Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Al-hamdu lillah. In sha 'allah, ma sha 'allah. Tawakkal-Allah. Allahumma labbaik.

In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone. If God so wills, whatever God wills. I place my trust in God, and in God alone, and am obedient to His will, and to His will alone.

May all responsibility be given to Allah, the One who is limitless grace, and incomparable love, the One who gives us His blessings.

When Trying To Help Other, We Must Be Very Careful, And Call On God
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
My dearest loving sisters Aziza, thank you for your letter.  My love both you and Elliott and your two sons very, very much.  All of you are always in my heart, my love, and my prayers.

We must always try to do all that we can to move both ourselves and our brothers and sisters closer to God.  But we must be very careful when we try to do this kind of work, because it can have the opposite effect from what we are trying to accomplish.  It is a very subtle thing living in this world of illusion, this world of separation and differences that God has given to us, that God has placed before each of us.

We Are All Equally To Blame For Everything That Happens In The World
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
The clarity of this child tells me that all of us are equally to blame for what we see happening in the world, because all of us lack justice in our lives, all of us lack justice in our thoughts, our intentions, our qualities, and in our actions, not just our brothers and sisters in Israel or in Palestine, or in Afghanistan, or in any other parts of the world.  None of us is free of blame.  We are all equally at fault.  No one is free of fault but God.

We Must Be Very Careful About Helping Others "Separate From" Them
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
We must realize, understand, accept, and join with the truth of our lives, and come to understand the current state of our lives, we must come to realize that we are still in the state of "separation from", and our goal is to move out of that state and into the state of "oneness with", which is the state of God within us, of His Holiness within us, and of all of the things of God and True Man within us, the state of the Triple Flame within us - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - which is everything within the Qutb within us, within Muhaiyaddeen 'Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, which is God, goodness, and the soul within us, which is the Tree of
Muhammadar Rasulullah
within us, with the taproot of La ilaha Ill Allahu, the affirmation of the Truth of God, with the trunk of Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God, with the branches of the 124,000 Prophets of God within us, and with the fruits of God for this age, which are the 6,666 verses of the Holy Qur'an within us, and the 28 letters of the living Holy Qur'an within us, which are the parts of the human body.

And as long as we are in the state of "separation from" we cannot really help anyone.  Only when we move out of this state and become "one with" God within us, which is one with the Triple Flame of God within us - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen
or
- God, The Shaikh, and The Disciple -  "one with" all of our brothers and sister within us, who in truth are "the 28 Arabic letters that have been born as Adam (A.S.)'s Children" within us, the "multiplicity of which make the human form" as the 1000 generosities of God within us, and "one with" all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, which taken together is the state of the oneness of God and True Man within us, only in this state of "oneness with" can we truly help anyone [see the book by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani", Chapter 31, "The Twenty Eight Arabic Alphabets In Man's Body", page 112 to 115, for more on this matter, or click HERE to go to the Table of Contents for that book.  Once there, click on
Chapter 31].

Then as "one with" all life, rather than "separate from" all lives, we can help all lives.

His Holiness Teaches Us, "There Are No Good People, Only God Is Good"
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
Our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), summarizes this beautifully when He teaches us that "There are no good people, only God is good".
 
The Nature of Goodness Is The Nature of God, Not of Us "Separate From" God
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
In this way, our Father teaches us that goodness, as well as justice is an aspect of God, not an aspect of a man or of a woman living a life separate from God, separate from other men and women, and separate from the creations of God, only seeing God, other people, and the creations of God as existing "outside" of us. 

In this way, only God, only one in the state of God, the state of "oneness with", is free of fault or blame.  Only God is good, only God acts with true justice, because only God is one with everyone and everything, only God is not separate from anyone or anything, only God sees everyone and everything as Himself, as what is within Him, as His own life within Him, as His own life happening within Him, as the story of God within Him.

In this way, only God views everything as within Him, as what defines Him, as what was originally within Him, and as what dawned within Him as the Power of God when He asks the question "Who am I?" in anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding within Him, as what separated from Him when He meditated upon that Power of God within Him, as what separated from Him as His Light and His darkness, with the Light of Him becoming God within Him, becoming what is One with Him within Him, and the darkness of Him becoming the Creation of God within Him, becoming what is separate from Him within Him, what is separate from God within Him.

Thereby allowing Him to begin answering His question in aathi, in the time of Light and understanding within Him, to begin answering the question, "Who am I?", to begin answering His question using the Light within the Light within Him, using the consciousness within the Power of God that dawned within Him, within the Light of God that emerged from within Him, using the sixth level of wisdom within Him, using His Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom that explains within Him, the wisdom or consciousness of the Power of God known as the Qutbiyyat of God within Him, within the Light of God known as The Nur of God within Him, by appling this Divine Analytic Wisdom of God to the contrast that came out of Him, to the contrast of the Light and the darkness of Him, to the contrast of what is One with Him, of what is One with God within Him, and of what is not One with Him, of what is not One with God within Him, of what is separate from Him, separate from God within Him, allowing Him through this wisdom that explains, through this Divine Analytic Wisdom, applied to this contrast, to begin through this contrast to know Himself, to know Himself as anathi and aathi,
as hell and heaven, and as the lives that He gave form to within hell and heaven.

And to know Himself even further, in the time of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, in the time of creation, in this world, and in the hereafter, as good and evil, and as all of His qualities.

Thereby allowing Him, allowing Him to further investigate Himself, to further investigate God within Himself, not just through the sixth level of wisdom within Him applied to the contrasts that form within Him, but by using the Light of God within the Light of God within Him, by using the wisdom of God within the wisdom of God within Him, to further investigate God within Him, to investigate God within Him by using God within Him, by using His seventh level of wisdom within His sixth level of wisdom, the wisdom that illuminates God within God within Him, the Divine Luminous Wisdom within Him, the wisdom or consciousness of the Nur of God within Him, to understand Himself, allowing Him through Divine Luminous Wisdom, applied to the Light of God that emerged from within Him, to begin to understand Himself. 

Such is the goodness and justice of God within us, my dearest loving sister Aziza.  Such is our birthright, our heritage, God knowing and understanding God within us, God asking and answering His own question within us, God's question of "Who
am I?". 

This is what we must join with within us, so God can come to know and understand Himself within us, as we disappear within Him within us, as the Triple Flame of God within us, as God, The Shaikh, and The Disciple becoming One within us, as the Three becoming One within us.  This must be our focus, not anything that we see as happening in the world around us, not anything that we see as existing "outside" of us. 

We must realize without the slightest doubt that all of our "outside" stuff is not really our stuff, is not really our true stuff, but is a distraction from our true stuff, is but a distraction from what we have come here in truth to do, which is to join with God in what He started, is doing, and wants to finish within us, which is to reveal God within God within us.

We must realize that all of our false "outside" stuff is but a distraction from our true "inside" stuff, which is what God has started within us, which is just waiting to happen within us, which is just waiting for us to awaken and join with within us.  We must realzie that this "outside" stuff of "us" living in the world that we see "outside" of us is certainly not what we have come here to do.  We must think about this a little.

In this way, only when a man or a woman becomes one with God will they be good, will they have true justice in their lives.  Until then we are living a very dangerous life, as "separate from" everything, and we have no real goodness or justice in our life, only selfishness, only the qualities and actions of separation and differences, that stays alive by killing and eating other lives, until it is killed and eaten.

In this way, only when we find and become one with a True Human being living in the world, a True Teacher of God for our age, a True Shiakh for our age, can we bring the Triple Flame of God within us, that God has placed within each of us, to completion within us, becoming the oneness of God and True Man within us, only then will we be good.

And only when through such a Teacher we become one with all men and all women within us, seeing them as the 28 Arabic letters of God within us, as the Children of
Adam (A.S.)
within us, as the 1000 generosities of God within us that bring to completion the 4 religions within us, will we be good. 

And only when through such a Teacher we become one with all of the creations of God within us, in the 18,000 universes within us, seeing all of everyone and everything as being within us, seeing all that is within us as our own life, as what defines us, as God does, making their life our life, making their happiness our happiness, making their suffering our suffering, and making their struggle our struggle, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Rest of Document - back to outline

In this way, only when we see all lives and all struggles as occurring within us, and take on each of these lives and each of these struggles as our life, our struggle, and our duty, as the duty of God within us, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Only when we realize, without the slightest doubt, that this kind of duty is a duty which only God can do, handing each of these lives and each of these struggles, which we now see as only truly happening within us, to God, as His life and as His struggle, not as our life or our struggle, giving the responsibility for each of these lives within us, and for each of these struggles within us to God, becoming patient with God as He takes on each of the lives and struggles within us, becoming content and grateful to God for each of these lives and struggles within us, trusting in God for whatever may happen to each of these lives and struggles within us, praising God for whatever comes to each of these lives and struggles within us, only then, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Only in this way, only with this clarity of wisdom, only by seeing all lives and all struggles as happening in truth within us, as what in truth defines us, and by joining in partnership with God to bring all of these lives within us to completeness within us, by resolving each of their struggles within us, through the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, will any man or women be good, will any man or women act with justice.

And for this age this means joining in partnership with the life and teaching of His Holiness, with our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).

In this way and for this reason, His Holiness teaches us that "everyone but God is crazy", because everyone but God is acting without a true understanding of "who they are", of  "where they are", and of "what is really happening" in their lives, without any true understanding of what is really happening in the world that they see as "outside" of them, as well as what is really happening in the world that they don't see "inside" of them", within the 18,000 universes hidden by God "inside" of them, and what is really happening in the lives of every one who has been born with them.

In this way, His Holiness teaches us that we are all acting in ignorance of "who we are", of "who God is", and of "the true relationship between man and God", and because of this, everyone else, everyone but God, is caught up in their own life of separation and differences, their own life of selfishness, living out their temporary lives within their own mind and desire, seeing it all happening separate from them, seeing it all happening as "outside" of them, trying to justify their selfishness, their separation and differences, through the very thing that grows, nourishes, and maintains their selfishness, their separation, and their differences. 

And what is that?  What grows, nourishes, and maintains our selfishness, our separation and differences? 

His Holiness teaches us that it is our very own life that separates us from God, that separates us from each other, and that separates us from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.  It is our very own life that is the enemy, that is the enemy of our soul, not anything that we see as "outside" of us.

This enemy of our true life, of all true life, this enemy of our soul, of all souls, is the life of separation and differences that has grown within us, that has grown over us, that has grown over our true life, over the life of our soul, in our ignorance of ourselves, in our ignorance of our soul and of the Father of our soul, the life of selfishness, of separation and differences,  that we have become one with, the life through which we now live in the illusory world that we see as existing "outside" of us. 

This life of separation and differences, this life of selfishness, this life of darkness, is what has grown within us, and is what now defines "us" as living in the world, and is what now defines the "world" as what we are living within, and we see all of this, both "us" and the "world" that we live in, as "outside" of us, though in truth, all of it, both "us" and the "world" we live in, is really "inside" of us.

And the end result of this process, which started when we took up residence in the womb, accelerated when we came out of the womb, took hold of us firmly at the age of 3 or 4, and became one with us at puberty, is what we are now experiencing as "who we are", as "where we are", and as "what's happening". 

The end result of this process is that "we" are now this body that "we" see, this body that moves when we move, that talks when we talk, that is happy when we feel happy, when we feed it, protect it, look after it, and give it what it wants, and that is sad when we feel sad, when it is abused or threatened in any way, or when it can't have something it wants, or when something it likes or wants is threatened or leaves it.

In this way, in our ignorance of ourselves, and of our Creator, we have become this illusory body living in this illusory world, we have become the body that we now see reflected back to us in the illusory mirror of our mind and desire, we have become this body living in the world that we see as "outside" of us. 

Such is the life, the body, and the world that now defines us, that now tells us, with each look, sound, smell, taste, and touch, "who we are", "where we are", and "what's happening". 

But it is all false.  It is all a lie.  It is what in truth separates us from God, what separates us from the life of God within us, which is life of our soul, the life of Jesus (A.S.) or the Purity of God within us, the life of God which dwells within our wisdom, within the "consciousness of oneness" within us, which is the Divine Analytic Wisdom of God within us, which God has placed within us, surrounding our soul.

It is in truth what separates us from our true brothers and sisters who have been born with us, in the world of souls, in this world of earth or dunya, and in the next world of light or akhirah, our true brothers and sisters, who are seen by us in the world of souls as intersecting rays of Light, as the rays of light that intersect our ray of light, as the souls that intersect our soul.

Our true brothers and sisters, who are seen by us in this world, when our wisdom dawns, when our wisdom closes down the world of hell within us, closing the island of hell in the dunya that we now see as the world, and when our wisdom also closes down the world of fairies and jinns within us, the worlds of pleasure and suffering within us, allowing us to see our true brothers and sisters as the 1000 generosities of God within us, as the 1000 multiplicities of the 28 letters that form the body of man.

As the 1000 generosities of God within us that bring the 4 religions to completion within us, that bring the 4 sections of our body to completion within us - the section of creation, the section of death, the section of awakening, the section of light within us.

With 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of Hinduism within us, to the section of creation within us, to the section below our stomach, returning the 4 elements within us to the state of the Kalimah within us, the state of "La ilaha, Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasulullah - there is nothing other than God, You are Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God".

With another 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of fire within us, to the section of death and destruction within us, the section of the stomach within us, allowing Abraham (A.S.) to dawn within us, allowing the fourth level of wisdom, of judgment or estimate, to dawn within us, and through this wisdom, allowing us to become peaceful within our pit of fire, placing our trust in God and in God alone, and through this fire, through our ability to be peace in the face of our own destruction, in the face of our own death, to bring our faith to maturity within us, awakening the state of iman or Perfect Faith within us, which is Muhammad (Sal.) within us at the level of
Abraham (A.S.)
within us, giving birth to the fifth level of wisdom within us, which is subtle wisdom within us, the wisdom and state of Ishmael (A.S.) within us.

With another 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of Christianity within us, to the religion of air and of the elemental spirits within us, to the section of the chest, the section of the lungs and of the heart within us, allowing the subtle wisdom of Ishmael (A.S.), the fifth level of wisdom within us, to come to maturity within us, as the qurban or sacrifice of our very own heart.

Allowing us in the clarity of our wisdom to call out to God for our own destruction, for our own death, for the death of the life of separation and differences within us, for the death of the life of selfishness that has grown within us, that has grown over our soul within us, that has grown over the life of God within us, in order to reveal God within us, in order to reveal the life of God within us, the life of the Triple Flame of God within us, the life of the soul, of wisdom, and of 'ilm or divine knowledge within us.

In order to reveal our life of oneness with God and God's life of oneness with us within us, in order to reveal the life of selflessness within us, in order to reveal the life of true goodness and justice within us, the life of the qualities and actions of God within us, in order to reveal our true life of oneness with all of our brothers and sisters within us, and our true life of oneness with all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.

Thereby transforming our impure closed heart, our heart of elemental spirits and desires, our heart of the naffs amara, our heart of mind and desire, into the purified open heart of Ahamd, into the beauty of Allah's qualities, which in maturity is reflected in the beauty of our face, or muham, becoming Muhammad (Sal.) within us.

And with the final 100 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of light within us, the section of the heart within us, the religions of Islam and Judaism within us, establish the kingdom of God within us, establish the innermost heart within us as the
Qalb
of Allah, as the Holy Qur'an within us, as the light of God to the world, and the seven diacritical marks giving sound to the Holy Qur'an within us, as the seven levels of wisdom or consciousness within us, giving sound to the life and teaching of God for this age, to the life and teaching of His Holiness as the Resonance of Allah that transforms the dunya into akhirah, for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And in this way, allowing these 1000 generosities within us to become the 125 letters of the Suratal Fatihah within us, allowing the 125 letters of the Suratal Fatihah within us to become the 128 letters of the station of Man-God/God-Man within us, with 100 of these letters being a reflection of God, and 28 of these letters being a reflection of True Man, revealing the station of the oneness of man and God within us, the state of
Allahu Ill Allahu
within us, the prayer of the one to the one who Is, within us, for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, within man and within God and within God and within man.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our failure to do this kind of work, this divine work of a human being, our failure to join with God, by joining with the life and teaching of His Holiness, to bring the 4 elements within us back into the state of the Kalimah within us, back into the state in which God gave them to us, as Adam (A.S.), back into the state they were in as Adam (A.S.) when God placed us as the light of the Nur on the forehead of Adam (A.S.).

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our broken relationship with God, our having come to this earth, our having forgotten God, our having fallen into many a trap, and our not knowing to seek ourselves, although God exists within us, this is our problem, not what we think that we see around us, not the state of the things that are happening in the world around us, as existing "outside" of us. 

This is our problem, how to get the 4 elements within us back into the state of the remembrance of God with every breath, with every look, with every thought and intention, and out of the state where they are all living separate from one another, out of the state of arrogance, karma, and illusion, that we are now experience as "who we are", as "where we are", and as "what's happening".

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our duality with God, and with everything that God is one with, not the drama of life that "we" see acted out in the world "outside" of us.

This is our problem, our world, our body, our self, and everything that is "I".  This is our problem, because the world that we see that seems to be "our world", isn't the world, but a dream, and the body that we see that seems to be "our body", isn't our body, but the 12 openings, the 12 signs of the Zodiac, the 9 planets, the 12 signs of the elemental animals living within us, and as such is false, and in this way, this body that we see with, this body that we see and experience everything through, is our false body.

And this self that seems to be "us", this selfish self, this self centered life, is really made up of 6 separate consciousness giving the illusion of one, as they continuously battle within our heart, two by two, and this focus of our universes that is "I", that seems to be "our life", the life that we seem to be connected as one with it, is in truth not "who we are", but the opposite of "who we are", is in truth the opposite of the Light of God, the opposite of the True Reflection of God which as True man, is in truth but reflection of darkness, is but a reflection of the planet Saturn that came to life in the womb as the embilicus, that was closed off to the world at birth, but remains the dominate force of darkness and shadows in our life.  This is our problem.

This is our problem, my loving sister Aziza, and this world that we see "outside" of us, is not where we are, and this drama of life, of "us" living in the "world" that we see "outside" of us, that appears to be happening all around us, is not what is happening.  It is all false.  It is all a lie.  It is all deceiving us.  And it will only take us to hell, to a life of separation and differences, to a life of selfishness, for eternity. 

And in truth, if before our illusory death we don't find out how to end it, then our illusory life in the illusory world will continue to happen forever, for eternity, both in this world and in the next world, both in the dunya and in akhirah, within ourselves.  For in truth, none of our illusory existence is ever happening "outside" of us, and it will never happen outside of us, either in this world or the next, either in the dunya or in akhirah, because all of it is within us, all of it will always be within us, whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we realize it or not. 

Because that is "what we are".  Because in truth, we are what "all of everything" has been placed within by God.  As the handful of earth created by God, we are both the palace of the soul, which is heaven, and the palace of the illusory world, or hell, we are what has everything of God within it, and everything of everything is of God, because there is nothing other than God.  We have within us all that is within God, all that is of God, and we have within us all that is separate from God, all that God has discarded. 

We have it all, and it is our choice, not God's choice, what we do with it, because God has already made His choice, God has chosen all that is of God, by discarding what is separate from God, which is everything that separates us from God, which is everything that separates us from each other, and from the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.

Because that is "who we are".  Because in truth, we are what can differentiate all of it, all that God has placed within us, all that God has placed within this handful of earth known as Adam (A.S.), we are what can differentiate this handful of earth into the 7 heavens and the 7 hells. 

As Adam (A.S.) we have been given the ability by God, given the wisdom by God, to do this, as divine analytic wisdom, as the sixth level of wisdom, as the Qutbiyyat of God, the Power of God, as Qutb, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, we have been given the ability to do this, and this is "what is happening", this is the only thing, the only real thing that is happening, within us, or within anyone or anything, not the drama of separation and differences that "we" see as happening in the illusory world "outside" of us.

And as the Nur Muhammad, the light of wisdom, as the seventh level of wisdom, as the divine luminous wisdom that God placed in the forehead of Adam (A.S.), we have been given the ability by God, given the wisdom by God, as the nine gems of
Muhammad (Sal.),
to bring the 7 heavens within us to maturity as the 8th heaven, as
Firdaus
, as the Qalb or innermost heart of man, as the Kingdom of God, as the station of prayer, as the Holy Qur'an.

To do all this as the seven diacritical marks, as the seven levels of wisdom, that give sound to the Holy Qur'an, that give sound to the teaching of God for this age, to give sound to the 6,666 verses of the Holy Qur'an, which are all of the teaching of God sent to mankind over the last 200 million years by the 124,000 prophets of God.

To do all this as the consciousness and teaching of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, within man and within God and within God and within man, allowing True Man to reveal God within True Man, allowing God to reveal True Man within God.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And if we don't do this, if we don't use what God has placed within us to do this, then our life stays as it came, as the undifferentiated handful of earth, as Adam (A.S.)
having been overwhelmed by the spit of satan and his fall from grace, as the Eye of Wisdom having remained closed, as the life of darkness, as the shadow, as the undifferentiated life, as the life of ignorance, the life of separation and differences living in the illusory world that we see as "outside" of us, as the life that lacks any of understanding of God, as the life that has become separated from God.

For as His Holiness teaches us, "At the end all that is left is God and what has separated from God, and what separates from God is what says, 'I am separate from God.'"  And we constantly affirm this, our separation from God, by living separate from God, with each look, with each breath, with each sound, smell, taste, and touch, that we experience, and with each thought and intention.

In this way, it is we ourselves that separate ourselves from God, not God.  God is always trying to pull us back into Himself, with everything that He places in front of us, with our every breath, our every look, our every sound, smell, taste, and touch.  That is the only work that God does, because God truly is goodness, God truly is truth, God truly is justice.

It is we who maintain our separation from God, and from the things of God, not God. It is we who maintain our separation from our brothers and sisters, not God.  It is we who maintain our separation from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, not God.  And in this way, we have become evil, we have become falsehood, we have become injustice.

It is we who try to stake out a place for "us" as separate from God, as separate from our brothers and sisters, as separate from all of the creations of God within us, not God.

It is we who try to define ourselves, not in terms of God, not in terms of the things of God, not in terms of the life and teaching of His Holiness, but instead in terms of our family, our friends, our Fellowship, our Guru, our Shaikh, our understanding. 

It is we who try to define ourselves, and define what is good and evil, what is justice and injustice, not in terms of God and the things of God, but in terms of our religion, our spiritual scripture, our Holy Qur'an, our Prophet of God, our spiritual teacher, our books, our understanding and learning, and even our video and audio tapes of wisdom, as well as our meetings, and our celebrations.

And in this way, our life stays the life of God in anathi, which is God in the time of darkness, which is God in ignorance of Himself within us, never truly allowing God within us to ask the question that starts the journey of the soul within us, the question, "Who am I?", allowing the dawning of Abraham (A.S.) in the pit of fire within us, the dawning of Perfect Faith of god or Iman within us, and of the Purified Heart of God or Ahamd within us, which is the birth and sacrifice of Ishmael (A.S.) within us, allowing our heart to come to the state of qurban or sacrifice within us, the state where Ishmael (A.S.) within us, when his father Abraham (A.S.) waivers within us, calls for his own destruction, calls for his own sacrifice, calls for the sacrifice of his heart of impurity, to reveal the open purified heart of God within us, the state of the fourth and fifth levels of wisdom within us, the state of estimate or judgment, and subtle wisdom.

And in this way, never truly allowing the power of God to dawn and resonate within us, which is the joining of the open heart of His Holiness with our heart, never truly allowing God to meditate upon the power of God within us, never truly allowing the light of God, the life of God within us, to come to maturity within us, to emerge from within us as the Nur of God, as the Light of Wisdom, never truly allowing the manifestation of the life of God within us, which is the time of Athi within us, the time of the Light of Creation within us, the Light of Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, from which everything else of God within us manifests, never truly allowing the Nur Muhammad within us to come to maturity and within that maturity reveal Allah Muhammad within us, never truly allowing, as His Holiness teaches us at the very bottom of page 31, in the book, "A Mystical Journey", never allowing "The Alif to become the pillar of the
sukun
of the mim".
                              
My dearest loving sister Aziza, we must all realize without the slightest doubt, that if we don't do this, if we don't join in partnership with God in this age, which is joining in partnership with the life of teaching of His Holiness, to allow God to finish what He has started within each one of us, to allow God to reveal God within God, by revealing God within True Man, by revealing True Man within man, by revealing man within the creations of God within us, for the benefit of all of the creations in the 18,000 universes within us, if we don't do this with our life,  then all that we will ever experience of what God has given us, is the life of mind and desire that we are all currently experience as our life of separation and differences in the illusory world that we see as "outside" of us.

And this will have been our choice.  This will have been the choice that we all have made.  And there is only one choice.  Either we chose God, and for this age that is choosing the life and teaching of His Holiness, or we chose hell, we choose anything other than the life and teaching of His Holiness.  It is just that simple.

For has His Holiness told us in the "Room" one day, "At the end of time, which is now, which is the end of the Kali Yuga (the age of destruction), God would send one (which is His Holiness) who would explain again everything that had come before from God, but this time without any veils.  And everyone would hear it, and everyone would understand it.  And all that is left is do they want it."

My dearest loving sister Aziza, it is just this simple.  To accept the life and teaching of His Holiness is to accept the life and teach of God for this age, and your salvation is guaranteed, your life will move forward, you soul will progress on its journey of your life and become one with God.  But to reject or to doubt in any way, the life and teaching of His Holiness, is to reject God, is to doubt God in some way, and salvation is then not available to you. 

This may sound harsh, and It is.  But you can't have a little bit of God, because God is indivisible.  Either you become one with God, and your life of separation ends, the false live that has grown over your soul is destroyed, or you become one with what God has discarded, and your life of oneness end, you become one with what God has discarded, and your soul returns to God, returns to the oneness of God, from which it came, resulting in the loss of our soul, and a life of damnation.  There is no middle ground.

My dearest loving sister Aziza, may we both reflect on these beautiful wisdom points, and realize that this is what His Holiness has been teaching us since He came to America in 1971, this is what His Holiness has been laying the ground work for since He came to Ceylon or Sri Lanka in 1886, 115 years age.

This is what we must accept without the slightest doubt.  We must accept and join with God, to allow God to finish what He started within us, what in truth He started within Himself, which is Himself, not us, which is to reveal Himself within Himself, not us, to reveal Himself within Himself for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, within man and within God and within God and within man.  There is no other way. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And to do this, in this age, we must accept and join with the life and teaching of His Holiness, because to do this, is to accept and join with God, is to accept and join with the life and teaching of God for this age.  There is no other way.

Opening Prayer - back to outline

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. Al-hamdu lillah. In sha 'allah, ma sha 'allah. Tawakkal-Allah. Allahumma labbaik.

In the name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone. If God so wills, whatever God wills. I place my trust in God, and in God alone, and am obedient to His will, and to His will alone.

May all responsibility be given to Allah, the One who is limitless grace, and incomparable love, the One who gives us His blessings.

When Trying To Help Other, We Must Be Very Careful, And Call On God
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
My dearest loving sisters Aziza, thank you for your letter.  My love both you and Elliott and your two sons very, very much.  All of you are always in my heart, my love, and my prayers.

We must always try to do all that we can to move both ourselves and our brothers and sisters closer to God.  But we must be very careful when we try to do this kind of work, because it can have the opposite effect from what we are trying to accomplish.  It is a very subtle thing living in this world of illusion, this world of separation and differences that God has given to us, that God has placed before each of us.

We Are All Equally To Blame For Everything That Happens In The World
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
The clarity of this child tells me that all of us are equally to blame for what we see happening in the world, because all of us lack justice in our lives, all of us lack justice in our thoughts, our intentions, our qualities, and in our actions, not just our brothers and sisters in Israel or in Palestine, or in Afghanistan, or in any other parts of the world.  None of us is free of blame.  We are all equally at fault.  No one is free of fault but God.

We Must Be Very Careful About Helping Others "Separate From" Them
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
We must realize, understand, accept, and join with the truth of our lives, and come to understand the current state of our lives, we must come to realize that we are still in the state of "separation from", and our goal is to move out of that state and into the state of "oneness with", which is the state of God within us, of His Holiness within us, and of all of the things of God and True Man within us, the state of the Triple Flame within us - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - which is everything within the Qutb within us, within Muhaiyaddeen 'Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, which is God, goodness, and the soul within us, which is the Tree of
Muhammadar Rasulullah
within us, with the taproot of La ilaha Ill Allahu, the affirmation of the Truth of God, with the trunk of Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God, with the branches of the 124,000 Prophets of God within us, and with the fruits of God for this age, which are the 6,666 verses of the Holy Qur'an within us, and the 28 letters of the living Holy Qur'an within us, which are the parts of the human body.

And as long as we are in the state of "separation from" we cannot really help anyone.  Only when we move out of this state and become "one with" God within us, which is one with the Triple Flame of God within us - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen
or
- God, The Shaikh, and The Disciple -  "one with" all of our brothers and sister within us, who in truth are "the 28 Arabic letters that have been born as Adam (A.S.)'s Children" within us, the "multiplicity of which make the human form" as the 1000 generosities of God within us, and "one with" all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, which taken together is the state of the oneness of God and True Man within us, only in this state of "oneness with" can we truly help anyone [see the book by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani", Chapter 31, "The Twenty Eight Arabic Alphabets In Man's Body", page 112 to 115, for more on this matter, or click HERE to go to the Table of Contents for that book.  Once there, click on
Chapter 31].

Then as "one with" all life, rather than "separate from" all lives, we can help all lives.

His Holiness Teaches Us, "There Are No Good People, Only God Is Good"
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
Our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), summarizes this beautifully when He teaches us that "There are no good people, only God is good".
 
The Nature of Goodness Is The Nature of God, Not of Us "Separate From" God
                                                                                                                                  - back to outline
In this way, our Father teaches us that goodness, as well as justice is an aspect of God, not an aspect of a man or of a woman living a life separate from God, separate from other men and women, and separate from the creations of God, only seeing God, other people, and the creations of God as existing "outside" of us. 

In this way, only God, only one in the state of God, the state of "oneness with", is free of fault or blame.  Only God is good, only God acts with true justice, because only God is one with everyone and everything, only God is not separate from anyone or anything, only God sees everyone and everything as Himself, as what is within Him, as His own life within Him, as His own life happening within Him, as the story of God within Him.

In this way, only God views everything as within Him, as what defines Him, as what was originally within Him, and as what dawned within Him as the Power of God when He asks the question "Who am I?" in anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding within Him, as what separated from Him when He meditated upon that Power of God within Him, as what separated from Him as His Light and His darkness, with the Light of Him becoming God within Him, becoming what is One with Him within Him, and the darkness of Him becoming the Creation of God within Him, becoming what is separate from Him within Him, what is separate from God within Him.

Thereby allowing Him to begin answering His question in aathi, in the time of Light and understanding within Him, to begin answering the question, "Who am I?", to begin answering His question using the Light within the Light within Him, using the consciousness within the Power of God that dawned within Him, within the Light of God that emerged from within Him, using the sixth level of wisdom within Him, using His Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom that explains within Him, the wisdom or consciousness of the Power of God known as the Qutbiyyat of God within Him, within the Light of God known as The Nur of God within Him, by appling this Divine Analytic Wisdom of God to the contrast that came out of Him, to the contrast of the Light and the darkness of Him, to the contrast of what is One with Him, of what is One with God within Him, and of what is not One with Him, of what is not One with God within Him, of what is separate from Him, separate from God within Him, allowing Him through this wisdom that explains, through this Divine Analytic Wisdom, applied to this contrast, to begin through this contrast to know Himself, to know Himself as anathi and aathi,
as hell and heaven, and as the lives that He gave form to within hell and heaven.

And to know Himself even further, in the time of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, in the time of creation, in this world, and in the hereafter, as good and evil, and as all of His qualities.

Thereby allowing Him, allowing Him to further investigate Himself, to further investigate God within Himself, not just through the sixth level of wisdom within Him applied to the contrasts that form within Him, but by using the Light of God within the Light of God within Him, by using the wisdom of God within the wisdom of God within Him, to further investigate God within Him, to investigate God within Him by using God within Him, by using His seventh level of wisdom within His sixth level of wisdom, the wisdom that illuminates God within God within Him, the Divine Luminous Wisdom within Him, the wisdom or consciousness of the Nur of God within Him, to understand Himself, allowing Him through Divine Luminous Wisdom, applied to the Light of God that emerged from within Him, to begin to understand Himself. 

Such is the goodness and justice of God within us, my dearest loving sister Aziza.  Such is our birthright, our heritage, God knowing and understanding God within us, God asking and answering His own question within us, God's question of "Who
am I?". 

This is what we must join with within us, so God can come to know and understand Himself within us, as we disappear within Him within us, as the Triple Flame of God within us, as God, The Shaikh, and The Disciple becoming One within us, as the Three becoming One within us.  This must be our focus, not anything that we see as happening in the world around us, not anything that we see as existing "outside" of us. 

We must realize without the slightest doubt that all of our "outside" stuff is not really our stuff, is not really our true stuff, but is a distraction from our true stuff, is but a distraction from what we have come here in truth to do, which is to join with God in what He started, is doing, and wants to finish within us, which is to reveal God within God within us.

We must realize that all of our false "outside" stuff is but a distraction from our true "inside" stuff, which is what God has started within us, which is just waiting to happen within us, which is just waiting for us to awaken and join with within us.  We must realzie that this "outside" stuff of "us" living in the world that we see "outside" of us is certainly not what we have come here to do.  We must think about this a little.

In this way, only when a man or a woman becomes one with God will they be good, will they have true justice in their lives.  Until then we are living a very dangerous life, as "separate from" everything, and we have no real goodness or justice in our life, only selfishness, only the qualities and actions of separation and differences, that stays alive by killing and eating other lives, until it is killed and eaten.

In this way, only when we find and become one with a True Human being living in the world, a True Teacher of God for our age, a True Shiakh for our age, can we bring the Triple Flame of God within us, that God has placed within each of us, to completion within us, becoming the oneness of God and True Man within us, only then will we be good.

And only when through such a Teacher we become one with all men and all women within us, seeing them as the 28 Arabic letters of God within us, as the Children of
Adam (A.S.)
within us, as the 1000 generosities of God within us that bring to completion the 4 religions within us, will we be good. 

And only when through such a Teacher we become one with all of the creations of God within us, in the 18,000 universes within us, seeing all of everyone and everything as being within us, seeing all that is within us as our own life, as what defines us, as God does, making their life our life, making their happiness our happiness, making their suffering our suffering, and making their struggle our struggle, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Rest of Document - back to outline

In this way, only when we see all lives and all struggles as occurring within us, and take on each of these lives and each of these struggles as our life, our struggle, and our duty, as the duty of God within us, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Only when we realize, without the slightest doubt, that this kind of duty is a duty which only God can do, handing each of these lives and each of these struggles, which we now see as only truly happening within us, to God, as His life and as His struggle, not as our life or our struggle, giving the responsibility for each of these lives within us, and for each of these struggles within us to God, becoming patient with God as He takes on each of the lives and struggles within us, becoming content and grateful to God for each of these lives and struggles within us, trusting in God for whatever may happen to each of these lives and struggles within us, praising God for whatever comes to each of these lives and struggles within us, only then, only then will we be good, only then will we act with justice.

Only in this way, only with this clarity of wisdom, only by seeing all lives and all struggles as happening in truth within us, as what in truth defines us, and by joining in partnership with God to bring all of these lives within us to completeness within us, by resolving each of their struggles within us, through the grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, will any man or women be good, will any man or women act with justice.

And for this age this means joining in partnership with the life and teaching of His Holiness, with our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).

In this way and for this reason, His Holiness teaches us that "everyone but God is crazy", because everyone but God is acting without a true understanding of "who they are", of  "where they are", and of "what is really happening" in their lives, without any true understanding of what is really happening in the world that they see as "outside" of them, as well as what is really happening in the world that they don't see "inside" of them", within the 18,000 universes hidden by God "inside" of them, and what is really happening in the lives of every one who has been born with them.

In this way, His Holiness teaches us that we are all acting in ignorance of "who we are", of "who God is", and of "the true relationship between man and God", and because of this, everyone else, everyone but God, is caught up in their own life of separation and differences, their own life of selfishness, living out their temporary lives within their own mind and desire, seeing it all happening separate from them, seeing it all happening as "outside" of them, trying to justify their selfishness, their separation and differences, through the very thing that grows, nourishes, and maintains their selfishness, their separation, and their differences. 

And what is that?  What grows, nourishes, and maintains our selfishness, our separation and differences? 

His Holiness teaches us that it is our very own life that separates us from God, that separates us from each other, and that separates us from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.  It is our very own life that is the enemy, that is the enemy of our soul, not anything that we see as "outside" of us.

This enemy of our true life, of all true life, this enemy of our soul, of all souls, is the life of separation and differences that has grown within us, that has grown over us, that has grown over our true life, over the life of our soul, in our ignorance of ourselves, in our ignorance of our soul and of the Father of our soul, the life of selfishness, of separation and differences,  that we have become one with, the life through which we now live in the illusory world that we see as existing "outside" of us. 

This life of separation and differences, this life of selfishness, this life of darkness, is what has grown within us, and is what now defines "us" as living in the world, and is what now defines the "world" as what we are living within, and we see all of this, both "us" and the "world" that we live in, as "outside" of us, though in truth, all of it, both "us" and the "world" we live in, is really "inside" of us.

And the end result of this process, which started when we took up residence in the womb, accelerated when we came out of the womb, took hold of us firmly at the age of 3 or 4, and became one with us at puberty, is what we are now experiencing as "who we are", as "where we are", and as "what's happening". 

The end result of this process is that "we" are now this body that "we" see, this body that moves when we move, that talks when we talk, that is happy when we feel happy, when we feed it, protect it, look after it, and give it what it wants, and that is sad when we feel sad, when it is abused or threatened in any way, or when it can't have something it wants, or when something it likes or wants is threatened or leaves it.

In this way, in our ignorance of ourselves, and of our Creator, we have become this illusory body living in this illusory world, we have become the body that we now see reflected back to us in the illusory mirror of our mind and desire, we have become this body living in the world that we see as "outside" of us. 

Such is the life, the body, and the world that now defines us, that now tells us, with each look, sound, smell, taste, and touch, "who we are", "where we are", and "what's happening". 

But it is all false.  It is all a lie.  It is what in truth separates us from God, what separates us from the life of God within us, which is life of our soul, the life of Jesus (A.S.) or the Purity of God within us, the life of God which dwells within our wisdom, within the "consciousness of oneness" within us, which is the Divine Analytic Wisdom of God within us, which God has placed within us, surrounding our soul.

It is in truth what separates us from our true brothers and sisters who have been born with us, in the world of souls, in this world of earth or dunya, and in the next world of light or akhirah, our true brothers and sisters, who are seen by us in the world of souls as intersecting rays of Light, as the rays of light that intersect our ray of light, as the souls that intersect our soul.

Our true brothers and sisters, who are seen by us in this world, when our wisdom dawns, when our wisdom closes down the world of hell within us, closing the island of hell in the dunya that we now see as the world, and when our wisdom also closes down the world of fairies and jinns within us, the worlds of pleasure and suffering within us, allowing us to see our true brothers and sisters as the 1000 generosities of God within us, as the 1000 multiplicities of the 28 letters that form the body of man.

As the 1000 generosities of God within us that bring the 4 religions to completion within us, that bring the 4 sections of our body to completion within us - the section of creation, the section of death, the section of awakening, the section of light within us.

With 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of Hinduism within us, to the section of creation within us, to the section below our stomach, returning the 4 elements within us to the state of the Kalimah within us, the state of "La ilaha, Ill Allahu, Muhammadar Rasulullah - there is nothing other than God, You are Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God".

With another 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of fire within us, to the section of death and destruction within us, the section of the stomach within us, allowing Abraham (A.S.) to dawn within us, allowing the fourth level of wisdom, of judgment or estimate, to dawn within us, and through this wisdom, allowing us to become peaceful within our pit of fire, placing our trust in God and in God alone, and through this fire, through our ability to be peace in the face of our own destruction, in the face of our own death, to bring our faith to maturity within us, awakening the state of iman or Perfect Faith within us, which is Muhammad (Sal.) within us at the level of
Abraham (A.S.)
within us, giving birth to the fifth level of wisdom within us, which is subtle wisdom within us, the wisdom and state of Ishmael (A.S.) within us.

With another 300 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of Christianity within us, to the religion of air and of the elemental spirits within us, to the section of the chest, the section of the lungs and of the heart within us, allowing the subtle wisdom of Ishmael (A.S.), the fifth level of wisdom within us, to come to maturity within us, as the qurban or sacrifice of our very own heart.

Allowing us in the clarity of our wisdom to call out to God for our own destruction, for our own death, for the death of the life of separation and differences within us, for the death of the life of selfishness that has grown within us, that has grown over our soul within us, that has grown over the life of God within us, in order to reveal God within us, in order to reveal the life of God within us, the life of the Triple Flame of God within us, the life of the soul, of wisdom, and of 'ilm or divine knowledge within us.

In order to reveal our life of oneness with God and God's life of oneness with us within us, in order to reveal the life of selflessness within us, in order to reveal the life of true goodness and justice within us, the life of the qualities and actions of God within us, in order to reveal our true life of oneness with all of our brothers and sisters within us, and our true life of oneness with all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.

Thereby transforming our impure closed heart, our heart of elemental spirits and desires, our heart of the naffs amara, our heart of mind and desire, into the purified open heart of Ahamd, into the beauty of Allah's qualities, which in maturity is reflected in the beauty of our face, or muham, becoming Muhammad (Sal.) within us.

And with the final 100 of these 1000 generosities going to the religion of light within us, the section of the heart within us, the religions of Islam and Judaism within us, establish the kingdom of God within us, establish the innermost heart within us as the
Qalb
of Allah, as the Holy Qur'an within us, as the light of God to the world, and the seven diacritical marks giving sound to the Holy Qur'an within us, as the seven levels of wisdom or consciousness within us, giving sound to the life and teaching of God for this age, to the life and teaching of His Holiness as the Resonance of Allah that transforms the dunya into akhirah, for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And in this way, allowing these 1000 generosities within us to become the 125 letters of the Suratal Fatihah within us, allowing the 125 letters of the Suratal Fatihah within us to become the 128 letters of the station of Man-God/God-Man within us, with 100 of these letters being a reflection of God, and 28 of these letters being a reflection of True Man, revealing the station of the oneness of man and God within us, the state of
Allahu Ill Allahu
within us, the prayer of the one to the one who Is, within us, for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, within man and within God and within God and within man.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our failure to do this kind of work, this divine work of a human being, our failure to join with God, by joining with the life and teaching of His Holiness, to bring the 4 elements within us back into the state of the Kalimah within us, back into the state in which God gave them to us, as Adam (A.S.), back into the state they were in as Adam (A.S.) when God placed us as the light of the Nur on the forehead of Adam (A.S.).

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our broken relationship with God, our having come to this earth, our having forgotten God, our having fallen into many a trap, and our not knowing to seek ourselves, although God exists within us, this is our problem, not what we think that we see around us, not the state of the things that are happening in the world around us, as existing "outside" of us. 

This is our problem, how to get the 4 elements within us back into the state of the remembrance of God with every breath, with every look, with every thought and intention, and out of the state where they are all living separate from one another, out of the state of arrogance, karma, and illusion, that we are now experience as "who we are", as "where we are", and as "what's happening".

This is our problem, my dearest loving sister Aziza, our duality with God, and with everything that God is one with, not the drama of life that "we" see acted out in the world "outside" of us.

This is our problem, our world, our body, our self, and everything that is "I".  This is our problem, because the world that we see that seems to be "our world", isn't the world, but a dream, and the body that we see that seems to be "our body", isn't our body, but the 12 openings, the 12 signs of the Zodiac, the 9 planets, the 12 signs of the elemental animals living within us, and as such is false, and in this way, this body that we see with, this body that we see and experience everything through, is our false body.

And this self that seems to be "us", this selfish self, this self centered life, is really made up of 6 separate consciousness giving the illusion of one, as they continuously battle within our heart, two by two, and this focus of our universes that is "I", that seems to be "our life", the life that we seem to be connected as one with it, is in truth not "who we are", but the opposite of "who we are", is in truth the opposite of the Light of God, the opposite of the True Reflection of God which as True man, is in truth but reflection of darkness, is but a reflection of the planet Saturn that came to life in the womb as the embilicus, that was closed off to the world at birth, but remains the dominate force of darkness and shadows in our life.  This is our problem.

This is our problem, my loving sister Aziza, and this world that we see "outside" of us, is not where we are, and this drama of life, of "us" living in the "world" that we see "outside" of us, that appears to be happening all around us, is not what is happening.  It is all false.  It is all a lie.  It is all deceiving us.  And it will only take us to hell, to a life of separation and differences, to a life of selfishness, for eternity. 

And in truth, if before our illusory death we don't find out how to end it, then our illusory life in the illusory world will continue to happen forever, for eternity, both in this world and in the next world, both in the dunya and in akhirah, within ourselves.  For in truth, none of our illusory existence is ever happening "outside" of us, and it will never happen outside of us, either in this world or the next, either in the dunya or in akhirah, because all of it is within us, all of it will always be within us, whether we like it or not, whether we believe it or not, whether we realize it or not. 

Because that is "what we are".  Because in truth, we are what "all of everything" has been placed within by God.  As the handful of earth created by God, we are both the palace of the soul, which is heaven, and the palace of the illusory world, or hell, we are what has everything of God within it, and everything of everything is of God, because there is nothing other than God.  We have within us all that is within God, all that is of God, and we have within us all that is separate from God, all that God has discarded. 

We have it all, and it is our choice, not God's choice, what we do with it, because God has already made His choice, God has chosen all that is of God, by discarding what is separate from God, which is everything that separates us from God, which is everything that separates us from each other, and from the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us.

Because that is "who we are".  Because in truth, we are what can differentiate all of it, all that God has placed within us, all that God has placed within this handful of earth known as Adam (A.S.), we are what can differentiate this handful of earth into the 7 heavens and the 7 hells. 

As Adam (A.S.) we have been given the ability by God, given the wisdom by God, to do this, as divine analytic wisdom, as the sixth level of wisdom, as the Qutbiyyat of God, the Power of God, as Qutb, Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him, we have been given the ability to do this, and this is "what is happening", this is the only thing, the only real thing that is happening, within us, or within anyone or anything, not the drama of separation and differences that "we" see as happening in the illusory world "outside" of us.

And as the Nur Muhammad, the light of wisdom, as the seventh level of wisdom, as the divine luminous wisdom that God placed in the forehead of Adam (A.S.), we have been given the ability by God, given the wisdom by God, as the nine gems of
Muhammad (Sal.),
to bring the 7 heavens within us to maturity as the 8th heaven, as
Firdaus
, as the Qalb or innermost heart of man, as the Kingdom of God, as the station of prayer, as the Holy Qur'an.

To do all this as the seven diacritical marks, as the seven levels of wisdom, that give sound to the Holy Qur'an, that give sound to the teaching of God for this age, to give sound to the 6,666 verses of the Holy Qur'an, which are all of the teaching of God sent to mankind over the last 200 million years by the 124,000 prophets of God.

To do all this as the consciousness and teaching of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of His Holiness, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, within man and within God and within God and within man, allowing True Man to reveal God within True Man, allowing God to reveal True Man within God.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And if we don't do this, if we don't use what God has placed within us to do this, then our life stays as it came, as the undifferentiated handful of earth, as Adam (A.S.)
having been overwhelmed by the spit of satan and his fall from grace, as the Eye of Wisdom having remained closed, as the life of darkness, as the shadow, as the undifferentiated life, as the life of ignorance, the life of separation and differences living in the illusory world that we see as "outside" of us, as the life that lacks any of understanding of God, as the life that has become separated from God.

For as His Holiness teaches us, "At the end all that is left is God and what has separated from God, and what separates from God is what says, 'I am separate from God.'"  And we constantly affirm this, our separation from God, by living separate from God, with each look, with each breath, with each sound, smell, taste, and touch, that we experience, and with each thought and intention.

In this way, it is we ourselves that separate ourselves from God, not God.  God is always trying to pull us back into Himself, with everything that He places in front of us, with our every breath, our every look, our every sound, smell, taste, and touch.  That is the only work that God does, because God truly is goodness, God truly is truth, God truly is justice.

It is we who maintain our separation from God, and from the things of God, not God. It is we who maintain our separation from our brothers and sisters, not God.  It is we who maintain our separation from all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes within us, not God.  And in this way, we have become evil, we have become falsehood, we have become injustice.

It is we who try to stake out a place for "us" as separate from God, as separate from our brothers and sisters, as separate from all of the creations of God within us, not God.

It is we who try to define ourselves, not in terms of God, not in terms of the things of God, not in terms of the life and teaching of His Holiness, but instead in terms of our family, our friends, our Fellowship, our Guru, our Shaikh, our understanding. 

It is we who try to define ourselves, and define what is good and evil, what is justice and injustice, not in terms of God and the things of God, but in terms of our religion, our spiritual scripture, our Holy Qur'an, our Prophet of God, our spiritual teacher, our books, our understanding and learning, and even our video and audio tapes of wisdom, as well as our meetings, and our celebrations.

And in this way, our life stays the life of God in anathi, which is God in the time of darkness, which is God in ignorance of Himself within us, never truly allowing God within us to ask the question that starts the journey of the soul within us, the question, "Who am I?", allowing the dawning of Abraham (A.S.) in the pit of fire within us, the dawning of Perfect Faith of god or Iman within us, and of the Purified Heart of God or Ahamd within us, which is the birth and sacrifice of Ishmael (A.S.) within us, allowing our heart to come to the state of qurban or sacrifice within us, the state where Ishmael (A.S.) within us, when his father Abraham (A.S.) waivers within us, calls for his own destruction, calls for his own sacrifice, calls for the sacrifice of his heart of impurity, to reveal the open purified heart of God within us, the state of the fourth and fifth levels of wisdom within us, the state of estimate or judgment, and subtle wisdom.

And in this way, never truly allowing the power of God to dawn and resonate within us, which is the joining of the open heart of His Holiness with our heart, never truly allowing God to meditate upon the power of God within us, never truly allowing the light of God, the life of God within us, to come to maturity within us, to emerge from within us as the Nur of God, as the Light of Wisdom, never truly allowing the manifestation of the life of God within us, which is the time of Athi within us, the time of the Light of Creation within us, the Light of Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, from which everything else of God within us manifests, never truly allowing the Nur Muhammad within us to come to maturity and within that maturity reveal Allah Muhammad within us, never truly allowing, as His Holiness teaches us at the very bottom of page 31, in the book, "A Mystical Journey", never allowing "The Alif to become the pillar of the
sukun
of the mim".
                              
My dearest loving sister Aziza, we must all realize without the slightest doubt, that if we don't do this, if we don't join in partnership with God in this age, which is joining in partnership with the life of teaching of His Holiness, to allow God to finish what He has started within each one of us, to allow God to reveal God within God, by revealing God within True Man, by revealing True Man within man, by revealing man within the creations of God within us, for the benefit of all of the creations in the 18,000 universes within us, if we don't do this with our life,  then all that we will ever experience of what God has given us, is the life of mind and desire that we are all currently experience as our life of separation and differences in the illusory world that we see as "outside" of us.

And this will have been our choice.  This will have been the choice that we all have made.  And there is only one choice.  Either we chose God, and for this age that is choosing the life and teaching of His Holiness, or we chose hell, we choose anything other than the life and teaching of His Holiness.  It is just that simple.

For has His Holiness told us in the "Room" one day, "At the end of time, which is now, which is the end of the Kali Yuga (the age of destruction), God would send one (which is His Holiness) who would explain again everything that had come before from God, but this time without any veils.  And everyone would hear it, and everyone would understand it.  And all that is left is do they want it."

My dearest loving sister Aziza, it is just this simple.  To accept the life and teaching of His Holiness is to accept the life and teach of God for this age, and your salvation is guaranteed, your life will move forward, you soul will progress on its journey of your life and become one with God.  But to reject or to doubt in any way, the life and teaching of His Holiness, is to reject God, is to doubt God in some way, and salvation is then not available to you. 

This may sound harsh, and It is.  But you can't have a little bit of God, because God is indivisible.  Either you become one with God, and your life of separation ends, the false live that has grown over your soul is destroyed, or you become one with what God has discarded, and your life of oneness end, you become one with what God has discarded, and your soul returns to God, returns to the oneness of God, from which it came, resulting in the loss of our soul, and a life of damnation.  There is no middle ground.

My dearest loving sister Aziza, may we both reflect on these beautiful wisdom points, and realize that this is what His Holiness has been teaching us since He came to America in 1971, this is what His Holiness has been laying the ground work for since He came to Ceylon or Sri Lanka in 1886, 115 years age.

This is what we must accept without the slightest doubt.  We must accept and join with God, to allow God to finish what He started within us, what in truth He started within Himself, which is Himself, not us, which is to reveal Himself within Himself, not us, to reveal Himself within Himself for the benefit of all of the creations of God in the 18,000 universes, within man and within God and within God and within man.  There is no other way. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar.

And to do this, in this age, we must accept and join with the life and teaching of His Holiness, because to do this, is to accept and join with God, is to accept and join with the life and teaching of God for this age.  There is no other way.
