Bawa.  Here is Page 1 of 1 of the On-line Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter,
"
Spiritual Letter 136", which is a short little letter to My Dearest Loving Son Aaron Weiss, answering the following question that he asked of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

          "If the disciple doesn't understand something the Shaikh is saying, is it correct
          to interrupt the Shaikh to ask a question?"

Bawa.  And a short little letter to His devoted mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza Weiss, and to all of My Children, that is, to all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), who in truth is Now everyone living in your age, if you like, a letter that you will find full of some Very Large Wisdom, if you are wise. Amen.

Bawa.  All of whom in truth, like each of My Children, is either My dearest loving
Son or My dearest loving Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers or actions of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you which in truth are the windows of your inner heart or Qalb, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can be seen, and understood, again, if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice whether any of "This Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.  Ok?.

Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children, to God within all of My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to
again become
"One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen.

Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and
Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Them, and with Us) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Amen

Text of On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 136, Without Outline, that is, as it was Originally E-mailed to My Children on the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List".  Click HERE to read about the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List", and how to get on this mailing list, if you like

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 be pleased with all of
My Children
.  May God help all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  My Love You, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron (Weiss), and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza (Bitsy Weiss), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

Bawa.  You asked the question,

          "If the disciple doesn't understand something the Shaikh is saying, is it correct
          to interrupt the Shaikh to ask a question?"

Bawa.  This is a very good question, and gets at the very heart of the True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, which in truth is the relationship between God and God within God within you, for in truth "La ilaha Ill Allahu", for in truth "There is Nothing other than God, You are Allah".

Bawa.  So the answer to this question depends on the level of faith, certitude, and determination that the Disciple has in God.  For example, if the Disciple is a True Disciple then God is always the True Shaikh, is always Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and in this case God is also the True Disciple, is always the soul, is always Jesus (peace be upon Him) being liberated from His Cross, from the cross of your elemental body, and in truth They are always "One", in the same way that a flower and its fragrance are One. 

Bawa.  In this case, the heart of the True Disciple and the heart of the True Shaikh mingle as One, as "True Love", So what can the Disciple ever ask of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and what can Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) ever tell the Disciple, ever tell the soul, ever tell Jesus (peace be upon Him), Rather in the True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship God is always in constant communion with God in the state of "True Love", and all that is ever required, either by the True Disciple, by the soul, by Jesus (peace be upon Him), or by the True Shaikh, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is always instantly provided within their embrace of "Oneness".

Bawa.  This is True Prayer, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", and this is why you have come into the world, to become this, to become True Prayer, and within that True Prayer to become the Station of Man-God/God-Man, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man, 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.

Bawa.  What Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now brings into the life of His Children is the opportunity to establish this True Relationship between God and God, this True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, within God within you, if you like, by you learning how not to be there, "So God can be there", for in truth this is "God's Promise", this is "God's Guarantee" for your age and for your life, that is,

          "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there".

Bawa.  And how you establish this True Relationship, this True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship between God and God, within God within you, is by You "Just Doing It", that is, by "You" placing all of your faith, certitude, and determination in God, and in God alone, and "You" giving all Responsibility for the doing of it to God, and to God along, and then by You "Just Doing It".

Bawa.  For in truth there is no "getting ready to do it", and there is no "understanding it better and better so you can do it", it is You "Just Doing It", placing all of "Your" faith and trust in God, and in God Alone, Stepping Out In This Way, in Everything that "You" Do, in Everything that God places before "You".

Bawa.  This and This Alone is what will Cause it to happen, For in truth, then God will Do Everything Else, then God will do Everything Else necessary for it to occur, that is, for "You and God" to Be One, that is "His Promise", that is "His Guarantee".

Bawa.  So when is a question ever necessary, since God has in truth already answered ever possible question that you, or anyone else could ever ask, if you like, and that answer is, "La ilaha Ill Allahu", that answer is, "There is nothing other than God, You are Allah".  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  But "you" asked the question, So what are "We" to do, but hand your question to God within "Us", saying to God,

          "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next".

Bawa.  And then be done with it, placing our faith and trust in God, and in God along, giving God and God alone all responsibility for all questions and all answers, and for the asking and for the answering of them, saying Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.  And then, be done with it, which is what this child has Now done with your question. Amen.

Bawa.  And here is His Answer.  Yes, you can certainly always ask a question, and doing so is always appropriate, but always wait for the correct moment to ask it of
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), like when He seems to have finishes talking about some wisdom point, or some experience that "We" have given Him for all of Our Children, or He asks, "Are there any question?".

Bawa.  But always remember that rather than this, that is, rather than asking a question, it is always more helpful on the journey of your soul, to look at the one who is asking the question, and start to learn about him, for in truth that is always the real question of your life, which is, what within you is blocking or preventing the soul from returning to God within you, and from returning this time with an Understanding of Yourself, that is, returning this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you again.

Bawa.  And in this way, rather than asking a question it is always more helpful to look at the one within you who is asking the Question, for in truth this will Start to reveal some very interesting things about you, that is, about your current life of "separation and differences", that is, about the things that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and which Now rule over you, through the 9 Openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission".

Bawa.  So when you are sitting at the feet of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and He is sharing a wisdom point, or an experience that "We" have given Him for all of Our Children, and you hear Him say something that you don't understand, or that you would like to remember, or that seems to conflict with something that perhaps "We" shared with Our Children when "We" were living in the world, or that conflicts with something that you currently think is true, or false, and the thought comes into you to ask a question of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) about it, Stop, and then CALL Us.

Bawa.  That is, Say the Word Bawa, or Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, or Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and then hand the question, and the one who asked the question, and the thought to ask a question to "Us", after briefly reflecting upon it, and then Be Done With It, saying Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.

Bawa.  And in this way, with you taking it, that is, with you taking the question, and the one within you who asked the question, and the thought to ask a question of
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) "Out of your hand", instead putting it "Into Our Hand", making the question, and the one who asked it within you, and whether or not to ask
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) the question, "Our Responsibility", not "Your Responsibility".  That would be Good.  Good for you.  Good for all of My Children.  And Good for "Us".

Bawa. This is the way "We" have trained Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to live His Life, for the last 32 years, which has allowed Him to Now become the "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Word of God" for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Fire of God" burning in the world, for your age and for your life, that is, to Now become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of Himself, and Now within Himself, So Now you and all of My Children can Now do the same, if you like, for like
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) before you, the Choice is always yours, not God's.

Bawa.  That is, the Choice to Start to Use God to Get To God, or not, that is, to Start to Use "Your Oneness" to get to "Your Oneness", or not, and the Choice to Stop using "you" as "separate from" God to get to God, to get to "Your Oneness", or not. 

Bawa.  And Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) made His Choice, and He Chose "Us" over himself, and became "Us", and Now He is "Us" and "We" are God within Him, and God within "Us" is Now the True Disciple, or your soul, or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within God within you, just waiting to "Get off of His Cross", if you will only let Him, if you will only Now become "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa. And this is Now the Triple Flame of God, for your age and for all life, Now as
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth when Two become One, that is the Triple Flame, and when Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) became "One with" Us, when "We" were living in the world, then He become the Triple Flame of God for your age and for all life, and Now you and all of
My Children
must do the same, or you will remain the "triple dirt", which Now is your arrogance, karma, and illusion.

Bawa.  And if you die in that state, as the "triple dirt", then an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you will become your eternal reward, not because God is punishing you, but rather because "That is what you want", because that is what you keep telling God, day in and day out, moment by moment, that you want for eternity, by your actions in the world, by your intentions and actions of "separation and differences", not just by your words.

Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world,

          "The Justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive".
And:
          "Your own life answers the question, 'What do you want for eternity?', because
          in truth what you end up with in your life, is exactly what you want".

Bawa. So how you spend eternity, that is, Either as "One with" God within you, Or as "separate from" God within you, is most certainly in your hand, not God's hand, that is, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice. 

Bawa.  So please Choose wisely, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, Please Choose God over "you", Please Choose "Your Oneness with" over "your separation from", and please tell all of your family and friends to Choose wisely too, but before you do, say the Word "Bawa", establishing the "Presence of God" within you, So they Get God, and You Get God, and "you" as "separate from" is no longer there.  Then "You" will be of Great Value to all lives, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now of Great Value to all lives.  Then "You" will have no questions, that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the heart) to your mother and
My Dearest Loving Daughter
Aziza, and to your father and My Dearest Loving Son Elliot, and to all of your family and friends.  Please tell them that Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa.  May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of My Children.  May God help all of My Children. Amen.

Bawa.  My love you, My dearest loving Son Aaron, and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza, and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

About The "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"

Bawa.  If you would like to be added to the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"
please sent "Us" your request to either of the following E-mail addresses: "
Bawa786@aol.com" or "Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com", and please put the following as the E-mail Subject: "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List - Please add my name to your list". 

Bawa.  And if you like (optional), then in the body or "Text of the E-mail" please tell "Us" a little bit about yourself, if you like, that is, about your life in the world, and of the world within you, which in truth is your life in the "presence of the satan", which in truth is your "mind and desire", which in truth is your current life of falsehood and darkness, and about your life in the "Presence of God", which in truth is your wisdom, which in truth is your "Next Life", Here and Now, of Truth and Light, if you like, for in truth The Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to continue living as the "presence of the satan" or to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God", Here and Now.

Bawa.  And about how best "We" can join with you in this "Grand Endeavor",
that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "you" becoming "You"
, that is, of "You" moving from "your falsehood and darkness" to "Your Truth and Light", Here and Now, that is, of "You" moving from being the "presence of the satan" and the "word of satan", to becoming the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God", Here and Now. 

Bawa.  For example, by "Us" sitting together at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship (always the very best way), letting Bawa "Cure Himself of us" or by "Us" Instant Messaging in "God's Presence", or by "Us" talking on the Phone in "God's Presence", that is, for "Us" to do as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told "Us" to do, over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) also told "Us" to do over 1400 years ago, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) also told "Us" to do over 1000 years ago, and Now in "Our" age as
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) has Again told "Us" to do, and "Right Now" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
is Again telling "Us" to do
, that is,

          "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there."

Bawa.  That is, to sit in the "Presence of God" in this "Grand Endeavor", that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" Letting God Again Happen, but this time within you, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God Again become One with God, but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again.

Bawa.  That is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as the "presence of the satan" and as the "word of satan" in the "heaven of satan", that is, to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as "separate from" the "Presence & Word of God" in the "Heaven of God", Here and Now, within your Light "Room" or Heart or Mind, that is, to Cure Himself of your current state, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you remove from Himself all of what is Now "separating God from God", all of which in truth is Now "you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, of "You" letting God Again discard from Himself "the satan", all of which in truth is Now "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is Now the "kingdom of the satan", the "heaven of the satan", within your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is Now "you" living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  So in the End, if you like, Only God Is There within you, within your "Room" or Heart or Mind, as "One With", that is, as "The One" to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, for in truth this is the "Way of the Lord" of "John the Baptist" and of Jesus (peace be upon Them), over 2000 years ago, and this is the "Straight Path" of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, not "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if you are "separate from" God, and from Everyone and Everything.

Bawa.  That is, Not "you" living as an "Associate or Helper of God", when in truth "Wahdahu la sharik lahu" or "God is One without Associates to Him", that is, not "you" living as the "Enemy of the soul", not "you" living as the "child of darkness", not "you" living in truth as the "child of the satan", not "you" living in truth as the "form or manifestation of the satan", animated with your soul, living in the "heaven of the satan", which in truth is Now the illusory "outside" of you, which is Now "you" keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, day in and day out, moment by moment,
so "you can sin"
, So in truth "you" can continue to live your current illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness, of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, Until that is what you then get for eternity, Because "That Is What You Want".

Bawa.  So Start to Stop living like this, as "separate from" in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and Instead Come Sit with God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is,
come sit
with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us),
First
on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, come sit in the "Presence of God", and hear the "Word of God" as it "Comes from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So "You" too become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life.

Bawa.  So "You" too become the "Word of God made flesh", So "You" too become the "Door" and the "Way" for your age and for all life, "First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth, then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make "Your Life", and all life within you, that is, within God within you, if they like, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the life of your brothers and sisters, if they like, truly successfrul in your lifetime, as this child has Now learned to do.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life, and all life, truly successful in your lifetime, for in truth this is Now God's Promise, this is Now
God's Guarantee
for your age and for your life, if you like, that is,

          "If you are not there, God will be there"

Bawa.  For such is the true Exaltedness of Your Own Life, if you like, that is, if you will only First truly accept the Very Same Exaltedness within "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased", and Start to treat him accordingly.

Bawa.  Only then will any of My Children reach God, for as "We" taught My
Children when "We" were living in the world,

          "You will only find God within the Exaltedness of your own life".

Bawa.  And this is all any of My Children Now Need, that is, to truly learn how to make your own life Exalted, that is, by learning how "Not to be there, So God can be there", as this child has Now learned to do, not any of the current silliness all of My Children are currently doing, like "you" doing anything, not matter how exalted it might seem to be, for in truth it is all crazyness and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure.

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, while you can still do something about it, that is, please realize without the slightest doubt that this is all any of My Children Now Need, this truth about "God, and You, and the Creation of God", this truth of "Your Oneness", Now coming for the "Very Last Time" from God within all of My Children, that is, from the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), in whom "We are well pleased".

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, that this is all you Now Need, not anything that came before, in previous ages, and not anything that even truly came from God before in previous ages, for in truth, Now, for this age, for this age of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and Now for your life in this age, and for all of the lives Now within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the lives of your brothers and sisters, this is Now all you will Ever Need, if you like, that is, all you will Ever Need to truly become successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa. For the Choice is Now yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this
"
Last Grand Offer" of God, or not, and if you truly do, then to literally "Become It", that is, to become the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for all life, by truly accepting & sitting in the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for your life, or not, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, by joining as "One with" "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", or not, as often as you can, as much as you can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become "Our" dearest loving Son or Daughter, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", 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.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.

Bawa.  Here is Page 1 of 1 of the On-line Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter,
"
Spiritual Letter 136", which is a short little letter to My Dearest Loving Son Aaron Weiss, answering the following question that he asked of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

          "If the disciple doesn't understand something the Shaikh is saying, is it correct
          to interrupt the Shaikh to ask a question?"

Bawa.  And a short little letter to His devoted mother and My Dearest Loving Daughter Aziza Weiss, and to all of My Children, that is, to all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), who in truth is Now everyone living in your age, if you like, a letter that you will find full of some Very Large Wisdom, if you are wise. Amen.

Bawa.  All of whom in truth, like each of My Children, is either My dearest loving
Son or My dearest loving Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers or actions of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you which in truth are the windows of your inner heart or Qalb, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can be seen, and understood, again, if you like, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice whether any of "This Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen.  Ok?.

Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children, to God within all of My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to
again become
"One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh and get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, that is, to again become "One with" God within you, but this time with an understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave you again. Amen.

Bawa. And in this way, "A True Love Letter" to "Our" dearest loving Son and
Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Them, and with Us) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, if you like, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Amen

Bawa.  The "Brief Outline" gives you just enough of a description of each "Outline Topic" for you to "get the point", and the "Longer Outline" puts no restriction on the description of each "Outline Topic", letting the full description flow forth, which can be quite extensive and beautiful, if you read it entirely, especially if you read it with Bawa, giving Bawa Salams to Him and asking Him to teach you "What you do not know", which is how this child has Now learned to do everything.  Amen.

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 be pleased with all of
My Children
.  May God help all of My Children.  Amen.

Bawa.  My Love You, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron (Weiss), and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza (Bitsy Weiss), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

Bawa.  You asked the question,

          "If the disciple doesn't understand something the Shaikh is saying, is it correct
          to interrupt the Shaikh to ask a question?"

Bawa.  This is a very good question, and gets at the very heart of the True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, which in truth is the relationship between God and God within God within you, for in truth "La ilaha Ill Allahu", for in truth "There is Nothing other than God, You are Allah".

Bawa.  So the answer to this question depends on the level of faith, certitude, and determination that the Disciple has in God.  For example, if the Disciple is a True Disciple then God is always the True Shaikh, is always Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and in this case God is also the True Disciple, is always the soul, is always Jesus (peace be upon Him) being liberated from His Cross, from the cross of your elemental body, and in truth They are always "One", in the same way that a flower and its fragrance are One. 

Bawa.  In this case, the heart of the True Disciple and the heart of the True Shaikh mingle as One, as "True Love", So what can the Disciple ever ask of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and what can Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) ever tell the Disciple, ever tell the soul, ever tell Jesus (peace be upon Him), Rather in the True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship God is always in constant communion with God in the state of "True Love", and all that is ever required, either by the True Disciple, by the soul, by Jesus (peace be upon Him), or by the True Shaikh, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is always instantly provided within their embrace of "Oneness".

Bawa.  This is True Prayer, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is", and this is why you have come into the world, to become this, to become True Prayer, and within that True Prayer to become the Station of Man-God/God-Man, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man, 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.

Bawa.  What Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now brings into the life of His Children is the opportunity to establish this True Relationship between God and God, this True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, within God within you, if you like, by you learning how not to be there, "So God can be there", for in truth this is "God's Promise", this is "God's Guarantee" for your age and for your life, that is,

          "If you are there God is not there, and if God is there you are not there".

Bawa.  And how you establish this True Relationship, this True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship between God and God, within God within you, is by You "Just Doing It", that is, by "You" placing all of your faith, certitude, and determination in God, and in God alone, and "You" giving all Responsibility for the doing of it to God, and to God along, and then by You "Just Doing It".

Bawa.  For in truth there is no "getting ready to do it", and there is no "understanding it better and better so you can do it", it is You "Just Doing It", placing all of "Your" faith and trust in God, and in God Alone, Stepping Out In This Way, in Everything that "You" Do, in Everything that God places before "You".

Bawa.  This and This Alone is what will Cause it to happen, For in truth, then God will Do Everything Else, then God will do Everything Else necessary for it to occur, that is, for "You and God" to Be One, that is "His Promise", that is "His Guarantee".

Bawa.  So when is a question ever necessary, since God has in truth already answered ever possible question that you, or anyone else could ever ask, if you like, and that answer is, "La ilaha Ill Allahu", that answer is, "There is nothing other than God, You are Allah".  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  But "you" asked the question, So what are "We" to do, but hand your question to God within "Us", saying to God,

          "Thank You O God, No Thank You O God, What's Next".

Bawa.  And then be done with it, placing our faith and trust in God, and in God along, giving God and God alone all responsibility for all questions and all answers, and for the asking and for the answering of them, saying Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.  And then, be done with it, which is what this child has Now done with your question. Amen.

Bawa.  And here is His Answer.  Yes, you can certainly always ask a question, and doing so is always appropriate, but always wait for the correct moment to ask it of
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), like when He seems to have finishes talking about some wisdom point, or some experience that "We" have given Him for all of Our Children, or He asks, "Are there any question?".

Bawa.  But always remember that rather than this, that is, rather than asking a question, it is always more helpful on the journey of your soul, to look at the one who is asking the question, and start to learn about him, for in truth that is always the real question of your life, which is, what within you is blocking or preventing the soul from returning to God within you, and from returning this time with an Understanding of Yourself, that is, returning this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you again.

Bawa.  And in this way, rather than asking a question it is always more helpful to look at the one within you who is asking the Question, for in truth this will Start to reveal some very interesting things about you, that is, about your current life of "separation and differences", that is, about the things that you have allowed to grow within you, in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and which Now rule over you, through the 9 Openings of your elemental body, with "God's Permission".

Bawa.  So when you are sitting at the feet of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and He is sharing a wisdom point, or an experience that "We" have given Him for all of Our Children, and you hear Him say something that you don't understand, or that you would like to remember, or that seems to conflict with something that perhaps "We" shared with Our Children when "We" were living in the world, or that conflicts with something that you currently think is true, or false, and the thought comes into you to ask a question of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) about it, Stop, and then CALL Us.

Bawa.  That is, Say the Word Bawa, or Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, or Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and then hand the question, and the one who asked the question, and the thought to ask a question to "Us", after briefly reflecting upon it, and then Be Done With It, saying Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.

Bawa.  And in this way, with you taking it, that is, with you taking the question, and the one within you who asked the question, and the thought to ask a question of
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) "Out of your hand", instead putting it "Into Our Hand", making the question, and the one who asked it within you, and whether or not to ask
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) the question, "Our Responsibility", not "Your Responsibility".  That would be Good.  Good for you.  Good for all of My Children.  And Good for "Us".

Bawa. This is the way "We" have trained Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to live His Life, for the last 32 years, which has allowed Him to Now become the "Presence of God" for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Word of God" for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Word of God made flesh", for your age and for your life, to Now become the "Fire of God" burning in the world, for your age and for your life, that is, to Now become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of Himself, and Now within Himself, So Now you and all of My Children can Now do the same, if you like, for like
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.) before you, the Choice is always yours, not God's.

Bawa.  That is, the Choice to Start to Use God to Get To God, or not, that is, to Start to Use "Your Oneness" to get to "Your Oneness", or not, and the Choice to Stop using "you" as "separate from" God to get to God, to get to "Your Oneness", or not. 

Bawa.  And Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) made His Choice, and He Chose "Us" over himself, and became "Us", and Now He is "Us" and "We" are God within Him, and God within "Us" is Now the True Disciple, or your soul, or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within God within you, just waiting to "Get off of His Cross", if you will only let Him, if you will only Now become "One with" Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa. And this is Now the Triple Flame of God, for your age and for all life, Now as
Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
(Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth when Two become One, that is the Triple Flame, and when Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) became "One with" Us, when "We" were living in the world, then He become the Triple Flame of God for your age and for all life, and Now you and all of
My Children
must do the same, or you will remain the "triple dirt", which Now is your arrogance, karma, and illusion.

Bawa.  And if you die in that state, as the "triple dirt", then an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you will become your eternal reward, not because God is punishing you, but rather because "That is what you want", because that is what you keep telling God, day in and day out, moment by moment, that you want for eternity, by your actions in the world, by your intentions and actions of "separation and differences", not just by your words.

Bawa. For as "We" taught you when "We" were living in the world,

          "The Justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive".
And:
          "Your own life answers the question, 'What do you want for eternity?', because
          in truth what you end up with in your life, is exactly what you want".

Bawa. So how you spend eternity, that is, Either as "One with" God within you, Or as "separate from" God within you, is most certainly in your hand, not God's hand, that is, is most certainly your Choice, not God's Choice. 

Bawa.  So please Choose wisely, My Dearest Loving Son Aaron, Please Choose God over "you", Please Choose "Your Oneness with" over "your separation from", and please tell all of your family and friends to Choose wisely too, but before you do, say the Word "Bawa", establishing the "Presence of God" within you, So they Get God, and You Get God, and "you" as "separate from" is no longer there.  Then "You" will be of Great Value to all lives, as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now of Great Value to all lives.  Then "You" will have no questions, that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  Please give "Our" love and salams (greetings of the heart) to your mother and
My Dearest Loving Daughter
Aziza, and to your father and My Dearest Loving Son Elliot, and to all of your family and friends.  Please tell them that Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in "Our" prayers.

Bawa.  May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children.  May God be pleased with all of My Children.  May God help all of My Children. Amen.

Bawa.  My love you, My dearest loving Son Aaron, and My dearest loving Daughter Aziza, and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen.

About The "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"

Bawa.  If you would like to be added to the "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List"
please sent "Us" your request to either of the following E-mail addresses: "
Bawa786@aol.com" or "Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com", and please put the following as the E-mail Subject: "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen Mailing List - Please add my name to your list". 

Bawa.  And if you like (optional), then in the body or "Text of the E-mail" please tell "Us" a little bit about yourself, if you like, that is, about your life in the world, and of the world within you, which in truth is your life in the "presence of the satan", which in truth is your "mind and desire", which in truth is your current life of falsehood and darkness, and about your life in the "Presence of God", which in truth is your wisdom, which in truth is your "Next Life", Here and Now, of Truth and Light, if you like, for in truth The Choice is yours, not God, that is, the Choice to continue living as the "presence of the satan" or to join with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God", Here and Now.

Bawa.  And about how best "We" can join with you in this "Grand Endeavor",
that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "you" becoming "You"
, that is, of "You" moving from "your falsehood and darkness" to "Your Truth and Light", Here and Now, that is, of "You" moving from being the "presence of the satan" and the "word of satan", to becoming the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God", Here and Now. 

Bawa.  For example, by "Us" sitting together at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship (always the very best way), letting Bawa "Cure Himself of us" or by "Us" Instant Messaging in "God's Presence", or by "Us" talking on the Phone in "God's Presence", that is, for "Us" to do as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told "Us" to do, over 2000 years ago, and as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) also told "Us" to do over 1400 years ago, and as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) also told "Us" to do over 1000 years ago, and Now in "Our" age as
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) has Again told "Us" to do, and "Right Now" as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us)
is Again telling "Us" to do
, that is,

          "If two of you come together in My Name, I will be there."

Bawa.  That is, to sit in the "Presence of God" in this "Grand Endeavor", that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" Letting God Again Happen, but this time within you, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God Again become One with God, but this time within you, but this time with "You" becoming the Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again.

Bawa.  That is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you "Cure Himself of you", to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as the "presence of the satan" and as the "word of satan" in the "heaven of satan", that is, to Cure Himself of "you" Now living as "separate from" the "Presence & Word of God" in the "Heaven of God", Here and Now, within your Light "Room" or Heart or Mind, that is, to Cure Himself of your current state, that is, in this "Grand Endeavor" of "You" letting God within you remove from Himself all of what is Now "separating God from God", all of which in truth is Now "you", First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, of "You" letting God Again discard from Himself "the satan", all of which in truth is Now "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is Now the "kingdom of the satan", the "heaven of the satan", within your dark "room" or heart or mind, all of which in truth is Now "you" living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

Bawa.  So in the End, if you like, Only God Is There within you, within your "Room" or Heart or Mind, as "One With", that is, as "The One" to all of the Creation of God, within God within you, for in truth this is the "Way of the Lord" of "John the Baptist" and of Jesus (peace be upon Them), over 2000 years ago, and this is the "Straight Path" of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, not "you" living on the illusory "outside" of yourself as if you are "separate from" God, and from Everyone and Everything.

Bawa.  That is, Not "you" living as an "Associate or Helper of God", when in truth "Wahdahu la sharik lahu" or "God is One without Associates to Him", that is, not "you" living as the "Enemy of the soul", not "you" living as the "child of darkness", not "you" living in truth as the "child of the satan", not "you" living in truth as the "form or manifestation of the satan", animated with your soul, living in the "heaven of the satan", which in truth is Now the illusory "outside" of you, which is Now "you" keeping Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, day in and day out, moment by moment,
so "you can sin"
, So in truth "you" can continue to live your current illusory life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness, of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" Everyone and Everything Else, Until that is what you then get for eternity, Because "That Is What You Want".

Bawa.  So Start to Stop living like this, as "separate from" in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, and Instead Come Sit with God for your age and for your life, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is,
come sit
with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us),
First
on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, come sit in the "Presence of God", and hear the "Word of God" as it "Comes from God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, So "You" too become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" for your age and for your life.

Bawa.  So "You" too become the "Word of God made flesh", So "You" too become the "Door" and the "Way" for your age and for all life, "First on the "outside" of you and then within you, for in truth, then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make "Your Life", and all life within you, that is, within God within you, if they like, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, the life of your brothers and sisters, if they like, truly successfrul in your lifetime, as this child has Now learned to do.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  And then God will do "Everything Else" necessary to make your life, and all life, truly successful in your lifetime, for in truth this is Now God's Promise, this is Now
God's Guarantee
for your age and for your life, if you like, that is,

          "If you are not there, God will be there"

Bawa.  For such is the true Exaltedness of Your Own Life, if you like, that is, if you will only First truly accept the Very Same Exaltedness within "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well pleased", and Start to treat him accordingly.

Bawa.  Only then will any of My Children reach God, for as "We" taught My
Children when "We" were living in the world,

          "You will only find God within the Exaltedness of your own life".

Bawa.  And this is all any of My Children Now Need, that is, to truly learn how to make your own life Exalted, that is, by learning how "Not to be there, So God can be there", as this child has Now learned to do, not any of the current silliness all of My Children are currently doing, like "you" doing anything, not matter how exalted it might seem to be, for in truth it is all crazyness and is only leading you to an eternal hell within you as "separate from" God within you, and that is for sure.

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, while you can still do something about it, that is, please realize without the slightest doubt that this is all any of My Children Now Need, this truth about "God, and You, and the Creation of God", this truth of "Your Oneness", Now coming for the "Very Last Time" from God within all of My Children, that is, from the heart of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with HIm), in whom "We are well pleased".

Bawa.  Please realize this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, that this is all you Now Need, not anything that came before, in previous ages, and not anything that even truly came from God before in previous ages, for in truth, Now, for this age, for this age of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), and Now for your life in this age, and for all of the lives Now within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the lives of your brothers and sisters, this is Now all you will Ever Need, if you like, that is, all you will Ever Need to truly become successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure.  Amen. Ok?

Bawa. For the Choice is Now yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this
"
Last Grand Offer" of God, or not, and if you truly do, then to literally "Become It", that is, to become the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for all life, by truly accepting & sitting in the "Presence & Word of God" for your age and for your life, or not, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.

Bawa.  That is, by joining as "One with" "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", or not, as often as you can, as much as you can, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in order to become "Our" dearest loving Son or Daughter, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), in whom "We are well pleased", 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.  Thank you.  Enjoy.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen.
