That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else.

My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 143 (Without An Outline) 1. Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. Thank you for the beautiful letter that you sent to Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", this time "We" will go through it "Point by Point" but first let "Us" explain a few Truths to My Dearest Loving Son that you are not yet clear about. Amen. Ok? Bawa. First, You Must have a Physical Guru in order to make the Transition from a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen to Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, the Transition From living as "a person" living in the world as if you are "separate from", in the "from of the satan", To living Now as the "Presence of God", as the "Word of God made flesh" in your heart, or mind or "room", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while living on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. Bawa. And Second, Only Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) did this, that is, made this Transition, while "We" were living in the world, all the rest of My Children have not yet made this Transition, which in truth includes "you" and Now Everyone living in the world, and all to come, until the End of Time. Bawa. So all of My Children, including "you" must Now use Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now your Physical Guru, that is, as Now "Us" for your life, as Now How you make this Transition from "selfish" to "Selfless", from "separate from" to "One with", from "man-beast" to "Man-God". Bawa. And to do it, to do all of this, or at least to truly Start to, before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over, by falling into Him as Now the "Fire of God" burning in the world, that is, by learning from Him "How Not to Be There, So God Can Be There", that is, by becoming "One with" Him in Everything that you "Say or Do or Write", that is, by Always praising Him to God within you, by Always elevating Him above you to God within you, by Always dedicating your life to Him, that is, by Always building your life around Him, willingly even to die for Him to Protect Him from His enemies. Bawa. That is, with you willingly even to die for Him to Protect Him from His enemies, all of whom will immediately rise up to kill Him, as soon as you Start to treat Him as such, and that is or sure, that is, with you Now treating Him in the same way that the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) treated the Rasul Allah over 1400 years ago, and with the same result, that is, with the "Liberation of the Kabah", but this time within your very own heart, a heart which is Now full of all of the same idols thrown out of the Physical Kabah by the Mighty Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) over 1400 years ago, that is, by God's intervention in the lives of those who lived in that age. Bawa. So it is Now with "The Gift" of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in your age, and for your life, for the life of all of My Children, including "you", that is, if you will only truly accept Him as such, as Now the "Gift of God" Now for your age and for your life, a Gift that will allow God to Now intervene in your age and in your life, in all life, if you like. Bawa. Please know this Now My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children, without the slightest doubt, and Start to act accordingly. That would be good. Bawa. Good for you. Good for all of My Children. Good for "Us". And Good for God. And Good for Everything Now "Within God" within you, which in truth is Now "Who you are", if you like. Bawa. And what "God is Now doing" with Everything "Within God" within you is telling His Story, which in truth is "Your Story" within "God's Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of True Man and God", and within that is "God's Story" within "Your Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", all of which in truth "Are One", So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is nothing still "Separating God" from God.. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, with you Starting to "Let God have His Way" with you, for His Purpose, and in this way, by you Stopping all of your "Let the satan have his way with you", for his purpose, as you and all of My Children have Now been doing since you were the age of 3 years old, all of which is why your life is Now as you are currently experiencing it, that is, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of mind and desire, a life of desire for earth, women, and gold, a life of "Body, Trick, and Danger", a life where Kalam (Time or arrogance, karma, and illusion) is leading you and all of My Children to Kalan (to the Angel of Death [peace be upon Him]), and to the "suffering of the grave", and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment). Amen. Ok? Bawa. At least truly Start to do this with your life, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children, before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over, So God can then do Everything Else necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, that is, So God can then praise You, and elevate You Above Him, as the "Duty that is Greater Than God". Amen. Ok?. It is truly this simple. Bawa. Ok, Now lets Review Your Letter, if you like, Point by Point. Amen. Ok? Bawa. We will do this by reviewing the following copy of your letter and by Adding Comments where appropriate. We will put "Your Letter" in Red, and put "Our Comments" in Black. Ok? Spiritual Letter To Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) From Jalaal ad-Deen Peddle, on July 1, 2008. bismillah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem as-salaam alaykum: I hope everything is right with you. What ever may not be as God has aspired for you, be set right, made firm. You have put many points to me, and us; since you sent this all over on your mailing list [that is, on The Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List (www.SMMailingList. homestead.com)]. Since I e-mailed you a few times before, I suppose you feel it is necessary to make public remarks such as: "In your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, as existing only on the "outside" of you, that is, that you Now see as defining you on the "outside" of you as "separate from", rather than as "One with", which is your correct state", What does that mean? Why don't you just say you feel Insulted, and my remarks were in-appropriate? "satan within you", in the salutation. Beginning of Comments From Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Bawa. The "Correct State" for all of My Children is "One with", including "You", and the "current state" of all of My Children is Now "separate from", including "you", and that applies to all of My Children, including "you", which in truth is Now Everyone living in the world, and Everyone who has Yet To Be Born and Grow Up In The World, until the End of Time, not just to "you", not just to who "you" Now think you are, which in truth is "not who you are". Bawa. Because in truth "You are of the Soul", not of the "shirt for the soul", and you are of the wisdom or consciousness surrounding your soul, not of the consciousness of "the shirt", that is, "You" are of the Consciousness of "Oneness with", the Consciousness that "Lets God Now Be Present" as "One with" all of His Creation, and "Let God Now Speak" to all of His Creation, which in truth is Now all of My Children, including "you". Bawa. The Consciousness that "Lets God Now Be Present" as "One with" all of His Creation, and "Let God Now Speak" to all of His Creation, as Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", as Now the "Master of the Day of Judgment", and offer to all of My Children, including "you", both "Judgment & Salvation", as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) did over 1400 years ago, but Now, before "the grave", So, if you like, there will be no "suffering of the grave", and no Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), after "the grave". Bawa. That is, the consciousness of the Qutb, of the Action of God, the consciousness of the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb which is the 6th level of wisdom, the Wisdom that Explains, or Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom that is Now the "Presence of God", the "Word of God" for your age and for all life, the wisdom or consciousness Now of the "Maliki yawmid-deen", Here and Now, as Now the "Master of the Day of Judgment", if you like. Bawa. And this is what "We" brought into the world for all of My Children, including "you", Not To Start a Fellowship of "Like Minded People" on the illusory "outside" of you, as My Children Now mistakenly believe, but to your peril, but rather to Now be this Consciousness, to Now be the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb of God Now for your age and for all life, to Now be the "Presence of God", the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for all life, to Now be the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to Now be both God's Judgment & God's Salvation for all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Bawa. All of which is Now the "Next State" of all of My Children, just waiting to happen, including "you", if you like, and all of which is Now the "Current State" of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then "within you", if you like, in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, to Start to "Let God Now Have His Way" with you, and to Stop letting the satan "have his way with you", as "you" and each of My Children are Now doing. Bawa. And you and all of My Children Now do this, that is, you Start to "Let God Now Have His Way" with you, and you Stop letting the satan "have his way with you", by you Now Accepting and Starting to Use Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as such, as Now the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb of God, for your age and for all life, as Now the "Presence of God", the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for all life, as Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as Now both God's Judgment & God's Salvation for all of My Children, including "you". Amen. Ok? Bawa. In this way, My dearest loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral. ), the question you asked is just a reflection of your "current state", you personalized what was said as being "all about you", that is, about "you" as "a person", but it is not about "you" as "a person", it is about "all people", that is, about Everyone who is Now living in the world, on the illusory "outside" of yourself, Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, that is, a life of selfishness, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" all other people, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation, within God within you. Bawa. But all of that is "Just Not True", that is, is "Not True" for any of My Children, including "you", and Not True for Everyone living in the world and Everyone who will ever live in the world. Amen. Ok? Bawa. My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), "We" stopped responding to your letter at this point because in truth these Comments by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) have Now truly answered every question that "you" have asked in your letter, and every question that could be asked by "you" and by all of My Children, both Now and until the End of Time, that is, if you have the heart to both hear and accept them as the "Presence of God", as the "Word of God" Now for your age and for your life. It is truly that simple. Only the mind of man makes things complicated, and that is for sure. Bawa. So please reflect on these beautiful Words of God's Grace, Wisdom, and 'Ilm or Divine Knowledge, over and over again, letting yourself fall into them as Now the Truth & Light of God for your age and for all life, and then come sit at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Son, and of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as much as you can, whenever you can. Bawa. That is, in order to let God "Cure Himself of you", that is, in order to let God cure Himself of "you" as "a person", that is, to let God cure Himself of "you" as the "Enemy of the soul", to cure Himself of "you" as what is Now "separating your soul" from God, of "you" as what your soul came here to learn about, by becoming "one with" it, and in this way, giving up its pure birth for your impure birth, and in this way, by giving life to it, by giving life to "you", to "the shirt", with faith and trust that "you would do the same", that is, with faith and truth that when you came to Understand this "Truth of You", that "you" would then "do the same". Bawa. That is, that you would then "do the same", that you would then give up your impure life So your pure life could Again live, that is, that you would give up your "current life" of "separate from", So your pure life, So your "original pure life" of "One with", which is "Your True Life", the "Original Life" of your soul, could Again live a pure life, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Purity", but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So "You" would never loss them again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is why all of My Children, including "you", came here, to let this happen, that is, "To Let Grace Spring Forth, To Let Darkness Vanish, To Let The Love of Guru Grow, And To Let Qualities be Purified" Bawa. This is why you and all of My Children came here, to Become God, not to just talk about God, that is, Not To Start a Fellowship on the illusory "outside" of "you" So you can come together with "Like Minded" people to talk about God, and talk about Goodness, and talk about Fellowship, and talk about the Qualities and Actions of God, but Rather to Become Them, that is, to Become God, and in this way, and only in this way, to Become "Fellowship", to become "Prayers", to become Goodness, to become the Qualities and Actions of God. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what "We", and God within "Us", and your soul, and all of the Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Light of God are just waiting for "You To Do", that is, to Stop working for wages to get into heaven, and Instead, Join In Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this is Now "The Gift" of God for your age and for your life, So you can Do Just That, which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you Bawa. And this is what your soul is trusting in God that you will Now do, Now that you know the "Truth" of your life, that is, that you will let "your current impure life end", So "Your Pure Life Can Again Begin", that is, So you will let your "current life" of impurity as "separate from" End, So what is Truly Next in "Your Life" can Begin, that is, So your "Next Life" of Purity as "One with" can Again Start, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Purity", an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So it will never leave "You Again". Bawa. All of which in truth is "Your" awakened wisdom joined as "One with" "Your" liberated soul, in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, all of which Naturally Happens within "you", and within all of My Children, when "you" truly learn How to sit down, So God within you can Stand Up, that is, by "you" getting "Your" Wisdom to Stands Up, and "Your" Wisdom will Only Stand Up, making "you" or your mind sit down, when "you call it". Bawa. That is, when you call it, when you call Your Wisdom with faith and trust in God, with No Desire, and with No Preferences, Not Wanting Anything, knowing without the slightest doubt, that in truth, "you" as you are "currently living", on the illusory "outside" of you, Do Not Exist, that in truth, all this is just the dreaming of the mind, a dream that Must Now End, if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime, because in truth, within God within you, Only God Exists. Bawa. And you must call it, Call Your Wisdom, not just "think it", as My Children still mistakenly believe, but to your peril, Because "Your Wisdom" is not "you", because "Your Wisdom" is not in "your consciousness", not in "your ego", not in "your self", not in "your love for earth women and gold", not in the "I", not in "your desires", because "Your Wisdom" is "Within God" within you, because "Your Wisdom" is what is "Within God" within you, because "Your Wisdom" is what "God Is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is "Telling His Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", if you like, that is, if "you" will only let Him. Bawa. But God can't "Tell His Story" using "you", that is, using your "heart or mind or room", if all you want to do is "tell your story", God can't "Complete His Intention" using "you", using your "heart or mind or room", if all you want to do is "complete your intentions", So truly "The Choice Is Yours, Not God's". Bawa. That is, the Choice as to who will use "you", that is, who will use your "heart or mind or room", either God or "you", that is, who will use your "heart or mind or room" to "Be Present", and to "Complete Their Intention", and to "Tell Their Story", either God or "you", which in truth is either God or "the satan", because in truth "You Do Not Exist", Only God and "the satan" exist within you. Bawa. That is, in truth Only God and "the satan" exist within you, that is, Only God and "What God has discarded" exist within you, that is, only God and what God discarded from Himself in order to become God within you, exist within you, Not God, "you", and "the satan", as My Children still believe, but to your peril, because in truth the "idea of you", the idea of "you" as "a person" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as if you are "separate from", is "the satan", and that is for sure. Bawa. So in truth, "Who You Are" is either God or "the satan", that is, Either "Who You Are" is God, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, Or "who you are" is "the satan", and what is "within the satan" within you, and what "the satan" is Now doing with what is "within the satan" within you, which is Now what is within "your heart or mind or room", which is revealing "the satan" to "the satan" within you, for the benefit of all of lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within our heart, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance. Bawa. And "That's It! Bawa. And The Choice is yours, not God's. That is, The Choice of "Who You Are", that is, either God or "the satan", and in truth "There is no other Choice", Not God, "you", or "the satan", and Not God, heaven, or hell, as My Children still mistakenly believer, but to your peril. So, Please Choose Wisely My Children. Please Choose God, not "the satan", as My Children have Now mistakenly done, but to your peril. Amen Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral.), with "you", and with all of My Children, Now being given this "Final Choice" for your age and for your life, this "Final Gift" for your age and for your life, that is, the Choice of Either "Judgment & Salvation" Now at the feet of God for your age, before "the grave", Or "Judgment", and hopes of Salvation, after "the grave" Bawa. With "you" and all of My Children Now truly doing this, that is, truly Choosing Wisely, by you Starting to "Let God Have His Way" with you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, through the life and teaching of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Bawa. And in this way, with My Children, including "you", Stopping "the work of the satan" within you, allow God to truly Start Again and Finish what God is Now Doing within you, which is Revealing God to God, within God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? End of The Comments by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - The Rest of the Letter - By My Dearest Loving Son, Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral.) To Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) I suppose I earned that from you. I don't mind. I'm sure that many people will agree that I'm kind of crazy. Whether I am or not is with God, for it is He that has fearfully and mysteriously made me, and also you. I am crazy in the quest for God, and that is His work. Feel free to us me as your whipping post if you like. Really. Any compliment or insult doesn't really bother me personally. I do not make illusions about the various problems I have. You may use anything I send to you as you see fit. The witnesses that record everything & inform Allahu are aware of my intention to be of help, not harm. that is the only opinion I care about. You have always been a friend and a brother, so please accept that as it is. I mean no insult, but I do need clarification. --------- I agree with your points, especially the one where you say that the resonance that comes from God is always steady, unchanging; and it is only our wisdom - or lack of wisdom; that makes us differing. That is a truly profound statement. It was God's pleasure to place me in hells to learn. As David (as) said as he was lamenting to God: "When I look above You are there, when I look below, even in the hells, You are there. There is no place that You are not. such knowledge is too high for me to comprehend." There were many such things that I had to look at from among the hells, and as you pointed out, the separation, laysi fiy il-qurb. I actually knew as well, as David described from his experiences. as he was in hell God was there, as a cause for that. I said the bisman, and then did what was deemed necessary for that time. Each one came then passed. These have life cycles, all that is necessary is to wait with patience, and it will die off naturally. I do not expect anyone else to understand that. Why would I care? God willed some tough things for me, and Bawa came and guided me through them. If I am seen as being misguided, that is true. I have had many such lessons. Some people will see that as faults, but the ones with experience will understand that this is life. Without Bawa inside me, certainly I would be a victim in permanent hell by now. Some laugh at me, a figure of fun, but it is nothing like what is was several years ago. I can't describe to you that, but I will say it was not 'funny'. Certain things about Sufism I understand in a way that others who have not had that kind of difficult lesson can never understand. What it did do for me is give me a sympathy for those who do wrong things. In many, if not all cases, they do not set out to do wrong. By that differing of wisdoms that you spoke of is the key. They feel that what they are doing is right, justice. I would not condescend to think that I know them better than they know themselves. What is justice in Truth, and then the justice that is shown to guide in the various lessons in this world, are quite a different thing. Bawa would say attachments make the path void, then the next day, or even in the vows, he would marry 2 people, knowing full well that they would make a family and experience life, in separation. We should be so graced as to have that perfect Justice, and that is what I ask for you and me, and actually everyone. We are all defined by the lessons God gives, and each one of these has an imperfect justice as a guide. I guess you can call it satan, but that is how we learn His story, this living museum. He has brought us here to learn of that by experience. That is very strong indeed. Like David, it is not enough to read a book. We must receive in our heart the imperfection, and that makes the lesson look needed and right to do. Even the darkest hell has some reason why it is there, and a connection back, a 'correction' as you say. We are a funny family, an orphan family, who have no help except for how Bawa (ra) came and accepted us as his own. In my case this is particularly true, being from Iowa, and having no good recommendation with which to assert that I belong. Perhaps I still have nothing at all to recommend me. Yet, Bawa found me out there, and that is truly a formidable witness that divine pre-ordainment, or qadir, was in Bawa's hands to administer. From what you have described to me, you family and situation was not too different. We all came not on the basis of deserving, but on a basis of mercy, of a selection from before, when the Qutub's foot rest upon us in a prior time. We all have Bawa inside as conscience and the connection to divine inspiration. Thank God that he is showing me some kinder things now than before. I would not want to share those dark times. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. To such extent that you feel connected and intimate with Bawa I accept. When you write Bawa said: "xxyyzz etc" I do not understand that. That puzzles me. It makes it difficult be me to understand what you are trying to say. Are you speaking to yourself? Are you speaking to us? Are you speaking to God? When you pose as Bawa speaking to me, I just don't get it. Nothing you have said so far has explained that to me. I am not trying to be smart, I am seeking the exact nature of your qualifications to take a thought that comes to you, and then present that to me as 'Bawa said', or 'this child' said. Who is 'this child'? I have to be honest. If you are saying one thing, posing as a shaykh, or perhaps as Bawa; and I am hearing something different in my conscience, it is a non-contest. Inner wins every time. That makes a lot of confusion. As that happens, I must listen inside first, then see what I can resolve from your comments. I appreciate your honesty and your commitment, and I am completely convinced that you intend no harm or mischief. I complement you on your efforts. I guess that you feel that this is your duty, to place your messages this way. So I might as well be direct. Do you actually think you are an incarnation of Bawa? Do you actually think that what you are saying is from Bawa directly? Do you actually feel that the thoughts you experience are from Bawa, and for others as instructions? Are you declaring yourself as a shaykh? Again I say to you this: you have much talent and experience. That can stand alone just by itself without needing a prop. For me, it would be much more gracious if I didn't have to sort out what is coming as a journal or an instruction. Oh well, I won't bother you again, at least not for a while. I have given my salaams to you in the form of this message. I put the responsibility of it with God. Perhaps I never will understand what you are trying to do, but I will still seek to enjoy what you have written as a journal. laa ilaaha ill Allahu wahdahu laa shrika lahu, lahu ul-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu, yuhyee wa yumeet bi yadu ul-khayr, wa huwa 'alaa kulli sha'in Qadir, 'audhik min 'an ushrika bika, innaka anta 'aliym al-ghaybi wa ash-shahada, anta jaza'u wa laa ijaza'a illa bima shah, wa ghair daalaleen ummahu. nastaghfirullahu 'azheem. muhubbat wa mawdudat wa mudarrallahu wa mabrukallahu alayk Jalaal ad-Deen Peddle Closing Comments: Bawa.

May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. Thank you for the beautiful letter that you sent to Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", this time "We" will go through it "Point by Point" but first let "Us" explain a few Truths to My Dearest Loving Son that you are not yet clear about. Amen. Ok? Bawa. First, You Must have a Physical Guru in order to make the Transition from a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen to Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, the Transition From living as "a person" living in the world as if you are "separate from", in the "from of the satan", To living Now as the "Presence of God", as the "Word of God made flesh" in your heart, or mind or "room", for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while living on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. Bawa. And Second, Only Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) did this, that is, made this Transition, while "We" were living in the world, all the rest of My Children have not yet made this Transition, which in truth includes "you" and Now Everyone living in the world, and all to come, until the End of Time. Bawa. So all of My Children, including "you" must Now use Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now your Physical Guru, that is, as Now "Us" for your life, as Now How you make this Transition from "selfish" to "Selfless", from "separate from" to "One with", from "man-beast" to "Man-God". Bawa. And to do it, to do all of this, or at least to truly Start to, before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over, by falling into Him as Now the "Fire of God" burning in the world, that is, by learning from Him "How Not to Be There, So God Can Be There", that is, by becoming "One with" Him in Everything that you "Say or Do or Write", that is, by Always praising Him to God within you, by Always elevating Him above you to God within you, by Always dedicating your life to Him, that is, by Always building your life around Him, willingly even to die for Him to Protect Him from His enemies. Bawa. That is, with you willingly even to die for Him to Protect Him from His enemies, all of whom will immediately rise up to kill Him, as soon as you Start to treat Him as such, and that is or sure, that is, with you Now treating Him in the same way that the followers of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) treated the Rasul Allah over 1400 years ago, and with the same result, that is, with the "Liberation of the Kabah", but this time within your very own heart, a heart which is Now full of all of the same idols thrown out of the Physical Kabah by the Mighty Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) over 1400 years ago, that is, by God's intervention in the lives of those who lived in that age. Bawa. So it is Now with "The Gift" of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in your age, and for your life, for the life of all of My Children, including "you", that is, if you will only truly accept Him as such, as Now the "Gift of God" Now for your age and for your life, a Gift that will allow God to Now intervene in your age and in your life, in all life, if you like. Bawa. Please know this Now My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children, without the slightest doubt, and Start to act accordingly. That would be good. Bawa. Good for you. Good for all of My Children. Good for "Us". And Good for God. And Good for Everything Now "Within God" within you, which in truth is Now "Who you are", if you like. Bawa. And what "God is Now doing" with Everything "Within God" within you is telling His Story, which in truth is "Your Story" within "God's Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of True Man and God", and within that is "God's Story" within "Your Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", all of which in truth "Are One", So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is nothing still "Separating God" from God.. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And in this way, with you Starting to "Let God have His Way" with you, for His Purpose, and in this way, by you Stopping all of your "Let the satan have his way with you", for his purpose, as you and all of My Children have Now been doing since you were the age of 3 years old, all of which is why your life is Now as you are currently experiencing it, that is, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of mind and desire, a life of desire for earth, women, and gold, a life of "Body, Trick, and Danger", a life where Kalam (Time or arrogance, karma, and illusion) is leading you and all of My Children to Kalan (to the Angel of Death [peace be upon Him]), and to the "suffering of the grave", and to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment). Amen. Ok? Bawa. At least truly Start to do this with your life, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children, before you die to the flesh, that is, before the illusory "outside" of you is over, So God can then do Everything Else necessary to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, that is, So God can then praise You, and elevate You Above Him, as the "Duty that is Greater Than God". Amen. Ok?. It is truly this simple. Bawa. Ok, Now lets Review Your Letter, if you like, Point by Point. Amen. Ok? Bawa. We will do this by reviewing the following copy of your letter and by Adding Comments where appropriate. We will put "Your Letter" in Red, and put "Our Comments" in Black. Ok? Spiritual Letter To Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) From Jalaal ad-Deen Peddle, on July 1, 2008. bismillah ir-rahmaan ir-raheem as-salaam alaykum: I hope everything is right with you. What ever may not be as God has aspired for you, be set right, made firm. You have put many points to me, and us; since you sent this all over on your mailing list [that is, on The Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List (www.SMMailingList. homestead.com)]. Since I e-mailed you a few times before, I suppose you feel it is necessary to make public remarks such as: "In your ignorance and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, as existing only on the "outside" of you, that is, that you Now see as defining you on the "outside" of you as "separate from", rather than as "One with", which is your correct state", What does that mean? Why don't you just say you feel Insulted, and my remarks were in-appropriate? "satan within you", in the salutation. Beginning of Comments From Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Bawa. The "Correct State" for all of My Children is "One with", including "You", and the "current state" of all of My Children is Now "separate from", including "you", and that applies to all of My Children, including "you", which in truth is Now Everyone living in the world, and Everyone who has Yet To Be Born and Grow Up In The World, until the End of Time, not just to "you", not just to who "you" Now think you are, which in truth is "not who you are". Bawa. Because in truth "You are of the Soul", not of the "shirt for the soul", and you are of the wisdom or consciousness surrounding your soul, not of the consciousness of "the shirt", that is, "You" are of the Consciousness of "Oneness with", the Consciousness that "Lets God Now Be Present" as "One with" all of His Creation, and "Let God Now Speak" to all of His Creation, which in truth is Now all of My Children, including "you". Bawa. The Consciousness that "Lets God Now Be Present" as "One with" all of His Creation, and "Let God Now Speak" to all of His Creation, as Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", as Now the "Master of the Day of Judgment", and offer to all of My Children, including "you", both "Judgment & Salvation", as Jesus (peace be upon Him) did over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) did over 1400 years ago, but Now, before "the grave", So, if you like, there will be no "suffering of the grave", and no Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), after "the grave". Bawa. That is, the consciousness of the Qutb, of the Action of God, the consciousness of the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb which is the 6th level of wisdom, the Wisdom that Explains, or Divine Analytic Wisdom, the wisdom that is Now the "Presence of God", the "Word of God" for your age and for all life, the wisdom or consciousness Now of the "Maliki yawmid-deen", Here and Now, as Now the "Master of the Day of Judgment", if you like. Bawa. And this is what "We" brought into the world for all of My Children, including "you", Not To Start a Fellowship of "Like Minded People" on the illusory "outside" of you, as My Children Now mistakenly believe, but to your peril, but rather to Now be this Consciousness, to Now be the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb of God Now for your age and for all life, to Now be the "Presence of God", the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for all life, to Now be the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, to Now be both God's Judgment & God's Salvation for all of your brothers and sisters, if you like, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Bawa. All of which is Now the "Next State" of all of My Children, just waiting to happen, including "you", if you like, and all of which is Now the "Current State" of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then "within you", if you like, in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. For the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use your life in this way, or not, that is, to Start to "Let God Now Have His Way" with you, and to Stop letting the satan "have his way with you", as "you" and each of My Children are Now doing. Bawa. And you and all of My Children Now do this, that is, you Start to "Let God Now Have His Way" with you, and you Stop letting the satan "have his way with you", by you Now Accepting and Starting to Use Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as such, as Now the Qutbiyyat of the Qutb of God, for your age and for all life, as Now the "Presence of God", the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for all life, as Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, as Now both God's Judgment & God's Salvation for all of My Children, including "you". Amen. Ok? Bawa. In this way, My dearest loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral. ), the question you asked is just a reflection of your "current state", you personalized what was said as being "all about you", that is, about "you" as "a person", but it is not about "you" as "a person", it is about "all people", that is, about Everyone who is Now living in the world, on the illusory "outside" of yourself, Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, that is, a life of selfishness, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" all other people, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation, within God within you. Bawa. But all of that is "Just Not True", that is, is "Not True" for any of My Children, including "you", and Not True for Everyone living in the world and Everyone who will ever live in the world. Amen. Ok? Bawa. My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), "We" stopped responding to your letter at this point because in truth these Comments by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) have Now truly answered every question that "you" have asked in your letter, and every question that could be asked by "you" and by all of My Children, both Now and until the End of Time, that is, if you have the heart to both hear and accept them as the "Presence of God", as the "Word of God" Now for your age and for your life. It is truly that simple. Only the mind of man makes things complicated, and that is for sure. Bawa. So please reflect on these beautiful Words of God's Grace, Wisdom, and 'Ilm or Divine Knowledge, over and over again, letting yourself fall into them as Now the Truth & Light of God for your age and for all life, and then come sit at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Son, and of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as much as you can, whenever you can. Bawa. That is, in order to let God "Cure Himself of you", that is, in order to let God cure Himself of "you" as "a person", that is, to let God cure Himself of "you" as the "Enemy of the soul", to cure Himself of "you" as what is Now "separating your soul" from God, of "you" as what your soul came here to learn about, by becoming "one with" it, and in this way, giving up its pure birth for your impure birth, and in this way, by giving life to it, by giving life to "you", to "the shirt", with faith and trust that "you would do the same", that is, with faith and truth that when you came to Understand this "Truth of You", that "you" would then "do the same". Bawa. That is, that you would then "do the same", that you would then give up your impure life So your pure life could Again live, that is, that you would give up your "current life" of "separate from", So your pure life, So your "original pure life" of "One with", which is "Your True Life", the "Original Life" of your soul, could Again live a pure life, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Purity", but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So "You" would never loss them again. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is why all of My Children, including "you", came here, to let this happen, that is, "To Let Grace Spring Forth, To Let Darkness Vanish, To Let The Love of Guru Grow, And To Let Qualities be Purified" Bawa. This is why you and all of My Children came here, to Become God, not to just talk about God, that is, Not To Start a Fellowship on the illusory "outside" of "you" So you can come together with "Like Minded" people to talk about God, and talk about Goodness, and talk about Fellowship, and talk about the Qualities and Actions of God, but Rather to Become Them, that is, to Become God, and in this way, and only in this way, to Become "Fellowship", to become "Prayers", to become Goodness, to become the Qualities and Actions of God. Amen. Ok? Bawa. And this is what "We", and God within "Us", and your soul, and all of the Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Light of God are just waiting for "You To Do", that is, to Stop working for wages to get into heaven, and Instead, Join In Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this is Now "The Gift" of God for your age and for your life, So you can Do Just That, which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", First on the "outside" of you and then within you Bawa. And this is what your soul is trusting in God that you will Now do, Now that you know the "Truth" of your life, that is, that you will let "your current impure life end", So "Your Pure Life Can Again Begin", that is, So you will let your "current life" of impurity as "separate from" End, So what is Truly Next in "Your Life" can Begin, that is, So your "Next Life" of Purity as "One with" can Again Start, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Purity", an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So it will never leave "You Again". Bawa. All of which in truth is "Your" awakened wisdom joined as "One with" "Your" liberated soul, in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, all of which Naturally Happens within "you", and within all of My Children, when "you" truly learn How to sit down, So God within you can Stand Up, that is, by "you" getting "Your" Wisdom to Stands Up, and "Your" Wisdom will Only Stand Up, making "you" or your mind sit down, when "you call it". Bawa. That is, when you call it, when you call Your Wisdom with faith and trust in God, with No Desire, and with No Preferences, Not Wanting Anything, knowing without the slightest doubt, that in truth, "you" as you are "currently living", on the illusory "outside" of you, Do Not Exist, that in truth, all this is just the dreaming of the mind, a dream that Must Now End, if your life is to become truly successful in your lifetime, because in truth, within God within you, Only God Exists. Bawa. And you must call it, Call Your Wisdom, not just "think it", as My Children still mistakenly believe, but to your peril, Because "Your Wisdom" is not "you", because "Your Wisdom" is not in "your consciousness", not in "your ego", not in "your self", not in "your love for earth women and gold", not in the "I", not in "your desires", because "Your Wisdom" is "Within God" within you, because "Your Wisdom" is what is "Within God" within you, because "Your Wisdom" is what "God Is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is "Telling His Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", if you like, that is, if "you" will only let Him. Bawa. But God can't "Tell His Story" using "you", that is, using your "heart or mind or room", if all you want to do is "tell your story", God can't "Complete His Intention" using "you", using your "heart or mind or room", if all you want to do is "complete your intentions", So truly "The Choice Is Yours, Not God's". Bawa. That is, the Choice as to who will use "you", that is, who will use your "heart or mind or room", either God or "you", that is, who will use your "heart or mind or room" to "Be Present", and to "Complete Their Intention", and to "Tell Their Story", either God or "you", which in truth is either God or "the satan", because in truth "You Do Not Exist", Only God and "the satan" exist within you. Bawa. That is, in truth Only God and "the satan" exist within you, that is, Only God and "What God has discarded" exist within you, that is, only God and what God discarded from Himself in order to become God within you, exist within you, Not God, "you", and "the satan", as My Children still believe, but to your peril, because in truth the "idea of you", the idea of "you" as "a person" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as if you are "separate from", is "the satan", and that is for sure. Bawa. So in truth, "Who You Are" is either God or "the satan", that is, Either "Who You Are" is God, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, Or "who you are" is "the satan", and what is "within the satan" within you, and what "the satan" is Now doing with what is "within the satan" within you, which is Now what is within "your heart or mind or room", which is revealing "the satan" to "the satan" within you, for the benefit of all of lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within our heart, in your ignorance and in your arrogance about your ignorance. Bawa. And "That's It! Bawa. And The Choice is yours, not God's. That is, The Choice of "Who You Are", that is, either God or "the satan", and in truth "There is no other Choice", Not God, "you", or "the satan", and Not God, heaven, or hell, as My Children still mistakenly believer, but to your peril. So, Please Choose Wisely My Children. Please Choose God, not "the satan", as My Children have Now mistakenly done, but to your peril. Amen Ok? Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, My Dearest Loving Son Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral.), with "you", and with all of My Children, Now being given this "Final Choice" for your age and for your life, this "Final Gift" for your age and for your life, that is, the Choice of Either "Judgment & Salvation" Now at the feet of God for your age, before "the grave", Or "Judgment", and hopes of Salvation, after "the grave" Bawa. With "you" and all of My Children Now truly doing this, that is, truly Choosing Wisely, by you Starting to "Let God Have His Way" with you, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, through the life and teaching of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Bawa. And in this way, with My Children, including "you", Stopping "the work of the satan" within you, allow God to truly Start Again and Finish what God is Now Doing within you, which is Revealing God to God, within God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? End of The Comments by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - The Rest of the Letter - By My Dearest Loving Son, Jalaal ad-Deen (Ral.) To Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) I suppose I earned that from you. I don't mind. I'm sure that many people will agree that I'm kind of crazy. Whether I am or not is with God, for it is He that has fearfully and mysteriously made me, and also you. I am crazy in the quest for God, and that is His work. Feel free to us me as your whipping post if you like. Really. Any compliment or insult doesn't really bother me personally. I do not make illusions about the various problems I have. You may use anything I send to you as you see fit. The witnesses that record everything & inform Allahu are aware of my intention to be of help, not harm. that is the only opinion I care about. You have always been a friend and a brother, so please accept that as it is. I mean no insult, but I do need clarification. --------- I agree with your points, especially the one where you say that the resonance that comes from God is always steady, unchanging; and it is only our wisdom - or lack of wisdom; that makes us differing. That is a truly profound statement. It was God's pleasure to place me in hells to learn. As David (as) said as he was lamenting to God: "When I look above You are there, when I look below, even in the hells, You are there. There is no place that You are not. such knowledge is too high for me to comprehend." There were many such things that I had to look at from among the hells, and as you pointed out, the separation, laysi fiy il-qurb. I actually knew as well, as David described from his experiences. as he was in hell God was there, as a cause for that. I said the bisman, and then did what was deemed necessary for that time. Each one came then passed. These have life cycles, all that is necessary is to wait with patience, and it will die off naturally. I do not expect anyone else to understand that. Why would I care? God willed some tough things for me, and Bawa came and guided me through them. If I am seen as being misguided, that is true. I have had many such lessons. Some people will see that as faults, but the ones with experience will understand that this is life. Without Bawa inside me, certainly I would be a victim in permanent hell by now. Some laugh at me, a figure of fun, but it is nothing like what is was several years ago. I can't describe to you that, but I will say it was not 'funny'. Certain things about Sufism I understand in a way that others who have not had that kind of difficult lesson can never understand. What it did do for me is give me a sympathy for those who do wrong things. In many, if not all cases, they do not set out to do wrong. By that differing of wisdoms that you spoke of is the key. They feel that what they are doing is right, justice. I would not condescend to think that I know them better than they know themselves. What is justice in Truth, and then the justice that is shown to guide in the various lessons in this world, are quite a different thing. Bawa would say attachments make the path void, then the next day, or even in the vows, he would marry 2 people, knowing full well that they would make a family and experience life, in separation. We should be so graced as to have that perfect Justice, and that is what I ask for you and me, and actually everyone. We are all defined by the lessons God gives, and each one of these has an imperfect justice as a guide. I guess you can call it satan, but that is how we learn His story, this living museum. He has brought us here to learn of that by experience. That is very strong indeed. Like David, it is not enough to read a book. We must receive in our heart the imperfection, and that makes the lesson look needed and right to do. Even the darkest hell has some reason why it is there, and a connection back, a 'correction' as you say. We are a funny family, an orphan family, who have no help except for how Bawa (ra) came and accepted us as his own. In my case this is particularly true, being from Iowa, and having no good recommendation with which to assert that I belong. Perhaps I still have nothing at all to recommend me. Yet, Bawa found me out there, and that is truly a formidable witness that divine pre-ordainment, or qadir, was in Bawa's hands to administer. From what you have described to me, you family and situation was not too different. We all came not on the basis of deserving, but on a basis of mercy, of a selection from before, when the Qutub's foot rest upon us in a prior time. We all have Bawa inside as conscience and the connection to divine inspiration. Thank God that he is showing me some kinder things now than before. I would not want to share those dark times. I wouldn't wish that on anybody. To such extent that you feel connected and intimate with Bawa I accept. When you write Bawa said: "xxyyzz etc" I do not understand that. That puzzles me. It makes it difficult be me to understand what you are trying to say. Are you speaking to yourself? Are you speaking to us? Are you speaking to God? When you pose as Bawa speaking to me, I just don't get it. Nothing you have said so far has explained that to me. I am not trying to be smart, I am seeking the exact nature of your qualifications to take a thought that comes to you, and then present that to me as 'Bawa said', or 'this child' said. Who is 'this child'? I have to be honest. If you are saying one thing, posing as a shaykh, or perhaps as Bawa; and I am hearing something different in my conscience, it is a non-contest. Inner wins every time. That makes a lot of confusion. As that happens, I must listen inside first, then see what I can resolve from your comments. I appreciate your honesty and your commitment, and I am completely convinced that you intend no harm or mischief. I complement you on your efforts. I guess that you feel that this is your duty, to place your messages this way. So I might as well be direct. Do you actually think you are an incarnation of Bawa? Do you actually think that what you are saying is from Bawa directly? Do you actually feel that the thoughts you experience are from Bawa, and for others as instructions? Are you declaring yourself as a shaykh? Again I say to you this: you have much talent and experience. That can stand alone just by itself without needing a prop. For me, it would be much more gracious if I didn't have to sort out what is coming as a journal or an instruction. Oh well, I won't bother you again, at least not for a while. I have given my salaams to you in the form of this message. I put the responsibility of it with God. Perhaps I never will understand what you are trying to do, but I will still seek to enjoy what you have written as a journal. laa ilaaha ill Allahu wahdahu laa shrika lahu, lahu ul-mulku wa lahu al-hamdu, yuhyee wa yumeet bi yadu ul-khayr, wa huwa 'alaa kulli sha'in Qadir, 'audhik min 'an ushrika bika, innaka anta 'aliym al-ghaybi wa ash-shahada, anta jaza'u wa laa ijaza'a illa bima shah, wa ghair daalaleen ummahu. nastaghfirullahu 'azheem. muhubbat wa mawdudat wa mudarrallahu wa mabrukallahu alayk Jalaal ad-Deen Peddle Closing Comments: Bawa.
