Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum al-salam 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 us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - our dearest loving brothers and sisters - Asma'el Muhaiyaddeen (Rick Hacket) and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is a beautiful opportunity for each of us to come together in the "Name of God" for our age, which in truth is the "Name of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)", is the name of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, so "He can be there" within us, and teach us "What we do not know" within us, if we like, for the Choice to reallize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of us, and with this truth of God within us, in this way, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. For just like what the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) did on the "outside" of us as "An Example", over 2000 years ago, as an Example of what we must now do within us, coming as a Messenger of God to awaken the Holy Spirit in the Father and Mother of "John the Baptist", and coming as the Holy Spirit to awaken the Light of God within the heart of Mary, the Mother of Jesus (peace be upon Her), so must we do now within us, in partnership with God within us, awakening the faith and wisdom of "John the Baptist" within our very own hearts, and using it to liberate our soul from the cross of this elemental body, and in this way, and only in this way, awakening the Light of God within our very own hearts, and setting it on its journey back into the "Oneness" that is God within us. Bawa. And just like what the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) did on the "outside" of us as "An Example", over 1400 years ago, as an Example of what we must also now do within us, in partnership with God within us, which is to allow our awakened faith and wisdom joined as "One with" our liberated soul to find and again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of "separation and differences" on the outside of us, living as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just not true", and an eternal hell of "separation from" God becomes our lot. Bawa. For the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) at the time of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), that is, over 1400 years ago, when the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) was meditating in "A Cave" outside of Mecca, came to our Holy Prophet (Sal.), and embraced him, squeezing his chest, saying to him, three times, "Read! Read! In the name of God, who created man from a sensitive drop of blood, and teaches him what he does not know, Read!" Bawa. So too in our age, our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), are coming to each of us, and offering to embrace and squeeze each of us, saying to us three times, "Don't Forget Me, Don't Forget Me, Don't Forget Me". Bawa. That is, are coming to each of us, as we meditate in "Our Cave", which is the place of true prayer within us, within our very own heart, or our heart within our heart, which is the place of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, of firdaus, the 8th heaven or the Kingdom of God within us, the the "Secret World of Allah" within us, all of which is the "Cave" or place of true prayer within us, if we like, the "Prayer of the One to the One who is" within us, the place of true prayer within us which is just outside of Mecca within us. Bawa. Which in truth for our age is Philadelphia within us, is the "City of Brotherly Love" within us, is our purified heart, which is the "House of wisdom", the "Palace of the soul" within us, which is the true Fellowship within us, from which we can truly love all lives as our own, if we like, which is the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, or of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, which is the "Ship of the Qutb" within us, which is the "11 Weapons of the Qutb" within us, if we like, for the Choice to accept and use this truth of us, and this truth of God within us, in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, with "All of Them" within God within the Creation of God within us, including all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God within God within us, telling us to join in partnership with God within us, that is, to join with Them within God within us, and with God within Them, to "Read, Read, Read". Bawa. That is, like in the Examples of God on the "outside" of us, of "John the Baptist" and of Jesus (peace be upon Them), over 2000 years ago in Jerusalam, and of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago in Medina and Mecca, and of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) over 1000 years ago in Baghdad, and now in our age of His Holiness Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), in Philadelphia, to let "God Speak" from within us. Bawa. That is, to let "God Speak" from within us, by joining in partnership with God within us, to allow God within us to make us "Silent" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, and only in this way, to let "God Speak" the "Word of God" for our age from within us, for the Children of God for our age, as the "Light of God" for our age, that is, to let the "Grace, Wisdom, and Ilm or Divine Knowledge" of God within us flow through our hearts to the Children of God for our age, as the "Light of God" for our age, as the "Word of God" for our age, as the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, if we like, for such is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul for our age, for each of us living in this age, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, because God has "Made it So" within each of us, in our age. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, allowing Bawa within us, and God within Him, to continue teaching us from within us, to continue teaching us how to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can do battle with the "Enemy of our soul", in this way, liberating our soul, which is our original "pure birth and life" within us, from the cross of our elemental body, from the cross of its "impure birth and life" within us, which is really within us, as the lives of darkness and evil that we have allowed to grow within us, like weeds in "God's Beautiful Flower Garden", which is the original state of our heart, but which we are currently experiencing in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, as our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, with us living as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For as our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children are teaching us right now, in this beautiful book of wisdom, or "A Book of Our Love", by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), the following: - Beginning of Quotation from the book "The Pearl of Wisdom", Chapter 30 - by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) "Dear, Son, if you wish to differentiate between good and bad and clarify yourself, you should associate with a virtuous Guru, perform His bidding, accept His exhortations, record and preserve them in the book of your heart. Then the Master Guru will take that tablet of the heart, read it, and advise you further. He will teach you the secret of assembling the body of man with the twenty-eight letters of grace on each spot. He will show you how to enliven each spot, how to give life to it, how to speak tactfully, how to dismantle the body parts, and how to re-assemble them. In this state, my Son, if you lean the "magic" of dismantling the human body, and re-assembling it, you will witness the Primal One. Dear Son, there are magical numbers to enliven each letter. Learn these numbers from the Guru. Further, this magic contains three Sacred Words. My Son, you should eliminate earth, woman, and gold from your body. No sooner the Guru sees you in this purified state, he will instruct you in the magic of the three Sacred Words. "Be aloof (alone), Be hungry, Be alert (awake)." If you diligently observe these three, you will have the Grace of Allah. The Guru's Secret is this. Learn this. Once you have mastered this magic, your Guru will impart to you His Grace, the Gnaana Magic (the Divine Word)." - End of Quotation from the book "The Pearl of Wisdom", Chapter 30 - by M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) [Note: This Quotation is from "Chapter 30", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com). To read Chapter 30 in full please click above or HERE (www.SpiritualBook002Chap30.homestead. com). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. So if you like, please join with "Us" to experience this "sitting" in the "Presence of God" within us, as God "Cures Himself of us", of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, by closing down the world of hell within us (water beings within us, experienced below our waist, experience as false creation or birth within us), by closing down the world of jinns within us (fire beings within us, experience as our stomach, experience as false destruction or death within us), by closing down the world of fairies (air beings within us, experienced as our chest, experience as false life within us), all of which make up 1000 of the 18,000 Universes within us. Bawa. And by re-opening the world of souls (the original pure birth and life within us, experience as the faith of "John the Baptist" within us, witnessing the light of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and by opening the kingdom of God within us (the original pure birth and life within us coming to maturity as "True Prayer" of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Bawa. If you like, that is, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to allow God within us to tell and Complete "His Story" within us, transforming it into "Our Story" within "His Story" within us, so on the end, there is "No Child Left Behind", or not, is most certainly our Choice, not God's. Amen. ============================================================== Our Charter: (click HERE to read a Full Version of "Our Charter") "It will be good if it is done with each alternating as questioner and respondent.

Another Answer 01 - Posted by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) (www.ABookOfOurLoveQ01OA01.homestead.com) 2. Another Answer 02 - (see below) Bawa. Let "Another Answer 02" be from you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and send us your Answer to Question 01, and we will Post a Link or Pointer to your Answer to Question 01 "here", and give your Answer to Question 01 its own unique URL or Web Page, like we did above, with "Another Answer 01", so you and others can point to it, and access it, directly from any E-mail that you send, or from any other Web Page, in this way, with "you" becoming the "Word of God" for our age, the "Word of God made flesh", for the Children of God for our age, if you like, for God has truly "Made it So" within each of us in our age, the only question left is "Do you want it?". ============================================================== The Main Point of Our Life, of All Life - is to become the "Word of God" for our age, the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, if we like, that is, to truly become the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) Bawa. And such is the "Point of Our Life", My dearest loving brothers and sisters, that is, for each of us to become the "Word of God" for our age, the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, if we like, for God has truly "Made it So" within each of us in our age, the only question left is "Do we want it?". Bawa. That is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and in truth there is no other Choice, for everything else that we think is a Choice, like deciding to be a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, a Hindu, or a Zoroastrian, or even a "Member of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship", is in truth just drama, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and will only lead us to hell, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us. And that is for sure. Bawa. So My dearest loving brothers and sisters, before we "Say or do or write" anything, say the word "Bawa" or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), or the name of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), for in truth it is all the same, it is all "One" within us, and in this way, establish the "Presence of God" within us, for our age, before we "say or do or write" anything, and then start to write, and also start each new paragraph with the word "Bawa", as this child has learned to do, and then God will do "Everything Else", everything else to make our life truly successful in our life time. Bawa. And "yes", it is truly this simple, that is, to again become "One with" God within us, or at least to truly start to do this, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. For to do this in our lifetime, that is, to have a "Perfectly Pure Heart", or at least to truly start to have one, in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, we must have patience, contentment and gratitude, trust in God, praise of God for whatever happens to us, and the realization at each moment of our life, that "Only God is Great", a state which in the Islamic tradition is called the state of Iman-Islam, but which is truly the same and main point in all religions,. Bawa. And in this way, in the Islamic tradition, it is said that to become truly successful in our lifetime, we must join with God within us, to become the Qualities and Actions of God within us, that is, to become the "Form of God" in the world, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God in the world, that is, to first become or take on the qualities of "sabur, shukur, tawwakul Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, and Allahu Akbar within us, which is the "Prerequisite" of a "Perfectly Pure Heart", of Iman-Islam, and then in maturity as a "True Human Being" to become the 99 Wilayats or Powers of Allah, revealing within the 99 the One within the 99, which is True Man within God within the Creation of God, and God within True Man, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, as the Completion of the Story of God within us, and in this way, Completing God's Intention for telling "His Story" within us, that when His Story is over, that "No Child Be Left Behind", that in the end, there is nothing still "separate from" God within us. Amen. Bawa. That is, we must join with God within us to reveal God within us, to reveal His Qualities and Actions from within us, like the fragrance of a beautiful flower, that is, we must have patience, both with the world on the "outside" of us, and with God withi us, or sabur, and we must find contentment with what God has done for us, and given to us, which is everything, and be greatful for each thing, or shakur, and in all things we must demonstrate our trust in God within us, and our trust in what is "within God" within us, including all of the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, within God within us (may God be pleased with all of His Prophets), which include the 8 Main Prophets of God within us, which are Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, and Jesus (peace be upon Them), as the 7 Letters of God, as the 7 Disciles of God, which is the Fragrance of the 7 heavens within us, and the First and Final Prophet of God, Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) which God sents to us as as "Our Heart Made Ripe", as the "Fruit of God", as the 8th heaven within us, as True Prayer within us, of God praying to God within us, as the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, Bawa. And as our trust in God, or Tawwakul Allah, as our trust in what God is doing within us, that is, in what God is doing with what is "within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and in this way, praising God within us, and what is "within God" within us, and what God is doing within us, for everything that comes to us, saying "Al-hamdu lillah", realizisng at all times, and in all things, that "Only God is Great", or Allahu Akbar, that only God can do anything with anything, realizing that everything else in our life, other than God within us, and what is "within God" within us, and what "God is doing" with what is "within God" within us, is just a dream, a dream of "separation and differences" on the outside of us, that is only leading us to an eternal hell of "separtion from" God with us, and is of no "true value" in our life, which includes everything that we currently see on the "outside" of us, and everything that we are currently doing on the "outside" in our current state of "apparent" separation from God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. That if we will take just "One step" toward Him on the "outside" of us, that He will take at least 100 steps toward us within us. Bawa. Because God has truly "Made it so" within each of us for our age. All we have to do now is truly accept it, and start to use it, that is, all we have to do now, in our age, is to truly accept this "Gift of God" for our age, the "Word of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age, from the "Word of God made flesh" for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is the life and teaching of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), and then start to use it. Bawa. And in this way, start to use God within us to get to God within us, and stop trying to use anything else, including ourselves on the "outside" of us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, in our current state of living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And for each of us to do this now, without any hesitation, and without doubt, for if we have "doubt" then "we are out", for none of us know if we have even another day, or even another breath, or not, that is, before we meet the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, and have to face the "suffering of the grave" within us, with us becoming "one with" the 5 ruhanies or elemental spirits within us, roaming the earth world within us as a demon, a jinn, a fairy, or a ghost, until "Qiyamah within us", until the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment within us, with us then talking on as part of our judgment 105 million re-births, with us ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, with us taking on as part of our judgment an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, that is, if we die to the flesh in our current state. Ok? Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we end up in our life, the Choice of how we spend eternity within us, either as "One with" or as "separate from" God within us, for God has already done everything else, everything else necessary for us to make this Choice, and receive either God, or anything and everything else, as our reward for eternity, as our reward for having lived in the world for a short time, for in truth our own temporaty life on the "outside" of us truly answers the "Big Question" of our life, that is, "What do we truly want" for eternity within us, and then that is what "we will get" for eternity. Bawa. For the "Justice of God" within us is that, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive". Bawa. May we all realize and accept this truth within us, and before we die to the flesh in our current state, join with God within us to "Make Our Choice Wisely", that is, to Choose God within us, over "us" on the "outside" of us, and then join in partnership with God within us to start to "Live Our Life Wisely", that is, in the "Presence of God" within us, not in "our presence" on the "outside" of us. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).
