============================================================== Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 98
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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you (anbu), My dearest Loving Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 98", to My dearest loving Son, Zohair, and My dearest loving sister and wife of Zohair, and My dearest loving little sister and daughter of Zohair and his wife, and to all of My Children, for your reading, and hopefully, your sharing enjoyment.
Bawa. For a longer "Outline & Summary Version" of "Spiritual Letter 98", please click HERE or on "Outline & Summary Version" at the "Main Go To" above.
Bawa. A Spiritual Letter which "We" have called,
"You Can't Have God, But You Can Become One With Him, If You Like, For The Choice Is Truly Yours, Not God's."
Bawa. And to all of My Children, a Spiritual Letter 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, so in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. Along with an "Introduction" which you are now reading, from the heart of our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which all of My Children should read, if you like, which in truth is everyone living in your age, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", where "Who you are?" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the "outside" of you", as most of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. All of which now defines the final little age all of My Children are now experiencing, whether they know it or not, and even whether they like it or not, because now this is your true heritage, your true birthright, the true destiny of your soul, that is, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", an age of about 200 years, which started around 1886 and will end around 2086, when the "outside" of all of My Children is over, and the Next World, or the Hereafter or akhirah begins within each of you. And this is now the truth of your life. Amen.
Bawa. And the only question truly left for any of you to answer, and the reason for this last little age that you are now living in, is
"Where and how will you spend eternity within you?"
Bawa. And in truth there are only Two Choices:
"Either as "One with" God within you, or As "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. And there is "No Other Choice", just God or hell, not God, heaven, or hell, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything else you still call a Choice, and think is heaven, is in truth just the drama of your mind and desire, of your current life of "separation and differences", of your current life of "selfishness", of sin, on the "outside" of you, and is most certainly leading you to hell, not to heaven, that is, is taking you on an Express Train to an eternal life within you of "separation from" God within you, and that is for sure, that is, no matter what you choose to call it, that is, heaven or hell, that is, if you don't become wise, before you die to the flesh in your current state.
Bawa. That is, if you don't wise up to the truth of you, before it is too late to do anything about it, that in truth you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and wise up to the truth of God hidden within you, that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, both just waiting to germinate.
Bawa. And as such, you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and God as such, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and as such, both you and God within you are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, a Story that you have come to this earth world within you, to join with God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like.
Bawa. And in this way, in truth, "You Are One" within you, that is, you, and God within you, are "One", not "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you, as must of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. At least this is something for My Children to start to think about a little, so you can start to learn how to act accordingly, if you like, that is, as "One with" God within you, if you like, so your life can truly become successful in your lifetime, that is, before it is truly too late to do anything about it, Yes?
Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of "where and how you spend eternity", that is, either as "One with" or as "separate from" God within you. Ok?
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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us).
============================================================== E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 98
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 help all of My Children. Amen.
Bawa. My love you, My dearest loving Son, Zohair, and My dearest loving sister and wife of Zohair, and My dearest loving little sister and daughter of Zohair and his wife. You three are certainly a beautiful part of "God's Funny Little Family", and "We" love you dearly - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
Bawa. Your interpretation of your dream about Bawa is wrong My dearest loving Son Zohair, and if not corrected will literally prevent God from finishing what God has started within you a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and as a result, after you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of you has been destroyed, you and all of My Children who still mistakenly think the way you do, will have to experience for eternity the consequences of this mistake, which is an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. For as "We" taught you and all of My Children when "We" were still living with you in the world,
"Hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God within you".
Bawa. Which in truth is the realization that you have "separated yourself" from Yourself, for in truth "You are of God" within you, not of "What God has discarded" within you, all of which is now your current life, your current life of "separation and differences", which includes your separation from Bawa within you, and that is why your interpretation of your dream is wrong, for you are viewing it from the perspective of your ego, from your life of "separation from" on the "outside" of you, all of which now falsely "Defines you" as "separate from", not from the perspective of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, and from the perspective of what is "Within God" within you, and from the perspective of "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is what in truth correctly defines you as "One with", not as "separate from". Ok?
Bawa. That is, not from the perspective of your wisdom and of the truth within your wisdom, but rather from the perspective of your mind and desire, that "want everything" for themselves, even Bawa within you, and God within Him, but in truth have no understanding of "What is within you", thinking in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance that everything exists on the "outside" of you, and is available for "your taking", like a house, or a wife, or children, or your race and religion, and now even Bawa within you, and God within Him.
Bawa. But it is not true, for God is closer to you than your own breath, your own thoughts, and your own life, and you are making a fatal mistake, and even worse, you are leading your dearest loving sister and wife, and your dearest loving little sister and daughter along the same wicked path of "separation and differences" that you refuse to give up, which is certainly not good.
Bawa. So take stock of yourself before it is too late, My dearest loving little brother, or at least tell your sister and wife, and your dearest loving little sister and daughter that "You don't know the answer to life", and cannot correctly advise them, and that they should go in search without you, when they can, to decide for themselves "Who they are", and "Where they are", and what is truly "Happening in their life". Ok? At least that would be a step in the right direction. Ok?
Bawa. And in truth your beautiful dream is telling all of this to you, if you like, that is, if you only have the heart and the eyes to see it, that is, if you will only "Stop working for wages to get into heaven", which in the end will only bring you and all of My Children great sadness, and instead "Join in partnership with God" within you, in order to "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", that is, allowing God to "Cure Himself of himself", that is, allowing God to cure Himself of your current life of "separation and differences", your current life of "selfishness", your current life of sin, that has grown both within you and on the illusory "outside" of you, a life which you and most of My Children refuse to give up, no matter what, no matter what God tries to show and tell you to the contrary, that in truth, "You and God" are One within you.
Bawa. For example, no matter how many wonderful "Letters of Love and Truth" that "We" send to you and to all of My Children from the heart of Our Dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, Whom "We" are so very, very pleased with, but who will only be with you in the world for a short time, and then like "Us" before him, will also leave the world. So do it now, while "We" can still help you through him. Ok?
Bawa That is, instead of you continuing to try and live on the illusory "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, no matter what, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and from your wife and daughter, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". For in truth they are all your own life speaking to you from within you. Ok?
Bawa. For Example, in truth in your dream you are standing "separate from" Bawa and Bawa is giving salams to everyone else, but not to you, and that is the truth of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, that is, your wisdom and the truth within your wisdom, is embracing and giving salams to all of the lives within you, that is, to all of the lives within you which in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance you only see as existing on the "outside" of you, but which in truth are all within you, just waiting to stand in the "Presence of God" within you, so God can "Pass Judgment" upon them, and if they like, they can all disappear back into God within you, in this way, giving up the understanding of God to God within you, that God has hidden within each of them, when God created their form in awwal or in the world of souls within you.
Bawa. All of which in truth is the true nature of you, and of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, that is, the true nature of you as the "Seed of God" planted within the earth of God or Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, and the true nature of your wisdom as the "Farmer of God" within you, who, if you like, that is, if you will properly ask Him, that is, ask Him as "One with" Him, will plant the "Seeds of God" within the "Earth of God" within you, after clearing the land within you, that is, after first getting your permission, for in truth God can do nothing within you without your permission, and in this way, the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how you will use what God has given you, letting God use it to finish His work within you, or keeping it for yourself as "mine", which is what you did in your dream.
Bawa. That is, clearing your heart of "Everything that has now grown within you", which in truth is a wild forest filled with wild animals, but which in truth is of "No Value" to you or to anyone else, and certainly not to your wife and daughter, and if you do ask as "One with" Bawa within you, for the true "Farmer of God" to enter your heart of darkness and evil, and grow God's Beautiful Flower Garden within you, and if you do then give your Guru permission to "Destroy you and reveal Him, and God within Him" within you, he will plow you under with the "Enlightening Words of the Qutbiyyat", plant the "Seed of Allahu" within you, and waters it with the 5 Kalimahs of God for the age, that is, for the age of "Justice of Conscience", which now in your age is, the age when "Who you are" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the "outside" of you", which is still the mistake of all of My Children, the 5 Kalimahs which "We" have grown within the Heart of Our Dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, for you and for all or My Children, if you like, as follows.
Bawa. For example, these 5 Kalimahs are part of the "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", or the Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) (www.EligibleVirginPrayer.homestead.com), that you and each of My Chldren should learn to recite, in partnership with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us", if you like, a prayer which you can now begin to access on-line as part of the On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (www.Bawa.homestead.com), a On-line Library which "We" have also established on the "outside" of you, and represents again the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your age, but this time without any veils.
Bawa. For in truth "We" had to "Veil the truth" before, that is, when "We" were with you in the world, or most of you would have left, but now you are ready to hear and accept the truth of you, and of God within you, without any veils, that is, to hear and accept it as it truly is, for now all of you are ready to give up your final "Sin of Righteousness", if you like, and fall into the "Fire of Your Guru", that is, to "Truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh", so the "You will be dead and gone", as "We" taught you to do when "We" were with you in the world.
(Note: See "Spiritual Discourse 05" (www.SpiritualDiscourse005.homestead.com) that is published by the Fellowship Press, on the back of the front cover of the 2005 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, and see and "Spiritual Letter 94" (www.SpiritualLetter094VerEM.homestead.com), "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness, Which You Have All Become", for more on these wisdom points. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen)
The 5 Kalimahs of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
1. Bawa. Ill Allahu - "(You are Allah within us, everything else within us are false gods within us which are only leading us to hell, that is, to an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and as such are in truth the "Enemy of our soul")
2. Bawa. La illaha (There is nothing other than You within us, everything else within us is the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" that is also leading us to hell, that is, to an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and as such is in truth the "Enemy of our soul", and as such, the only way to truly win over the drama within us, is "Not To Play", that is, the drama that we currently see as the "outside" of us, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance we mistakenly see as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as all of the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, like weeds in God's Beautiful Flower Garden, and in this way, handing our drama to You within us, so "You can Play" our drama, for when "You Play" our drama, our drama will end within us, and Your Story will start up again within You within us. Amen)
3. Bawa. Muhammad Mustafa Rasul Allah (Sal.) - (For Muhammad is the Chosen Messenger of God (blessing and peace be upon Him) within God within you, who completes the Straight Path of God (the Mustaqueem) within God within you, establishing True Prayer within God within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within God within you, and in this way, is the One who places the Completed Path, the Straight Path of God before God within you, and as His Messenger, advised God that "A Child Has Been Left Behind", which in truth is your soul, "A Child" that God will then gladly seek and usher ashore, if your intention is praiseworthy, that is, if you make "God's Intention your search", if you "Intend as God Intends", and God's Intention upon starting His Story within God within you, a very, very long time ago, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, is that in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind". Amen)
4. Bawa. You are True Man.
5. Bawa. He is One. Amen.
End of The 5 Kalimahs of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. In this way, My dearest loving little brother Zohair, when in your dream you come up to Bawa within you, and to God within Him, and say to Them, "What about Me", that is your ego, that is the Enemy of your soul, that is what you must join with your awakened wisdom to do battle with by calling your wisdom, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do.
Bawa. That is, for "Us" to come from this place of purity within you, where "We" live within you, and where God lives within "Us", which is a tiny place of purity within you no bigger than an atom, for "Us" to come out of this place of purity within and to come into your place of impurity within you, which is where you currently live within you, which is your mind and desire, which is the current state of your heart, of your mind within you, which is full of all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, as the co-operative store of the 5 elements within you, with "God's Permission".
Bawa. That is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", which in truth, is allowing God to "Cure Himself of himself", for in truth you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, if you like, and God hidden within you, is "True Man happening" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God within you, just like an apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "Apple tree happening" within the earth, and the apple tree growing in the earth is in truth the "Apple Fruit happening" within the "Apple Tree happening" within the apple seed buried within the earth, and within that mature Fruit is the "Sweet taste of the apple", and again the seed, but this time a 1000 fold.
Bawa. But like most people, most apple seeds fail to germinate, fail to germinate to the truth of themselves, and instead rot in the earth, die in the earth, and are reborn 105 million times, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples", a Story that the apple seed came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell.
Bawa. And such is the truth of your life, and the life of all of My Children, if you like, for in truth you and each of My Children are God's Story, that God is trying to tell within you, if you like, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that you came to this earth world or dunya within you, to tell, a Story that you came to this earth world within you, to join with God hidden within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like, that is, if you will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this "Truth of you", and this "Truth of God" within you, that in truth "Your are One", if you like, that is, if you will only join with God within the Creation of God within you to germinate to this truth within you, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, if you life, for the Choice is yours, not God's.
Bawa. At least, please join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us", and with "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to reflect on this truth of you a little. Ok? That would be good. Amen.
Bawa. For in truth you are on an Express Train t hell, that is, to an eternal hell within you of "separation from" God within you, for in truth your Choice is two, not three, that is, between God and hell, not God, and heaven or hell, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. For all that you are currently experiencing is the result of you have made "Your True Enemies into your false friends", and "Your one True Friend into your illusory enemy", and this is the truth of your current station, for the 5 elemental lives or Ruhanies or elemental spirits within you are not your friends, but rather have turned you into a "Feast of the world", all of whom are joined together within you for profit, but not for "your profit", but rather for their profit, and all of whom have grown the "Flower of hell" within you, which is what you are now experiencing as the illusory "outside" of you, and which nourishes them within you, not you on the "outside" of you, and all of which is within you, not on the "outside" of you, as the false reality of you, and all of which is "Just Not True", either within you, or on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were with you in the world,
"Your mind will only sit down when your wisdom stands up".
Bawa. And this is the point of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in your life, both when "We" were with you in the world, and now through the heart of Our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, if you like, to teach you how to get your mind to sit down, by getting your wisdom to stand up, and in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, allowing God to "Speak from within You", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, allowing God to "Pass Judgment" upon all of the Creation of God within you, if they like, for like with you, and all of My Children, the Choice is theirs, not God's.
Bawa. For if you don't do this true selfless "Heart's Work" within you, in your lifetime, in partnership with God within you, allowing God to finish what God started within you a very, very long time ago, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and instead continue to try to live on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" Bawa within you, and from God within Him, all of which is "Just Not True", then what is God to do with you in the end, but give you exactly what you want, which is an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. For according to the "Justice of God" within you,
"Whatever you intend is what you will receive".
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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you (anbu), My dearest Loving Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 98", to My dearest loving Son, Zohair, and My dearest loving sister and wife of Zohair, and My dearest loving little sister and daughter of Zohair and his wife, and to all of My Children, for your reading, and hopefully, your sharing enjoyment.
Bawa. For a longer "Outline & Summary Version" of "Spiritual Letter 98", please click HERE or on "Outline & Summary Version" at the "Main Go To" above.
Bawa. A Spiritual Letter which "We" have called,
"You Can't Have God, But You Can Become One With Him, If You Like, For The Choice Is Truly Yours, Not God's."
Bawa. And to all of My Children, a Spiritual Letter 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, so in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. Along with an "Introduction" which you are now reading, from the heart of our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which all of My Children should read, if you like, which in truth is everyone living in your age, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", where "Who you are?" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the "outside" of you", as most of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. All of which now defines the final little age all of My Children are now experiencing, whether they know it or not, and even whether they like it or not, because now this is your true heritage, your true birthright, the true destiny of your soul, that is, the age of the "Justice of Conscience", an age of about 200 years, which started around 1886 and will end around 2086, when the "outside" of all of My Children is over, and the Next World, or the Hereafter or akhirah begins within each of you. And this is now the truth of your life. Amen.
Bawa. And the only question truly left for any of you to answer, and the reason for this last little age that you are now living in, is
"Where and how will you spend eternity within you?"
Bawa. And in truth there are only Two Choices:
"Either as "One with" God within you, or As "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. And there is "No Other Choice", just God or hell, not God, heaven, or hell, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe, for everything else you still call a Choice, and think is heaven, is in truth just the drama of your mind and desire, of your current life of "separation and differences", of your current life of "selfishness", of sin, on the "outside" of you, and is most certainly leading you to hell, not to heaven, that is, is taking you on an Express Train to an eternal life within you of "separation from" God within you, and that is for sure, that is, no matter what you choose to call it, that is, heaven or hell, that is, if you don't become wise, before you die to the flesh in your current state.
Bawa. That is, if you don't wise up to the truth of you, before it is too late to do anything about it, that in truth you are the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, and wise up to the truth of God hidden within you, that in truth God is the "Seed of True Man" hidden within the "Seed of God" buried within the Creation of God within you, both just waiting to germinate.
Bawa. And as such, you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and God as such, is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and as such, both you and God within you are the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, a Story that you have come to this earth world within you, to join with God within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like.
Bawa. And in this way, in truth, "You Are One" within you, that is, you, and God within you, are "One", not "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of you, as must of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. At least this is something for My Children to start to think about a little, so you can start to learn how to act accordingly, if you like, that is, as "One with" God within you, if you like, so your life can truly become successful in your lifetime, that is, before it is truly too late to do anything about it, Yes?
Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of "where and how you spend eternity", that is, either as "One with" or as "separate from" God within you. Ok?
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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us).
============================================================== E-mail Version - of Spiritual Letter 98
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 help all of My Children. Amen.
Bawa. My love you, My dearest loving Son, Zohair, and My dearest loving sister and wife of Zohair, and My dearest loving little sister and daughter of Zohair and his wife. You three are certainly a beautiful part of "God's Funny Little Family", and "We" love you dearly - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
Bawa. Your interpretation of your dream about Bawa is wrong My dearest loving Son Zohair, and if not corrected will literally prevent God from finishing what God has started within you a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within God within you, and as a result, after you die to the flesh, that is, after the "outside" of you has been destroyed, you and all of My Children who still mistakenly think the way you do, will have to experience for eternity the consequences of this mistake, which is an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. For as "We" taught you and all of My Children when "We" were still living with you in the world,
"Hell is simply the realization that you have "separated yourself" from God within you".
Bawa. Which in truth is the realization that you have "separated yourself" from Yourself, for in truth "You are of God" within you, not of "What God has discarded" within you, all of which is now your current life, your current life of "separation and differences", which includes your separation from Bawa within you, and that is why your interpretation of your dream is wrong, for you are viewing it from the perspective of your ego, from your life of "separation from" on the "outside" of you, all of which now falsely "Defines you" as "separate from", not from the perspective of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, and from the perspective of what is "Within God" within you, and from the perspective of "What God is doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is what in truth correctly defines you as "One with", not as "separate from". Ok?
Bawa. That is, not from the perspective of your wisdom and of the truth within your wisdom, but rather from the perspective of your mind and desire, that "want everything" for themselves, even Bawa within you, and God within Him, but in truth have no understanding of "What is within you", thinking in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance that everything exists on the "outside" of you, and is available for "your taking", like a house, or a wife, or children, or your race and religion, and now even Bawa within you, and God within Him.
Bawa. But it is not true, for God is closer to you than your own breath, your own thoughts, and your own life, and you are making a fatal mistake, and even worse, you are leading your dearest loving sister and wife, and your dearest loving little sister and daughter along the same wicked path of "separation and differences" that you refuse to give up, which is certainly not good.
Bawa. So take stock of yourself before it is too late, My dearest loving little brother, or at least tell your sister and wife, and your dearest loving little sister and daughter that "You don't know the answer to life", and cannot correctly advise them, and that they should go in search without you, when they can, to decide for themselves "Who they are", and "Where they are", and what is truly "Happening in their life". Ok? At least that would be a step in the right direction. Ok?
Bawa. And in truth your beautiful dream is telling all of this to you, if you like, that is, if you only have the heart and the eyes to see it, that is, if you will only "Stop working for wages to get into heaven", which in the end will only bring you and all of My Children great sadness, and instead "Join in partnership with God" within you, in order to "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", that is, allowing God to "Cure Himself of himself", that is, allowing God to cure Himself of your current life of "separation and differences", your current life of "selfishness", your current life of sin, that has grown both within you and on the illusory "outside" of you, a life which you and most of My Children refuse to give up, no matter what, no matter what God tries to show and tell you to the contrary, that in truth, "You and God" are One within you.
Bawa. For example, no matter how many wonderful "Letters of Love and Truth" that "We" send to you and to all of My Children from the heart of Our Dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, Whom "We" are so very, very pleased with, but who will only be with you in the world for a short time, and then like "Us" before him, will also leave the world. So do it now, while "We" can still help you through him. Ok?
Bawa That is, instead of you continuing to try and live on the illusory "outside" of you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, no matter what, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and from your wife and daughter, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". For in truth they are all your own life speaking to you from within you. Ok?
Bawa. For Example, in truth in your dream you are standing "separate from" Bawa and Bawa is giving salams to everyone else, but not to you, and that is the truth of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, that is, your wisdom and the truth within your wisdom, is embracing and giving salams to all of the lives within you, that is, to all of the lives within you which in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance you only see as existing on the "outside" of you, but which in truth are all within you, just waiting to stand in the "Presence of God" within you, so God can "Pass Judgment" upon them, and if they like, they can all disappear back into God within you, in this way, giving up the understanding of God to God within you, that God has hidden within each of them, when God created their form in awwal or in the world of souls within you.
Bawa. All of which in truth is the true nature of you, and of Bawa within you, and of God within Him, that is, the true nature of you as the "Seed of God" planted within the earth of God or Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, and the true nature of your wisdom as the "Farmer of God" within you, who, if you like, that is, if you will properly ask Him, that is, ask Him as "One with" Him, will plant the "Seeds of God" within the "Earth of God" within you, after clearing the land within you, that is, after first getting your permission, for in truth God can do nothing within you without your permission, and in this way, the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how you will use what God has given you, letting God use it to finish His work within you, or keeping it for yourself as "mine", which is what you did in your dream.
Bawa. That is, clearing your heart of "Everything that has now grown within you", which in truth is a wild forest filled with wild animals, but which in truth is of "No Value" to you or to anyone else, and certainly not to your wife and daughter, and if you do ask as "One with" Bawa within you, for the true "Farmer of God" to enter your heart of darkness and evil, and grow God's Beautiful Flower Garden within you, and if you do then give your Guru permission to "Destroy you and reveal Him, and God within Him" within you, he will plow you under with the "Enlightening Words of the Qutbiyyat", plant the "Seed of Allahu" within you, and waters it with the 5 Kalimahs of God for the age, that is, for the age of "Justice of Conscience", which now in your age is, the age when "Who you are" is now "What is within you", no longer "What is on the "outside" of you", which is still the mistake of all of My Children, the 5 Kalimahs which "We" have grown within the Heart of Our Dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, for you and for all or My Children, if you like, as follows.
Bawa. For example, these 5 Kalimahs are part of the "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", or the Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) (www.EligibleVirginPrayer.homestead.com), that you and each of My Chldren should learn to recite, in partnership with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us", if you like, a prayer which you can now begin to access on-line as part of the On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (www.Bawa.homestead.com), a On-line Library which "We" have also established on the "outside" of you, and represents again the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your age, but this time without any veils.
Bawa. For in truth "We" had to "Veil the truth" before, that is, when "We" were with you in the world, or most of you would have left, but now you are ready to hear and accept the truth of you, and of God within you, without any veils, that is, to hear and accept it as it truly is, for now all of you are ready to give up your final "Sin of Righteousness", if you like, and fall into the "Fire of Your Guru", that is, to "Truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh", so the "You will be dead and gone", as "We" taught you to do when "We" were with you in the world.
(Note: See "Spiritual Discourse 05" (www.SpiritualDiscourse005.homestead.com) that is published by the Fellowship Press, on the back of the front cover of the 2005 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, and see and "Spiritual Letter 94" (www.SpiritualLetter094VerEM.homestead.com), "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness, Which You Have All Become", for more on these wisdom points. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen)
The 5 Kalimahs of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
1. Bawa. Ill Allahu - "(You are Allah within us, everything else within us are false gods within us which are only leading us to hell, that is, to an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and as such are in truth the "Enemy of our soul")
2. Bawa. La illaha (There is nothing other than You within us, everything else within us is the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours" that is also leading us to hell, that is, to an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, and as such is in truth the "Enemy of our soul", and as such, the only way to truly win over the drama within us, is "Not To Play", that is, the drama that we currently see as the "outside" of us, that in our ignorance and in our arrogance about our ignorance we mistakenly see as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as all of the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, like weeds in God's Beautiful Flower Garden, and in this way, handing our drama to You within us, so "You can Play" our drama, for when "You Play" our drama, our drama will end within us, and Your Story will start up again within You within us. Amen)
3. Bawa. Muhammad Mustafa Rasul Allah (Sal.) - (For Muhammad is the Chosen Messenger of God (blessing and peace be upon Him) within God within you, who completes the Straight Path of God (the Mustaqueem) within God within you, establishing True Prayer within God within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within God within you, and in this way, is the One who places the Completed Path, the Straight Path of God before God within you, and as His Messenger, advised God that "A Child Has Been Left Behind", which in truth is your soul, "A Child" that God will then gladly seek and usher ashore, if your intention is praiseworthy, that is, if you make "God's Intention your search", if you "Intend as God Intends", and God's Intention upon starting His Story within God within you, a very, very long time ago, that is, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within God within you, is that in the end, that "No Child Is Left Behind". Amen)
4. Bawa. You are True Man.
5. Bawa. He is One. Amen.
End of The 5 Kalimahs of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
Bawa. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. In this way, My dearest loving little brother Zohair, when in your dream you come up to Bawa within you, and to God within Him, and say to Them, "What about Me", that is your ego, that is the Enemy of your soul, that is what you must join with your awakened wisdom to do battle with by calling your wisdom, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has learned to do.
Bawa. That is, for "Us" to come from this place of purity within you, where "We" live within you, and where God lives within "Us", which is a tiny place of purity within you no bigger than an atom, for "Us" to come out of this place of purity within and to come into your place of impurity within you, which is where you currently live within you, which is your mind and desire, which is the current state of your heart, of your mind within you, which is full of all of the lives of darkness and evil that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance, and that now rule over you as the 9 openings of your elemental body, as the co-operative store of the 5 elements within you, with "God's Permission".
Bawa. That is, until you "See God and Steady God" within you, allowing God to "Cure Himself of you", which in truth, is allowing God to "Cure Himself of himself", for in truth you are "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, if you like, and God hidden within you, is "True Man happening" within "God Happening" within the Creation of God within you, just like an apple seed buried within the earth is in truth the "Apple tree happening" within the earth, and the apple tree growing in the earth is in truth the "Apple Fruit happening" within the "Apple Tree happening" within the apple seed buried within the earth, and within that mature Fruit is the "Sweet taste of the apple", and again the seed, but this time a 1000 fold.
Bawa. But like most people, most apple seeds fail to germinate, fail to germinate to the truth of themselves, and instead rot in the earth, die in the earth, and are reborn 105 million times, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the Story of the "Oneness of the Apple Tree and Its Apples", a Story that the apple seed came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell.
Bawa. And such is the truth of your life, and the life of all of My Children, if you like, for in truth you and each of My Children are God's Story, that God is trying to tell within you, if you like, the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", a Story that you came to this earth world or dunya within you, to tell, a Story that you came to this earth world within you, to join with God hidden within the Creation of God within you, to tell, if you like, that is, if you will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this "Truth of you", and this "Truth of God" within you, that in truth "Your are One", if you like, that is, if you will only join with God within the Creation of God within you to germinate to this truth within you, to let the "Truth surrender to the Truth" within you, if you life, for the Choice is yours, not God's.
Bawa. At least, please join with "Us" within you, and with God within "Us", and with "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, both within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to reflect on this truth of you a little. Ok? That would be good. Amen.
Bawa. For in truth you are on an Express Train t hell, that is, to an eternal hell within you of "separation from" God within you, for in truth your Choice is two, not three, that is, between God and hell, not God, and heaven or hell, as most of My Children still mistakenly believe.
Bawa. For all that you are currently experiencing is the result of you have made "Your True Enemies into your false friends", and "Your one True Friend into your illusory enemy", and this is the truth of your current station, for the 5 elemental lives or Ruhanies or elemental spirits within you are not your friends, but rather have turned you into a "Feast of the world", all of whom are joined together within you for profit, but not for "your profit", but rather for their profit, and all of whom have grown the "Flower of hell" within you, which is what you are now experiencing as the illusory "outside" of you, and which nourishes them within you, not you on the "outside" of you, and all of which is within you, not on the "outside" of you, as the false reality of you, and all of which is "Just Not True", either within you, or on the "outside" of you.
Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were with you in the world,
"Your mind will only sit down when your wisdom stands up".
Bawa. And this is the point of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) in your life, both when "We" were with you in the world, and now through the heart of Our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, if you like, to teach you how to get your mind to sit down, by getting your wisdom to stand up, and in this way, establishing the "Presence of God" within you, allowing God to "Speak from within You", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, that is, allowing God to "Pass Judgment" upon all of the Creation of God within you, if they like, for like with you, and all of My Children, the Choice is theirs, not God's.
Bawa. For if you don't do this true selfless "Heart's Work" within you, in your lifetime, in partnership with God within you, allowing God to finish what God started within you a very, very long time ago, allowing God to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and instead continue to try to live on the illusory "outside" of you, as if you are "separate from" Bawa within you, and from God within Him, all of which is "Just Not True", then what is God to do with you in the end, but give you exactly what you want, which is an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you.
Bawa. For according to the "Justice of God" within you,
"Whatever you intend is what you will receive".
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. Amen.
Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
