The Perfectly Pure Mirror of The Heart This is how Bawa "Acts like He believes in the world" for us, if we will but properly ask Him to take on that task for us. This becomes one of the two major tasks that we must give to Bawa to do for us, of the four tasks that Bawa told us to do, when we truly realize that only the "One" within us, only God within us, only our wisdom and the truth of God within our wisdom, only Bawa within us, and God within Him, only this "One" within us, who truly believes in God, and does not believe in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, can do these two tasts for us, not "us" who in truth believe in the world "outside" of us, and do not in truth believe in God within us. Only They within us, only Bawa within us, and God within Him, can do two of the four following tasks which Bawa told us to do on pages 56 and 59, in Chapter 4, "The World Within and Without", in the beautuful book of wisdom by His Holiness, "The Wisdom of Man", as follows: 1. Pretend to believe in the world. 2. But do not believe in it (in the world). 3. Believe in God. 4. Do not pretent to believe in Him (in God). Only They within us, that is, only Bawa within us, and God within Him, can truly do items 1 and 3, because in truth They do "Do not believe in the world", so therefore, They can "Pretend to believe in the world" for us, and in truth They "Believe in God", so therefore, They can "Believe in God" for us . And we can truly do items 2 and 4, because in truth we "Believe in the world", so therefore, we can "Try not to believe in the world", and in truth we "Do not believe in God", so therefore, we can "Try to stop pretending to believe in God". And in this way, when we join in partnership with Them within us, with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, then "we" as "One with" Them within us can accomplish all four of these items successfully, which without becoming first "One with" Them within us, we can never truly accomplish, allowing our life within God to move forward. Amen. Then with "us" within Them within us, and with Them within "us", as the "Three of Us" within the "Three of God" within us, as "God, the Shaikh, and the Disciple" within the Triple Flame of God within alif, lam, mim within us, within Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen within alif, lam, mim within us, then God's intention within us can be fulfilled, what God has started a very long time ago within us, can be completed, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. Amen. Please click on the following to read this beautiful Chapter in its entirety: The Wisdom of Man: Chapter 04 (www.WisdomOfManChap04.homestead.com). 2. The True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship What is the true Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, that is, what it is, and how to establish it, maintain it, and benefit from it. All of this is beautiful explained to us by Bawa in the beautiful discourse that He gave us on April 26, 1972, which was the second of two discourses given that day, and was given the title, "How to Reach & Merge With God". This discourse is reproduced in its entirey in Spiritual Chat 154, and it is also included in the On-line "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library" as Spiritual Discourse 02, which you can access directly by clicking on the following: Spiritual Discourse 02: (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com). The first discourse given that same day was given the title, "How To Merge With The Guru", and the companion song also given to us by Bawa that same day was given the title, "The Kalimah Song", with all three of these gifts from God being given to us, to all of us living in this age, on the day that Bawa said at the time was the "One good day in 100 years", as the gift of God for our age for the Children of God for our age, which is all of us living in this age, if we but truly want it. Amen And all three of these gifts from God are available on-line within the On-line "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library. To access the first discourse given to us by Bawa on that day, ""How To Merge With The Guru", please click on the following:Spiritual Discourse 01: (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com). And to access the the beautiful mystical song of the highest wisdom given to us by Bawa on that day, "The Kalimah Song", please click on the following: Spiritual Song 01 (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com). 3. A Corpse Does Not Have Its Own Agenda A corpse does not have an agenda because as a corpse "we" have finally put down all of the "veils of hypocrisy" and all of the "schemes of the mind" that have defined "us" when "we" lived on the "outside" of us, before we died, that have separated "us" from God within us, separated "us" from each other on the "outside" of us, and separated "us" from the Creation of God within us, during our life time on this earth world, in the world that we saw in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. For if we have not built a "house of light" for the soul within us, before we die, which is the True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship within us, allowing "us" to become "One with" the palace of the soul within us, "One with" the house of wisdom within us, "One with" the house of Qutb Muhaiyadden Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, so we can leave the grave after we die and go off to the "Next School" within us, since what we are currently experiencing is just one of many schools that God has placed within us, that we must go to in order to learn and understand who "we already are" before returning to God, from whom we have come, in this way, visiting all of the "Schools of God" within us, that God has created and sent us to within us, with this first school being God's "School of Contrasts", where we were learn about what "separates us" from God, and with the next school being where we learn about God. If we haven't built this "House of Light" within us, before we die, so we can leave the grave when we die, and go off to the next "School of God" within us, and if we haven't done this wisdom work within us before we die, and in the process of doing this, have seen and brought under control the 5 ruhanis within us, the 5 elemental spirits within us, before we die, allowing them to becoming Manayal (the one who looks after the home) within us, then our life will not be victorious when we die, then our "wisdom will not reason over our fate" before we die, then "the qualities of our higher selves will not be victorious over qualities of our lower selves" before we die. Bawa teaches us about this in a very beautiful way at the bottom of page 12, in Chapter 01, "Signs of Spiritual Significance", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (Guru Mani), where He describes Manaiyal within us as the, "Best among the four types of women." Where Bawa describes Manaiyal within us in the following way, on page 12 and 13 in Chapter 01, as the proper transformation of the 5 ruhanis or elemental spirits within us, or from another perspective, of the 4 destructive women within us, that is the transformation through wisdom of the 5 (or 4) back into the 1, from the life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" to the life of wisdom within us, from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us back into Adam (peace be upon Him) having recovered from His fall within us. In this way, Manaiyal represents the proper transformation of the 5 ruhanis, or the 4 destructive women, back into the 1, back into the original purified earth of Adam (peace be upon Him), but this time with the "eye of wisdom" on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) permanently open, this time with the Nur Muhammad having returned to the Nur Muhammad as the understandng of the Nur Muhammad, this time with Adam (peace be upon Him) having recovered from His fall. In this way, through wisdom having dawned within us, preventing the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) again, preventing the 1 again becoming the 5 (or 4), this time, through the understanding of wisdom, and of the light of wisdom, through the understanding of the Qutb and of the Nur Muhammad within us, as the "Shepherd and the Tree", preventing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, having recovered from His fall. With Adam (peace be upon Him) having been "Created again by God within us, by our Father within us, by Bawa Adam within us, without a mother or a father", with Adam (peace be upon Him) now able to complete the journey He was one, before His fall, now sitting in the 1st heaven with the crown of Eve on His head, the crown of the 124,000 Prophets of God, never again to experience within us the "spit of satan", which is the "sperm of man" and the "ovum of Eve", which is the Nuqat, or the mim in the shape of the sperm, which Bawa describes as the "dot under the letter Ba", as in in the word Bawa. ----- beginning of Quotation from "A Pearl of Wisdom" by His Holiness ----- Disciple: O Guru Swami, what is the world? Explain it to me. Guru: O my eyes, the world is folly. It is a woman called Desire. That is the earth world. Everything appearing on earth is maya (illusion). Woman are the four religions. Religious scriptures are the attachments of all creations. Gold is a creator of mischief. There are seventy three groups mixed with all human lives, entering the nerve, the skin, and the flesh, as four kinds of destructive woman. Disciple: Swami, Master Guru, teach me in detail the four kinds of woman. There is a great desire ceaselessly springing forth in me to marry one of these woman. Guru: O dear son, what is referred to as the four religions are divided into several races and religions. Race denotes an evil character. Religion is arrogance. These two have divided themselves into four faiths. They appear as four woman. The first is Manaiyal (the one who looks after the home). The second is Manaiyaddi (the one who shakes up the home). The third is Thadiyaddi (the one who causes the stick to be brandished). The fourth is Thandaaddi (the one who causes the club to be brandished). Disciple: O Guru Swami, which is these is good? Guru: Listen. I shall tell you. You ask me which is good and which is evil. Earth, Fire, Air, and Water intermingled to form the shape of a ball. The earth is the first sign, Manaiyal (the one who looks after the home). She has the characteristics of the earth. She is the best among these four types of woman. Disciple: What are her actions? Guru: Dear son, listen to her work. Forgetful of the world, Absorbing the truth within her, Discerning clearly good from evil, Always on the good path. Singing without words, The praise of the unsearchable thing, Tasting the clear unquenchable nectar, Unhesitatingly absorbing (it) within her heart. Making compassion her home each day, Keeping noble deeds as her life, Lighting the lamp of chastity, Performing many a duty. Fixing up untold images with clarity, Accepting the Guru and his grace as divine, Placing her body, wealth, and life As a slave at the feet of her husband. Conscious of her three duties, Of noble deeds, wealth, and offer of bliss, She shines praising her husband's feet. O dear son, her actions, just as the earth, are full of patience and peace. She accepts those who praise and those who abuse, displaying her tolerance to all living things with virtuous conduct. Like the earth, she tolerates those who excrete and those who urinate on it, both men and cattle. She observes the peculiarities of their bodies, their bodily features and signs and endures them. She is Manaiyal (the one who looks after the home). She does not allow her heart to meander here and there. She protects her chastity and casts her starry modest eyes at the feet of her husband, wishing that no harm should befall him - her deity. She prays with a melting heart and always seeks protection for him. She is Manaiyal, possessing the character of the earth. She destroys maya, banishes her mental desires, and establishes compassionate kindness. She goes to bed late and rises earlier. She bathes, polishes the floor, washes her body, and purifies her heart. She destroys deceit. She opens her eyes and rubs them on the feet of her husband. She stands with folded arms and lights the lamp of chastity. She gets her husband to open his eyes in that light. She is the first type of wife, my son. Did you listen, my son, gem of my eyes? ----- end of Quotation from "A Pearl of Wisdom" by His Holiness ----- [Note: to read Chapter 01 in "The Pearl of Wisdom" in entirety, please click on the following: The Pearl of Wisdom: Chapter 01 (www.ThePearlOfWisdomChap01. homestead.com)] If we haven't done this, if we haven't made the four within us go back into the one within us, if we haven't made these four destructive women within us, within all of us, who we have all married within us by the age of 24, when we truly loose our virginity, if we haven't done this, if we haven't made them all go back into the earth within us, from which they have all come, becoming Manaiyal within us, who is then married to our soul within us, bring the soul into enlightenment, then we must stay with the corpse when we die, and then experience the suffering of the grave, Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. In this way, if we haven't divorced the four destructive women within us, transfoming them through our wisdom into Manaiyal, in this way, allowing the earth to become the palace of the soul within us, if we haven't joined with our wisdom and the truth of God within us to do this within us, if we haven't become "One with" Bawa within us, and "One with" God within Him before we die, in this way, creating the "House of Light" within us before we die, if we have not done all of this before we died, then when we die, we see will see and meet these 4 destructive women, we will see and meet these 5 ruhanis, these 5 elemental spirits who have been controlling our life all of our life, from within us, all the time remainiing hidden within us, we will see and meet them for the first time, but then it is too late to do anything about them. In this way, if before we die we fail to join in partnership with God within us, and in what God is doing within us, if before we die we fail to become "One with" Bawa within us, and "One with" God within Him, and in this way build the "House of Light" within us, before we die, then after we die, we will see and meet the 5 ruhanis for the first time, when we can do nothing about them, about the 5 ruhanis that we gave birth to within us, and have grown within us, that we helped to come to maturity within us through our sin on the "outside" of us, through our life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us. In this way, if we haven't done this wisdom work within us, before we die, then when we die, for the first time, we wll finally see in the grave what has been hiding behind all of the veils and schemes of our mind and desire, we will finally see what has been hiding behind our life all this time, being nourshed by it, hiding behind our life of "separations and differences", our life of sin, in the world that we see in our collective ignrance as existing on the "outside" of us, we will finally see and meet the 5 ruhanis, the 5 elemental spirits, meeting them now "face to face" in the grave within us, meeting them now within us, for the first time within us, as the suffering of the grave within us. In this way, meeting them now in the grave within us, but now meeting them without the ability to control them, becaue we no longer have access to the wisdom and truth of God within us, to Bawa within us, and to God within Him, in order to make them become again "One with" the earth within us, before we die, in order to bring them under our foot of wisdom before we die, through the wisdom and truth of God within us, which for this age is our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and His Children (Ral.) within us, and God within Him. And then, after experiencing this suffering of the grave, we must then go to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, where "we" meets for the first time all of the Creation of God within us, as their judgment against "us", their judgment of "us", of "us" as what was keeping them as "separate from" God within us, while we were alive on the "outside" of us, yet all the time using them to sin, while we lived on the "outside" of us, while we lived a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us acting as if we were "separate from" them within us. In this way, meeting them only now within us, after the grave within us, but now without the ability to help them, without the ability to remove their "incompleteness" within us, through the "Presence of God" within us, before we died. And finally within us, after all of this is over within us, after the "suffering of the grave within us and after Qiyamah (the Sanding Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us is over within us, after all of this is over within us, then we must spend the rest of our life within us as "One with" the crop that we have sown, as "One with" the house that we have built while living on the "outside" of us, which if we have not joined in partnership with God before we died, and sown the crop of God's qualities and actions within us, and built God's house of "Oneness and Untiy" within us, is a crop and a house of sin, is a crop and house of "separation and differences", is an eternal life of "separation from" God, in this way, becoming subject to 105 million rebirths, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, which is feeling. Such is our fate, the fate of each one of us, my dearest loving brothers and sister, if our "wisdom does not reason over our fate" before we die, if the "qualities of our upper selves does not become victorious over the qualities of our lower selves" before we die. May we all realize reflect on these truths of our life a little, as it is very, very important. May we all know and accept this now, these truths of this sharing, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly. Amen. 4. Is Bawa Still Alive, or Did He Die? This is a question that we all must answer. And we must realize that our truthful answer to this question is the answer to our life, both not and in the next world. Because if Bawa is still alive, alive within the hearts of all of His Children, even after His physical death, then that means that when each of us die, we can still be alive, after our physical death, that is, if we have made Bawa within us, and God within Him, alive within us, if we have become "One with" Them within us, before we die, and in this way, if we have become everything that Bawa was before He died, with us now becoming His form within us, with is the 99 wilayats or power or attributes of God within us, the windows of the house of wisdom within us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), and with Bawa now becoming our soul, which is the Nur Muhammad within us, the soul of Muhammad (Sal.) within us, which is the "seed of True Man" within us, which is the Katpaha Virudcham, the wish fulfilling tree within us, with its roots in the 6th heaven, its trunk and branches in the 7th heaven, and its fruits in the 8th heaven or the firdaus of Muhammad (Sal.) within us. And if He is dead then when we die, then no matter what we do between now and our death, then after our death, we too will be dead. For as Bawa teaches us that Abu Bakr (peace be upon Him) told the followers of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) after He physically left the world, "For those of you who have worshipped Muhammad (Sal.), then Muhammad (Sal.) is dead, but for those of you who worship God, Muhammad (Sal.) lives". And so it is now for those of us who worship God, Bawa lives, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) lives, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) lives. Amen. 5. Everyone Is Always Doing The Very Best They Can Because Bawa teaches us that if they could do any better they would. Such is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). And of His Children who in truth are not "us' living as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, not "us" living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us. But in truth His Children, that is, His Grandchildren, His Sons and Daughters, and His Brothers and Sisters, are the understanding of God that our Father has collected as He traveled through all of the four religions in thedunya, in this earth world, that has now become the "Bank of God" in akhirah or the hereafter, which has now become "who we truly are", if we will but accept it, and become "One with" it. In this way, with Bawa becoming our soul, which is now Allahu Muhammad, the soul of True Man, which is the "seed of God", and with us now becoming His form, which is the "Bank of God" in akhirah, with akhirah happening now, as the hereafter, with the dunya becoming akhirah now, as the point of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and His Chidren (Ral.) now, as True Man and His Bank, from which God will now withdraw in order to answer the question that God asked of God in Anathi, the question, "Who am I? And in this way, bring to an end, the story of True Man within the story of God, and the story of God within the story of True Man, that we have come from God, to join with the earth, to tell, if that be our true intention. Amen. 6. Closing Wisdom Point It all comes down to, knowing "who we are", and "who Bawa is", and "who God is", and knowing what Bawa within us, and God within Him are doing within us, what They are doing within us, and then joining with Them within us, joining in partnership with Them within us, and in this way,becoming "One with" Them within us, in what They are doing within us. And in the process giving up what we think that we are doing on the"outside" of us, by handing it, handing our "outside" to Them within us, handing our "outside" to our "inside", each time our "outside" comes before us. In this way, giving up what we may think in our ignorance that we and our brothers and sisters are doing on the "outside" of us, so that "us" joined as "One with" Them within us can do what only the "Three of Us" within the "Three of God" within us can do within us, before we die, so God and True Man within us can complete Their Intentions within us, can complete what They have already started within us, even before we were born, even before we came to this earth world or dunya, which is to reveal True Man within the Creation of God (the dunya) within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation" within us, and to reveal God within the Creation of True Man (akhirah) within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation" within us. And in this way, bringing our life to completeness within us, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and and True Man within us, with all of this occurring within us, occurring within "our life", a life within us that is "of God" within us, and a life within usthat in truth has absolutely nothing to do with the current "outside" of "us". Absolutely nothing to do with "us" and our dear brothers and sisters, living a life of sin on the "outside" of us, which is our current life of "separation and differences' in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Amen. May we all think a little bit about the wisdom points shared in this documenttle, as they are very, very important to our life, both now and later. May we all know and accept this truth of our life right now, without the slightest doubt, and start to act accordingly. May God grant us the grace, the wisdom, and the help of God within us, which is the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, to do this. Amen. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
