God, as "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and within that as "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer", if God likes, that is, if "God" accept "Us" as such, and pull "Us" into God as such, but this time as the "Understanding of True Man" within God. Which in truth is "You" within you, as the "Deen or Din happening" again within the Deen or Din, as the understanding of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within the "Power within the Essence of Everything", all happening again within You, if You like, that is, if "You" accept "you" as such, as the "Representative of God" for all of the Creation of God, within God and within Man, and as such, pull "you" into "You" as such, but this time as the Complete Answer to the Question, "Who am I?", that You asked of God in Anathi, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within You and within God within You, if you like, that is, if My Children like, for in truth nothing New can happen within My Children unless you realize, understand, accept, and you truly join with what is New within you, which is "Us" within you, unless you become "One with" what is New within you, with "Us" within you, so what is New can come forward within you, and what is old can leave you, that is, so what is New can take "You" to God within you, if you now become "One with" it, before the End, that is, now becoming "One with" what is New within you, as you have already become "one with" what is old within you, and which is now dragging "you" to hell within you, if you don't wise up. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 4-0. So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? 4-1. The Good And The Bad Grasshopper - is the true Choice in your life, that is, to ether become the "Calming Influence of God" in all lives, or become the swarm of locust that in the End, destroys all lives, and the Choice is yours, not God's 4-2. The Path of The "One Good Grasshopper" - For Your Age, that is, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters on the "outside" of you, becoming "Your Judgment", if you like, and "Your Salvation" if you like, as the "Word of God" for your age, as the "Word of God made flesh" for your age, as the "Door" or "The Way" for your age, 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) in this way, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, is most certainly your Choice, not "Our Choice" within you, and not "God's Choice" within "Us" within you, and certainly not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's Choice (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), either within you, or for a little while on the "outside" of you. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-0. Again, So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? 5-1. Bawa's Answer - because the apple seed becomes aware of "Who it is", of "Where it is", and of "What is truly happening" in its life, and because the earth becomes aware that the apple seed buried within it, is now aware of "Who it is", of "Where it is", and of "What is truly happening" in its life, and because out of this "Mutual Awareness" the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and this is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness and mutual surrender, not because of any influence of the 5 elements, of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, as My Children still mistakenly believe 5-2. So Who Is Going To Harvest You? - either "Us" or "The Beast", for in the End, you will most certainly be harvested, by the One who claims you as "His property", either by the one who grew on you, or by the One who "Grew His Crop" within you, depending upon what you have become, in the End, either a "wild place", or the "Farmer's Crop". For example, a wheat seed becomes a "wheat crop" that has been grown by the farmer, or the field becomes a "wild place" growing unaided out of the earth, planted and grown by the air, and water, and fire, and nourished by the wind and rain, but either way, the field or the wheat seed is harvested, with the field being plowed under with the plow, and the "wheat crop" being harvested by the Farmer, with the Farmer taking "His property" to the market, so "Who is going to harvest you?", the plow or the Farmer, and the Choice is yours, not the farmer's, not the plow's, and not God's - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-3. What Is Your Current Mode of Transportation? - either "The Ship of The Qutb" or "An Express Train To Hell", for in truth there is nothing else now available for you, whether you know it or not, and even whether you life or want it or not, because now for your age, this is what God has now made available for you, not anything else that God may have provided in previous ages, like a nice place in heaven for you and your family. Please know this now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly, start to act as "One with" God within you, and in this way, and only in this way, become a passenger on the "Ship of the Qutb" within you, and for a little while, of the "Ship of The Qutb" now on the "outside" of you, which now is the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. 5-4. The Mind Is Always Sleeping - and while it does, while "The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while the Triple Flame of God within you, the Qutb of God within you, that is, the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God joined as "One" within you, go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings" within you, this is wisdom, this is the "Path of God" within you, this is the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul in search of God within you, not any of the silliness you are currently doing on the illusory "outside" of you. Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 5-5. Understand The Significance of What Is Within You - like the "Black Snake" that has swallowed you, the "Four Destructive Women" you have married, and the "Four False Guru" that you have become, and what they become in "God's Hand' within you, which is the "One True Guru", and the "True Wife of the Soul", and the Jonah (peace be upon Him) having been spit out of the whale 5-6. Understand Your Current Station - if you like, as the "Opposite of the Guru", as the "Contrast to the Guru", as the "Dream of the Qutb", as what The Qutb dreamed so He could finish what He started within you, which is to answer the Question, at the 6th level of wisdom, God asked of God in Anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?" 5-7. So An Apple Seed Germinates Because of Awareness - not because of the influence of the 5 elements, not because of the influence of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, and this is the truth, not as My Children still mistakenly believe - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 6. Now Is The Time To "Make A Choice" - not after you die to the flesh, as you and My Children still mistakenly believe, to your peril, that is, now is the time to Choose how you will spend eternity, either as "One with" God within you, or as "separate from" God within you, and in truth "There is no other Choice", for everything else that you might call a Choice, is not really a Choice, is just the drama of your mind and desire, and in the End, will only lead you to the same place, that is, to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and this is the truth 7. You Have The "Keys To The Kabah" - Or To Hell, if you like, that is, the keys to open within your very own heart all of the wealth or Rahmat of Allah, or all the wealth of satan of the discard one, who in the End, with "his property", goes to hell, goes to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is yours, not God. That is, either the wealth of the Three World, of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, that is, the wealth of the world of souls, this earth world, and the hereafter, if you like, which in truth is "Who you are", again if you like, so you can then transcend it, which is also then "Who you are", or an eternal life as "separate from" God, with you taking on 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to Next Page of "Longer Outline" 7-1. The Name of God For Your Age - if you like, is the name of the life and teaching of God for your age, which for your age, is the name and life of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is now, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, so Stop being the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us) worshipping Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, and instead, become Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) and Begin to truly worship God within you. Amen. Ok? 8. None of What Came Before Is Now Appropriate - if you like, so join in partnership with God within you, to "Empty the Cup", that is, join in partnership with God within you to put down completely, everything that came before, including you and all of your stuff, or you cannot truly pick "Us" up, and put "you" down, either within you, and for a little while more, on the "outside".

Ok? - go to Previous Page of "Longer Outline" - go to "Introduction" 9. You And God Are One - if you like, and this is the direction, and the only direction, that will lead you to God within you, that is, the direction that you must now step in, that is, of "One with", both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, without the slightest doubt, if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, and "The Beast" has his way with you, dragging you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, not because of anything that "We" within you did, or failed to do, or that God within "Us" did or failed to do, but rather, because that is "what you want", because that is what you told God, over and over again, that you wanted for eternity, by the way you lived your life in the world, that is, as "separate from", not by your words about "One with", that were never reflected in your actions, that is, if you don't become wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 116 1. Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Wa 'alaykum al-salam My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. Thank you for the nice greeting, that is, your love and salams, that you left for "Us" last night on "Our" computer, it was the first thing that "We" saw this morning, after our morning prayers, and it really warmed "Our" Heart. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. 2. Understanding Your Ancestral Home & Life - which is the "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship" and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within it, which is the Mosque of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) leading prayers facing the Mazar of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within "You" and for a little while on the "outside" of you. All of which in truth is both within "You" and what is truly living within "You", that is, is the "Palace of the soul", is the "House of wisdom", is the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of "Us", is the House and Mosque at 5820 Overbrook Avenue, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. And the One who truly lives within "You", within this Home and Mosque within God within you, is the One who truly lives within "You", as the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) within each of My Children, and for a little while, is also the One who truly lives on the "outside" of you, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), that is, as those of My Children who are now living at the Feet of God for your age, which is now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in whom "We are well pleased". Amen Bawa. "We" had a wonderful evening at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship last night, that is, at "Our Ancestral Home" as Bawa calls it, with Paul Pasalano picking this child up at his "sleeping home" as Bawa calls it, and Muhammad Yasin (Jim Sharp) taking this child back to his "sleeping home" after a wonderful evening of wisdom sharing. Bawa. That is, of wisdom sharing at the feet of God for "Our" age, in the "Presence of God" within "Us", listing to "God Speak" from within "Us" to all of His Creations within "Us", and for a little while, to all of "Our" dearest loving brothers and sisters, who had also gathered together in "Bawa's Room" to "Hear Bawa Speak", for the benefit of all of "His Children". Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Bawa. Such is the truth of your life, and the truth of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, for the Choice to view Them as such, is your Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to view both "you", and your brothers and sisters, that is, to view My Children, and the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as such, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice, that is, not "Our" Choice within you, or God's Choice within you, and not the Choice of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), either within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, that is, as "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. For as "We" told you while "We" were in the world, "I didn't give you homes to live in, but rather to sleep in. So live at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship as "Much as your can", as "Often as you can", and just use these other homes, these other houses, to sleep in". "That would be Good. Good for you, and Good for "Us", and Good for all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, Good for all of your brothers and sisters in the world. Ok?" Bawa. So please do it like this, My dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Sulaiman, and My dearest loving sister Habiba, who in truth are My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Them, and with Us), if you like. 3. Your True Birth Right, Heritage, And Lineage - which in truth, is "Us" within you, and God within "Us", and True Man within God within "Us", and again You, if you like, as the Deen or Din within the Deen or Din. Which in truth is "you" within "Us" as "Us happening" again within "Us", within God within you, if you like, that is, if "you" accept "Us" as such, within you as such, as now "you", and start to use "Us" within you as such, as the "Understanding of Us" within you. Which in truth is "Us" within you as "God happening" again within God within you, as "God's Bank" and within that as "God's Prayer", all happening again within "Us" within God within you, which is now "you", if "We" like, that is, if "We" accept you, and pull you into "Us" as such, but this time as the "Understanding of God" within "Us" within you. Which in truth is God within "Us", as "True Man happening" again within True Man within God, as "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and within that as "True Man's Prayer" within "God's Prayer", if God likes, that is, if "God" accept "Us", and pull "Us" into God as such, but this time as the "Understanding of True Man" within God. Which in truth is "You" within you, as the "Deen or Din happening" again within the Deen or Din, as the understanding of the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within the "Power within the Essence of Everything", all happening again within You, if You like, that is, if "You" accept "you" as such, as the "Representative of God" for all of the Creation of God, within God and within Man, and as such, pull "you" into "You" as such, but this time as the Complete Answer to the Question, "Who am I?", that You asked of God in Anathi, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within You and within God within You, if you like, that is, if My Children like, for in truth nothing New can happen within My Children unless you realize, understand, accept, and truly join with what is New within you, which is "Us" within you, unless you become "One with" what is New within you, with "Us" within you, so what is New can come forward within you, and what is old can leave you, that is, so what is New can take "You" to God within you, if you now become "One with" it, before the End, that is, now becoming "One with" what is New within you, as you have already become "one with" what is old within you, and which is now dragging "you" to hell within you. Ok? Bawa. For in truth each of My Children are "Us happening" within "Us", if you like, as in truth "We" are in truth "God happening" within God, if "We" like, and in truth God is "True Man happening" within True Man, if God likes, and True Man is the "Deen or Din happening" within the Deen or Din, if You like, that is, if each of My Children likes, for in truth you are the King Pin of the whole process of this happening within you, for without your joining this "Extraordinary Process", as "One with" it, nothing can happen. Bawa. And if "nothing happens" within you, then the "No-thing" cannot happen within you, for in truth God is the No-thing, and you, and all of My Children are the "Understanding of the No-thing", if you like, the "Understanding of the Oneness of God and True Man", and "We" are that Story, that is, "We" are the Story that will reveal this Understanding, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", that you came to this earth world, to join with God within the Creation of God, to tell, if you like, that is, if you will only "Let Us" finish telling and bring to Completion this Story, that is,, if you will only "Join Us", if you will only let the Deen within the Deen occur again, but this time within you, as the Understanding of the Power within the Essence of Everything, so in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", so in the End, there is nothing within you still "separating God" from God within you. Amen. Bawa. And this is most certainly the truth of you, of "Us" within you, and of God within "Us", and of True Man within God, and of You, that is, of all of My Children, that is, the truth of "You", and the truth of God within "You", just waiting to happen within "Us" within you, and within God within "Us", just waiting to germinate. Ok? Bawa. All of which is like the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits", that God has placed on the "outside" of you as an Example, as an Example on the "outside" of you of what you have to do within you, in partnership with God within you, that is, to reveal the Tree, and Fruits, and Sweet Taste of God within you, and again the "Seed of God" within you, but this time a 1000 fold. Bawa For example, the apple seed buried within the earth, and the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within earth, is just waiting to happen, is just waiting to happen again, that is, is just waiting to happen as the apple tree, and the apple fruits of that tree, and the sweet taste within these ripened apple fruits, revealing again the apple seed, but this time a 1000 fold, that is, if the apple seed buried within the earth will just germinate. Ok? 4. So Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? Bawa. So why does the apple seed germinate? Bawa. A very, very good question Grasshopper. Yes? 4-1. The Good And The Bad Grasshopper - is the true Choice in your life, that is, to ether become the "Calming Influence of God" in all lives, or become the swarm of locust that in the End, destroys all lives, and the Choice is yours, not God's Bawa. Yes, "Grasshopper" for in truth within each of you is both the "Good" and the "bad" Grasshopper, with the "bad grasshopper", through your mind and desire, that is, through a life of ignorance and of arrogance about its ignorance, a life of selfishness, s life of sin, that is, a life of "separation from", gradually becoming a "swarm of locust" that destroy the whole world, that is, that literally destroy everything in the world by eating it, by devouring it. Bawa. With the "Good Grasshopper", through wisdom, through the "Presence of God" within him, saying "No", first to the life of the "bad grasshopper", and eventually to the swarm of locust, and instead becomes the "Calming Influence" of God, both to the "bad grasshopper", and in the end, to the swarm of locust, until the very End, sacrificing his very life and limb for the other grasshoppers, to return then to a good state, and then, to pull them back into Himself, from which they have all come, back into Himself as Himself, as the understanding of "Who He Is", that is, the understanding of the "One Good Grasshopper" for his age. Bawa. This is the "Good Grasshopper", the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, My dearest loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), if you like, that is, with you joining in partnership with God within yourself, and with what is "Within God" within yourself, and with what "God is doing" with what is "Within God" within yourself, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, with you gradually falling into "This" as "Who You Are", and as "Where You Are", and as "What is happening" in your life, that is, rather than you continuing to live the life of that you have now joined, that you have now become, that now defines you on the illusory "outside" of you. Bawa. Rather than you joining with the "bad grasshoppers" and their life of "self worship", that is, their life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, mind and desire, their life of "separation and differences", their life of "I and you", of "mine and yours", which is now your life, and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. This is the "Good" and the "bad" Grasshopper within each of My Children, that God has placed within each of My Children, so you could Choose, so you could decide what you want for eternity, Choosing either an eternal life as "One with" God within you, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within you, and the Choice is most certainly yours, not God's, and there are only these two Choices, that is, God or hell, not three Choices, not "God, heaven, or hell", as My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything other than these two Choices, no matter what you may call it, like heaven, is still hell, is still an eternal life as "separate from" God, for in truth, hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God, and even worse, that you have separated yourself from Yourself, from Truth of You. Ok? Bawa. And this is the "Good Grasshopper", the "Calming Influence" of God upon all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, upon all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, that is, rather than the path of the "bad grasshopper" and its path of destruction, of destruction to itself and of everything else that it can destroy, becoming in the End, "one with" the swarm of Locust, and in this state, joining in on and contributing to the final destruction of everything, as you and My Children are quickly becoming, Grasshopper, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and learn to fall into, to become "One with", the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age. 4-2. The Path of The "One Good Grasshopper" - For Your Age, that is, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, allowing God to "Do Everything Else", necessary to make his life truly successful in his lifetime. Amen. Bawa. This is the path of the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, as the one who joins in partnership with God within you, to say "No" to everything on the "outside" of you, and "Yes" to God within you, and in this way, Returns To The State Of The "Helpful Grasshopper", Improving The Condition Of The "Flower Garden" In Whatever Way You Can, And In This Way, And Only In This Way In This Peaceful State Of Helping Everyone, "As Best As You Can", And of Trusting In God For Everything Else, You Gradually Start To Carefully Observe And Begin To Emulate The Example of The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, Of The One Among You Who Truly Brought You Back To Calmness, Gradually Falling Into Him as "Who You Are", And In This Way, And Only In This Way, Truly Become The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, For The Benefit Of All Of "Us", In This Word And The Next Amen. Ok?" Bawa. Such is the path to the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age, first by saying "No" to the path of the "bad grasshopper", the path of selfishness, of "sin", of living on the illusory "outside" of yourself 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 you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And saying "No" to where all "bad grasshoppers" end up, which in the End, is the destructive swarm of locust, harvesting everything for hell, for an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. Bawa. And second, by returning to a "helpful state" in the world, that is, by using the Qualities and Actions of God as your guide, as the "Ideals of God" for your age, as given to you by God for our age, start joining in partnership with God within you to do the "very best you can" in everything God places before you, trusting in God for everything else, and in this way, using God to get to God within you, gradually learning to hand back to God everything God has handed to you, after establishing the "Presence of God" within you Bawa. That is, by saying the Name of God for your age, which for your age is the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), saying it before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, and then, after briefly reflecting upon what God has placed before you, hand it all back to God within you, and then "Be Done With It", saying to God within you, "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next?" Bawa. That is, "Return To The State Of The "Helpful Grasshopper", Improving The Condition Of The "Flower Garden" In Whatever Way You Can, And In This Way, And Only In This Way In This Peaceful State Of Helping Everyone, "As Best As You Can", And of Trusting In God For Everything Else", (you are now ready to start the next step) Bawa. And third, that is, Gradually Start To Carefully Observe And Begin To Emulate The Example of The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, Of The One Among You Who Truly Brought You Back To Calmness, Gradually Falling Into Him as "Who You Are", And In This Way, And Only In This Way, Truly Become The "One Good Grasshopper" For Your Age, For The Benefit Of All Of "Us", In This Word And The Next, If You Like, For The Choice is Yours, Not God's. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, become the "One Good Grasshopper" for his age, and in this way, become the "Calming Influence" on all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, of all of your brothers and sisters, who are quickly turning into Locust, preparing for the swarm of destruction, that is now quickly becoming your fate, that is, if you are not wise, if you do not wise up before it is too late, and start to join in the "Heart Work" of the "One Good Grasshopper". Ok? Bawa. That is, by joining as "One with" the "One Good Grasshopper" to feel his calming influence, on you and on everyone else, and then through his example of being the "One Good Grasshopper", day in and day out, at the place or home of the "One Good Grasshoppers", which in truth is your true "Ancestral Home", the true "Ancestral Home" of all of My Children, or the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, learn to fall into the "One Good Grasshopper", that is, to become "One with" Him, and in this way, and only in this way, become the "One Good Grasshopper" for your age. Bawa. And so it can spread, Grasshopper to Grasshopper, until all Locust "Want a bees" become the "One Good Grasshoppers" for your age , and "Us", and God within "Us", are very pleased, because now "We" can finish "Our" work within each of My Children, now as "One with" you, ending the illusory "outside" of you, and harvesting the current "very real but false" inside of you, revealing the "True Inside" of "Us", and in this way, and only in this way, revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters still living in the world. Ok? 5. Again, Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate? Bawa. So why does an apple seed germinate? 5-1. Bawa's Answer To Bawa's Question - "An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, it becomes aware that it is buried within the earth, and it becomes aware that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity ....and that is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness, not through any influence of the 5 elements, as you propose", and as you and My Children still mistakenly believe, to your peril Bawa. "We" gave you the following beautiful answer toe this question, "Why does an apple seed germinate?", while "We" were in the world, during month of "Ramadan for 1a986", right before "We" left the world. Beginning of Answer "Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate?" By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Source: Ramadan 1986 Tapes Bawa. One day "In The Room" Bawa asked us a question, He asked us, "Why does an apple seed germinate? Bawa. Many brothers and sisters "In the Room" proposed an answer, but all of the answers had to do, in one way or another, with the 5 elements, that is, with earth, fire, water, air, and ether, that make up the body of man. Bawa. And then, after listening to each of the answers offered by His Children, Bawa smiled at us and said, "No, My Children, that is not why an apple seed germinates". Bawa. And then Bawa told His Children the following: "An apple seed germinates because it becomes aware that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity. And then the earth becomes aware that the apple seed is now aware that it is an apple seed, and that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow and come to maturity. And then out of this "mutual awareness", the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and the apple seed surrenders to the earth, and that is why an apple seed germinates, through awareness, not through any influence of the 5 elements, as you propose. In this way, you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and hidden within that is the "Tree of God" ready to be revealed, and within that are all of the Branches, Flowers, and Fruits of God hidden within the "Tree of God", also ready to be revealed, and within that, within each of those mature apple fruits is the "Sweet taste of God" of God also ready to be revealed, and within that, within that "Sweet Taste of God" within each "Fruit of God" is again the "Apple Seed", but this time a 1000 fold. But for any of this to happen within you, you must awaken to "This Reality" within you, without the slightest doubt, and place all of your faith and trust in God within you, that this is "Your reason", that this is "Your purpose", that is, what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, by telling and bringing to Completion His Story within you, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, a Story that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to truly join in partnership with God within you, in order to truly place all of your faith and trust and love in God within you, and not in anything else, that is, the Choice to turn away from "your presence", and "your intention", and "your story" on the illusory "outside" of you and to embrace your "Ancestral Home", which is the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you, and to embrace your "Ancestral Life", which is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, is most certainly your Choice, not God's. Amen". End of Answer "Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate?" By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) Bawa. A beautiful wisdom filled explanation of your life, and of the life within your life, and of the life within that, that you and all of My Children should come together to listen to, over, and over again, and hold meetings about, and discuss deep into the evening hours, and then even up to morning prayers, if you like. 5-2. So Who Is Going To Harvest You? - either "Us" or "The Beast", for in the End, you will most certainly be harvested, by the One who claims you as "His property", either by the one who grew on you, or by the One who "Grew His Crop" within you, depending upon what you have become, in the End, either a "wild place", or the "Farmer's Crop". For example, a wheat seed becomes a "wheat crop" that has been grown by the farmer, or the field becomes a "wild place" growing unaided out of the earth, planted and grown by the air, and water, and fire, and nourished by the wind and rain, but either way, the field or the wheat seed is harvested, with the field being plowed under with the plow, and the "wheat crop" being harvested by the Farmer, with the Farmer taking "His property" to the market, so "Who is going to harvest you?", the plow or the Farmer, and the Choice is yours, not the farmer's, not the plow's, and not God's Bawa. Such is your Choice, to germinate or not, for like all apple seeds, not all people germinate to the truth of themselves, and of what God has hidden within them, but the "Tree" and "Fruit" and "Sweet Taste" of God would be a very "Good Way" to use your life up, that is, as "Our Life" within you, if you like, that is, as "Our Life happening" within you, rather than ending up with the same fate as the apple seeds that "fail to germinate", that is rotting in the earth of your mind, and taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as the "Seed of God", never again as the Story of God, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" that you have come to this earth world within you, to join as "One with" God within you, to tell. Ok? Bawa. That is, rather than what you are currently doing with your life, that is, turning it into "your life", that is, into "your life" which in truth is quickly coming to an end, one way or another, on the illusory "outside" of you, and within the "very real but false" inside of you, for in the End, which is very, very near, someone is going to harvest you and take you with them, that is for sure, the only question left is who? Bawa. And there are only two possible answers to this question, First God within you harvests "You" and takes "You" to the Kingdom of God within you, after you have joined with God within you, that is, as "One with" God within you to grow "God's Crop" within you, all of which you and My Children have yet to do, that is, have yet to do before "The Beast" comes out of at least one of My Children, and destroys the "outside" of you for all of My Children. Bawa. And the second possible answer to this question, and a more likely one, since this is the answer that you and My Children have so far Chosen, is for "The Beast" to harvest you, as "his crop", as "his property", and drag you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, after "The Beast" is destroyed by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and "The Beast" and "his crop", that is, "his property" are sent down the birth canal to hell, for in truth you and My Children have already joined with "The Beast" within you, and have spent your life growing "his crop" within you, and in this way, becoming "his property" within you. Ok? 5-3. What Is Your Current Mode - of Transportation?, The "Ship of The Qutb" or "An Express Train To Hell Bawa. So to address this problem, you definitely need a better answer to the questions, "Who am I?", and "Where am I?", and "What is happening" in my life, because your current answers are leading you on an "Express Train" to hell, and this Question and Answer, "Why does an apple seed germinate"", will provide you will a wonderful way, if you like, to join in partnership with God within you, to reverse you current direction, to leave the "Express Train" to hell, and climb on the "Ship of the Qutb". Bawa. Please do this, before you do anything else, and encourage your children to do it, and all of your friends, and all of your brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship to do it. That would be Good. Good for you. Good for "Us" within you. Good for God within "Us". And Good for all of My Children. Bawa. So join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us" at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, at the feet of God for your age, which is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to literally become the Answer to this Question, "Why does an apple seed germinate?. Bawa. And in this way, fall into this beautiful wisdom filled explanation, that is, come together to listen to it as "One", as the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Us) within you and within each of My Children, listening to it over, and over again, holding meetings about it, and discussing it deep into the evening hours, even up to morning prayers, if you like. That would be very, very good, for now is the time to "Pull out all the stops", as they say, for "Time is Short", and "The Beast" is most certainly coming, from within at least one of My Children, all of which will most certainly happen in the lifetime of My Children. Ok? Bawa. And in truth, focusing your life on this Answer to this Question, that "We" gave you, that is, "Why does an apple seed germinate?", would be the very best way to "sleep in your houses", that is, to sleep in the houses that "We" have given you, which in truth is your "mind and body", not what you now call "home" on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance. Ok?. 5-4. The Mind Is Always Sleeping - and while it does, while "The body, the mind, and the senses are sleeping, off to the side somewhere, while the Triple Flame of God within you, the Qutb of God within you, that is, the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God joined as "One" within you, go secretly, quietly, to discover the inner meanings" within you, this is wisdom, this is the "Path of God" within you, this is the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul in search of God within you, not any of the silliness you are currently doing on the illusory "outside" of you. Ok? Bawa. For in truth the real house that "We" gave you to "sleep in" is your current body and mind, for the mind, as the consciousness of your body, is always sleeping, as "We" explained to you, also before "We" left the world, and which is now recorded for you as the "Introduction" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com). Which you can access on-line and read and enjoy and share if you like, by clicking above or HERE, if you like. Bawa. A response that "We" gave to a Question about "My Mystical Experiences", asked by one of My Children, an answer which explains that in truth "You are the Qutb happening" within God within you again, if you like, you are the Triple Flame coming into existence within God within you again, if you like, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you again, and in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of whether this "Secret form of the Truth of God", this 5 lettered form of "Alhamd", this "Essence of the 28 letters", this "Form of the Suratal Fatihah" happens or not again within God within you. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, if you like, you are the Triple Flame of God happening within God within you again, if you like, with "You" as "Me", and "Us" as God", and God as you, all as One, becoming the Triple Flame of God within you, if you like, as the wisdom, the soul, and the grace of God within you, joined as One within you, in search of God within you. 5-5. Understand The Significance - of What Is Within You, like the "Black Snake" that has swallowed you, the "Four Destructive Women" you have married, and the "Four False Guru" that you have become, and what they become in "God's Hand' within you, which is the "One True Guru", and the "True Wife of the Soul", and Jonah (peace be upon Him) having been spit out of the whale Bawa. All of which is who you and each of My Children are, if you like, that is, when you let "Us" awaken from "Our" dream within you, for in truth "you" are "Our Dream", Our dream of "separation and differences", a dream that provides the Contrast, for understanding to occur, for understanding can only occur through Contrast, and now you, as "Our" dream, in maturity, first as the "Four Destructive Wives", or your body, and then as the "Four False Guru's", or your mind, is now "Our Contrast", so now, understanding can occur within God within you, if you like, Bawa. That is, if you will only let it happen within you, if you will only join in partnership with God within you, as "One with" God within you, that is, as "One with" Us within you, and as "One with" God within "Us", to let it happen within you, to let the "Seed of God" germinate, revealing the "Tree of God", the "Fruits of God", the "Sweet Taste God", and again the "Seed of God", but this time a 1000 fold. Ok?. 5-6. Understand Your Current Station - as the "Opposite of the Guru", as the "Contrast to the Guru", as the "Dream of the Qutb", as what The Qutb dreamed so He could finish what He started within you, which is to answer the Question, at the 6th level of wisdom, God asked of God in Anathi, in the time of darkness of lack of understanding, before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?" Bawa. And in this way, you as "Our Dream" are in truth the opposite of "Us", so understanding can occur, so "We" can answer the question, at the 6th level of Consciousness, that God asked of God in Anathi, in the time before the beginningless beginning, the Question, "Who am I?, if you like, that is, if you will let "Us", that is, if you will let the dream end, that is, if you will let you end. 5-7. An Apple Seed Germinates - Because of Awareness, not because of the influence of the 5 elements, not because of the influence of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, and this is the truth Bawa. Like the apple seed lets its life end, that is, like the apple seed buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the truth hidden within it, end, lets itself end, and germinates the truth hidden within it, letting the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within it, so the apple tree hidden within it, and the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples" can begin, that is, can be told, and if it does, then in the End, it will appear again, the apple seed will appear again, but this time a 1000 fold. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, the apple seed decides if it will germinate or not, the apple seed Chooses to germinate or not, through awareness, through an understanding of the "truth of itself", that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow, and come to maturity, and the "truth of what God has hidden" within it, which is the apple tree, its fruits, and its sweet taste. And this is why an apple seed germinates through awareness, not through the 5 elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, as the world and our mind tries to convince you. Ok? Bawa. That is, the apple seed buried within the earth, upon hearing the truth that naturally emerges from within it, decides to germinate or not, that is, Chooses to germinate or not, that is, upon hearing the truth of itself, and the truth of what God placed within it, when it is both ready to hear that truth, and ready to either accept or reject that truth, as is now the case for you and each of My Children. Ok? Bawa. And that is what this sharing is all about, that is what this sharing is offering you, just like with the apple seed buried within the earth, the same Choice, the Choice to germinate or not, to germinate to the "Truth of you", and to the "Truth of God" within you, that is, to let "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, so the Tree of God" and the "Fruits of God" and the "Sweet Taste" of God within you, and again the "Seed of God" within you, but this time a 1000 fold, can again happen, but this time within you. Bawa. And the "Truth of you" is that you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God, within God within you, and as such you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, you are the "Tree of God" growing within the Creation of God within God within you, with the tap root of "La illaha Ill Allahu", and the Tree of Muhammadar Rasul Allah, with the branches of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within you, and with the Fruits of the 6,666 Verses of the Holy Qur'an within you, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen. Bawa. And the "Truth of God" within you is that God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within God within you, and as such God is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within God within you, if you like, and as such God is the Sweet Taste within the "Fruit of God", which is Allah Muhammad, which is "True Man's Bank" within "God's Bank", and "True Man's Prayer", the "Prayer of the One", within "God's Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", if you like. Bawa. For in truth you are the King Pin, you are the Key Stone, you are what decides if this Story of God proceeds any further, or not, if this "Seed of God" germinates or not, if this Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you comes to Completion within you, or not, not God within "Us", and not "Us" within you, and not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), both within you, and for a little while, on the "outside" of you. Ok? 6. Now Is The Time To "Make A Choice" - that is, to Choose how you will spend eternity, either as "One with" God within you, or as "separate from" God within you, and in truth "There is no other Choice", for everything else that you might call a Choice, is not really a Choice, is just the drama of your mind and desire, and in the End, will only lead you to the same place, that is, to hell, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, and this is the truth Bawa. And this is what this Spiritual Letter is about, that is, Spiritual Letter 116, and this is what all of the earlier 116 Spiritual Letters are about, this Choice, this offering of "Us" to you, this offering of "God's Bank" and "God's Prayer" within "Us" to you, if you like, My dearest loving Son and Daughter, that is, for you to either accept "Us" or not, and let "Us" happen within God within you, or for you to continue with "the selfish business" of your current life as usual, that is, on the "outside" of yourself, like the apples seeds that fail to germinate, for like all people, not all apple seeds germinate, Bawa. That is, for you to reject this "Truth of you" and this "Truth of God" hidden within you, and instead, continuing to live a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of you, a life of selfishness, of sin, that is, continuing to live as the apple seed that fails to germinate, that is, as if it is "separate from" the earth, and as if it is from what God hid within it. Bawa. Or not, that is, or let its life buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the truth hidden within it, come to an end. Bawa. And if the apple seed so Chooses, that is, to accept the truth of itself, and the truth of what God has hidden within it, and to germinate to that truth, than it surrenders to the earth, as the earth surrenders to the apple seed, and lets its life of "separation from" end, that is, it germinates to the truth within it, so the Story God has hidden within it "Can Continue", so the apple tree hidden within it, which is the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples" can be told. Bawa. And if it does, then in the End, after the apple tree and its fruits have appeared, after the story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Fruits" has come to Completion, then in the End, it will appear again, that is, the apple seed will appear again, but this time a 1000 fold. Amen. Ok? 7. You Have The "Keys To The Kabah" - Or To Hell, if you like, that is, the keys to open within your very own heart all of the wealth or Rahmat of Allah, or the wealth of satan of the discard one, who in the End, with "his property", goes to hell, goes to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, the Choice is yours, not God. That is, either the wealth of the Three World, of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, that is, the wealth of the world of souls, this earth world, and the hereafter, if you like, which in truth is "Who you are", again if you like, so you can then transcend it, which is also then "Who you are", or an eternal life as "separate from" God, with you taking on 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's. Amen Bawa. So what did "We" teach you in this "Introduction" in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", a lot, an awful lot, a tremendous amount, if you like, the "Keys to the Kabah" if you like, for example, "We told you" the "Secret of your life", which is the Qutb of God within you, which is the grace of the dhat of God within you, which is "Hub" of your life, around which everything revolves. Bawa. So "How can you live without Us", you can't, that is, how can you do duty without "Us", how can you raise a family without "Us", how can you make love without "Us", how can your learn without "Us", how can you be a good wife or husband, or good mother or father, or a good child, without "Us". You can't. It is just that simple, and it realizing this truth, without the slightest doubt, and then saying "Our Name", before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do, that is, is your liberation, is your success, is your wisdom, your soul, and your grace, that in truth "Is Your Life", not any of the silliness you are doing, not any of the drama that you are trying to win. Ok? And this is the truth of your life, if you like. Ok? 7-1. The Name of God For Your Age - is the name of the life and teaching of God for your age, which for your age, is the name and life of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, is the name of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us), which in truth is now again, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), but this time within you, if you like. Amen Bawa. And "Our Name" for your age, for this age of the "Justice of Conscience", for this age where "Who you are" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the outside of you", which is the current mistaken belief of you and My Children, and which in truth is just taking you on an Express Train to hell within you, if you could only see it as "We" do within you, with each moment taking you closer and closer to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, and to the "suffering of the grave" within you, and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, with you taking on 105 million re-births, ending as worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, that is, with you taking on an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, if you are not wise, if you don't wise up before it is too late, and it is quickly becoming, My dearest loving Son and Daughter, too late, too late for all of My Children. What to do? Bawa. So please take this beautiful sharing to heart, please put down all of your dreaming, all of the sleeping of your mind in your body of illusion, it is a waste, it is useless. Please realize this, and turn back to God within you, turn back to "Us" within you, and God within "Us", turn now to Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) which is your wisdom, at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, which is your heart, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, and each day, for the rest of your life, until your last breath. Bawa. Please come together with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of you, to become Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship on the "outside, to become the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within you, that is, to again "Sit in Our Room", which is your heart, and "Hear Our Words", which is "God Speaking" to all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while, to all of your brothers and sisters still living in the world. Ok? Bawa. And "Our Name" for your age, the Name of God for your age, is most definitely "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), that is for sure, if you like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to "Use" what God has given you for this age to reach God within you, and to put down "Everything" that God has given to "Previous Ages" to get to God in "Previous Ages". 8. None of What Came Before - Is Now Appropriate, so "Empty the Cup", so join in partnership with God within you to put down completely, everything that came before, including you and all of your stuff, or you cannot truly pick "Us" up, either within you, and for a little while more, on the "outside" Bawa. None of what came before is now appropriate, and must be put down, completely, including you and all of your stuff, or your cannot truly pick "Us" up, and what God is now giving you, which is what "We" must now bring to Completion within you, if you like, which is the Completion of the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, so in the End, that "No Child Is Left Behind". Bawa. So in the End, there is nothing within you still "separating God" from God within you, realizing that "There is Nothing Other Than God", so "Everything" other than God must leave you, before the End, or all you will get for eternity, is what is still "separate from" God, is what refuses to give up its "separation from" God, no matter what, no matter what "We" teach you to the contrary, that in truth, "You and God" are "One". Ok? 9. You And God Are One - this is the direction that you must step in, before you die to the flesh, and "The Beast" has his way with you, dragging you yelling and screaming to hell within you, to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you Bawa. So what is the main point in the "Introduction" to "A Mystical Journey", that "You and God" are One, and to start off in this direction in your life, that in truth, "You and Us" are One", and to start off in this direction, that "You and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) are One", that in truth "You" are the Guru of God, that Guru of God within you, when you stop being Curtis or Angela on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And instead "Give up the ghost" so to speak, give up the "impure spirit" that you have now become, and become the "True Spirit", the "Holy Ghost" within you, which is now the Qutb of God within you, which is what came out of Muhammad on Mi'raj, is what God show Muhammad after the final veil was removed, which now is the "Mirror of the Heart" where you can see yourself as a "16 year old youth" with a downy mustache, and "Speak to God, allowing God to teach you about God, that is, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you. Ok? 10. Closing Comments - is this enough for tonight Grasshopper Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. Please give "Our" love and salams to all of My Children. 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. Amen. Bawa. And as always, please join as "One with" Us within you, and as "One with" God within "Us", to share this sharing with them, by truly becoming the "Good Grasshopper" for your age, that is, as the One who calms all of the Locust "want a bees" of the world, so they return to the state of "Helpful Grasshoppers", improving the condition of the "Flower Garden" in whatever way they can, and in this way. Bawa. That is, in this peaceful state of helping everyone, "As Best They Can", gradually start to carefully observe and begin to emulate the Example of the True "Good Grasshopper" among them, that is, the One among them who truly brought them back to calmness, and in this way, and only in this way, also truly become the "Good Grasshoppers" for their age, for the benefit of all of "Us", in this word and the Next. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
