"Surrender Is Not Just Going Along, Blindly Doing What God Has Said, For Your Age And Now For All Life, But Rather Surrender Is To "Fully Participate" In What God Is "Now Doing" With What Is Now "Within God" Within You, Which Is "Revealing God To God" Within You, For The Benefit of All of The "Creation of God", Within God Within You"
Longer Title of Spiritual Letter:
Son, it is a very rare wonder for a man to be born wise.
The Formless Lord, the Faultless King, the Greatest Creator, The Primordial, Compassionate One, the Effulgence that governs the several universes,
That Formless Ruler Was Determined, To Create Man And Woman As Human.
To Do This, that is, to Create Man and Woman as Human,
God Replaced Darkness With Grace, (Which is Replacing "our faith" or "our belief in God" with Iman or God's Faith and Belief in God) And God Converted The Four Purest Essences Of Duty, Charity, Generosity, And Patience Into The Four Elements, (Which is Jesus [A.S.] as The Crystal Heart or God's 6th level of wisdom) And With God's Grace Of Light, God Made Bliss of The "Earth World" or Maya (Which is Muhammad [Sal.] as The Kingdom of God or God's 7th level of wisdom) And Made The Incomparable Breath (Which Is God breathing Out & Then In, Or God Telling His Story) The Temple Of The Kings Grace (All of Which is True Man as The Story of God, That is, As The Story of "God within True Man", Hidden Within The Story of "True Man within God", Both Making Up God's One Story, The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man") - M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)".

Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate.
Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen.
Bawa. My love you (anbu), My dearest loving Grand Children, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters, and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
About Spiritual Letter 155 Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of Spiritual Letter 155, for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and to All of My Children, who in truth is My Dearest Loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh.
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, you can avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, for in truth,
"Hell Is Simply The Realization That you have "separated yourself" From God within you, Which in truth means that you have Separated "yourself " From "Yourself" within you, From Your Higher Self within you, If You Are Not Wise, If You Don't Again Become One With God within you, Before you die to the flesh, But this time with an Understanding Of Who "You Already Are", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you Again, Because in truth the Choice is yours, not God's"
Bawa. All of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate God to God within you, which in truth is the True Disciple, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And that this child learned to do when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of me and then within me, becoming "One with" the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which all of My Children can still do, if you like, but Now by becoming "One with" the One True Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) As Now "Us" for My Children, as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like.
Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the true result of the "current life and state" of all of My Children, So in the End you don't get some illusory heaven on another "outside" of yourself, as My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. But instead, you become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, but this time with you doing it using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as "Us", as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you as your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and then within you as "Us", as Now Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. And if you do, that is, if you truly learn How To Do this "Hearts Work" correctly, before you die to the flesh, or at least Truly Start to, then your soul life, which is Jesus (peace be upon), your 6th life within you, will "Become Free".
Bawa. For in truth all that is Now Stopping "This Freedom of the soul", is "you", is Now your "current form and state", all of which in truth is Now "you" as "the form and state of the satan", which in truth is Now "you" as the "anti-christ", which is Now "you" as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself as "separate from, that is, as a life of selfishness, of sin, of "separation and differences", that is, with "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. And Only in this way will you truly become successful in your lifetime, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, Only in this way will "You" as "One with" Us, with "You" as "One with" God, will "You" as Jesus (A.S.) get off of Your Cross, by Letting "Us" destroy the "anti-christ", that is, by Letting "Us" destroy "you" as "separate from", and reveal "You" as "One with".
Bawa. Only in this way will You Learn Again How To Live as God's Purity, joined as "One with" God's Consciousness, in search of God's Light, but this time for eternity, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, this "Spiritual Letter 152" on the "True Meaning of the Word Swamiyar" is "A True Love Letter" to Our Dearest Loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. "A True Love Letter" To the "Inner Heart" and From the "Outer Heart" of all of My Children, that is, To your "Inner Heart" within you, which in truth is Now the True Fellowship within all of My Children, which in truth is Now "Us" living within "Your Wisdom", which in truth is Now "Us" living within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. And "A True Love Letter" From your "Outer Heart", for a little while on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now the heart of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased".
Bawa. Therefore, "A True Love Letter" that you can Only Send To "Us", by you Now Learning How To Become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, by you First Learning How To Become "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, because in truth,
"What is Separating you from God, Is what is Separating you from each other, And what is Separating you from each other, Is what is Separating you from God" Amen.
Expanded Title - of Spiritual Letter 155
"Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You To Become "One With" Us Within You, In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You, In Order To Truly Understand "Who You Already Are", And "Where You Already Are", And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life, While You Still Can, Before This Kind of Understanding Is No Longer Available To You, Because You Have Become What God Has Discarded From Himself, In Order To Become God Within You. That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?"
Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who have truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you.
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. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

======================================================================== Outline & "Short Summary" of Spiritual Letter 155 - that is, an "Outline" with a "Short Summary" of the Main Wisdom Points of Spiritual Letter 155
1. Introduction - Greetings of "Oneness", from the "Oneness", that is, from the "Open Heart" to the "Open Heart" as truly the "One Life", not two separate lives 2. Your Mother's Concerns - About her son and about her husband, and about the importance of proper guidance "From God" for both of them, specifically about her son going to Kentucky without first asking Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) permission, about the need for her son to accept the guidance of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in his life, about the general health of her husband, about the recent pains in her husband's chest, and about the importance of her husband and son going to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship whenever and while they still cann 3. The "Great Contrast" In Your Life - is between "True Man" and "false man" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between man living his life as a "Human Being", as God within you, and man living his life as a "beast", as "the satan" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the Great Contrast between Your Physical Guru/Shaikh" and "yourself, that is, the Great Contrast between the life of wisdom and the life of "mind and desire", that is, the Great Contrast between the "Form of God" and the "form of the satan" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the "Child of Light" and the "child of darkness" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the Light of the Physical Guru/Shaikh and the "shadow" of the Physical Guru/Shaikh, that is, the Great Contrast between God and what is "Within God" within you, and "the satan" and what is "within the satan" within you
4. Understanding "God's Purpose" In Your Life - which in truth is what is Always "Really Happening" in your life, as Contrasted with "your purpose" in your life, which in truth is what is Never "Really Happening" in your life, all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, because in truth "you are not Ever doing anything", Ever, because in truth "you do not Ever exist", Ever, because in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is "God's Action" in your life, not you, and in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is who is "Really Alive" in your life, not you. And in this way, Your Physical Guru/Shaikh is why you are alive, not because of you, or because of anything that you do, or failed to do, and not because of your parents, or because of your friends or family, or your race and religion, for in truth you are "What He Is Doing", you are what your Physical Guru/Shaikh is doing. And what "He Is Doing" is Telling God Story, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, He is Telling God's Story to whatever level "you will let Him" tell it, because in truth "The Choice" is yours, not God's, that is the Choice of whose Story is told during your lifetime, Either God's Story, Or "the satan's story", because in truth "you have no story".
5. Understanding "Eternity" In Your Life - which in truth is Where Everyone and Everything will Next End Up within you, because in truth "All of It" is truly within each of My Children, because that in truth is "Who You Are", you are Where and How God tells and brings to Completion His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which has truly "Come Out of You", and truly "Came Out" of each of My Children, and all of which Must Now Go Back Into You, and Go Back into each of My Children, all of which is Where and How God tells His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". And All of this is Now "A Given" within each of My Children, because God has Now "Made It So" for your age and for all life. The Only Question Left is, "Where and Who will you be" for eternity within you, "Where and Who" will each of My Children be, for eternity within you. That is, will you be God within True Man within the 8th heaven within you, as the Form of God, as the Kingdom of God within you, all of which includes the 8 heavens and the 7 hells within you, all of which are Now within True Man within God within you, Or will you be an inhabitant in one of the 7 heavens within you, as the "Form of God's Angels and Prophets", as the "Essence of the World of souls", Or will you be an inhabitant in one of 7 hells within you, as the "Form of a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost", as the "Essence of the World of hell", for in truth "The Choice is Yours", not God's, because God has Now "Made it so", God has Now "Made it your Choice", not His, for in truth "The Justice of God Is That Whatever You Intend Is What You Receive", and that is for sure.
6. The Meaning Of "True Surrender" - is Joining in Partnership, as "One with" God, in Everything That God Is Now Doing, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not passively going along with what in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you think God has Now told you to do in your age, all of which in truth is just false, is "Just Not True". 7. How To Make "Correct Decisions" In Your Life - is to Continually Expand Your Consciousness and Life to Include God Also as "Who You Are", that is, to Include God, First on the "outside" of you, as your Physical Guru/Shaikh, and then within you, as God within You as the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as Also "Who You Are", and to include what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, as Also "Who You Are". And what "God Is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do
8. The Value of The "Physical Guru/Shaikh" - is First, to demonstrate to God the "True Disciple", that is, the "True Disciple" that is beyond the ego, that is beyond your own mind and desires, that is, to demonstrate to God true faith and trust in God. And Second, to "See God and Steady God" within you, by Realizing, Understanding, Accepting, and Joining as "One with" the Physical Guru/Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as the "Presence of God", and as the "Word of God" make flesh for your age and Now for all life. And Third, to be of service, of value to the Physical Guru/Shaikh as the "shadow of the Guru", Letting Him be your Light, Letting Him use you up as this Contrast between "you" and the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as the Contrast between the "shadow" and the "Light', all of which in truth is Now "Who you are", that is, as the School of Contrast" within you, the "First of God's Schools" within you, that He uses to liberate your soul and take it to God, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you and fill It With Truth, that is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you that is Now hidden within the "child of darkness" within you, and Let It "Elevate Itself" to God, like a balloon rising "All By Itself" once it is filled with helium. And in this way, Let Him "Awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, So the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the Enemy of your soul, which in truth is you", bringing to an End "you", the ego life, the life of "the satan" within you, the "Enemy of the soul", bringing to an End "you", before you die to the flesh, or at least truly Starting to, bringing to an End "you" living a life of "separation and differences" 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen.
9. The Choice Is Yours, Not God's - that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", for the benefit of your "One Life", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", for the benefit of your "separate life", all of which is "Just Not True"

The "Great Contrast" In Your Life - is between "True Man" and "false man" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between man living his life as a "Human Being", as God within you, and man living his life as a "beast", as "the satan" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the Great Contrast between Your Physical Guru/Shaikh" and "yourself, that is, the Great Contrast between the life of wisdom and the life of "mind and desire", that is, the Great Contrast between the "Form of God" and the "form of the satan" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the "Child of Light" and the "child of darkness" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the Light of the Physical Guru/Shaikh and the "shadow" of the Physical Guru/Shaikh, that is, the Great Contrast between God and what is "Within God" within you, and "the satan" and what is "within the satan" within you, and the Great Contrast between what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and what "the satan" is doing with what is "within the satan" within you, which is revealing "the satan" to "the satan" for the benefit of all of lives of darkness and evil that you have Now allowed to grow within you, within your "heart or mind or room", all of which in the End, if you are not wise, will become the "suffering of your grave" until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), with you then taking on 105 million rebirths as part of your judgment, if you are not wise, with you ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, and that is for sure
4. Understanding "God's Purpose" In Your Life - which in truth is what is Always "Really Happening" in your life, as Contrasted with "your purpose" in your life, which in truth is what is Never "Really Happening" in your life, all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, because in truth "you are not Ever doing anything", Ever, because in truth "you do not Ever exist", Ever, because in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is "God's Action" in your life, not you, and in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is who is "Really Alive" in your life, not you. And in this way, Your Physical Guru/Shaikh is why you are alive, not because of you, or because of anything that you do, or failed to do, and not because of your parents, or because of your friends or family, or your race and religion, for in truth you are "What He Is Doing", you are what your Physical Guru/Shaikh is doing. And what "He Is Doing" is Telling God Story, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, He is Telling God's Story to whatever level "you will let Him" tell it, because in truth "The Choice" is yours, not God's, that is the Choice of whose Story is told during your lifetime, Either God's Story, Or "the satan's story", because in truth "you have no story". Again, "you do not really exit", that is, the idea of you, the illusion of you living as a separate person living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself "does not really exist", and is only the "trick of the satan", So "his story" can be told" in your lifetime, Rather than God's Story, Rather than you Joining as "One with" your Physical Guru/Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Let God's Story be told, in your "Heart or Mind or Room". And in this way, Only by you Joining as "One with" God's Purpose in your lifetime, before you die to the flesh, by you Joining as "One with" your Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for all life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, will you find True Success in your lifetime. That is, with you allowing God to Complete God's Purpose in your life which in truth is God telling and bringing to Completion God's Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, this time within your "Heart or Mind or Room". Only then will you find True Success in your lifetime, but then Only to the level that "you will let Him", but then Only to the level that you will "sit down", So God can Stand Up, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. And this is the Only Thing that will bring true success to your life, in you lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, and this is the Only Thing that will successfully bring to an End "your false purpose", that is, "your false life", that is, "your false existence". "Your false existence" which in truth is Always all about "you", and what you falsely think you are doing, never about God, and about what in truth God is Always Doing, no matter what, and "Your false existence" which in truth is Always just vanity, is Always just selfishness, is Always about "separation and differences", Never about God, Never about "One with", Never about "God's Truth and Justice", Never about "God's Compassion and Unity". All of which in the End will Only lead you to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, not to God within you, that is, will lead you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to hell within you, to one of the 7 hells within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure. For in truth, "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", which in truth is to have separated yourself from "Yourself", that is, to have separated your "lower self", which is Now your current life as "separate from", from your "Higher Self", which in truth is your Next life as "One with", HERE and NOW, if you like, and that is for sure.
5. Understanding "Eternity" In Your Life - which in truth is Where Everyone and Everything will Next End Up within you, because in truth "All of It" is truly within each of My Children, because that in truth is "Who You Are", you are Where and How God tells and brings to Completion His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which has truly "Come Out of You", and truly "Came Out" of each of My Children, and all of which Must Now Go Back Into You, and Go Back into each of My Children, all of which is Where and How God tells His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". And All of this is Now "A Given" within each of My Children, because God has Now "Made It So" for your age and for all life. The Only Question Left is, "Where and Who will you be" for eternity within you, "Where and Who" will each of My Children be, for eternity within you. That is, will you be God within True Man within the 8th heaven within you, as the Form of God, as the Kingdom of God within you, all of which includes the 8 heavens and the 7 hells within you, all of which are Now within True Man within God within you, Or will you be an inhabitant in one of the 7 heavens within you, as the "Form of God's Angels and Prophets", as the "Essence of the World of souls", Or will you be an inhabitant in one of 7 hells within you, as the "Form of a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost", as the "Essence of the World of hell", for in truth "The Choice is Yours", not God's, because God has Now "Made it so", God has Now "Made it your Choice", not His, for in truth "The Justice of God Is That Whatever You Intend Is What You Receive", and that is for sure. All of which you and each of My Children can Now Pick Up as your True Birth Right, as your True Heritage, as the True Destiny of your soul, if you like, all of which in truth is Now the Form of the Suratul Fatihah within you, is the 5 Letter Form of Alhamd, of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl" within you, in the Islamic Tradition, and all of which is the Messiah within you in the Christian tradition. And all of which is Now How God Next Pulls Everyone and Everything Back Into Himself within you, from which It has all come within you, bringing to Completion His Story within you, So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God, So in the End, "Only God Exists", So in the End, "Only You Exist", So in the End, You can decide to tell Your Story Again, if you like, or not. So Please Start To Get With The Program, with God's Program, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and each of My Children, and Stop Getting with "the satan's program", as you and each of My Children are Now Doing. At least truly Start to be True Man within God within you, and Stop being "false man" within "the satan" within you, while you still can, that is, before you die to the flesh, So God can then Do Everything Else, everything else necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, not for your selfish benefit but Rather for the benefit of Everyone and Everything Else. And in this way, Please Stop all of your current craziness of "separation and differences", all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, in order to keep you turned away from God within you, that is, in order to keep each of My Children, turned away from your True Birth Right, turned way from your True Heritage, turned away from the True Destiny of your soul, all of . Please try while you still can. Amen
6. The Meaning Of "True Surrender" - is Joining in Partnership, as "One with" God, in Everything That God Is Now Doing, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not passively going along with what in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you think God has Now told you to do in your age, all of which in truth is just false, is "Just Not True". 7. How To Make "Correct Decisions" In Your Life - is to Continually Expand Your Consciousness and Life to Include God Also as "Who You Are", that is, to Include God, First on the "outside" of you, as your Physical Guru/Shaikh, and then within you, as God within You as the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as Also "Who You Are", and to include what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, as Also "Who You Are". And what "God Is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do
8. The Value of The "Physical Guru/Shaikh" - is First, to demonstrate to God the "True Disciple", that is, the "True Disciple" that is beyond the ego, that is beyond your own mind and desires, that is, to demonstrate to God true faith and trust in God. And Second, is to "See God and Steady God" within you, by Realizing, Understanding, Accepting, and Joining as "One with" the Physical Guru/Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as the "Presence of God", and as the "Word of God" make flesh for your age and Now for all life. And Third, to become of service, of value to the Physical Guru/Shaikh as the "shadow of the Guru", Letting Him be your Light, Letting Him use you up as this Contrast between "you" and the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as the Contrast between the "shadow" and the "Light', all of which in truth is Now "Who you are", that is, as the School of Contrast" within you, the "First of God's Schools" within you that He uses to liberate your soul and take it to God, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you and fill It With Truth, that is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you that is Now hidden within the "child of darkness" within you, and Let It "Elevate Itself" to God, like a balloon rising "All By Itself" once it is filled with helium. And in this way, Let Him "Awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, So the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the Enemy of your soul, which in truth is you", bringing to an End "you", the ego life, the life of "the satan" within you, the "Enemy of the soul", bringing to an End, before you die, or at least truly Starting to, you living a life of "separation and differences" 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen.
9. The Choice Is Yours, Not God's - that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", for the benefit of your "One Life", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", for the benefit of your "separate life", all of which is "Just Not True"
======================================================================== "Text & Summary" of Spiritual Letter 155
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) teaches His Children:
- go to "Next Topic" 1. <Topic 01>
- In process. Please come back later. Thank you -
======================================================================== "Original Version" of Spiritual Letter 155 - as it was Originally E-mailed to My Children who are on "The Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Mailing List". Click HERE to learn about & add your name to this List (www.SMMailingList.homestead.com), if you like
Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.
Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen.
Bawa. My love you My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.
Bawa. In your Mother's last E-mail to "Us" she said,
Bawa. I am also worried about Aaron's trip to Kentucky too, as he didn't ask you if it is ok to go. Could you ask Bawa if it is ok? If It is not, I will tell him I don't want him to go. Thanks!
Bawa. Also in the same E-mail your Mother expressed her concern to "Us" about your Father Abu Talib, that is, about his health and how important it is for him to come to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship while he still can, and his plan to attend each night of the upcoming Mauloud for Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), starting this Friday, 2/27/09, and also attend the last few days of the Mauloud for Our Dearest Loving Father Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), saying in her last E-mail the following:
We asked Abu Talib if he would like to go to our Primal Home, and his instant reaction was No! No! No! But he has been having trouble with pains in his heart the past 2 mornings, so I am thinking it may be very important that he go while he can. He is planning to attend every night of the Qutb Malud.
Bawa. My dearest loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), you and all of My Children must Start to live your life as God lives His Life and Stop living your life the way that "the satan" lives his life. There is no other real point in your life, everything else in your life is just the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" and is only leading you and all of My Children to an eternal life within you as "separate from" Me within you, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So How Does God Live His Life, and How Does "the satan" live his life, you and each of My Children must Start to truly understand the Contrast between these two ways of living, and Start to act accordingly, in order to make the Correct decisions in your life, like the decision you have made about going to Kentucky this weekend.
Bawa. And the Contrast is very, very simple, God lives for the benefit of everyone else, not for His own benefit, God is "Selfless", always, and "the satan" lives for the benefit of himself, not in truth for the benefit of anyone else, "the satan" is "selfish", always, no matter what he may say or think to the contrary.
Bawa. God Lives by letting Himself be used up for the benefit of everyone else, that is, God gives life Rather than taking life, like a candle letting itself be burned up to bring light to the room, while "the satan" holds onto everything that belongs to himself, including his sense of importance and value to others, and his false belief that he can help and do good things in the world, but at the heart of it all is always the ego, is the sense of selfishness, of the "I", of how it will benefit himself, not others.
Bawa. So all of your decisions are truly simple, if you like, Join in Partnership with God within you to let God use up His Creation within you for His Purpose, and in this way give up Everything that you Now have, which is the "debt of birth", and Everything that God is Now saving as "Trust Property" for you, for God's Purpose and disappear back within Him, but this time with an understanding of who you "Already Are", So you will never loose your birth right again, your true heritage again, the destiny of your soul again, and do this because that is what God does, because that is the nature of God, and in truth you are "Of God", not of the Creation of God, and not because of anything that you want or desire living as the Creation of God as "separate from" God.
Bawa. And in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), if you will only place your faith and trust in God, and only in God, that is, not in you, not in Creation, then God will Complete "His Purpose" as "One with" within you, not "your purpose" as "separate from" on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. And if you do this, or at least Truly Step Out To Do This, in your lifetime, that is, before your die to the flesh, then in the End, God will get God, not "you" will get "you", because in the End, God will have let God "use you up", that is, God will have let God use up His Creation for His Purpose, which is to reveal God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen.
Bawa. And then in the End all that is left is God, is Now You as God within you, as You as Now "One with" Everyone and Everything within you, not "you" on the "outside" of you as "separate from" everyone and everything on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is Now your state and the state of all of My Children, but to your peril, for in truth "you" as "separate from" and God as "One with" cannot become One, cannot relate, because such a state does not exist, one has to go within you, for in truth,
"If you are there then God is not there, and if God is there then you are not there"
Bawa. So in the End, one has to go within you, that is, Either "you" as "separate from" Or God as "One with", and that will be your state for eternity, Either as God, Or as "the satan", that is, Either as God, Or as what God has discarded to become God within you, that is, Either as an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, Or as an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. You cannot have both any more than you can have two Masters.
Bawa. And to do this, to do this Becoming "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh, you must surrender to God, HERE and NOW, that is, by you surrendering to all that God has Now given you, both on the "outside" of you and within you, in order to provide for you and to protect you in the world.
Bawa. All of which when placed by you in God's hand, not in your hand, or in the hand of anyone else, will be Used by God to "use you up" properly, to use up the Creation of God, to literally pull the Creation of God back into God, from which it has all come, So in the End, there is "Nothing Left Other Than God" within you, So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen.
Bawa. And True Surrender to God is not just going along with God, but Rather True Surrender is your "Full Participation" with God in the "One Thing" That God Is Doing, and the "One Thing" that God is Doing, is God, is God Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of God's Creation, within God within you, that is, True Surrender is not just you going along with what God has told you to do, with you still living as if you are "separate from" God within you, with you simply accepting what is said by God for your age and for your life, but not with you Joining as "One with" God to "Make It So".
Bawa. For example, True Surrender Is You Realizing, Understanding, Accepting, and Joining as "One with" what God is Now Telling your age and all life, that is, what God is Now telling your age as Bawa, as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, as Our Dearest Loving Father Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.).
Bawa. And Now for your life, what God is Now telling you directly, as the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, Now for your age and for all life, as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), who in truth is Now "Us" for you and for all of My Children, if you like, in whom "We are well Pleased".
Bawa. As God said earlier to His Children through the Prophets of God, at earlier times, for different times, like by Muhammad (Sal.) over 1400 years ago, by Jesus (A.S.) over 2000 years ago, and by Moses (A.S.) over 3400 years ago.
Bawa. In this way, True Surrender is to "Fully Participate" as "One with" God within you, for what God is telling You Now, that is, is to Join in Partnership as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, True Surrender to God is to use God to live your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to live your life as "One with" in your lifetime, that is, HERE and NOW, Rather than you Continuing to live your life as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" Everyone and Everything, all of which is "Just Not True", but which you and all of My Children are Now Continuing to Do, but to your peril.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to "Make it through your day", that is, True Surrender is to be handing Everything and Everyone in your life to God, moment by moment, that is, handing to God everything that comes before you, including each thought and each scene, making all of it God's responsibility, making all of it the responsibility of the "One with" within you.
Bawa. True Surrender is Not Letting Anything or Anyone Continue to be "your responsibility", that is, Continue to be the responsibility of the "separate from" within you, that is, is not letting Anything or Anyone become your responsibility, is not letting Anything or Anyone be the responsibility of you falsely living as "a person", as "a person" who is "separate from" God, Either on the "outside" of you, with you living as if you are "separate from" your True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for your life, Or within you, with you living as if you are "separate from" God within your True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for your life.
Bawa. And in this way, True Surrender Is Not Letting Anything or Anyone be the responsibility of you Now living as "a person", as "a person" who is living as "separate from" your mother and father and brother, that is, who is living as "separate from" Everyone and Everything else, including as "separate from" all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", and that is for sure.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Is Making all of it the responsibility of the "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, is the "Child of Light" that has Now been awakened within you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not the responsibility of the "separate from" within you, that is, not the responsibility of you Now living as a person "separate from" God, both on the "outside" of you and within you, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything else, that is, not the responsibility of the "child of darkness", both on the "outside" of you and within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa But Rather True Surrender Is Making all of it the responsibility of the Original Part of You, which in truth is Now the "One with" awakening within you, all of which in truth is your Original Life before the "separate from" life within you appeared, the Original Life of the "One with" that you experienced in the "World of souls", in the womb of your mother, and for the first 3 years of your life in the world, in your first birth.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Is Making whatever comes to you, or whatever leaves you, and whatever decisions you must make, Now always something that God within you must make, Now always something that You as "One with" awakening within you must handle, that is, Now always something that you Now as "You" within you, that you Now as "One with" God within you, that you Now awakening to "You" within you, must handle.
Bawa. That is, in order to protect, and look after, and move forward the "One Life" within all life, including within "your life", not something, not a decision that "you" as "separate from" God within you must make, that you as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, must Continue to handle, to handle alone, as "separate from" God within you, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else.
Bawa. And in this way, True Surrender is to Start to use God within you, and all that is "Within God" within you, and what God is Now Doing with what is Now "Within God" within you, as Also "Who You Are", and to Stop treating God within you, and all that is "Within God" within you, and what God is Now Doing with what is Now "Within God" within you, as "separate from" you.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Start to use your Partnership with God within you, Start to use your Joining as "One with" God within you, and as "One with" what is "Within God" within you, and as "One with" what God is Now doing with what is "Within God" within you, as how all things are Now handled in "Your One Life", and to Stop using you acting alone, you having a "separate life", that is, you acting as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your mom and dad and brother and Everyone and Everything else, as how all things are handled in your life, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. For example, as Now How You Reach God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You Reach The "One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You "Do The Right Thing" for the "One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You Make "All Of Your Decisions" For "Your One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, like the decision of what to do this weekend, with you going to Either Kentucky, Or to the Mauloud, Or Perhaps to somewhere else
Bawa. But in truth the decision is Always God's, not ever yours, the only question is what is strengthened within you by the decision, that is, Either "your separation from", Or your "One with", that is, Either your faith and trust in God, Or your faith and trust in "you".
Bawa. For example, Either you could keep it as "your decision", a decision in the place of "separation from" within you, Or you could elevate it to "Our Decision", a decision in the place of "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, Either you could go to Kentucky this weekend for your purpose, Or decide not to go, for some reason in "your life".
Bawa. Or You Could "Step Back" and Let God "Step Forward" in "Our Life", with you Letting God Use Your Life For "Our Purpose", as "One with", as the "One Purpose", not for "your purpose" as "separate from", that is, with No Desire and No Agenda You Could "Make God's Intention Your Search", and then "You Could Intend as God Intends", realizing that if you do, then in truth "Everything will happen as You Intend", and if you don't then, "Nothing will happen as you intend", and that is for sure. What a Glorious Way To Live, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, You Let God Send You To Either, or To Something Else, or to Nothing, Treating Either, or Something Else, or Nothing, the same, as God's Will, as "Our Will", as the "One with" Will, not as "your will" as "separate from, that is, Either To Kentucky Or To the Mauloud this weekend with your mom and dad and mike and with "Us", Or to Something Else, Or to Nothing.
Bawa. And in this way, with You Letting Your Partnership of "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Not your partnership of "separate from", that is, not your partnership with the world as "a person" who is living as if you are "separate from" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, determine How You "Make it through your day".
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Start to use Bawa as what God has given to you for your age and for your life, in order to reach God within you, in order to become "One with" God within you, to order to become "One with" what is "Within God" within you, in order to become "One with" what God is Now doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Means How To Live Properly In The World in your lifetime, So your life is truly successful in your lifetime, that is, is How to "Make it through your day", make it through each day successfully, all of which in truth is to Start to use God as "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then "within you, and to Stop using "yourself" as "separate from", that is, separate from God, separate from your brothers and sisters, and separate from the Creation of God, within God within you, to become truly successful in your lifetime.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Means to Start to Use Bawa, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is to Now to use Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, in order to get to Bawa within you, which in truth is God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. That is, to use your Guru/Shaikh to become the Guru/Shaikh, and to do this, to make this transformation of consciousness and form, from the "form of the satan" to the "form of God", form the consciousness of "separate from" to the consciousness of "One with", not for your benefit but Rather for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And with you Now doing this, this Now Using Bawa on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now Using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, as much as you can, and whenever you can.
Bawa. For example, like you using this beautiful Spiritual Letter to you, and to all of My Children, to better learn How to "Make it through your day", that is, to better learn How to Live Successfully In The World, that is, to better learn How to become Truly Successful in your lifetime. Amen.
Bawa. For example, with you Starting to say the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) before you "Say, or Do, or Write'' anything, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, with you Starting to say the name of your Guru/Shaikh for this age and for your life, before your do anything, surrendering the Responsibility for Everything and Everyone to Him, that is, to God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, both to God as "One with" you, and to God as "One with" Everyone and Everything, not taking on the responsibility for Anyone or Anything, as "separate from" Anyone and Anything.
Bawa. That is, Saying The Name Of Your Guru/Shaikh for this age and for your life before you "Say, or Do, or Write" anything, giving Him/God all responsibility for Everything and Everyone in your life, not to you, and not to them, that is, giving Him/God responsibility for every thought, for everything you see, including for all of "your people", that is, for all of your relationships with people, including all of your family or "blood ties", and for all that is happening in your life, and in the life of everyone else, handing it all over to Bawa/God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not to you, and not to them.
Bawa. All of which in truth is to place your faith and trust in God, and in God Alone, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, for your age, that is, handing Everyone and Everything to God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not to you, not to them, that is, handing it all to your Guru/Shaikh, not to you, not to them, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), the Choice is Yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. Please make the Right Choice, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), not the wrong choice, Please Choose to Expand your life, to Expand your life and your consciousness to include God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to include God as Also "Who You Are", So God can then "Make It So" For You, and for all of Us, So God can then Make it "All That You Are", all that "We All Are", that in truth "Only God Exists".
Bawa. Please Start To Truly Use Your Life Up In This Way, as "One with", and Stop Using Your Life In the Other Way, as "separate from", For If You Truly Step Out In This Direction, God will then do "Everything Else" necessary to Make It So, That Is, Everything Else Necessary For You, for the "One with", To Reach God within you, that is, for the benefit of Everyone and Everything Else, all of which are truly within you, all of which are "Truly You", and Stop trying to use your "own life" as "separate from" for your benefit, thinking that some how you can do the work of God, but as "separate from" God, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. So Please Join as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Please Start to live as "One with" Him, With You Truly Surrendering To Him, With You Truly Sharing "All of Your Life" with Him, With You Truly Treating Him as "Your Own Life" of "One with", a Life of "One with" that is Now awakening within your current life of "separate from", that is Now awakening as your "Child of Light" within your "child of darkness".
Bawa. That is Now awakening as the "Form of God" within your "form of darkness", in order to Let God Become "One with" God within you, in your own lifetime, in order Let God become "One with" what is "Within God" within you, in your own lifetime, in order to Let God become "One with" what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen.
Bawa. Oh God, No matter what My Children do, Please Open Their Inner Heart, Grant Them Your Grace, and Pull Them Back into You, and May God do this for you, for your mother and father, Aziza and Abu Talib, for your brother Mike, for Mike's wife Sarah, for Sarah's Mom and Dad, and for the "boys in the band", Chris, Greg, and Rick, and for Kenny and his wife Sara, and their family, and for Peter, the new brother "We" met with Mike on Sunday, and for all of your friends and family, and for all of God's Children who are Now living in this world, who are Now living in the "womb of their mother", who are still in the "World of souls", and who have yet to come into this "Earth World", and for everyone and everything in the 18,000 Universes, within God and within Man, and within Man and within God. Amen.

About Spiritual Letter 155 Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of Spiritual Letter 155, for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok?
Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and to All of My Children, who in truth is My Dearest Loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh.
Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, you can avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, for in truth,
"Hell Is Simply The Realization That you have "separated yourself" From God within you, Which in truth means that you have Separated "yourself " From "Yourself" within you, From Your Higher Self within you, If You Are Not Wise, If You Don't Again Become One With God within you, Before you die to the flesh, But this time with an Understanding Of Who "You Already Are", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you Again, Because in truth the Choice is yours, not God's"
Bawa. All of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate God to God within you, which in truth is the True Disciple, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And that this child learned to do when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of me and then within me, becoming "One with" the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which all of My Children can still do, if you like, but Now by becoming "One with" the One True Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) As Now "Us" for My Children, as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like.
Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the true result of the "current life and state" of all of My Children, So in the End you don't get some illusory heaven on another "outside" of yourself, as My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. But instead, you become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, but this time with you doing it using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as "Us", as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you as your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and then within you as "Us", as Now Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. And if you do, that is, if you truly learn How To Do this "Hearts Work" correctly, before you die to the flesh, or at least Truly Start to, then your soul life, which is Jesus (peace be upon), your 6th life within you, will "Become Free".
Bawa. For in truth all that is Now Stopping "This Freedom of the soul", is "you", is Now your "current form and state", all of which in truth is Now "you" as "the form and state of the satan", which in truth is Now "you" as the "anti-christ", which is Now "you" as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself as "separate from, that is, as a life of selfishness, of sin, of "separation and differences", that is, with "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. And Only in this way will you truly become successful in your lifetime, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, Only in this way will "You" as "One with" Us, with "You" as "One with" God, will "You" as Jesus (A.S.) get off of Your Cross, by Letting "Us" destroy the "anti-christ", that is, by Letting "Us" destroy "you" as "separate from", and reveal "You" as "One with".
Bawa. Only in this way will You Learn Again How To Live as God's Purity, joined as "One with" God's Consciousness, in search of God's Light, but this time for eternity, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, this "Spiritual Letter 152" on the "True Meaning of the Word Swamiyar" is "A True Love Letter" to Our Dearest Loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. "A True Love Letter" To the "Inner Heart" and From the "Outer Heart" of all of My Children, that is, To your "Inner Heart" within you, which in truth is Now the True Fellowship within all of My Children, which in truth is Now "Us" living within "Your Wisdom", which in truth is Now "Us" living within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. And "A True Love Letter" From your "Outer Heart", for a little while on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now the heart of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased".
Bawa. Therefore, "A True Love Letter" that you can Only Send To "Us", by you Now Learning How To Become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, by you First Learning How To Become "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, because in truth,
"What is Separating you from God, Is what is Separating you from each other, And what is Separating you from each other, Is what is Separating you from God" Amen.
Expanded Title - of Spiritual Letter 155
"Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You To Become "One With" Us Within You, In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You, In Order To Truly Understand "Who You Already Are", And "Where You Already Are", And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life, While You Still Can, Before This Kind of Understanding Is No Longer Available To You, Because You Have Become What God Has Discarded From Himself, In Order To Become God Within You. That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?"
Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who have truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you.
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. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

======================================================================== Outline & "Short Summary" of Spiritual Letter 155 - that is, an "Outline" with a "Short Summary" of the Main Wisdom Points of Spiritual Letter 155
1. Introduction - Greetings of "Oneness", from the "Oneness", that is, from the "Open Heart" to the "Open Heart" as truly the "One Life", not two separate lives 2. Your Mother's Concerns - About her son and about her husband, and about the importance of proper guidance "From God" for both of them, specifically about her son going to Kentucky without first asking Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) permission, about the need for her son to accept the guidance of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in his life, about the general health of her husband, about the recent pains in her husband's chest, and about the importance of her husband and son going to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship whenever and while they still cann 3. The "Great Contrast" In Your Life - is between "True Man" and "false man" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between man living his life as a "Human Being", as God within you, and man living his life as a "beast", as "the satan" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the Great Contrast between Your Physical Guru/Shaikh" and "yourself, that is, the Great Contrast between the life of wisdom and the life of "mind and desire", that is, the Great Contrast between the "Form of God" and the "form of the satan" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the "Child of Light" and the "child of darkness" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the Light of the Physical Guru/Shaikh and the "shadow" of the Physical Guru/Shaikh, that is, the Great Contrast between God and what is "Within God" within you, and "the satan" and what is "within the satan" within you
4. Understanding "God's Purpose" In Your Life - which in truth is what is Always "Really Happening" in your life, as Contrasted with "your purpose" in your life, which in truth is what is Never "Really Happening" in your life, all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, because in truth "you are not Ever doing anything", Ever, because in truth "you do not Ever exist", Ever, because in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is "God's Action" in your life, not you, and in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is who is "Really Alive" in your life, not you. And in this way, Your Physical Guru/Shaikh is why you are alive, not because of you, or because of anything that you do, or failed to do, and not because of your parents, or because of your friends or family, or your race and religion, for in truth you are "What He Is Doing", you are what your Physical Guru/Shaikh is doing. And what "He Is Doing" is Telling God Story, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, He is Telling God's Story to whatever level "you will let Him" tell it, because in truth "The Choice" is yours, not God's, that is the Choice of whose Story is told during your lifetime, Either God's Story, Or "the satan's story", because in truth "you have no story".
5. Understanding "Eternity" In Your Life - which in truth is Where Everyone and Everything will Next End Up within you, because in truth "All of It" is truly within each of My Children, because that in truth is "Who You Are", you are Where and How God tells and brings to Completion His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which has truly "Come Out of You", and truly "Came Out" of each of My Children, and all of which Must Now Go Back Into You, and Go Back into each of My Children, all of which is Where and How God tells His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". And All of this is Now "A Given" within each of My Children, because God has Now "Made It So" for your age and for all life. The Only Question Left is, "Where and Who will you be" for eternity within you, "Where and Who" will each of My Children be, for eternity within you. That is, will you be God within True Man within the 8th heaven within you, as the Form of God, as the Kingdom of God within you, all of which includes the 8 heavens and the 7 hells within you, all of which are Now within True Man within God within you, Or will you be an inhabitant in one of the 7 heavens within you, as the "Form of God's Angels and Prophets", as the "Essence of the World of souls", Or will you be an inhabitant in one of 7 hells within you, as the "Form of a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost", as the "Essence of the World of hell", for in truth "The Choice is Yours", not God's, because God has Now "Made it so", God has Now "Made it your Choice", not His, for in truth "The Justice of God Is That Whatever You Intend Is What You Receive", and that is for sure.
6. The Meaning Of "True Surrender" - is Joining in Partnership, as "One with" God, in Everything That God Is Now Doing, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not passively going along with what in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you think God has Now told you to do in your age, all of which in truth is just false, is "Just Not True". 7. How To Make "Correct Decisions" In Your Life - is to Continually Expand Your Consciousness and Life to Include God Also as "Who You Are", that is, to Include God, First on the "outside" of you, as your Physical Guru/Shaikh, and then within you, as God within You as the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as Also "Who You Are", and to include what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, as Also "Who You Are". And what "God Is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do
8. The Value of The "Physical Guru/Shaikh" - is First, to demonstrate to God the "True Disciple", that is, the "True Disciple" that is beyond the ego, that is beyond your own mind and desires, that is, to demonstrate to God true faith and trust in God. And Second, to "See God and Steady God" within you, by Realizing, Understanding, Accepting, and Joining as "One with" the Physical Guru/Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as the "Presence of God", and as the "Word of God" make flesh for your age and Now for all life. And Third, to be of service, of value to the Physical Guru/Shaikh as the "shadow of the Guru", Letting Him be your Light, Letting Him use you up as this Contrast between "you" and the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as the Contrast between the "shadow" and the "Light', all of which in truth is Now "Who you are", that is, as the School of Contrast" within you, the "First of God's Schools" within you, that He uses to liberate your soul and take it to God, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you and fill It With Truth, that is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you that is Now hidden within the "child of darkness" within you, and Let It "Elevate Itself" to God, like a balloon rising "All By Itself" once it is filled with helium. And in this way, Let Him "Awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, So the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the Enemy of your soul, which in truth is you", bringing to an End "you", the ego life, the life of "the satan" within you, the "Enemy of the soul", bringing to an End "you", before you die to the flesh, or at least truly Starting to, bringing to an End "you" living a life of "separation and differences" 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen.
9. The Choice Is Yours, Not God's - that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", for the benefit of your "One Life", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", for the benefit of your "separate life", all of which is "Just Not True"
======================================================================== Outline & "Longer Summary" - of Spiritual Letter 155, that is, an "Outline" with a "Longer Summary" of the Main Wisdom Points of Spiritual Letter 155
1. Introduction - Greetings of "Oneness", from the "Oneness", that is, from the "Open Heart" to the "Open Heart" as truly the "One Life", not two separate lives 1. Introduction - Greetings of "Oneness", from the "Oneness", that is, from the "Open Heart" to the "Open Heart" as truly the "One Life", not two separate lives 2. A Mother's Concerns - About her son and about her husband, and about the importance of proper guidance "From God" for both of them, specifically about her son going to Kentucky without first asking Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) permission, about the need for her son to accept the guidance of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in his life, about the general health of her husband, about the recent pains in her husband's chest, and about the importance of her husband and son going to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship whenever and while they still can
3. The "Great Contrast" In Your Life - is between "True Man" and "false man" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between man living his life as a "Human Being", as God within you, and man living his life as a "beast", as "the satan" on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, the Great Contrast between Your Physical Guru/Shaikh" and "yourself, that is, the Great Contrast between the life of wisdom and the life of "mind and desire", that is, the Great Contrast between the "Form of God" and the "form of the satan" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the "Child of Light" and the "child of darkness" within you, that is, the Great Contrast between the Light of the Physical Guru/Shaikh and the "shadow" of the Physical Guru/Shaikh, that is, the Great Contrast between God and what is "Within God" within you, and "the satan" and what is "within the satan" within you, and the Great Contrast between what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and what "the satan" is doing with what is "within the satan" within you, which is revealing "the satan" to "the satan" for the benefit of all of lives of darkness and evil that you have Now allowed to grow within you, within your "heart or mind or room", all of which in the End, if you are not wise, will become the "suffering of your grave" until Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), with you then taking on 105 million rebirths as part of your judgment, if you are not wise, with you ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, and that is for sure
4. Understanding "God's Purpose" In Your Life - which in truth is what is Always "Really Happening" in your life, as Contrasted with "your purpose" in your life, which in truth is what is Never "Really Happening" in your life, all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, because in truth "you are not Ever doing anything", Ever, because in truth "you do not Ever exist", Ever, because in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is "God's Action" in your life, not you, and in truth at all times and in all things your Physical Guru/Shaikh is who is "Really Alive" in your life, not you. And in this way, Your Physical Guru/Shaikh is why you are alive, not because of you, or because of anything that you do, or failed to do, and not because of your parents, or because of your friends or family, or your race and religion, for in truth you are "What He Is Doing", you are what your Physical Guru/Shaikh is doing. And what "He Is Doing" is Telling God Story, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, He is Telling God's Story to whatever level "you will let Him" tell it, because in truth "The Choice" is yours, not God's, that is the Choice of whose Story is told during your lifetime, Either God's Story, Or "the satan's story", because in truth "you have no story". Again, "you do not really exit", that is, the idea of you, the illusion of you living as a separate person living a life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself "does not really exist", and is only the "trick of the satan", So "his story" can be told" in your lifetime, Rather than God's Story, Rather than you Joining as "One with" your Physical Guru/Shaikh, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to Let God's Story be told, in your "Heart or Mind or Room". And in this way, Only by you Joining as "One with" God's Purpose in your lifetime, before you die to the flesh, by you Joining as "One with" your Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for all life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, will you find True Success in your lifetime. That is, with you allowing God to Complete God's Purpose in your life which in truth is God telling and bringing to Completion God's Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, this time within your "Heart or Mind or Room". Only then will you find True Success in your lifetime, but then Only to the level that "you will let Him", but then Only to the level that you will "sit down", So God can Stand Up, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. And this is the Only Thing that will bring true success to your life, in you lifetime, that is, before you die to the flesh, and this is the Only Thing that will successfully bring to an End "your false purpose", that is, "your false life", that is, "your false existence". "Your false existence" which in truth is Always all about "you", and what you falsely think you are doing, never about God, and about what in truth God is Always Doing, no matter what, and "Your false existence" which in truth is Always just vanity, is Always just selfishness, is Always about "separation and differences", Never about God, Never about "One with", Never about "God's Truth and Justice", Never about "God's Compassion and Unity". All of which in the End will Only lead you to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, not to God within you, that is, will lead you to an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to hell within you, to one of the 7 hells within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure. For in truth, "Hell is simply the realization that you have separated yourself from God", which in truth is to have separated yourself from "Yourself", that is, to have separated your "lower self", which is Now your current life as "separate from", from your "Higher Self", which in truth is your Next life as "One with", HERE and NOW, if you like, and that is for sure.
5. Understanding "Eternity" In Your Life - which in truth is Where Everyone and Everything will Next End Up within you, because in truth "All of It" is truly within each of My Children, because that in truth is "Who You Are", you are Where and How God tells and brings to Completion His Story, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which has truly "Come Out of You", and truly "Came Out" of each of My Children, and all of which Must Now Go Back Into You, and Go Back into each of My Children, all of which is Where and How God tells His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man". And All of this is Now "A Given" within each of My Children, because God has Now "Made It So" for your age and for all life. The Only Question Left is, "Where and Who will you be" for eternity within you, "Where and Who" will each of My Children be, for eternity within you. That is, will you be God within True Man within the 8th heaven within you, as the Form of God, as the Kingdom of God within you, all of which includes the 8 heavens and the 7 hells within you, all of which are Now within True Man within God within you, Or will you be an inhabitant in one of the 7 heavens within you, as the "Form of God's Angels and Prophets", as the "Essence of the World of souls", Or will you be an inhabitant in one of 7 hells within you, as the "Form of a demon, jinn, fairy, or ghost", as the "Essence of the World of hell", for in truth "The Choice is Yours", not God's, because God has Now "Made it so", God has Now "Made it your Choice", not His, for in truth "The Justice of God Is That Whatever You Intend Is What You Receive", and that is for sure. All of which you and each of My Children can Now Pick Up as your True Birth Right, as your True Heritage, as the True Destiny of your soul, if you like, all of which in truth is Now the Form of the Suratul Fatihah within you, is the 5 Letter Form of Alhamd, of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl" within you, in the Islamic Tradition, and all of which is the Messiah within you in the Christian tradition. And all of which is Now How God Next Pulls Everyone and Everything Back Into Himself within you, from which It has all come within you, bringing to Completion His Story within you, So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God, So in the End, "Only God Exists", So in the End, "Only You Exist", So in the End, You can decide to tell Your Story Again, if you like, or not. So Please Start To Get With The Program, with God's Program, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and each of My Children, and Stop Getting with "the satan's program", as you and each of My Children are Now Doing. At least truly Start to be True Man within God within you, and Stop being "false man" within "the satan" within you, while you still can, that is, before you die to the flesh, So God can then Do Everything Else, everything else necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, not for your selfish benefit but Rather for the benefit of Everyone and Everything Else. And in this way, Please Stop all of your current craziness of "separation and differences", all of which in truth is just the "trick of the satan" within you, in order to keep you turned away from God within you, that is, in order to keep each of My Children, turned away from your True Birth Right, turned way from your True Heritage, turned away from the True Destiny of your soul, all of . Please try while you still can. Amen
6. The Meaning Of "True Surrender" - is Joining in Partnership, as "One with" God, in Everything That God Is Now Doing, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not passively going along with what in your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance you think God has Now told you to do in your age, all of which in truth is just false, is "Just Not True". 7.

And Third, to become of service, of value to the Physical Guru/Shaikh as the "shadow of the Guru", Letting Him be your Light, Letting Him use you up as this Contrast between "you" and the Physical Guru/Shaikh, as the Contrast between the "shadow" and the "Light', all of which in truth is Now "Who you are", that is, as the School of Contrast" within you, the "First of God's Schools" within you that He uses to liberate your soul and take it to God, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. That is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you and fill It With Truth, that is, to awaken the "Child of Light" within you that is Now hidden within the "child of darkness" within you, and Let It "Elevate Itself" to God, like a balloon rising "All By Itself" once it is filled with helium. And in this way, Let Him "Awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, So the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the Enemy of your soul, which in truth is you", bringing to an End "you", the ego life, the life of "the satan" within you, the "Enemy of the soul", bringing to an End, before you die, or at least truly Starting to, you living a life of "separation and differences" 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 God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Amen.
9. The Choice Is Yours, Not God's - that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", for the benefit of your "One Life", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", for the benefit of your "separate life", all of which is "Just Not True"
======================================================================== "Text & Summary" of Spiritual Letter 155
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) teaches His Children:
- go to "Next Topic" 1. <Topic 01>
- In process. Please come back later. Thank you -
======================================================================== "Original Version" of Spiritual Letter 155 - as it was Originally E-mailed to My Children who are on "The Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Mailing List". Click HERE to learn about & add your name to this List (www.SMMailingList.homestead.com), if you like
Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate.
Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen.
Bawa. My love you My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.
Bawa. In your Mother's last E-mail to "Us" she said,
Bawa. I am also worried about Aaron's trip to Kentucky too, as he didn't ask you if it is ok to go. Could you ask Bawa if it is ok? If It is not, I will tell him I don't want him to go. Thanks!
Bawa. Also in the same E-mail your Mother expressed her concern to "Us" about your Father Abu Talib, that is, about his health and how important it is for him to come to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship while he still can, and his plan to attend each night of the upcoming Mauloud for Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), starting this Friday, 2/27/09, and also attend the last few days of the Mauloud for Our Dearest Loving Father Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), saying in her last E-mail the following:
We asked Abu Talib if he would like to go to our Primal Home, and his instant reaction was No! No! No! But he has been having trouble with pains in his heart the past 2 mornings, so I am thinking it may be very important that he go while he can. He is planning to attend every night of the Qutb Malud.
Bawa. My dearest loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), you and all of My Children must Start to live your life as God lives His Life and Stop living your life the way that "the satan" lives his life. There is no other real point in your life, everything else in your life is just the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" and is only leading you and all of My Children to an eternal life within you as "separate from" Me within you, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So How Does God Live His Life, and How Does "the satan" live his life, you and each of My Children must Start to truly understand the Contrast between these two ways of living, and Start to act accordingly, in order to make the Correct decisions in your life, like the decision you have made about going to Kentucky this weekend.
Bawa. And the Contrast is very, very simple, God lives for the benefit of everyone else, not for His own benefit, God is "Selfless", always, and "the satan" lives for the benefit of himself, not in truth for the benefit of anyone else, "the satan" is "selfish", always, no matter what he may say or think to the contrary.
Bawa. God Lives by letting Himself be used up for the benefit of everyone else, that is, God gives life Rather than taking life, like a candle letting itself be burned up to bring light to the room, while "the satan" holds onto everything that belongs to himself, including his sense of importance and value to others, and his false belief that he can help and do good things in the world, but at the heart of it all is always the ego, is the sense of selfishness, of the "I", of how it will benefit himself, not others.
Bawa. So all of your decisions are truly simple, if you like, Join in Partnership with God within you to let God use up His Creation within you for His Purpose, and in this way give up Everything that you Now have, which is the "debt of birth", and Everything that God is Now saving as "Trust Property" for you, for God's Purpose and disappear back within Him, but this time with an understanding of who you "Already Are", So you will never loose your birth right again, your true heritage again, the destiny of your soul again, and do this because that is what God does, because that is the nature of God, and in truth you are "Of God", not of the Creation of God, and not because of anything that you want or desire living as the Creation of God as "separate from" God.
Bawa. And in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), if you will only place your faith and trust in God, and only in God, that is, not in you, not in Creation, then God will Complete "His Purpose" as "One with" within you, not "your purpose" as "separate from" on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. And if you do this, or at least Truly Step Out To Do This, in your lifetime, that is, before your die to the flesh, then in the End, God will get God, not "you" will get "you", because in the End, God will have let God "use you up", that is, God will have let God use up His Creation for His Purpose, which is to reveal God to God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen.
Bawa. And then in the End all that is left is God, is Now You as God within you, as You as Now "One with" Everyone and Everything within you, not "you" on the "outside" of you as "separate from" everyone and everything on the "outside" of you, all of which in truth is Now your state and the state of all of My Children, but to your peril, for in truth "you" as "separate from" and God as "One with" cannot become One, cannot relate, because such a state does not exist, one has to go within you, for in truth,
"If you are there then God is not there, and if God is there then you are not there"
Bawa. So in the End, one has to go within you, that is, Either "you" as "separate from" Or God as "One with", and that will be your state for eternity, Either as God, Or as "the satan", that is, Either as God, Or as what God has discarded to become God within you, that is, Either as an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, Or as an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you. You cannot have both any more than you can have two Masters.
Bawa. And to do this, to do this Becoming "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh, you must surrender to God, HERE and NOW, that is, by you surrendering to all that God has Now given you, both on the "outside" of you and within you, in order to provide for you and to protect you in the world.
Bawa. All of which when placed by you in God's hand, not in your hand, or in the hand of anyone else, will be Used by God to "use you up" properly, to use up the Creation of God, to literally pull the Creation of God back into God, from which it has all come, So in the End, there is "Nothing Left Other Than God" within you, So in the End, there is "No Child Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen.
Bawa. And True Surrender to God is not just going along with God, but Rather True Surrender is your "Full Participation" with God in the "One Thing" That God Is Doing, and the "One Thing" that God is Doing, is God, is God Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of God's Creation, within God within you, that is, True Surrender is not just you going along with what God has told you to do, with you still living as if you are "separate from" God within you, with you simply accepting what is said by God for your age and for your life, but not with you Joining as "One with" God to "Make It So".
Bawa. For example, True Surrender Is You Realizing, Understanding, Accepting, and Joining as "One with" what God is Now Telling your age and all life, that is, what God is Now telling your age as Bawa, as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, as Our Dearest Loving Father Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.).
Bawa. And Now for your life, what God is Now telling you directly, as the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, Now for your age and for all life, as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), who in truth is Now "Us" for you and for all of My Children, if you like, in whom "We are well Pleased".
Bawa. As God said earlier to His Children through the Prophets of God, at earlier times, for different times, like by Muhammad (Sal.) over 1400 years ago, by Jesus (A.S.) over 2000 years ago, and by Moses (A.S.) over 3400 years ago.
Bawa. In this way, True Surrender is to "Fully Participate" as "One with" God within you, for what God is telling You Now, that is, is to Join in Partnership as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, True Surrender to God is to use God to live your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to live your life as "One with" in your lifetime, that is, HERE and NOW, Rather than you Continuing to live your life as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" Everyone and Everything, all of which is "Just Not True", but which you and all of My Children are Now Continuing to Do, but to your peril.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to "Make it through your day", that is, True Surrender is to be handing Everything and Everyone in your life to God, moment by moment, that is, handing to God everything that comes before you, including each thought and each scene, making all of it God's responsibility, making all of it the responsibility of the "One with" within you.
Bawa. True Surrender is Not Letting Anything or Anyone Continue to be "your responsibility", that is, Continue to be the responsibility of the "separate from" within you, that is, is not letting Anything or Anyone become your responsibility, is not letting Anything or Anyone be the responsibility of you falsely living as "a person", as "a person" who is "separate from" God, Either on the "outside" of you, with you living as if you are "separate from" your True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for your life, Or within you, with you living as if you are "separate from" God within your True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and for your life.
Bawa. And in this way, True Surrender Is Not Letting Anything or Anyone be the responsibility of you Now living as "a person", as "a person" who is living as "separate from" your mother and father and brother, that is, who is living as "separate from" Everyone and Everything else, including as "separate from" all of the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True", and that is for sure.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Is Making all of it the responsibility of the "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, is the "Child of Light" that has Now been awakened within you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not the responsibility of the "separate from" within you, that is, not the responsibility of you Now living as a person "separate from" God, both on the "outside" of you and within you, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything else, that is, not the responsibility of the "child of darkness", both on the "outside" of you and within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa But Rather True Surrender Is Making all of it the responsibility of the Original Part of You, which in truth is Now the "One with" awakening within you, all of which in truth is your Original Life before the "separate from" life within you appeared, the Original Life of the "One with" that you experienced in the "World of souls", in the womb of your mother, and for the first 3 years of your life in the world, in your first birth.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Is Making whatever comes to you, or whatever leaves you, and whatever decisions you must make, Now always something that God within you must make, Now always something that You as "One with" awakening within you must handle, that is, Now always something that you Now as "You" within you, that you Now as "One with" God within you, that you Now awakening to "You" within you, must handle.
Bawa. That is, in order to protect, and look after, and move forward the "One Life" within all life, including within "your life", not something, not a decision that "you" as "separate from" God within you must make, that you as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, must Continue to handle, to handle alone, as "separate from" God within you, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else.
Bawa. And in this way, True Surrender is to Start to use God within you, and all that is "Within God" within you, and what God is Now Doing with what is Now "Within God" within you, as Also "Who You Are", and to Stop treating God within you, and all that is "Within God" within you, and what God is Now Doing with what is Now "Within God" within you, as "separate from" you.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Start to use your Partnership with God within you, Start to use your Joining as "One with" God within you, and as "One with" what is "Within God" within you, and as "One with" what God is Now doing with what is "Within God" within you, as how all things are Now handled in "Your One Life", and to Stop using you acting alone, you having a "separate life", that is, you acting as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your mom and dad and brother and Everyone and Everything else, as how all things are handled in your life, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. For example, as Now How You Reach God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You Reach The "One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You "Do The Right Thing" for the "One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as Now How You Make "All Of Your Decisions" For "Your One Life", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, like the decision of what to do this weekend, with you going to Either Kentucky, Or to the Mauloud, Or Perhaps to somewhere else
Bawa. But in truth the decision is Always God's, not ever yours, the only question is what is strengthened within you by the decision, that is, Either "your separation from", Or your "One with", that is, Either your faith and trust in God, Or your faith and trust in "you".
Bawa. For example, Either you could keep it as "your decision", a decision in the place of "separation from" within you, Or you could elevate it to "Our Decision", a decision in the place of "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, Either you could go to Kentucky this weekend for your purpose, Or decide not to go, for some reason in "your life".
Bawa. Or You Could "Step Back" and Let God "Step Forward" in "Our Life", with you Letting God Use Your Life For "Our Purpose", as "One with", as the "One Purpose", not for "your purpose" as "separate from", that is, with No Desire and No Agenda You Could "Make God's Intention Your Search", and then "You Could Intend as God Intends", realizing that if you do, then in truth "Everything will happen as You Intend", and if you don't then, "Nothing will happen as you intend", and that is for sure. What a Glorious Way To Live, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you. Amen.
Bawa. And in this way, You Let God Send You To Either, or To Something Else, or to Nothing, Treating Either, or Something Else, or Nothing, the same, as God's Will, as "Our Will", as the "One with" Will, not as "your will" as "separate from, that is, Either To Kentucky Or To the Mauloud this weekend with your mom and dad and mike and with "Us", Or to Something Else, Or to Nothing.
Bawa. And in this way, with You Letting Your Partnership of "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Not your partnership of "separate from", that is, not your partnership with the world as "a person" who is living as if you are "separate from" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, determine How You "Make it through your day".
Bawa. That is, True Surrender is to Start to use Bawa as what God has given to you for your age and for your life, in order to reach God within you, in order to become "One with" God within you, to order to become "One with" what is "Within God" within you, in order to become "One with" what God is Now doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Means How To Live Properly In The World in your lifetime, So your life is truly successful in your lifetime, that is, is How to "Make it through your day", make it through each day successfully, all of which in truth is to Start to use God as "One with", First on the "outside" of you and then "within you, and to Stop using "yourself" as "separate from", that is, separate from God, separate from your brothers and sisters, and separate from the Creation of God, within God within you, to become truly successful in your lifetime.
Bawa. That is, True Surrender Means to Start to Use Bawa, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is to Now to use Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, in order to get to Bawa within you, which in truth is God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you.
Bawa. That is, to use your Guru/Shaikh to become the Guru/Shaikh, and to do this, to make this transformation of consciousness and form, from the "form of the satan" to the "form of God", form the consciousness of "separate from" to the consciousness of "One with", not for your benefit but Rather for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And with you Now doing this, this Now Using Bawa on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now Using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, as much as you can, and whenever you can.
Bawa. For example, like you using this beautiful Spiritual Letter to you, and to all of My Children, to better learn How to "Make it through your day", that is, to better learn How to Live Successfully In The World, that is, to better learn How to become Truly Successful in your lifetime. Amen.
Bawa. For example, with you Starting to say the word "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) before you "Say, or Do, or Write'' anything, as this child has Now learned to do, that is, with you Starting to say the name of your Guru/Shaikh for this age and for your life, before your do anything, surrendering the Responsibility for Everything and Everyone to Him, that is, to God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, both to God as "One with" you, and to God as "One with" Everyone and Everything, not taking on the responsibility for Anyone or Anything, as "separate from" Anyone and Anything.
Bawa. That is, Saying The Name Of Your Guru/Shaikh for this age and for your life before you "Say, or Do, or Write" anything, giving Him/God all responsibility for Everything and Everyone in your life, not to you, and not to them, that is, giving Him/God responsibility for every thought, for everything you see, including for all of "your people", that is, for all of your relationships with people, including all of your family or "blood ties", and for all that is happening in your life, and in the life of everyone else, handing it all over to Bawa/God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not to you, and not to them.
Bawa. All of which in truth is to place your faith and trust in God, and in God Alone, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, for your age, that is, handing Everyone and Everything to God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, not to you, not to them, that is, handing it all to your Guru/Shaikh, not to you, not to them, as this child has Now learned to do.
Bawa. And in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), the Choice is Yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of How You Will Use Your Life Up, in your lifetime, Either in service of God, and of what God is doing within you, for the benefit of all Other Lives, for the benefit of your "One with", Or in service of "the satan" and what "the satan" has tricked you into believing that "you are doing" in your life on the illusory "outside" of you, for the benefit of your "separate from", all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. Please make the Right Choice, My Dearest Loving Son Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), not the wrong choice, Please Choose to Expand your life, to Expand your life and your consciousness to include God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to include God as Also "Who You Are", So God can then "Make It So" For You, and for all of Us, So God can then Make it "All That You Are", all that "We All Are", that in truth "Only God Exists".
Bawa. Please Start To Truly Use Your Life Up In This Way, as "One with", and Stop Using Your Life In the Other Way, as "separate from", For If You Truly Step Out In This Direction, God will then do "Everything Else" necessary to Make It So, That Is, Everything Else Necessary For You, for the "One with", To Reach God within you, that is, for the benefit of Everyone and Everything Else, all of which are truly within you, all of which are "Truly You", and Stop trying to use your "own life" as "separate from" for your benefit, thinking that some how you can do the work of God, but as "separate from" God, all of which is "Just Not True".
Bawa. So Please Join as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Please Start to live as "One with" Him, With You Truly Surrendering To Him, With You Truly Sharing "All of Your Life" with Him, With You Truly Treating Him as "Your Own Life" of "One with", a Life of "One with" that is Now awakening within your current life of "separate from", that is Now awakening as your "Child of Light" within your "child of darkness".
Bawa. That is Now awakening as the "Form of God" within your "form of darkness", in order to Let God Become "One with" God within you, in your own lifetime, in order Let God become "One with" what is "Within God" within you, in your own lifetime, in order to Let God become "One with" what God is doing with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen.
Bawa. Oh God, No matter what My Children do, Please Open Their Inner Heart, Grant Them Your Grace, and Pull Them Back into You, and May God do this for you, for your mother and father, Aziza and Abu Talib, for your brother Mike, for Mike's wife Sarah, for Sarah's Mom and Dad, and for the "boys in the band", Chris, Greg, and Rick, and for Kenny and his wife Sara, and their family, and for Peter, the new brother "We" met with Mike on Sunday, and for all of your friends and family, and for all of God's Children who are Now living in this world, who are Now living in the "womb of their mother", who are still in the "World of souls", and who have yet to come into this "Earth World", and for everyone and everything in the 18,000 Universes, within God and within Man, and within Man and within God.
