Establishing "The Presence of God" Within You - is beginning to feel the Shaikh within you, that is, once you have truly joined in partnership with God within you, to again fall into the "Fire of God" within you, as you all were before you "Forgot God" within us by establishing "your own presence" on the "outside" of us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance 2. We Can Know The Shaikh In Two Ways - First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you 3. Stopping Your Hunger - of Your Karma, Desires & Attachments, by joining in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, allowing the Creation of God within you to face Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, before you die to the flesh, if they like, allowing God to "separate from" Himself everything that is "separating Him" from Himself 4. What Is Your Current State And Why? - your current state is "two", that is, "you" and your Shaikh are two separate beings within you, because "you" have not yet "Seen God" within you, and "Steadied God" within you, allowing God within you to "Cure Himself of you", of "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. ============================================================== "Longer Outline" - of "Expanded Version" of Spiritual Discourse 05 Introduction - to Spiritual Discourse 05 1. Establishing "The Presence of God" Within You - is beginning to feel the Shaikh within you, that is, once you have truly joined in partnership with God within you, to again fall into the "Fire of God" within you, giving up oyur current "form of hell" within you, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance we only current see as the illusory "outside" of us, that is, the original state of all of us, within our Shaikh within us, before we "Forgot God" within us, by establishing "our presence" on the "outside" of us, in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, by letting the darkness and evil that is now within us, grow within us, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within us, and that now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with "God's Permission', that is, until we "See God and Steady God' within us, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of "us", of "us" in our current state. May we all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and turn back to "God within us", always acting as if we are "One with" God within us, before we "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, so God within us can then "Make it So" within us, so God can again establish "His Presence" within us, if we like, since this is the Truth of us, and the Truth of God within us, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, as the "Presence of God" within us, allowing God within us to tell and bring to Completion within us the Story of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, or not, all of which is most certainly our Choice, not God's. In this way, may we all Chose wisely, in partnership with God within us, before it is too late to make such a Choice within us, and an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, becomes our eternal lot. Amen 2. You Can Know The Shaikh In Two Ways - First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you, that is, within house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased within Him) within you, as the Beauty of the Purified Heart reflected in the Face 3. Stopping Your Hunger - of Your Karma, Desires & Attachments, by joining in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, allowing the Creation of God within you to face Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within you, before you die to the flesh, if they like, allowing God to "separate from" Himself everything that is "separating Him" from Himself, that is, to pull each aspect of Himself, that has become "separate from" Him, as part of Him telling "His Story' within us, back into Himself, before you die to the flesh, that is, letting them go on the journey again becoming "One with" God within them, if they like, so in the end, at the end of God's telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within you, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within you. Amen 4. What Is Your Current State And Why? - your current state is "two", that is, "you" and your Shaikh are two separate beings within you, because "you" have not yet "Seen God" within you, and "Steadied God" within you, allowing God within you to "Cure Himself of you", of "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. But as long as you stay outside the fire (within you), there will be two (within you). As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh doesn't have, you and He will be two separate beings (within you) ============================================================== Text of Outline & Summary Version - of "Expanded Version" of Spiritual Discourse 05 1. Establishing "The Presence of God" Within You - is beginning to feel the Shaikh within you, that is, once you have truly joined in partnership with God within you, to again fall into the "Fire of God" within you, giving up your current "form of hell" within you, that in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, you only current see as the illusory "outside" of you Expanded Summary of Topic 01: Bawa. You can only truly establish "The Presence" of God within you, when you join in partnership with God within you to again fall into the "Fire or Light of God" within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Fire or Light", so it will never leave you again, all of which is the original state of you and of all of My Children, within your Shaikh within you, that is, before you "Forgot God" within you, by becoming fascinated with the dream on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And in this way, by establishing "your presence" on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, by letting the darkness and evil that is now within you, grow within you, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within you, as the weeds that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body within you, with "God's Permission", that is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God within you to then "Cure Himself of "you", of "you" in your current state, of "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. May you all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and turn back to "God within you", always acting as if you are "One with" God within you, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of you, as this child has learned to do, so God within you can then "Make it So" within you, so God can again establish "His Presence" within you, if you like, since this is the Truth of you, not what you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, and the Truth of God within you, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, as the "Presence of God" within you, allowing God within you to tell and bring to Completion within you the Story of God within the Creation of God within you, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, or not, all of which is most certainly your Choice, not God's. In this way, may you all Chose wisely, in partnership with God within you, before it is too late to make such a wise Choice within you, and an eternal hell within you of "separation from" God within you, becomes your eternal reward. Amen Text of Topic 01: Disciple: In what way, how and where, does the disciple begin to see his Shaikh within ....? His Holiness: Do you see hunger? Have you ever seen hunger coming on? Disciple: I can feel it. 2. You Can Know The Shaikh In Two Ways - First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you, that is, within house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased within Him) within you, as the Beauty of the Purified Heart reflected in the Face) (Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, you must come to clearly understand the two ways of knowing your Shaikh within you, within your body and within your wisdom, that is, First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you, that is, within house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased within Him) within you, as the Beauty of the Purified Heart reflected in the Face) (Bawa. That is, First, as the Light and Form of Iman, as the "First Three Names of Muhammad" within us, within the "World of souls" within us, that is, as Aathi Muhammad (as the Creator or Primal One within us), as Awwal Muhammad (as the Creation within us), and as Hayat Muhammad (as the Pure Birth and Life or soul within us) (blessing and peace be upon Him)) (Bawa. And Second, as the "Aham within the Muham" within you, as the Beauty of the Purified heart reflected in the Awakened Face within you, as the "Next Three Names of Muhammad" within us, within the earth world or dunya within us, that is, as An'um Muhammad (as the nourishment or Grace within us), as Ahmad Muhammad (as the innermost Heart within us), and as Muhammad (as the beauty of the Face which is reflection of the beauty of the heart within you) (blessing and peace be upon Him). (Bawa. And Third, as "True Prayer" within you, as the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, as the judgment of all of the Creation of God within you, before "We" die to the flesh, that is, as the "Last Three Names of Muhammad" within you, within the hereafter or the next world of akhirah within you, that is, as the Nur Muhammad (as the plenitude, the light which became complete within Allah, and then emerged, as the Light within that light within you), as Allah Muhammad (as True Man within God within the Creation of God within you, which brings everything from the earth world or dunya within you over to the next world or akhirah within you), and as Anathi Muhammad) (Bawa. That is, as Anathi or the "Door of Darkness or Lack of Understanding" from which the First Name of Muhammad again appears from within the Effulgence of God within you, so God can again tell His Story, when "A Child Has Been Left Behind", in the last telling of God's Story, but this time in your age, may it be done with "No Child Left Behind", allowing God to bring His Story to Completion within you, allowing everything to fall back into the Din within you, to fall back into the "Original Power" that is God within you, all now as "One with" God within God within you, with nothing still "separate from" God within you, to fall back into the Din of God, from which everything has come, but this time with an understanding of the "God's Oneness" within you, that is, of the One within Creation within you, of the Three within the One within you, of the One within the Three within you, and of the One within the One within you, so "God's Oneness" will never leave you again, so God no longer needs to again tell His Story within you. Amen) (Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now in the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in these Comments to this beautiful discourse, the following, "The Word of God is "Ill Allahu" (You are Allah". Recite this exalted Word. It will be the Treasure of your Life. Recite this Word with Focus. Make it Grow (within you) and see what happens (within you). Learn it and understand it with Wisdom." "It will be good Medicine for your Life. It will be the Beauty of your Life. That Beauty that will lead you to your Lord") [Note: This Quotation is from a discourse by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that was included in the beautiful book of wisdom, published by the "Fellowship Press", called "Questions of Life - Answers of Wisdom", and is also reproduced in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar.

Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] (Bawa. In this way, "We can know the Shaikh in Two Ways", First within "Your Body" as the Light of the Kalimah, as the One "Embracing That One God Who has no form", which is the "Highest point of the Kalimah", that is, First as how we join in partnership with God within us to again become "One", but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again) (Bawa. And in this way, return Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to "His Original State" within us, which is as the Light and Form of Iman within us, which is Islam within us, that is, as the 5 elements within us having joined together again for the "Glory of God" within us, as the "Flower and Fragrance of Heaven" within us, not for their individual glory as we are currently experiencing them within us, as the flower and fragrance of hell within us, as our current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us) (Bawa. That is, return Adam (peace be upon Him) to His Original State within us, as the "Palace of the Soul" within us, as the "House of wisdom" within us, as the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, as the "Ship of the Qutb" within us, as the "11 Weapons of the Qutb" within us, that is, before the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) within us) (Bawa. That is, return Adam (peace be upon Him) to His Original State, before the "Spit of satan", which is our arrogance, karma, and illusion within us, the "Triple Dirt" within us, which is our duality with God within us, weakened Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, separating Him from "Oneness with" God within us, and in this way, establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us in the "Presence of God" within Him, but no longer as "One with" God within us) (Bawa. And before the eventual "Fall of Adam" within us, when in His weakened state of "duality with" God within Him, but still in the "Presence of God" within Him, which is the "Light of our wisdom", or the Nur of God that God originally placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, Adam (peace be upon Him) within us succumbed to the "Ovum of Eve" within us, which is our duality with each other within us, or the Qualities of the Creation of God within us, and in this way, causing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to "Fall from Grace" within us, that is, to turn away from the "Presence of God" within Him, which is the Nur Muhammad that God placed on His forehead, that is, caused Him in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance, to "Forget God" within Him, by joining as "one with" the Creation of God within him to establishing his "own presence" on the "outside" of himself, by allowing the darkness and evil to grow within him, in his ignorance and in his growing arrogance about his ignorance, all of which is our current state) (Bawa. And such is the First way we can know our Shaikh within us, within our body, by joining with God within us to reverse this process, to allow Adam (peace be upon Him) to recover from His "fall from grace", from having "Forgotten God" within us, from having established "his own presence" on the "outside" of him, by becoming "one with" the Creation of God within him, taking on their qualities of "separation and differences", of "I an you", of "mine and yours", that is, by establishing the living Kalimah within us, the "Living Remembrance of God" within us, in everything that we "Say or do or write" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, stepping back on the "outside" of us, so God can step forward within us, before we "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, at the feet of God for this age) (Bawa. Which for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen) (Bawa. And the "Second Way of Being With Our Shaikh", is with "Our Wisdom", as the Flower of the Heart of Purity within us, as the Flower and Fragrance of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us having returned to the state of the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, to the state of the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfi'el, Izra'il, and Ruki'el (peace be upon Them) within us) (Bawa. All of which is like in the story of "Beauty and the Beast" that they recently had in the movies, when in the end, the "Tea Pot and Cups" returned to the housemaid and her children, and the Gargoyles on the castle walls returned to Angels, when the Master of the castle recovered from his "Fall from Selflessness") (Bawa. Who like each of us living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, had become a "beast" on the "outside" of himself, after his "Fall from Selflessness", that is, after in his weakened state he was seduced by "The Dark Side" of himself, by his arrogance, karma, and desire, and his mind and desire, all coming together within him as his "selfishness") (Bawa. But who, through the "Love of a Good Woman", which in truth is "His very own Heart" within him, or the Rahim of God within him, which in truth is the Compassion of God within us, returned to "Prince Charming" on the "outside" of himself, when the "Beauty of God" was again reflected from within "His Purified Heart", which is the "True Husband and Wife" within each of us, if we like) (Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living in the illusory "outside" of us, as the "beast", that is, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen) (Bawa. And in this way, joining in partnership with God within us to allow the first 5 levels of wisdom within us, represented by the 5 Angels within us, to again join as "One" within us, worshipping at the "Feet of God" within us, having become again the Kalimah of God within us, which in truth is the Remembrance of God from within God within us, not on the "outside" of them, as some of My Children are still mistakenly trying to do) (Bawa. And in this way, coming together within themselves as the Light and Form of Iman within us, which in truth is Islam within us, and in this way, to give birth to the True Flower within us, which is the "Flower of the Heart" within us, with the "Ahmad becoming Alhamd" within us, with the 4 letter heart of Alif, mim, hay, and dahl, becoming the 5 letter heart of Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl within us, as the Form of the Triple Flame joined with the Rahman and the Rahim within us, as the Alhamd within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of God" within us, as the "Form of the Suratal Fatihah" or Cause within us, as the "Essence of the 28 Letters" within us) (Bawa. That is, as the Flower and Fragrance of Heaven within us, as the "Heart within the Heart" within us, as the 6th level of wisdom within the 5 levels of wisdom within us, as the station of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, as the awakened wisdom surrounding our heart within us, having won over the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current state on the "outside" of us, and in this way, having liberated our soul from its cross, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us, as "separate from", and sin) (Bawa. And then, having joined as "One with" our liberated soul, have gone in search of, and allowed our soul to again become "One with" God within us, that is, with the Nur of God within us, which is the Light of our wisdom within us, which is the "Body of our soul" within us, in order to establish "True Prayer" within us, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, if we like) (Bawa. For again the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or at least to truly start to again tell His Story within us, before we "die to the flesh in our current state", so God can then do "Everything Else" necessary within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Ok?) (Bawa. That is, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, as our eternal reward) (Bawa. For if we do this, that is, if we do truly join with God within us in "God's Grand Endeavor" within us, and truly willingly and freely give up our "Less-then-useless dream" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, if we do truly let God within us "use us" within Him in this way, as "His Rahman" within God within us, that is, as the "Mighty Ruler of our mind" within us, and as "His Rahim" within God's Rahman within God within us, that is, as the "Slave of our Purified Heart or body" within us, then in the end, "We will be within it") (Bawa. That is, when God has told and Completed His Story within us, with the intention that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", that in the end, that there be nothing within us that is still "separate from" God within us, then in the end, "We will be within Him", as His Witness, as His Understanding, as His Understanding of His Everything, and of His Understanding of His Nothing, or No-thing, that is, as His Nur having become Him within Him, and as His Nothing within That, and He "As Such" He will pull us back into Himself, as the Nothing returning to the Nothing, and "We" will spend eternity together "As One", sharing His Understanding". Amen) (Bawa. Now lets look at this again in more detail, because each of you must truly become this understanding, if you like, and if you do so like, and become this understanding, then you must join with all of your brothers and sisters in this age, to offer them the same, if they like, for always, the Choice is ours, not God's. And this is why you were born, to make this Choice, and if you Choice wisely, to allow others to do the same, for in truth this age is Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) for all of the Creation of God within the 18,000 universes within each of you. Amen) (Bawa. So "We can know our Shaikh in two way", within our body and within our wisdom. First, within "Our Body", that is, through the First World within us, the "World within the World" within us, that is, the "World of Souls within the Earth World" within us, as feeling, awareness, intellect, estimate or judgment, and subtle wisdom within us, which is the first 5 of the 7 levels of wisdom within us, that is, through the 5 Angels of God within us, known as Gabriel, Michael, Israfi'el, Izra'il, and Ruki'el within us, who currently exist, along with our mind and desire, as the 6 false faces within us, as the 6 deadly sins within us, of Lust, Anger, Miserliness, Delusion, Bigotry, and Malice within us, within the 9 openings within us) (Bawa. That is, when we have successful joined with the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul, which is the Qutb of God within us, to do battle with the "Enemy of the soul" within us, which is "us" living in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True") (Bawa. And in this way to convert the soul force within us into the reason, justice, and virtue of the life force within us, by closing down the world of hell, the world of jinns, and the world of fairies within us, and re-opening the "World of souls" within us, all of which are the three current sections below our neck, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we have allowed to open within us, which is the section below our waist, which is false creation within us, and our stomach, which is false destruction within us, and our chest, which is false life within us) (Bawa. And in this way, making our mind and desire sit down within us, by invoking our awakened wisdom within us, that is, by calling it into action within us, by calling out the "Name of God" for our age, before we attempt to "Say, do, or write" anything on the "outside", in this way, always sending the "Correct Message" to God within us, that in truth, we realize that "Everything is always happening" within us, not on the illusory "outside" of us, and that as such, "I do not really exist" in anything that appears to be happening on the illusory "outside" of me, and that as such, "God is my only help", because in truth "Only God exists" within me.) (Bawa. All of which is what this child has learned to do, is how this child has learned to live, within the "Heart of our Shaikh", at the "Feet of our Shaikh". And in this way, learning to establish the 6th level of wisdom within us, which allows "God to Speak" from within us, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the illusory "outside" us, allowing "God to Speak" from within us, to all of His Children for our age, from within His Children. Which is "What is Happening" right now, if you like, that is, with these Words of God coming from within the first six levels of wisdom within us all, not just from this fool. Ok?) Bawa. All of which allows us to then know the Shaikh in the Second way, and that is, in "Our Wisdom", that is, through the Second World within us, as the World of Wisdom within Wisdom within us, as the 7th level of wisdom within the first 6 levels of wisdom within us, as the Guru within the Shaikh within us, as the Light of wisdom within the "House of wisdom" within us, as the "Passenger on the Ship of the Qutb" within us, as the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, as "True Prayer" from within the Creation of God within us, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. If we like, for the Choice to do this or not is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, to allow God to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen (Note: For more on these Wisdom Points, please see Chapter 1, "The Shepherd and the Tree", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with Him), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for the life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation and differences" as our eternal reward, is to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again.

Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] His Holiness: "Right, it is a feeling. This is how you will know the Shaikh, in your feeling. If you come to the right state, you will experience the Shaikh in the same way. You won't see Him, but you will be going behind Him". "If you have accepted the Shaikh and surrendered to Him, you can come to that state and know Him within your body (as feeling, awareness, and intellect, as estimate or judgment, and as subtle wisdom, that is, as a life of clarity within your life), and within your wisdom (as the "Presence of God" within you)". 3. Stopping The Hunger - of Your Karma, Desires & Attachments by joining in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, allowing the Creation of God within us to face Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, before we die to the flesh, if they like, allowing God to "separate from" Himself everything that is "separating Him" from Himself, that is, to pull each aspect of Himself, that has become "separate from" Him, as part of Him telling "His Story' within us, back into Himself, before we die to the flesh, that is, letting them to go on the journey again becoming "One with" God within them, if they like, so in the end, at the end of God's telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us. Amen "Look at this thing called hunger. You can't see it, but within your perception and awareness, you can feel it plucking at you. And when you give it the right kind of food, the hunger keeps quiet, doesn't it." "In the same way, if you imbibe your Shaikh in the right manner, that will stop the hunger of your karma, the hunger of your avarice, and the hunger of your desires and attachment (allowing them to sit down within you, as your wisdom stands up within you, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, that is, if your intention is for the life within you, for your soul life, to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you as your eternal reward, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen)" "If you drop a bee into the fire, what will happen? It will burn up. The flames will consume it. Where is the bee then? The bee has merged with the fire and the fire has merged with the bee. The bee and the fire are one. There is no difference between them any more." "In the same way, if you become a true disciple or devotee, and if you serve the Shaikh in the correct way, if you truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh, then the "you" will be dead and gone. Only the fire will remain, and if someone tries to touch you at that time, his hand will burn." 4. What Is Our Current State And Why? - our current state is "two", that is, "us" and our Shaikh are two separate beings within us, because "we" have not yet "Seen God" within us, and "Steadied God" within us, allowing God within us to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "out But as long as you stay outside the fire (within you), there will be two (within you). As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh doesn't have, you and He will be two separate beings (within you). (Bawa. That is, you and He will be "separate" within you, that is, you as your mind and desire, as "One with" the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you, as the 9 openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission", and He as the "Presence of God" within you, that is, within the tiny piece of flesh within you, no bigger than an atom, where God, everything "Within God", and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God", live within you) (Bawa. And what "God is doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, is trying to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, until you stopped Him within you) (Bawa. That is, when you, in partnership with your mother and father, that is, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, when you established your "own presence" on the "outside" of you, just like your mother and father did before you, and their mother and father did before them, and in this way, you stopped what God had started to do within you a very, very long time ago, that is, until you stopped Him, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, all of which is about God telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within you, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, before you die to the flesh in your state, and you, and everything currently living within you, that is, living within your mind and desire within you, get an eternal hell as "separate from" God within you, as your eternal reward) "Only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh (will you become the clarity within your body, and the "Presence of God" within your wisdom). Then right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood will be understood directly. And when you see something that is right, you will always recognize it as right." "When you are in that state, at that level of wisdom, all things will be explained. That will be the correct food to appease your hunger (that is, the hunger of your karma, avarice, and of your desires and attachments, allowing them to sit down for the first time within you, allowing you to experience the "Peace of mind" of God within you, allowing the "Mighty Mind", the Rahman to come and Rule within you. Amen)." "That level of wisdom will know. There will be no room for wrong; you will be filled with right." (Bawa. So right and wrong is not something that you can experience, or learn or become in the dream, it is only when the dream ends within you, and in this way, you become the fire of wisdom within you, that is, the clarity of your body, and the "Presence of God" within ;your wisdom, and in this state differentiate everything within you, everything within the darkness and evil within you, into heaven and hell within you, that you can begin to experience right and wrong within you, experience it in truth as "who you are", gradually taking what is good into yourself, and discarding from you what is bad, as God did before within Himself, before He became God within you) (Bawa. For "who you are" in truth is always "what is within us", not as My Children still mistakenly believe, that is, believing that "who you are", or "what defines you", is a collection of experiences on the "outside" of you, that is, that "who you are" is what you are experiencing on the "outside" of you, as yourself, for Example, your body, wife, children, house, job, friends, memory, thoughts, learning, experiences, but all of which is "Just Not True") (Bawa. For until you become "One with" your Shaikh, and awaken your wisdom, and liberate your soul, and in this way, end the dream within you, all that you can ever experience is the dream within you, not right and wrong on the "outside" of you, that is, all you can experience is a dream within you, that in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, you still believe that you are experiencing on the "outside" of you, experiencing it as you, and as everything that defines you, and that defines everyone and everything else, but a dream which in truth is always within you, never really on the "outside" of you, a dream within you that is always reflecting all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance) (Bawa. That is, the dream produced by all of the lives of darkness and evil within you, who have all joined together within you to create a co-operative store within you, for profit, as the flower and fragrance of hell within us, all of which in truth is the dream of wisdom within you, of the wisdom surrounding your soul, who is currently sleeping within you, and having this dream, all of which gives "you" the illusion of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you) (Bawa. That is, the illusion or dream of you living on the "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the creation of God within you, but all of which is "Just Not True", which you will not really appreciate until your wisdom awakens from its dream, and liberates your soul, from the cross of your elemental body, and goes in search of the Nur, of the Light of wisdom within you, the body of the soul within you, and in this way, ending the dream and allowing the life within us, the soul life, to again become "One with" God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen) "But as long as you do not attain such a state, (as long as you do not fall into the fire of wisdom within you, but stay as the dream of the Shaikh within you, and fail to join with the Shaikh on the "outside" of you, to awaken and become the Shaikh within you, that is, become the "Presence of God" within you), you will not have this inner awareness".

You can only truly establish "The Presence" of God within you, when you join in partnership with God within you to again fall into the "Fire or Light of God" within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Fire or Light", so it will never leave you again, all of which is the original state of you and of all of My Children, within your Shaikh within you, that is, before you "Forgot God" within you, by becoming fascinated with the dream on the "outside" of you. Bawa. And in this way, by establishing "your presence" on the "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, by letting the darkness and evil that is now within you, grow within you, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden" within you, as the weeds that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body within you, with "God's Permission", that is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God within you to then "Cure Himself of "you", of "you" in your current state, of "you" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

May you all know this now, without the slightest doubt, and turn back to "God within you", always acting as if you are "One with" God within you, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of you, as this child has learned to do, so God within you can then "Make it So" within you, so God can again establish "His Presence" within you, if you like, since this is the Truth of you, not what you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, and the Truth of God within you, if you like. Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, as the "Presence of God" within you, allowing God within you to tell and bring to Completion within you the Story of God within the Creation of God within you, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, or not, all of which is most certainly your Choice, not God's. In this way, may you all Chose wisely, in partnership with God within you, before it is too late to make such a wise Choice within you, and an eternal hell within you of "separation from" God within you, becomes your eternal reward.

Disciple: I can feel it. 2. You Can Know The Shaikh In Two Ways - First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you, that is, within house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased within Him) within you, as the Beauty of the Purified Heart reflected in the Face) (Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, you must come to clearly understand the two ways of knowing your Shaikh within you, within your body and within your wisdom, that is, First within your body, as the "Body within the body", or the "World within the world", which is the "First World" within you, or the "World of souls" within this earth world or dunya within you, as the Light Body of the Kalimah, and Second, within your wisdom, as "Wisdom within Wisdom", which is the "Second World" within you, or the "Secret World of Allah" within the House of wisdom within you, that is, within house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased within Him) within you, as the Beauty of the Purified Heart reflected in the Face) (Bawa. That is, First, as the Light and Form of Iman, as the "First Three Names of Muhammad" within us, within the "World of souls" within us, that is, as Aathi Muhammad (as the Creator or Primal One within us), as Awwal Muhammad (as the Creation within us), and as Hayat Muhammad (as the Pure Birth and Life or soul within us) (blessing and peace be upon Him)) (Bawa. And Second, as the "Aham within the Muham" within you, as the Beauty of the Purified heart reflected in the Awakened Face within you, as the "Next Three Names of Muhammad" within us, within the earth world or dunya within us, that is, as An'um Muhammad (as the nourishment or Grace within us), as Ahmad Muhammad (as the innermost Heart within us), and as Muhammad (as the beauty of the Face which is reflection of the beauty of the heart within you) (blessing and peace be upon Him).

And Third, as "True Prayer" within you, as the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, as the judgment of all of the Creation of God within you, before "We" die to the flesh, that is, as the "Last Three Names of Muhammad" within you, within the hereafter or the next world of akhirah within you, that is, as the Nur Muhammad (as the plenitude, the light which became complete within Allah, and then emerged, as the Light within that light within you), as Allah Muhammad (as True Man within God within the Creation of God within you, which brings everything from the earth world or dunya within you over to the next world or akhirah within you), and as Anathi Muhammad) (Bawa. That is, as Anathi or the "Door of Darkness or Lack of Understanding" from which the First Name of Muhammad again appears from within the Effulgence of God within you, so God can again tell His Story, when "A Child Has Been Left Behind", in the last telling of God's Story, but this time in your age, may it be done with "No Child Left Behind", allowing God to bring His Story to Completion within you, allowing everything to fall back into the Din within you, to fall back into the "Original Power" that is God within you, all now as "One with" God within God within you, with nothing still "separate from" God within you, to fall back into the Din of God, from which everything has come, but this time with an understanding of the "God's Oneness" within you, that is, of the One within Creation within you, of the Three within the One within you, of the One within the Three within you, and of the One within the One within you, so "God's Oneness" will never leave you again, so God no longer needs to again tell His Story within you. Amen) (Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now in the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in these Comments to this beautiful discourse, the following, "The Word of God is "Ill Allahu" (You are Allah". Recite this exalted Word. It will be the Treasure of your Life. Recite this Word with Focus. Make it Grow (within you) and see what happens (within you). Learn it and understand it with Wisdom." "It will be good Medicine for your Life. It will be the Beauty of your Life. That Beauty that will lead you to your Lord") [Note: This Quotation is from a discourse by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) that was included in the beautiful book of wisdom, published by the "Fellowship Press", called "Questions of Life - Answers of Wisdom", and is also reproduced in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar. A full copy of this discourse is not currently available within the On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (www.Bawa.homestead.com).

Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] (Bawa. In this way, "We can know the Shaikh in Two Ways", First within "Your Body" as the Light of the Kalimah, as the One "Embracing That One God Who has no form", which is the "Highest point of the Kalimah", that is, First as how we join in partnership with God within us to again become "One", but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again) (Bawa. And in this way, return Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to "His Original State" within us, which is as the Light and Form of Iman within us, which is Islam within us, that is, as the 5 elements within us having joined together again for the "Glory of God" within us, as the "Flower and Fragrance of Heaven" within us, not for their individual glory as we are currently experiencing them within us, as the flower and fragrance of hell within us, as our current life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us) (Bawa. That is, return Adam (peace be upon Him) to His Original State within us, as the "Palace of the Soul" within us, as the "House of wisdom" within us, as the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, as the "Ship of the Qutb" within us, as the "11 Weapons of the Qutb" within us, that is, before the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) within us) (Bawa. That is, return Adam (peace be upon Him) to His Original State, before the "Spit of satan", which is our arrogance, karma, and illusion within us, the "Triple Dirt" within us, which is our duality with God within us, weakened Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, separating Him from "Oneness with" God within us, and in this way, establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us in the "Presence of God" within Him, but no longer as "One with" God within us) (Bawa. And before the eventual "Fall of Adam" within us, when in His weakened state of "duality with" God within Him, but still in the "Presence of God" within Him, which is the "Light of our wisdom", or the Nur of God that God originally placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, Adam (peace be upon Him) within us succumbed to the "Ovum of Eve" within us, which is our duality with each other within us, or the Qualities of the Creation of God within us, and in this way, causing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to "Fall from Grace" within us, that is, to turn away from the "Presence of God" within Him, which is the Nur Muhammad that God placed on His forehead, that is, caused Him in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance, to "Forget God" within Him, by joining as "one with" the Creation of God within him to establishing his "own presence" on the "outside" of himself, by allowing the darkness and evil to grow within him, in his ignorance and in his growing arrogance about his ignorance, all of which is our current state) (Bawa. And such is the First way we can know our Shaikh within us, within our body, by joining with God within us to reverse this process, to allow Adam (peace be upon Him) to recover from His "fall from grace", from having "Forgotten God" within us, from having established "his own presence" on the "outside" of him, by becoming "one with" the Creation of God within him, taking on their qualities of "separation and differences", of "I an you", of "mine and yours", that is, by establishing the living Kalimah within us, the "Living Remembrance of God" within us, in everything that we "Say or do or write" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, stepping back on the "outside" of us, so God can step forward within us, before we "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do, at the feet of God for this age) (Bawa. Which for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, again becoming "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness" so it will never leave us again. Amen) (Bawa. And the "Second Way of Being With Our Shaikh", is with "Our Wisdom", as the Flower of the Heart of Purity within us, as the Flower and Fragrance of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us having returned to the state of the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, to the state of the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israfi'el, Izra'il, and Ruki'el (peace be upon Them) within us) (Bawa. All of which is like in the story of "Beauty and the Beast" that they recently had in the movies, when in the end, the "Tea Pot and Cups" returned to the housemaid and her children, and the Gargoyles on the castle walls returned to Angels, when the Master of the castle recovered from his "Fall from Selflessness") (Bawa. Who like each of us living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, had become a "beast" on the "outside" of himself, after his "Fall from Selflessness", that is, after in his weakened state he was seduced by "The Dark Side" of himself, by his arrogance, karma, and desire, and his mind and desire, all coming together within him as his "selfishness") (Bawa. But who, through the "Love of a Good Woman", which in truth is "His very own Heart" within him, or the Rahim of God within him, which in truth is the Compassion of God within us, returned to "Prince Charming" on the "outside" of himself, when the "Beauty of God" was again reflected from within "His Purified Heart", which is the "True Husband and Wife" within each of us, if we like) (Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living in the illusory "outside" of us, as the "beast", that is, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen) (Bawa. And in this way, joining in partnership with God within us to allow the first 5 levels of wisdom within us, represented by the 5 Angels within us, to again join as "One" within us, worshipping at the "Feet of God" within us, having become again the Kalimah of God within us, which in truth is the Remembrance of God from within God within us, not on the "outside" of them, as some of My Children are still mistakenly trying to do) (Bawa. And in this way, coming together within themselves as the Light and Form of Iman within us, which in truth is Islam within us, and in this way, to give birth to the True Flower within us, which is the "Flower of the Heart" within us, with the "Ahmad becoming Alhamd" within us, with the 4 letter heart of Alif, mim, hay, and dahl, becoming the 5 letter heart of Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl within us, as the Form of the Triple Flame joined with the Rahman and the Rahim within us, as the Alhamd within us, which is the "Secret Form of the Truth of God" within us, as the "Form of the Suratal Fatihah" or Cause within us, as the "Essence of the 28 Letters" within us) (Bawa. That is, as the Flower and Fragrance of Heaven within us, as the "Heart within the Heart" within us, as the 6th level of wisdom within the 5 levels of wisdom within us, as the station of the Qutbiyyat of God within us, as the awakened wisdom surrounding our heart within us, having won over the "Enemy of our soul", which is our current state on the "outside" of us, and in this way, having liberated our soul from its cross, by pulling out the 5 nails of "our desire" to live on the "outside" of us, as "separate from", and sin) (Bawa. And then, having joined as "One with" our liberated soul, have gone in search of, and allowed our soul to again become "One with" God within us, that is, with the Nur of God within us, which is the Light of our wisdom within us, which is the "Body of our soul" within us, in order to establish "True Prayer" within us, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, if we like) (Bawa. For again the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, to let God tell and bring to Completion His Story within us, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, or at least to truly start to again tell His Story within us, before we "die to the flesh in our current state", so God can then do "Everything Else" necessary within us, to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Ok?) (Bawa. That is, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, as our eternal reward) (Bawa. For if we do this, that is, if we do truly join with God within us in "God's Grand Endeavor" within us, and truly willingly and freely give up our "Less-then-useless dream" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, if we do truly let God within us "use us" within Him in this way, as "His Rahman" within God within us, that is, as the "Mighty Ruler of our mind" within us, and as "His Rahim" within God's Rahman within God within us, that is, as the "Slave of our Purified Heart or body" within us, then in the end, "We will be within it") (Bawa. That is, when God has told and Completed His Story within us, with the intention that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind", that in the end, that there be nothing within us that is still "separate from" God within us, then in the end, "We will be within Him", as His Witness, as His Understanding, as His Understanding of His Everything, and of His Understanding of His Nothing, or No-thing, that is, as His Nur having become Him within Him, and as His Nothing within That, and He "As Such" He will pull us back into Himself, as the Nothing returning to the Nothing, and "We" will spend eternity together "As One", sharing His Understanding". Amen) (Bawa. Now lets look at this again in more detail, because each of you must truly become this understanding, if you like, and if you do so like, and become this understanding, then you must join with all of your brothers and sisters in this age, to offer them the same, if they like, for always, the Choice is ours, not God's. And this is why you were born, to make this Choice, and if you Choice wisely, to allow others to do the same, for in truth this age is Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) for all of the Creation of God within the 18,000 universes within each of you. Amen) (Bawa. So "We can know our Shaikh in two way", within our body and within our wisdom. First, within "Our Body", that is, through the First World within us, the "World within the World" within us, that is, the "World of Souls within the Earth World" within us, as feeling, awareness, intellect, estimate or judgment, and subtle wisdom within us, which is the first 5 of the 7 levels of wisdom within us, that is, through the 5 Angels of God within us, known as Gabriel, Michael, Israfi'el, Izra'il, and Ruki'el within us, who currently exist, along with our mind and desire, as the 6 false faces within us, as the 6 deadly sins within us, of Lust, Anger, Miserliness, Delusion, Bigotry, and Malice within us, within the 9 openings within us) (Bawa. That is, when we have successful joined with the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul, which is the Qutb of God within us, to do battle with the "Enemy of the soul" within us, which is "us" living in our current state of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True") (Bawa. And in this way to convert the soul force within us into the reason, justice, and virtue of the life force within us, by closing down the world of hell, the world of jinns, and the world of fairies within us, and re-opening the "World of souls" within us, all of which are the three current sections below our neck, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance, we have allowed to open within us, which is the section below our waist, which is false creation within us, and our stomach, which is false destruction within us, and our chest, which is false life within us) (Bawa. And in this way, making our mind and desire sit down within us, by invoking our awakened wisdom within us, that is, by calling it into action within us, by calling out the "Name of God" for our age, before we attempt to "Say, do, or write" anything on the "outside", in this way, always sending the "Correct Message" to God within us, that in truth, we realize that "Everything is always happening" within us, not on the illusory "outside" of us, and that as such, "I do not really exist" in anything that appears to be happening on the illusory "outside" of me, and that as such, "God is my only help", because in truth "Only God exists" within me.) (Bawa. All of which is what this child has learned to do, is how this child has learned to live, within the "Heart of our Shaikh", at the "Feet of our Shaikh". And in this way, learning to establish the 6th level of wisdom within us, which allows "God to Speak" from within us, before we "Say or do or write" anything on the illusory "outside" us, allowing "God to Speak" from within us, to all of His Children for our age, from within His Children. Which is "What is Happening" right now, if you like, that is, with these Words of God coming from within the first six levels of wisdom within us all, not just from this fool. Ok?) Bawa. All of which allows us to then know the Shaikh in the Second way, and that is, in "Our Wisdom", that is, through the Second World within us, as the World of Wisdom within Wisdom within us, as the 7th level of wisdom within the first 6 levels of wisdom within us, as the Guru within the Shaikh within us, as the Light of wisdom within the "House of wisdom" within us, as the "Passenger on the Ship of the Qutb" within us, as the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, as "True Prayer" from within the Creation of God within us, which is the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. If we like, for the Choice to do this or not is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, to allow God to finish what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen (Note: For more on these Wisdom Points, please see Chapter 1, "The Shepherd and the Tree", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with Him), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for the life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state and get an eternal hell of "separation and differences" as our eternal reward, is to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again.

Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] His Holiness: "Right, it is a feeling. This is how you will know the Shaikh, in your feeling. If you come to the right state, you will experience the Shaikh in the same way. You won't see Him, but you will be going behind Him". "If you have accepted the Shaikh and surrendered to Him, you can come to that state and know Him within your body (as feeling, awareness, and intellect, as estimate or judgment, and as subtle wisdom, that is, as a life of clarity within your life), and within your wisdom (as the "Presence of God" within you)". 3. Stopping The Hunger - of Your Karma, Desires & Attachments by joining in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, allowing the Creation of God within us to face Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, before we die to the flesh, if they like, allowing God to "separate from" Himself everything that is "separating Him" from Himself, that is, to pull each aspect of Himself, that has become "separate from" Him, as part of Him telling "His Story' within us, back into Himself, before we die to the flesh, that is, letting them to go on the journey again becoming "One with" God within them, if they like, so in the end, at the end of God's telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, that in the end, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us. Amen "Look at this thing called hunger. You can't see it, but within your perception and awareness, you can feel it plucking at you. And when you give it the right kind of food, the hunger keeps quiet, doesn't it." "In the same way, if you imbibe your Shaikh in the right manner, that will stop the hunger of your karma, the hunger of your avarice, and the hunger of your desires and attachment (allowing them to sit down within you, as your wisdom stands up within you, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, that is, if your intention is for the life within you, for your soul life, to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state, and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you as your eternal reward, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen)" "If you drop a bee into the fire, what will happen? It will burn up. The flames will consume it. Where is the bee then? The bee has merged with the fire and the fire has merged with the bee. The bee and the fire are one. There is no difference between them any more." "In the same way, if you become a true disciple or devotee, and if you serve the Shaikh in the correct way, if you truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh, then the "you" will be dead and gone. Only the fire will remain, and if someone tries to touch you at that time, his hand will burn." 4. What Is Our Current State And Why? - our current state is "two", that is, "us" and our Shaikh are two separate beings within us, because "we" have not yet "Seen God" within us, and "Steadied God" within us, allowing God within us to "Cure Himself of us", of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "out But as long as you stay outside the fire (within you), there will be two (within you). As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh doesn't have, you and He will be two separate beings (within you). (Bawa. That is, you and He will be "separate" within you, that is, you as your mind and desire, as "One with" the lives of darkness and evil that have grown within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you, as the 9 openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission", and He as the "Presence of God" within you, that is, within the tiny piece of flesh within you, no bigger than an atom, where God, everything "Within God", and what "God is doing" with what is "Within God", live within you) (Bawa. And what "God is doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, is trying to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, until you stopped Him within you) (Bawa. That is, when you, in partnership with your mother and father, that is, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, when you established your "own presence" on the "outside" of you, just like your mother and father did before you, and their mother and father did before them, and in this way, you stopped what God had started to do within you a very, very long time ago, that is, until you stopped Him, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, all of which is about God telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within you, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, before you die to the flesh in your state, and you, and everything currently living within you, that is, living within your mind and desire within you, get an eternal hell as "separate from" God within you, as your eternal reward) "Only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh (will you become the clarity within your body, and the "Presence of God" within your wisdom). Then right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood will be understood directly. And when you see something that is right, you will always recognize it as right." "When you are in that state, at that level of wisdom, all things will be explained. That will be the correct food to appease your hunger (that is, the hunger of your karma, avarice, and of your desires and attachments, allowing them to sit down for the first time within you, allowing you to experience the "Peace of mind" of God within you, allowing the "Mighty Mind", the Rahman to come and Rule within you. Amen)." "That level of wisdom will know. There will be no room for wrong; you will be filled with right." (Bawa. So right and wrong is not something that you can experience, or learn or become in the dream, it is only when the dream ends within you, and in this way, you become the fire of wisdom within you, that is, the clarity of your body, and the "Presence of God" within ;your wisdom, and in this state differentiate everything within you, everything within the darkness and evil within you, into heaven and hell within you, that you can begin to experience right and wrong within you, experience it in truth as "who you are", gradually taking what is good into yourself, and discarding from you what is bad, as God did before within Himself, before He became God within you) (Bawa. For "who you are" in truth is always "what is within us", not as My Children still mistakenly believe, that is, believing that "who you are", or "what defines you", is a collection of experiences on the "outside" of you, that is, that "who you are" is what you are experiencing on the "outside" of you, as yourself, for Example, your body, wife, children, house, job, friends, memory, thoughts, learning, experiences, but all of which is "Just Not True") (Bawa. For until you become "One with" your Shaikh, and awaken your wisdom, and liberate your soul, and in this way, end the dream within you, all that you can ever experience is the dream within you, not right and wrong on the "outside" of you, that is, all you can experience is a dream within you, that in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, you still believe that you are experiencing on the "outside" of you, experiencing it as you, and as everything that defines you, and that defines everyone and everything else, but a dream which in truth is always within you, never really on the "outside" of you, a dream within you that is always reflecting all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance) (Bawa. That is, the dream produced by all of the lives of darkness and evil within you, who have all joined together within you to create a co-operative store within you, for profit, as the flower and fragrance of hell within us, all of which in truth is the dream of wisdom within you, of the wisdom surrounding your soul, who is currently sleeping within you, and having this dream, all of which gives "you" the illusion of a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you) (Bawa. That is, the illusion or dream of you living on the "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other, and as if you are "separate from" the creation of God within you, but all of which is "Just Not True", which you will not really appreciate until your wisdom awakens from its dream, and liberates your soul, from the cross of your elemental body, and goes in search of the Nur, of the Light of wisdom within you, the body of the soul within you, and in this way, ending the dream and allowing the life within us, the soul life, to again become "One with" God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen) "But as long as you do not attain such a state, (as long as you do not fall into the fire of wisdom within you, but stay as the dream of the Shaikh within you, and fail to join with the Shaikh on the "outside" of you, to awaken and become the Shaikh within you, that is, become the "Presence of God" within you), you will not have this inner awareness".
