In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. 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 us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Here is the start of a beautiful review of the Holy Qur'an that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, have instructed this child to perform, living at the feet of Bawa within us, and of God within Him, and which They have instructed this child to review with you, as it progresses, with the Children of God for our age, because in truth there is only "One" of us, as there is only "One" God within us, and in truth "They are One" within us, just waiting for us within us, to let Them get on with it within us, get on with what They have started within us, which is to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. Please reflect on these words of wisdom a little, as well as the words to follow, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, because it is very important. There is not a lot of time left, for any of us, and still a lot to do, before our time on the "outside" of us is over, and we must harvest the crop we have grown, and move into the house that we have build. May ours be the best of crops, and the most beautiful of houses. Amen.

Summary of Chapter 86 - of "At Tarique", of "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star" a. Summary of "First Three Lines" of Chapter 86 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. 01. By the heaven and the Morning Star. 02. Ah, what will tell thee what the morning Star Is? 03. The piercing Star? The heaven and the Morning Star refers to the 25 of the 28 letters within us, to the 28 letter mystical form within us that is the essence of the 5 letter form within us, the 5 elemental form of earth, fire, air, water, air and ether within us, the 28 letters within us which are seen within us, when we see the 5 within us in their true state, not as we are currently experiencing them, as the 6 faces within us, or the 5 Ruhanies or elemental spirits within us, but rather as the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, as the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israf'el, Israi'el, and Rui'el (peace be upon Them) within us, without the arrogance, karma, and illusion of the "co-operative store" within us that forms when these 5 fall out of the state of the Kalimah within us, of the affirmation of the Unity of Allah within us, out of surrender to the Feet of God within us, and become the 5 Ruhanies within us. Amen. For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, their are two directions that our life can take, for God has given us a choice, God has given us two paths to follow, and which one we take is our choice, not God's choice, because God has already made His choice, and it is the path of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity" within us, and that is why we are alive on the "outside" of us, to now make our choice, to choose between an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within us, or an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, and to make this choice before we physically die to the "outside" of us. May we all join in partnership with God within us, as "One with" God and with the "Stuff of God" within us, to make the right choice within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, and in this way, let our "outside" peacefully come to an end, both within us and on the "outside", so God within us can finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within, and in this way, stop working for wages to get into heaven. Amen. b. Summary of "Line 4" - "No human soul but hath a guardian over it" And so this is the answer to all of our questions about God, and about "who God is", and "where God" is, and "who we are", and "where we are", and of our relationships with God, both before and now, and "what is to become of us". And the answer is so simple, if we will only step back for a moment from what "we think" is currently happening to us, and from what we "think we know", for example, from how we got to be "living on" the "outside" of us, living a temporary, mortal life, on the "outside" of us, from how we got to be this body that we see living in the world on the "outside" of us, a body that is currently the center of our universe, living in a world that is all around us, a world that seems so large and that we really know so little about, but a world that appears to be potentially both beautiful and very, very dangerous at the same time, a world that makes us appear very tiny, and dangerously vulnerable in comparison. So line 4 in this beautiful Sura or Chapter from the Holy Qur'an, from Chapter 86 or "At Tarique", the Night Visitant or the Morning Star, contains an opening to a whole new way of existing, a whole new way of looking at ourselves, and at God, and at our own life, if we will only take the great leap, make the only real choice in our life, if we will only take the chance, and try to go in that direction, in a really new direction in our life, rather than just continuing with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, which is our only current direction, no matter how much we may "tweak" our direction on the "outside" of us, like by getting married, or getting a good education, or finding the right job, or joining the right group, or accumulating more of something, like wealth, property, children, family, influence or power, and instead, try to go "within ourselves" rather than in our current direction which is always "outside" of ourselves. So "04. No human soul, but hath a guardian over it." is the way out of the dream, the way out of a life of "separation and differences", of darkness, of hell and evil on the "inside" of us, a way of life which we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, that we see as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living on the "outside" of us, the way out of a life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women, and gold", of "body, trick, and danger", on the "outside" of us, and the way out of a life of kalam (or time) within us that is leading us to the Kalan, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, to the "suffering of the grave" within us, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, to 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, of feeling within us, an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is an eternal life of "separation from" ourselves within us, from the truth of us and the truth of God within us, of "separation from" the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. A way of life within us, that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, but that in truth is literally "blocking God" within us from completing what He has already started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, even before we came to this earth world, which is "blocking God" within us from revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is "blocking God" within us from bring to completion all of the Creation of God within us, which is "blocking God" within us from revealing the "Oneness of God and the Creation of God" within us, which in truth is True Man within us. Amen. A way of life that is literally holding each of us down on the "outside" of us as a tiny, temporary, vulnerable, relatively insignificant thing on the "outside" of us, until we physically die to the "outside" of us, when we will finally see for the first time the reality of what we have in our ignorance become, and the reality that is the truth of us and the truth of God within us that we have missed in the process, in the process of living on the "outside" of us as the reality of us, but which in truth is the falsehood of us, a truth of us and a truth of God within us that we can no longer realize because the "window of opportunity" for becoming "One with" God within us has passed away. That we can no longer realize because we have physically died to the "outside" of us, to the "window of opportunity" for our life, which is "us" living in the world on the "outside" of us, which is our "window of opportunity" for "us", the opportunity for "us" becoming the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, for "us" becoming "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, a "window of opportunity" within us which has passed away from us as soon as we physically die to the "outside" of us. The "window of opportunity" for "us" becoming "One with" the truth of us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and for becoming "One with" the truth of God within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, "allowing "truth to surrender to truth" within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, such is the "window of opportunity" within us, that we must take advantage of before it has passed us by, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or we will never become truly successful in our life time. May we all know this now and start to act accordingly. Amen. For that reality of us is within us, not "outside" of us, but that reality of us can only be found by God within us, by God harvesting the darkness within us, that we see on the "outside" of us, while we are still living in our prime on the "outside" of us, like a farmer must harvest the apples when they are at their prime on the apple tree, if the harvest is to have its optimum value, like a farmer must harvest the wheat crop at its peak, discarding the wheat plant, if that one wheat seed is to produce a 1000 wheat seeds, like God must harvest His crop, which is each of us living on the "outside" of us, if that one "Seed of God" within us is to produce the 1000 Generosities of God within us, with God discarding the plant of God both within us and on the "outside" of us, the plant of God which is us living on the "outside' of us, with in truth is everything that God has discarded within us, everything that God has discarded to become God within us. With God harvest us, harvesting the 1000 Generosities of God within us, that can transform the 4 religions, the 4 elements within us, into completeness within us, that can cause the 25 letters within the 28 mystical letters within us to differentiate within us, to become the 24 letters and the 1 letter within us, the 24 letters of the Kalimah within us, which in truth is the light and form of Iman within us, which is Islam within us, which is Iman-Islam within us, and the 25th letter within us which is the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the Morning Star within us, the Piercing Star within us, which is Iman-Islam within us, which is the "Oneness" of "us" and the "Stuff of God" within us. Amen. With the beauty of God in the heart, the Ahamd Muhammad, being the 5th name of Muhammad within us, which is the beauty of God in the heart of God reflected in the face of God, in the Muham both within us and on the "outside" of us, as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as the 6th name of Muhammad both within us and on the "outside" of us, becoming the Rasul 'Allah both within us and on the "outside" of us, becoming the wisdom of God both within us and on the "outside" of us, as the "Gift of God" for each age, taking on the 201 names of Muhammad in the world. And then becoming the Nur Muhammad within us, the 7th name of Muhammad within us, which is the light of wisdom within us, becoming the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, becoming the 6th level of wisdom within us, the Palace of the soul within us, the House of wisdom within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, as the Causal Muhammad within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. With Allah Muhammad becoming the 8th name of Muhammad within us, when the "alif" within us becomes the pillar of the "mim" within us, and again becoming Anathi Muhammad appearing as the 9th name of Muhammad within us, finally removing what separates God from God within us, finally answering God's question of God in anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, the question, "Who am I?" within us. With Aathi Muhammad, the Primal One within us, and Awwul Muhammad, the Creation of God within us, and Hayat Muhammad, the Pure Soul or life of God within us, being the first, second, and third names of Muhammad within us (blessing and peace be upon Him), in the world of souls within us, and with Annam Muhammad, the nourishment or grace of God within us, being the fourth name of Muhammad within us, and at the same time being the first name of Muhammad in the dunya within us. Amen. Then if the "True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" is established within us, with our Guru or Shaikh becoming our Soul and with us becoming His form, with us becoming the 99 wilayats or powers or attributes of God within us, as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us in the beautiful discourse, "How To Reach and Merge With God", on April 26th 1972 (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com). For then the 25 mystical letters of the 28 mystical letters within us, differentiate into the 24 letters and the 1 letter within us, into Iman-Islam within us, into the Form of the Kalimah and the Light of Wisdom within us, into the Qutb of God and the Nur Muhammad within us, or the Katpaha Virudcham, the "wish fulfilling tree" within us, into the grace of the Dhat of God within us, the Essence of God within us, which is the 6th level of wisdom within us, which is divine analytic wisdom within us, and the light of that wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad within us. Amen. And then we will begin to experience the reality of us within us, which is God within us, and all of the "Stuff of God" within us, like His 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within us. Amen. Until then all that we are is the shadow, the "Shadow of the Shaikh" within us, for as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, and teach us, "Unless the Nur and the Qutb emerge out of you, before you die to the "outside" of you, then all that you will ever experience in your life is "you" as the "shadow", as the "Shadow of the Shaikh" within you, which is the incompleteness of the Creation of God within you, and all that you will ever see is what you currently see in your ignorance on the "outside" of you, which in truth is really within you, as the lives of darkness that you have allowing in your ignorance to grow within you, and which you are now nourishing within you by your every look, thought, word, and action in the world on the "outside" of you." And, "If you do not have the form of the Iman-of-Kalimah, you cannot follow the Causal Muhammad, you will have stand alone and cry." And all of this is just like the story of a mighty oak which is literally being held down, held captive, hidden within the earth, by the thin outside cover surrounding the oak seed, constantly protecting it from being absorbed into the earth, protecting it from being destroyed by the earth, which is the state of ignorance of the oak seed before it awakens to itself, to its "oak seedness", and its "oak treeness", that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, to either accept or reject the truth of itself, that it is an "oak tree seed", that it is an "oak tree happening" within the earth that it is currently buried within, and the truth of the oak tree hidden within it, that it is a "1000 acorn seeds", that it is a "1000 acorns happening" within the "oak tree happening" within the earth that the oak seed is buried within. And if the oak tree seed accepts the truth of itself, and rejects its current life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, and then joins with the earth to destroy its falsehood and reveal its truth, that is, if it germinates, then its life will become successful in its own life time, because that is its whole question, the question of its life, will it germinate or not, because not all oak seeds buried within the earth germinate, as not all Children of God for each age, become the Light of God to the world for their age. Each must make that choice, as each oak seed must decide to germinate or not, must decide to die to its life buried within the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, or to join with the earth, to tell the story of the oak tree hidden within it, and the story of the 1000 acorns hidden within the oak tree hidden within it, that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. And like this, our mind and desire is always trying to keep us buried within the illusory life on the "outside" of us, so we can sin, keeping us ignorant of the life of God and of True Man hidden within us, which is the whole point of our life, the whole purpose of our life, which is just waiting within us to be revealed, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, just waiting until we physically die to the "outside" of us, because then it is too late for us to do anything about it, and we become subject to an eternal life of "separation from" God. We had the chance and rejected it, so what is God to do? Such is the nature of our mind and desire within us, which is always working to protect us from the Creation of God within us, from what we are in truth buried within us, as the "Seed of God" within us, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, in this way, covering us with a thin veil of consciousness, which is always plotting against what God is always doing within us, which is trying to waken us to the reality of us, so He can destroy the falsehood of us, and reveal Himself within us, and Truth Man hidden within Him within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, so our life too, like the oak seed that germinates, will become truly successful in our own lifetime. Amen. Our mind and desire within us, which is always trying to keep us ignorant of "who we really are", of "where we truly are", and of "what is really happening" in our life, in order to keep us a captive of what God has discarded within us, captive of what God discarded within us in order for God to become God within us, and if we die in this state of ignorance, keeping us in this state of ignorance for eternity within us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, for eternity. In this way, the thin covering of the oak seed buried within the earth is constantly plotting to keep the oak seed ignorant of itself, ignorant of both its "seedness" and its "treeness", always conspiring against the truth of itself, the truth that it is an "oak seed" buried within the earth, that it is the "oak tree happening" within the earth, and the truth of the oak tree hidden within it, that it contains "a 1000 acorns", that it is a "1000 acorns happening" within the "oak tree happening" within the earth. And in this way, this thin covering of the oak tree buried within the earth is stopping the mighty oak tree, and the 1000 acorns from happening, by keeping it ignorant of itself, by keeping it a captive of its "selfish" life hidden within the earth, in order to continue to nourish the "selfish" lives it supports by its ignorance way of life, the "selfish" lives which will all be destroy when the truths hidden within it are revealed, in this way, keeping the oak seed from germinating, from joining with the earth that it is buried within in order to germinate, in order to destroy its temporary, "selfish", illusory life on the "outside" of itself in the earth, and reveal the mighty oak tree hidden within it, and the 1000 acorns. That is, keeping it in a state of ignorance, until it realizes, understands, accepts, and joins with the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. And then it must decide. And like this, so too each of you have been kept in the dark, have been kept captive of the lives of "selfishness" that have grown within you, until now, with your reading this, this beautiful "Gift of God" for your age, this truth that is now naturally emerging from within you, not from the "outside" of you as it may appear to be, and certainly not from this child as it also may appear to be, but in truth from within each of you, as it did for this child over 29 years ago, because now you are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. And in this way, now you must decide, as this child had to decide over 29 years ago, about what you are now reading, which in truth is your own life speaking to you, which in truth is the truth of you and the truth of what has been hidden within you, hidden within you by God within you, a very, very long time ago, you must decide, to either accept or reject an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, as their is no other choice, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the "outside" of you, only to get an eternal life of "separation from" God, from the truth of you and from the truth of God within you, as you reward, as your eternal reward, as the harvest of you by the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, rather than by God within you, with "you" getting the crop you have grown, with "you" moving into the house that you have built. Such is the justice of God. For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us, "The justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive." May God grant you the grace of His wisdom to make the correct choice at this point in your life, as this child did over 29 years ago, to join in partnership with God within you, with the "Gift of God" for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you, in order to let God finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago.

By the 24 and the 25th letter within you, 02. Ah what will tell you what the 25th letter is within you, 03. The Nur Muhammad within you? c. Explanation of Expansion - of the "First Three Lines" of "At Tarique", which describes the first step on the "Straight Path" of God within us, or "Shari'at" within us, which is defined in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", on page 466, as "the realization of good and evil, and conducting one's life according to good), but which in truth is God showing the Iman or faith of God in God within us to God within us, to "God happening" within us, to the Light of God within us, to the Nur Muhammad within us, allowing the Light of God on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to awaken within us, to become the "Shepherd And The Tree" within us, as explained in another beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, starting on page 09, in Chapter 01 of the book, "A Mystical Journey" In this way, when looked at with wisdom, when looked at living at the feet of God for our age, which is the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, these First Three Lines in Sura or Chapter 86, of "At Tarique", of "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star", expand in truth into the following: "What will tell you what the Nur Muhammad is within you, that God placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, when God created man within you, and the fall of man within you, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, where God placed His 7th and 6th levels of consciousness or wisdom within you, but without an understanding of themselves within you, so the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) occurred within you, and the fall of each of you as well". "That is, with the fall of man as the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, which has also occurred within each of you as well, and with His recovery, the recovery of Adam (peace be upon Him) from His fall within you, and in this way, as your recovery within you, as the recovery of each of you within you, all of this, is also planned within each of you by what God created within you, and in this way, everything is perfect within you. May you all know this now without the slightest doubt and start to act accordingly, start to act as if you are "One with" God within you, because in truth you are, with you doing all of this, joined as "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, for in truth you are all "One", as God within you is "One", in this way revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you. Amen". "For the answer to the question, what is the Morning Star?, the Piercing Star, what is the 25th letter of the 28 letters, what is the Nur Muhammad?, is all contained within the answer to the question, "Who am I?, that God asked of God in the time before the beginningless beginning, in the age known as Anathi, or the age of darkness or lack of understanding within you, that preceded what you are now all experiencing as your life within you, that you currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but a time which set the wheel rolling that you are all now moving around, and around, until you die to the "outside" of you". "But before you die to the "outside" of you, you have the opportunity to truly understand it, to truly come to understand the answer to God's question of God within you, if you will only let Him, if you will only let Him answer His question, to let Him freely use what He has created within you to answer His question, for the benefit of all that He has created, which allows you to return to the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, sharing your understanding, as "One with" God within you, for eternity, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside": of you". "For in truth you are not what you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, nor are you the 4 elements that underlie this experience, nor are you the 28 letters just waiting to be revealed behind the 4, behind the 4 elements within you, that is, you are not even the mystical form just waiting to be revealed within the physical form within you, that you see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, the mystical form of light within you as well as the consciousness and power within it, you are not even this, which in truth is the Holy Trinity of God in the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, and the Triple Flame of God in the age of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, when the 25th letter is explained by the 26th, the 27th, and the 28th letter within you". "Which your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teaches you is your "soul joined with your wisdom", having liberated your soul from your impure birth, or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you (the 26th letter within you), and is "Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) having completed His 20 year journey to God within you, or Mi'raj within you, removing the final veil that separates you from God within you, or the earth world or dunya within you, revealing the next world or the hereafter or akhirah within us (the 27th letter within you), and with the 28th letter being Insan Muhammad within you. And in truth you are not any of this either". "For in truth you are of God within you, you are of what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and you are of what is left when all of this is over within you, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you". "And you are how God does all of this within you, which is to "Hide Himself" from Himself, and then "Find Himself" again, if you will only let Him, if you will willingly and freely let your current life end, so God within you can again live, live as our Iman within you, which are the 24 letters within us, the 24 letters of the kalimah within you, and then as the Nur Muhammad within you, which is the 25th letter within us, and then as the 26th letter within you which is the Palace of the Soul within you, the House of wisdom within you, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and then as Muhammad (peace be upon Him) within you opening True Prayer within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, which is the 27th letter within you, and then as Insan Muhammad, as Insan Kamil or Perfected Man within you, who has become One with God within you, before you die to the "Outside" of you, which is the 28th letter within you. Amen". "And you are everything that is beyond this, if you will only let it go, let go of what in your ignorance you have become, if you will only join in partnership with God within you to empty the cup within you, so what is next can occur within you, through your faith and trust in God alone within you. Amen". "If you can only do at least as much as what an apple seed does, and germinate, germinate to the "truth of you" and to the "truth of God" hidden within the "truth of you", in this way letting "truth surrender to truth" within you, as an apple seed does, at least most of them, having realize, understood, accepted, and joined with the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and in this way, letting itself end, letting its life of "selfishness", of "separation and differences", that it is "separate from" the earth, and from what is hidden within it, the apple seed, and from what is hidden within that, the apple fruit, in this way, letting its life buried within the earth come to an end, before it physically dies in the earth, and instead joins with the earth to tell the story of the apple tree hidden within the apple, and the story of the apple hidden within the apple tree, and within that, again the story of the apple seed hidden with the apple". "May you do at least as much as an apple seed does, and join as "One with" the Creation of God within you, which is the "Earth of God" within you, and germinate to the "Truth of you", which is the "Seed of God" within you, which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and germinate to the "Truth of God" within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within "God happening" within you, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you", which is the "truth surrendering to the truth" within the Creation of God within you". Amem." "Just as an apple seed does when it germinates to the truth within it, when buried within the earth, the apple seed germinates, having realized, understood, accepted and joined with the Truth within it, that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, it joins as "one with" the earth that it is buried within to germinate to the "Truth of itself", which is the "apple tree seed" within it, which is the "apple tree happening" within the earth that it is buried within, and to germinate to the "Truth of the apple seed" within it, which is the "apple fruit seed" within the "apple tree happening" within the earth that it is buried within, which is the "truth surrendering to the truth" within the earth that it is buried within". Amen." "Can you not do at least this much, before you die to the "outside" of you, and become "One with" God within you, by first becoming "One with" the "Stuff of God" within you, which is initially experienced within you as the soul, the wisdom, and the grace of God within you, which is the Qutb of God within you, the 6th level of wisdom within you, the Palace of the soul within you, the House of wisdom within you, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (peace be upon Him) within you, which is beautifully explained to us by His Holiness in Chapter 01, and in Chapter 02, "The Shepherd and the Tree", and "The Wondrous City", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com). Amen." "And is next experienced within you as the soul, the wisdom, and the Nur of God within you, which is the 7th level of wisdom within you, or True Prayer within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, which is beautifully explained to us by His Holiness in Chapter 05, "The Secret World of Allah", also in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", and in the beautiful song, "The Kalimah Song" (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com). Amen." "For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, in the beautiful "Kalimah Song", given to us by His Holiness on April 26, 1972, as follows: "In a state of expansion, Alif, Lam, Mim, and the Triple Flame that has become clear, becomes the Ruh (soul), the Wisdom, and the Nur (the light of wisdom), in a most mysterious form of grace, that form of grace becoming wisdom, wisdom becoming the Nur, and the Nur will become God." [Note: On April 26, 1972, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, gave us "Three Holy Gifts" from God for our age, one of which was the "Kalimah Song" referenced above. In addition, His Holiness, and God within Him, gave us two beautiful discourses, which form the very foundation of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, which is Discourse 01, "How To Merge With The Guru", and Discourse 02, "How To Reach And Merge With God". Also, His Holiness told us at that time, on April 26, 1972, that "There is One Good Day in every 100 years", and for this 100 years, which began in 1886 when His Holiness entered the world in our age, and in 1986 when His Holiness left the world in our age, for this 100 years, April 26, 1972 was that "One Good Day". Amen.] [Finally, to directly access an on-line version of these "Three Holy Gifts" for our age, please click on the following: 1) The Kalimah Song (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com) 2) Discourse 01, "How To Merge With The Guru" (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) 3) Discourse 02, "How To Reach And Merge With God" (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com)] 4-2.

Amen] c. Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 4" of Chapter 86 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. "For as your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and God within Him, teach you on page 6, in the "Forward" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Man appearing on this earth forgets God, and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man. This "Guru Mani or Pearl of Wisdom", is (provided) to explain (to you) in detail this concept (of Tawhid, or the affirmation of the Unity of God, within each of you. Amen." "And this is why His Holiness told you one day, "In-the-room", "I have not come for you. I have come to awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the "Enemy of your soul". "And upon hearing this, this child immediately asked Bawa, "O Bawa, who is the enemy of my soul?" "And Bawa looked at this child and said, "You!" "Such is the clarity that must dawn within each of you before it is too late, before you physically die to the world on the "outside" of you, because this is only the first of "God's Schools", this earth world or dunya within you, that you currently see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, this is the "School of Contrast" where, if you like, you can join in partnership with God within you to learn about what is "separating you" from God within you, and "separating you" from all of the "Stuff of God" within you, like from all of the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within you, which are just waiting to be revealed within you, if you will only let Them." "Separating you" from all of the "Stuff of God" within you, which is just waiting to be revealed within you, which is just like all of the "apple tree stuff" that is hidden within each apple seed buried within the earth, like the "apple tree", the "apple fruit", and again the "apple seed", all of which is just waiting within each apple seed buried within the earth to be revealed, by the apple seed joined with the earth, if it will only let them be revealed, if it will only realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of itself", and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it, a truth that naturally emerges from within the apple seed when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it." "The "truth of itself", the truth that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it", the truth that the earth contains everything necessary for the "apple tree" hidden within the apple seed to grow." "In this way, if the apple seed buried within the earth will only let the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, if having realized, understood, accepted, and joined with the "truth of itself", and with the "truth of what is hidden" within it, the truth of the "apple tree" hidden within it, if it will only realize and accept this truth and then join with the earth that it is buried within, in order to germinate". "In order to tell the story of the apple tree within the story of the apple hidden within it, and to tell the story of the apple within the story of the apple tree hidden within it, if it will only do this, if it will only tell these stories hidden within it, and not just continue to live a life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, until it physically dies in the earth, living a life of "selfishness" as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the stories of the apple tree and of the apples hidden within it, until it dies in the earth. Amen." "If it will only do this, before it physically dies within the earth, before it rots in the earth, and is absorbed into the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, forever breaking its connection to the story of the apple tree hidden within it, within the apple within it, and the story of the apple hidden within it, within the apple tree within it, the stories that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell". "If it will only do this, if it will only join as "one with" the earth that it is buried within, in order to destroy itself, in order to destroy its current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of itself in the earth, and instead, joining as "one with" the earth to reveal the life of "selflessness" hidden within it, the life of "selflessness" hidden within it that is just waiting to be revealed from within it, from within its life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of itself, its life of "selflessness" which is the life of the apple tree hidden within it, which will then selflessly reveal the life of all of the "apple fruits" hidden within it, from all of its mature branches, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God that live on it, that live above it, and that live beneath it, including each of you. Amen." "In this way, can you not do at least as much as an apple seed? And join with the "Earth of God" within you, which is the Creation of God within you, where the "Seed of God" has been hidden by God within you, just waiting to germinate, just waiting to join as "One with" the Creation of God within you to destroy your current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, and replace it with the life of "selflessness" within you, the life of the purified and liberated soul within you". "Which is the life of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which has been hidden by God within you, within your current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, hidden by God within you, within your current life of sin on the "outside" of you, which is your current life of "separation and differences", your current life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion" on the "outside" of you, your current life of "desire for earth, women (either to have a women, or to be a women, it is all the same), and of desire for gold" on the "outside" of you, and your current life of "body, trick, and danger" on the "outside" of you, when in truth there is no danger, for man has no natural enemies, with all of this being seen by you in your ignorance as occurring on the "outside" of you, but which in truth is occurring within you, in the world of darkness within you, in the worlds of hell and of evil within you that in your ignorance you have allowed to grow within you, and come to maturity within you." "In this way, this is your work, your "Heart's Work" within you, to awaken the "wisdom surrounding your soul" with the "Gift of God" for your age, with the life and teaching of God for your age, for the Children of God for your age, which for your age, is the life and teaching of your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you. Amen." "Allowing the "wisdom surrounding your soul" to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", if you will only let it, if you will only join as "one with" it within you, in order to do this "Heart's Work" within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, in order to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is your current life on the "outside" of you, which is each of you living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" with your dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you. Amen." "Such is the significance of this fourth line in this beautiful Sura or Chapter of the Holy Qur'an, of Sura or Chapter 86, "At Tarique", the "Night Visitant or the Morning Star", my dearest loving brothers and sisters." "For in the first three lines of Chapter 86, of "At Tarique" God teaches you of "what you must do" to become "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, which is to become "One with" the "Light of your wisdom", which is the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, by becoming the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within you, by becoming the "Understanding of the Nur Muhammad" within you, in this way, allowing True Prayer to occur within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you. Amen". "And now in this fourth line, God starts to teach you about "how to do this", about how you become "One with" God within you before you die to the "outside" of you. "That is, you must awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul with the "Gift of God" for your age, with the life and teaching of God for your age, and then join as "One with" your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from the cross of your elemental body, from the cross of your impure birth, in this way, you must join as "One with" your wisdom to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", to do battle with "you" living a life of sin on the "outside" of you, you must join as "One with" your wisdom to do battle against your current life of "selfishness", your current life of sin, your current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. Amen." "May this become your true intention within you, to join as "One with" God within you, by first joining as "One with" your wisdom within you, to complete what God has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (or earth world or dunya) within you, by first revealing True Man to True Man within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (or the hereafter or akhirah) within you, and to do all of this before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen." "May God grant you the grace of His wisdom, may He fill your hearts with His grace, allowing you join in partnership with God within you to do this "Heart's Work" within you, to awaken and join with your wisdom within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen." "Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar." 4-3.

So let man consider from what he is created [He is created, that is, he is given a form in the earth world, in the dunya, so he can live in the earth world, in the dunya, by covering over what he already is, which is a soul living in the world of souls, covering over that pure birth with an impure birth, with the earth world of illusion, with the dunya, with what is required to live a life of impurity, a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences", a life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", a life of "desire for earth, women, and gold", a life of "body, trick, and danger", in the world that we now see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within each of us, which in truth is the world of darkness or lack of understanding within us, the world of hell and evil within us, which in our ignorance we have allowed to grow and come to maturity within us, and which now in its maturity is nourished within us by our every look, thought, word, and action of "separation and differences", our every sin, in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. b-2. Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 5" of Chapter 86 In this way, covering over what we were before this impure birth, which is a pure birth, a soul in the world of souls, but without an understanding of that pure birth, a little light in direct communion with God within us, with the big light within us, but without the ability to come to an understanding of itself, since our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us, that, "Understanding only occurs through contrast" And in the world of soul, even though we are in direct communion with God within us, and God is constantly trying to teach us about "who we are", and about "where we are", and about what is truly "happening in our life", we cannot get it, we cannot come to an understanding of these things, because we have no contrast to "who we are", and to "where we are", and to "what is happening", we have no impurity to act as a contrast to our purity, so understanding of our purity can occur. So God creates a "School of Contrast" within us so understanding can occur within us, and then God sends us to that "School of Contrasts" within us, where we learn about everything that "separates us" from God within us, and within that "School of Contrasts" within us, which in truth is the earth world, the dunya within us, God places everything that we need to learn, in order to return to our original state of purity within us, the state of purity within us that we were in before coming to this "School of Contrasts" within us, so we can again be in direct communion with God within us, as a pure soul within us, and continue our learning about God within us, but now with an understanding of our purity, an understanding of everything that "separates us" from God within us, so that purity within us will never leave us again, so we will never be "separated from" God again within us, and so we can share our understanding of the purity of God within us with God within us for eternity. For properly learning all of our lessons, and graduating from this "School of Contrasts" within us, must all occur before we physically die to the "outside" of us, because leaning in this "School of Contrast" can only occur while we are living on the "outside" of us, and after death is the time for us to move onto the next "School of God", because this "School of Contrast" is just the first of several "Schools of God" that God has prepared for us. And by God providing a guardian for the soul, which is the wisdom surrounding his soul, which is capable of doing battle with the "Enemy of the soul", which is the natural result of an unchecked growth of the "Enemy of the soul", of the earth world, the dunya, the lives of darkness or lack of understanding, over the soul, while the guardian of the soul, the wisdom surrounding the soul is still sleeping, is still waiting to be awakened by the "Gift of God" for our age, by the life and teaching of God for our age for the Children of God for our age, which for our age, is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. Such is the significance of man considering "from what he is created". Amen. c. Expanded Version & Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 6 & 7" of Chapter 86 c-1.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Here is the start of a beautiful review of the Holy Qur'an that our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, have instructed this child to perform, living at the feet of Bawa within us, and of God within Him, and which They have instructed this child to review with you, as it progresses, with the Children of God for our age, because in truth there is only "One" of us, as there is only "One" God within us, and in truth "They are One" within us, just waiting for us within us, to let Them get on with it within us, get on with what They have started within us, which is to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. Please reflect on these words of wisdom a little, as well as the words to follow, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, because it is very important. There is not a lot of time left, for any of us, and still a lot to do, before our time on the "outside" of us is over, and we must harvest the crop we have grown, and move into the house that we have build. May ours be the best of crops, and the most beautiful of houses. Amen.

Summary of Chapter 86 - of "At Tarique", of "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star" a. Summary of "First Three Lines" of Chapter 86 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. 01. By the heaven and the Morning Star. 02. Ah, what will tell thee what the morning Star Is? 03. The piercing Star? The heaven and the Morning Star refers to the 25 of the 28 letters within us, to the 28 letter mystical form within us that is the essence of the 5 letter form within us, the 5 elemental form of earth, fire, air, water, air and ether within us, the 28 letters within us which are seen within us, when we see the 5 within us in their true state, not as we are currently experiencing them, as the 6 faces within us, or the 5 Ruhanies or elemental spirits within us, but rather as the 5 Angels (peace be upon Them) within us, as the Angels Gabriel, Michael, Israf'el, Israi'el, and Rui'el (peace be upon Them) within us, without the arrogance, karma, and illusion of the "co-operative store" within us that forms when these 5 fall out of the state of the Kalimah within us, of the affirmation of the Unity of Allah within us, out of surrender to the Feet of God within us, and become the 5 Ruhanies within us. Amen. For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, their are two directions that our life can take, for God has given us a choice, God has given us two paths to follow, and which one we take is our choice, not God's choice, because God has already made His choice, and it is the path of "Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, and of Compassion and Unity" within us, and that is why we are alive on the "outside" of us, to now make our choice, to choose between an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within us, or an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, and to make this choice before we physically die to the "outside" of us. May we all join in partnership with God within us, as "One with" God and with the "Stuff of God" within us, to make the right choice within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, and in this way, let our "outside" peacefully come to an end, both within us and on the "outside", so God within us can finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within, and in this way, stop working for wages to get into heaven. Amen. b. Summary of "Line 4" - "No human soul but hath a guardian over it" And so this is the answer to all of our questions about God, and about "who God is", and "where God" is, and "who we are", and "where we are", and of our relationships with God, both before and now, and "what is to become of us". And the answer is so simple, if we will only step back for a moment from what "we think" is currently happening to us, and from what we "think we know", for example, from how we got to be "living on" the "outside" of us, living a temporary, mortal life, on the "outside" of us, from how we got to be this body that we see living in the world on the "outside" of us, a body that is currently the center of our universe, living in a world that is all around us, a world that seems so large and that we really know so little about, but a world that appears to be potentially both beautiful and very, very dangerous at the same time, a world that makes us appear very tiny, and dangerously vulnerable in comparison. So line 4 in this beautiful Sura or Chapter from the Holy Qur'an, from Chapter 86 or "At Tarique", the Night Visitant or the Morning Star, contains an opening to a whole new way of existing, a whole new way of looking at ourselves, and at God, and at our own life, if we will only take the great leap, make the only real choice in our life, if we will only take the chance, and try to go in that direction, in a really new direction in our life, rather than just continuing with "business as usual" on the "outside" of us, which is our only current direction, no matter how much we may "tweak" our direction on the "outside" of us, like by getting married, or getting a good education, or finding the right job, or joining the right group, or accumulating more of something, like wealth, property, children, family, influence or power, and instead, try to go "within ourselves" rather than in our current direction which is always "outside" of ourselves. So "04. No human soul, but hath a guardian over it." is the way out of the dream, the way out of a life of "separation and differences", of darkness, of hell and evil on the "inside" of us, a way of life which we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, that we see as "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living on the "outside" of us, the way out of a life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", of "desire for earth, women, and gold", of "body, trick, and danger", on the "outside" of us, and the way out of a life of kalam (or time) within us that is leading us to the Kalan, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, to the "suffering of the grave" within us, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, to 105 million rebirths within us, ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, of feeling within us, an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is an eternal life of "separation from" ourselves within us, from the truth of us and the truth of God within us, of "separation from" the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us. Amen. A way of life within us, that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, but that in truth is literally "blocking God" within us from completing what He has already started within each of us, a very, very long time ago, even before we came to this earth world, which is "blocking God" within us from revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, which is "blocking God" within us from bring to completion all of the Creation of God within us, which is "blocking God" within us from revealing the "Oneness of God and the Creation of God" within us, which in truth is True Man within us. Amen. A way of life that is literally holding each of us down on the "outside" of us as a tiny, temporary, vulnerable, relatively insignificant thing on the "outside" of us, until we physically die to the "outside" of us, when we will finally see for the first time the reality of what we have in our ignorance become, and the reality that is the truth of us and the truth of God within us that we have missed in the process, in the process of living on the "outside" of us as the reality of us, but which in truth is the falsehood of us, a truth of us and a truth of God within us that we can no longer realize because the "window of opportunity" for becoming "One with" God within us has passed away. That we can no longer realize because we have physically died to the "outside" of us, to the "window of opportunity" for our life, which is "us" living in the world on the "outside" of us, which is our "window of opportunity" for "us", the opportunity for "us" becoming the "Seed of God" within the "Earth of God" within us, for "us" becoming "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, a "window of opportunity" within us which has passed away from us as soon as we physically die to the "outside" of us. The "window of opportunity" for "us" becoming "One with" the truth of us, which is the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and for becoming "One with" the truth of God within us, which is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, "allowing "truth to surrender to truth" within us, before we die to the "outside" of us, such is the "window of opportunity" within us, that we must take advantage of before it has passed us by, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or we will never become truly successful in our life time. May we all know this now and start to act accordingly. Amen. For that reality of us is within us, not "outside" of us, but that reality of us can only be found by God within us, by God harvesting the darkness within us, that we see on the "outside" of us, while we are still living in our prime on the "outside" of us, like a farmer must harvest the apples when they are at their prime on the apple tree, if the harvest is to have its optimum value, like a farmer must harvest the wheat crop at its peak, discarding the wheat plant, if that one wheat seed is to produce a 1000 wheat seeds, like God must harvest His crop, which is each of us living on the "outside" of us, if that one "Seed of God" within us is to produce the 1000 Generosities of God within us, with God discarding the plant of God both within us and on the "outside" of us, the plant of God which is us living on the "outside' of us, with in truth is everything that God has discarded within us, everything that God has discarded to become God within us. With God harvest us, harvesting the 1000 Generosities of God within us, that can transform the 4 religions, the 4 elements within us, into completeness within us, that can cause the 25 letters within the 28 mystical letters within us to differentiate within us, to become the 24 letters and the 1 letter within us, the 24 letters of the Kalimah within us, which in truth is the light and form of Iman within us, which is Islam within us, which is Iman-Islam within us, and the 25th letter within us which is the Nur Muhammad within us, which is the Morning Star within us, the Piercing Star within us, which is Iman-Islam within us, which is the "Oneness" of "us" and the "Stuff of God" within us. Amen. With the beauty of God in the heart, the Ahamd Muhammad, being the 5th name of Muhammad within us, which is the beauty of God in the heart of God reflected in the face of God, in the Muham both within us and on the "outside" of us, as Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, as the 6th name of Muhammad both within us and on the "outside" of us, becoming the Rasul 'Allah both within us and on the "outside" of us, becoming the wisdom of God both within us and on the "outside" of us, as the "Gift of God" for each age, taking on the 201 names of Muhammad in the world. And then becoming the Nur Muhammad within us, the 7th name of Muhammad within us, which is the light of wisdom within us, becoming the "Shepherd and the Tree" within us, becoming the 6th level of wisdom within us, the Palace of the soul within us, the House of wisdom within us, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, as the Causal Muhammad within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us. With Allah Muhammad becoming the 8th name of Muhammad within us, when the "alif" within us becomes the pillar of the "mim" within us, and again becoming Anathi Muhammad appearing as the 9th name of Muhammad within us, finally removing what separates God from God within us, finally answering God's question of God in anathi, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding, the question, "Who am I?" within us. With Aathi Muhammad, the Primal One within us, and Awwul Muhammad, the Creation of God within us, and Hayat Muhammad, the Pure Soul or life of God within us, being the first, second, and third names of Muhammad within us (blessing and peace be upon Him), in the world of souls within us, and with Annam Muhammad, the nourishment or grace of God within us, being the fourth name of Muhammad within us, and at the same time being the first name of Muhammad in the dunya within us. Amen. Then if the "True Shaikh-Disciple Relationship" is established within us, with our Guru or Shaikh becoming our Soul and with us becoming His form, with us becoming the 99 wilayats or powers or attributes of God within us, as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us in the beautiful discourse, "How To Reach and Merge With God", on April 26th 1972 (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com). For then the 25 mystical letters of the 28 mystical letters within us, differentiate into the 24 letters and the 1 letter within us, into Iman-Islam within us, into the Form of the Kalimah and the Light of Wisdom within us, into the Qutb of God and the Nur Muhammad within us, or the Katpaha Virudcham, the "wish fulfilling tree" within us, into the grace of the Dhat of God within us, the Essence of God within us, which is the 6th level of wisdom within us, which is divine analytic wisdom within us, and the light of that wisdom, which is the Nur Muhammad within us. Amen. And then we will begin to experience the reality of us within us, which is God within us, and all of the "Stuff of God" within us, like His 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within us. Amen. Until then all that we are is the shadow, the "Shadow of the Shaikh" within us, for as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, and teach us, "Unless the Nur and the Qutb emerge out of you, before you die to the "outside" of you, then all that you will ever experience in your life is "you" as the "shadow", as the "Shadow of the Shaikh" within you, which is the incompleteness of the Creation of God within you, and all that you will ever see is what you currently see in your ignorance on the "outside" of you, which in truth is really within you, as the lives of darkness that you have allowing in your ignorance to grow within you, and which you are now nourishing within you by your every look, thought, word, and action in the world on the "outside" of you." And, "If you do not have the form of the Iman-of-Kalimah, you cannot follow the Causal Muhammad, you will have stand alone and cry." And all of this is just like the story of a mighty oak which is literally being held down, held captive, hidden within the earth, by the thin outside cover surrounding the oak seed, constantly protecting it from being absorbed into the earth, protecting it from being destroyed by the earth, which is the state of ignorance of the oak seed before it awakens to itself, to its "oak seedness", and its "oak treeness", that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept it or reject it, to either accept or reject the truth of itself, that it is an "oak tree seed", that it is an "oak tree happening" within the earth that it is currently buried within, and the truth of the oak tree hidden within it, that it is a "1000 acorn seeds", that it is a "1000 acorns happening" within the "oak tree happening" within the earth that the oak seed is buried within. And if the oak tree seed accepts the truth of itself, and rejects its current life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, and then joins with the earth to destroy its falsehood and reveal its truth, that is, if it germinates, then its life will become successful in its own life time, because that is its whole question, the question of its life, will it germinate or not, because not all oak seeds buried within the earth germinate, as not all Children of God for each age, become the Light of God to the world for their age. Each must make that choice, as each oak seed must decide to germinate or not, must decide to die to its life buried within the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within it, or to join with the earth, to tell the story of the oak tree hidden within it, and the story of the 1000 acorns hidden within the oak tree hidden within it, that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. And like this, our mind and desire is always trying to keep us buried within the illusory life on the "outside" of us, so we can sin, keeping us ignorant of the life of God and of True Man hidden within us, which is the whole point of our life, the whole purpose of our life, which is just waiting within us to be revealed, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, just waiting until we physically die to the "outside" of us, because then it is too late for us to do anything about it, and we become subject to an eternal life of "separation from" God. We had the chance and rejected it, so what is God to do? Such is the nature of our mind and desire within us, which is always working to protect us from the Creation of God within us, from what we are in truth buried within us, as the "Seed of God" within us, as "God happening" within the Creation of God within us, in this way, covering us with a thin veil of consciousness, which is always plotting against what God is always doing within us, which is trying to waken us to the reality of us, so He can destroy the falsehood of us, and reveal Himself within us, and Truth Man hidden within Him within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us, so our life too, like the oak seed that germinates, will become truly successful in our own lifetime. Amen. Our mind and desire within us, which is always trying to keep us ignorant of "who we really are", of "where we truly are", and of "what is really happening" in our life, in order to keep us a captive of what God has discarded within us, captive of what God discarded within us in order for God to become God within us, and if we die in this state of ignorance, keeping us in this state of ignorance for eternity within us, as "separate from" God within us, as "separate from" the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, for eternity. In this way, the thin covering of the oak seed buried within the earth is constantly plotting to keep the oak seed ignorant of itself, ignorant of both its "seedness" and its "treeness", always conspiring against the truth of itself, the truth that it is an "oak seed" buried within the earth, that it is the "oak tree happening" within the earth, and the truth of the oak tree hidden within it, that it contains "a 1000 acorns", that it is a "1000 acorns happening" within the "oak tree happening" within the earth. And in this way, this thin covering of the oak tree buried within the earth is stopping the mighty oak tree, and the 1000 acorns from happening, by keeping it ignorant of itself, by keeping it a captive of its "selfish" life hidden within the earth, in order to continue to nourish the "selfish" lives it supports by its ignorance way of life, the "selfish" lives which will all be destroy when the truths hidden within it are revealed, in this way, keeping the oak seed from germinating, from joining with the earth that it is buried within in order to germinate, in order to destroy its temporary, "selfish", illusory life on the "outside" of itself in the earth, and reveal the mighty oak tree hidden within it, and the 1000 acorns. That is, keeping it in a state of ignorance, until it realizes, understands, accepts, and joins with the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, that naturally emerges from within it, when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. And then it must decide. And like this, so too each of you have been kept in the dark, have been kept captive of the lives of "selfishness" that have grown within you, until now, with your reading this, this beautiful "Gift of God" for your age, this truth that is now naturally emerging from within you, not from the "outside" of you as it may appear to be, and certainly not from this child as it also may appear to be, but in truth from within each of you, as it did for this child over 29 years ago, because now you are ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it. And in this way, now you must decide, as this child had to decide over 29 years ago, about what you are now reading, which in truth is your own life speaking to you, which in truth is the truth of you and the truth of what has been hidden within you, hidden within you by God within you, a very, very long time ago, you must decide, to either accept or reject an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, as their is no other choice, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue with "business as usual" on the "outside" of you, until you physically die to the "outside" of you, only to get an eternal life of "separation from" God, from the truth of you and from the truth of God within you, as you reward, as your eternal reward, as the harvest of you by the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within you, rather than by God within you, with "you" getting the crop you have grown, with "you" moving into the house that you have built. Such is the justice of God. For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us, "The justice of God is that whatever you intend is what you will receive." May God grant you the grace of His wisdom to make the correct choice at this point in your life, as this child did over 29 years ago, to join in partnership with God within you, with the "Gift of God" for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you, in order to let God finish what God has started within you, a very, very long time ago. Amen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. c.

By the 24 and the 25th letter within you, 02. Ah what will tell you what the 25th letter is within you, 03. The Nur Muhammad within you? c. Explanation of Expansion - of the "First Three Lines" of "At Tarique", which describes the first step on the "Straight Path" of God within us, or "Shari'at" within us, which is defined in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", on page 466, as "the realization of good and evil, and conducting one's life according to good), but which in truth is God showing the Iman or faith of God in God within us to God within us, to "God happening" within us, to the Light of God within us, to the Nur Muhammad within us, allowing the Light of God on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to awaken within us, to become the "Shepherd And The Tree" within us, as explained in another beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, starting on page 09, in Chapter 01 of the book, "A Mystical Journey" In this way, when looked at with wisdom, when looked at living at the feet of God for our age, which is the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, these First Three Lines in Sura or Chapter 86, of "At Tarique", of "The Night Visitant or the Morning Star", expand in truth into the following: "What will tell you what the Nur Muhammad is within you, that God placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, when God created man within you, and the fall of man within you, within Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, where God placed His 7th and 6th levels of consciousness or wisdom within you, but without an understanding of themselves within you, so the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) occurred within you, and the fall of each of you as well". "That is, with the fall of man as the Children of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, which has also occurred within each of you as well, and with His recovery, the recovery of Adam (peace be upon Him) from His fall within you, and in this way, as your recovery within you, as the recovery of each of you within you, all of this, is also planned within each of you by what God created within you, and in this way, everything is perfect within you. May you all know this now without the slightest doubt and start to act accordingly, start to act as if you are "One with" God within you, because in truth you are, with you doing all of this, joined as "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, for in truth you are all "One", as God within you is "One", in this way revealing the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you. Amen". "For the answer to the question, what is the Morning Star?, the Piercing Star, what is the 25th letter of the 28 letters, what is the Nur Muhammad?, is all contained within the answer to the question, "Who am I?, that God asked of God in the time before the beginningless beginning, in the age known as Anathi, or the age of darkness or lack of understanding within you, that preceded what you are now all experiencing as your life within you, that you currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, but a time which set the wheel rolling that you are all now moving around, and around, until you die to the "outside" of you". "But before you die to the "outside" of you, you have the opportunity to truly understand it, to truly come to understand the answer to God's question of God within you, if you will only let Him, if you will only let Him answer His question, to let Him freely use what He has created within you to answer His question, for the benefit of all that He has created, which allows you to return to the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, sharing your understanding, as "One with" God within you, for eternity, before it is too late, before you die to the "outside": of you". "For in truth you are not what you are currently experiencing on the "outside" of you, nor are you the 4 elements that underlie this experience, nor are you the 28 letters just waiting to be revealed behind the 4, behind the 4 elements within you, that is, you are not even the mystical form just waiting to be revealed within the physical form within you, that you see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, the mystical form of light within you as well as the consciousness and power within it, you are not even this, which in truth is the Holy Trinity of God in the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, and the Triple Flame of God in the age of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within you, when the 25th letter is explained by the 26th, the 27th, and the 28th letter within you". "Which your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teaches you is your "soul joined with your wisdom", having liberated your soul from your impure birth, or Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you (the 26th letter within you), and is "Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) having completed His 20 year journey to God within you, or Mi'raj within you, removing the final veil that separates you from God within you, or the earth world or dunya within you, revealing the next world or the hereafter or akhirah within us (the 27th letter within you), and with the 28th letter being Insan Muhammad within you. And in truth you are not any of this either". "For in truth you are of God within you, you are of what God is doing within you, which is revealing God to God within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and you are of what is left when all of this is over within you, which is the "Oneness of God and True Man" within you, which in truth is God and True Man within you". "And you are how God does all of this within you, which is to "Hide Himself" from Himself, and then "Find Himself" again, if you will only let Him, if you will willingly and freely let your current life end, so God within you can again live, live as our Iman within you, which are the 24 letters within us, the 24 letters of the kalimah within you, and then as the Nur Muhammad within you, which is the 25th letter within us, and then as the 26th letter within you which is the Palace of the Soul within you, the House of wisdom within you, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and then as Muhammad (peace be upon Him) within you opening True Prayer within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, which is the 27th letter within you, and then as Insan Muhammad, as Insan Kamil or Perfected Man within you, who has become One with God within you, before you die to the "Outside" of you, which is the 28th letter within you. Amen". "And you are everything that is beyond this, if you will only let it go, let go of what in your ignorance you have become, if you will only join in partnership with God within you to empty the cup within you, so what is next can occur within you, through your faith and trust in God alone within you. Amen". "If you can only do at least as much as what an apple seed does, and germinate, germinate to the "truth of you" and to the "truth of God" hidden within the "truth of you", in this way letting "truth surrender to truth" within you, as an apple seed does, at least most of them, having realize, understood, accepted, and joined with the truth of itself, and the truth of what is hidden within it, and in this way, letting itself end, letting its life of "selfishness", of "separation and differences", that it is "separate from" the earth, and from what is hidden within it, the apple seed, and from what is hidden within that, the apple fruit, in this way, letting its life buried within the earth come to an end, before it physically dies in the earth, and instead joins with the earth to tell the story of the apple tree hidden within the apple, and the story of the apple hidden within the apple tree, and within that, again the story of the apple seed hidden with the apple". "May you do at least as much as an apple seed does, and join as "One with" the Creation of God within you, which is the "Earth of God" within you, and germinate to the "Truth of you", which is the "Seed of God" within you, which is "God happening" within the Creation of God within you, and germinate to the "Truth of God" within you, which is the "Seed of True Man" within "God happening" within you, which is "True Man happening" within "God happening" within the Creation of God within you", which is the "truth surrendering to the truth" within the Creation of God within you". Amem." "Just as an apple seed does when it germinates to the truth within it, when buried within the earth, the apple seed germinates, having realized, understood, accepted and joined with the Truth within it, that naturally emerges from within it when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it, it joins as "one with" the earth that it is buried within to germinate to the "Truth of itself", which is the "apple tree seed" within it, which is the "apple tree happening" within the earth that it is buried within, and to germinate to the "Truth of the apple seed" within it, which is the "apple fruit seed" within the "apple tree happening" within the earth that it is buried within, which is the "truth surrendering to the truth" within the earth that it is buried within". Amen." "Can you not do at least this much, before you die to the "outside" of you, and become "One with" God within you, by first becoming "One with" the "Stuff of God" within you, which is initially experienced within you as the soul, the wisdom, and the grace of God within you, which is the Qutb of God within you, the 6th level of wisdom within you, the Palace of the soul within you, the House of wisdom within you, the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (peace be upon Him) within you, which is beautifully explained to us by His Holiness in Chapter 01, and in Chapter 02, "The Shepherd and the Tree", and "The Wondrous City", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey" (www.AMysticalJourney.homestead.com). Amen." "And is next experienced within you as the soul, the wisdom, and the Nur of God within you, which is the 7th level of wisdom within you, or True Prayer within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you, which is beautifully explained to us by His Holiness in Chapter 05, "The Secret World of Allah", also in the beautiful book of wisdom, "A Mystical Journey", and in the beautiful song, "The Kalimah Song" (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com). Amen." "For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, in the beautiful "Kalimah Song", given to us by His Holiness on April 26, 1972, as follows: "In a state of expansion, Alif, Lam, Mim, and the Triple Flame that has become clear, becomes the Ruh (soul), the Wisdom, and the Nur (the light of wisdom), in a most mysterious form of grace, that form of grace becoming wisdom, wisdom becoming the Nur, and the Nur will become God." [Note: On April 26, 1972, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, gave us "Three Holy Gifts" from God for our age, one of which was the "Kalimah Song" referenced above. In addition, His Holiness, and God within Him, gave us two beautiful discourses, which form the very foundation of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, which is Discourse 01, "How To Merge With The Guru", and Discourse 02, "How To Reach And Merge With God". Also, His Holiness told us at that time, on April 26, 1972, that "There is One Good Day in every 100 years", and for this 100 years, which began in 1886 when His Holiness entered the world in our age, and in 1986 when His Holiness left the world in our age, for this 100 years, April 26, 1972 was that "One Good Day". Amen.] [Finally, to directly access an on-line version of these "Three Holy Gifts" for our age, please click on the following: 1) The Kalimah Song (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com) 2) Discourse 01, "How To Merge With The Guru" (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) 3) Discourse 02, "How To Reach And Merge With God" (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com)] 4-2.

Amen] c. Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 4" of Chapter 86 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. "For as your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and God within Him, teach you on page 6, in the "Forward" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Man appearing on this earth forgets God, and falls into many a trap. He does not know to seek himself, although God exists within man. This "Guru Mani or Pearl of Wisdom", is (provided) to explain (to you) in detail this concept (of Tawhid, or the affirmation of the Unity of God, within each of you. Amen." "And this is why His Holiness told you one day, "In-the-room", "I have not come for you. I have come to awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the "Enemy of your soul". "And upon hearing this, this child immediately asked Bawa, "O Bawa, who is the enemy of my soul?" "And Bawa looked at this child and said, "You!" "Such is the clarity that must dawn within each of you before it is too late, before you physically die to the world on the "outside" of you, because this is only the first of "God's Schools", this earth world or dunya within you, that you currently see in your ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you, this is the "School of Contrast" where, if you like, you can join in partnership with God within you to learn about what is "separating you" from God within you, and "separating you" from all of the "Stuff of God" within you, like from all of the 124,000 Prophets, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God within you, which are just waiting to be revealed within you, if you will only let Them." "Separating you" from all of the "Stuff of God" within you, which is just waiting to be revealed within you, which is just like all of the "apple tree stuff" that is hidden within each apple seed buried within the earth, like the "apple tree", the "apple fruit", and again the "apple seed", all of which is just waiting within each apple seed buried within the earth to be revealed, by the apple seed joined with the earth, if it will only let them be revealed, if it will only realize, understand, accept, and join with the "truth of itself", and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it, a truth that naturally emerges from within the apple seed when it is ready to hear it, and ready to either accept or reject it." "The "truth of itself", the truth that it is an apple seed buried within the earth, and the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it", the truth that the earth contains everything necessary for the "apple tree" hidden within the apple seed to grow." "In this way, if the apple seed buried within the earth will only let the "truth surrender to the truth" within it, if having realized, understood, accepted, and joined with the "truth of itself", and with the "truth of what is hidden" within it, the truth of the "apple tree" hidden within it, if it will only realize and accept this truth and then join with the earth that it is buried within, in order to germinate". "In order to tell the story of the apple tree within the story of the apple hidden within it, and to tell the story of the apple within the story of the apple tree hidden within it, if it will only do this, if it will only tell these stories hidden within it, and not just continue to live a life of "selfishness" buried within the earth, until it physically dies in the earth, living a life of "selfishness" as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" the stories of the apple tree and of the apples hidden within it, until it dies in the earth. Amen." "If it will only do this, before it physically dies within the earth, before it rots in the earth, and is absorbed into the earth, taking on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, forever breaking its connection to the story of the apple tree hidden within it, within the apple within it, and the story of the apple hidden within it, within the apple tree within it, the stories that it came to the earth, to join with the earth, to tell". "If it will only do this, if it will only join as "one with" the earth that it is buried within, in order to destroy itself, in order to destroy its current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of itself in the earth, and instead, joining as "one with" the earth to reveal the life of "selflessness" hidden within it, the life of "selflessness" hidden within it that is just waiting to be revealed from within it, from within its life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of itself, its life of "selflessness" which is the life of the apple tree hidden within it, which will then selflessly reveal the life of all of the "apple fruits" hidden within it, from all of its mature branches, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God that live on it, that live above it, and that live beneath it, including each of you. Amen." "In this way, can you not do at least as much as an apple seed? And join with the "Earth of God" within you, which is the Creation of God within you, where the "Seed of God" has been hidden by God within you, just waiting to germinate, just waiting to join as "One with" the Creation of God within you to destroy your current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, and replace it with the life of "selflessness" within you, the life of the purified and liberated soul within you". "Which is the life of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, which has been hidden by God within you, within your current life of "selfishness" on the "outside" of you, hidden by God within you, within your current life of sin on the "outside" of you, which is your current life of "separation and differences", your current life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion" on the "outside" of you, your current life of "desire for earth, women (either to have a women, or to be a women, it is all the same), and of desire for gold" on the "outside" of you, and your current life of "body, trick, and danger" on the "outside" of you, when in truth there is no danger, for man has no natural enemies, with all of this being seen by you in your ignorance as occurring on the "outside" of you, but which in truth is occurring within you, in the world of darkness within you, in the worlds of hell and of evil within you that in your ignorance you have allowed to grow within you, and come to maturity within you." "In this way, this is your work, your "Heart's Work" within you, to awaken the "wisdom surrounding your soul" with the "Gift of God" for your age, with the life and teaching of God for your age, for the Children of God for your age, which for your age, is the life and teaching of your Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), both within you and on the "outside" of you. Amen." "Allowing the "wisdom surrounding your soul" to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", if you will only let it, if you will only join as "one with" it within you, in order to do this "Heart's Work" within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, in order to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is your current life on the "outside" of you, which is each of you living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" with your dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that you see in your collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of you. Amen." "Such is the significance of this fourth line in this beautiful Sura or Chapter of the Holy Qur'an, of Sura or Chapter 86, "At Tarique", the "Night Visitant or the Morning Star", my dearest loving brothers and sisters." "For in the first three lines of Chapter 86, of "At Tarique" God teaches you of "what you must do" to become "One with" God within you, before you die to the "outside" of you, which is to become "One with" the "Light of your wisdom", which is the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, by becoming the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within you, by becoming the "Understanding of the Nur Muhammad" within you, in this way, allowing True Prayer to occur within you, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within you. Amen". "And now in this fourth line, God starts to teach you about "how to do this", about how you become "One with" God within you before you die to the "outside" of you. "That is, you must awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul with the "Gift of God" for your age, with the life and teaching of God for your age, and then join as "One with" your awakened wisdom to liberate your soul from the cross of your elemental body, from the cross of your impure birth, in this way, you must join as "One with" your wisdom to do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", to do battle with "you" living a life of sin on the "outside" of you, you must join as "One with" your wisdom to do battle against your current life of "selfishness", your current life of sin, your current life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of you. Amen." "May this become your true intention within you, to join as "One with" God within you, by first joining as "One with" your wisdom within you, to complete what God has started within you, which is to reveal God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God (or earth world or dunya) within you, by first revealing True Man to True Man within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man (or the hereafter or akhirah) within you, and to do all of this before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen." "May God grant you the grace of His wisdom, may He fill your hearts with His grace, allowing you join in partnership with God within you to do this "Heart's Work" within you, to awaken and join with your wisdom within you, before you die to the "outside" of you. Amen." "Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar." 4-3. Review of "Lines 5, 6, and 7" of Chapter 86 - of "At Tarique" a. Original Version - of "Lines 5, 6, and 7" of Chapter 86" Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. 05. So let man consider from what he is created. 06. He is created from a gushing fluid, 07. That issues from between the loins and ribs. b. Expanded Version & Explanation of Expansion - of "Lines 5" of Chapter 86 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. b-1. Expanded Version - of "Line 5" of Chapter 86 05. So let man consider from what he is created [He is created, that is, he is given a form in the earth world, in the dunya, so he can live in the earth world, in the dunya, by covering over what he already is, which is a soul living in the world of souls, covering over that pure birth with an impure birth, with the earth world of illusion, with the dunya, with what is required to live a life of impurity, a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences", a life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", a life of "desire for earth, women, and gold", a life of "body, trick, and danger", in the world that we now see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within each of us, which in truth is the world of darkness or lack of understanding within us, the world of hell and evil within us, which in our ignorance we have allowed to grow and come to maturity within us, and which now in its maturity is nourished within us by our every look, thought, word, and action of "separation and differences", our every sin, in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. b-2. Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 5" of Chapter 86 In this way, covering over what we were before this impure birth, which is a pure birth, a soul in the world of souls, but without an understanding of that pure birth, a little light in direct communion with God within us, with the big light within us, but without the ability to come to an understanding of itself, since our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and God within Him, teach us, that, "Understanding only occurs through contrast" And in the world of soul, even though we are in direct communion with God within us, and God is constantly trying to teach us about "who we are", and about "where we are", and about what is truly "happening in our life", we cannot get it, we cannot come to an understanding of these things, because we have no contrast to "who we are", and to "where we are", and to "what is happening", we have no impurity to act as a contrast to our purity, so understanding of our purity can occur. So God creates a "School of Contrast" within us so understanding can occur within us, and then God sends us to that "School of Contrasts" within us, where we learn about everything that "separates us" from God within us, and within that "School of Contrasts" within us, which in truth is the earth world, the dunya within us, God places everything that we need to learn, in order to return to our original state of purity within us, the state of purity within us that we were in before coming to this "School of Contrasts" within us, so we can again be in direct communion with God within us, as a pure soul within us, and continue our learning about God within us, but now with an understanding of our purity, an understanding of everything that "separates us" from God within us, so that purity within us will never leave us again, so we will never be "separated from" God again within us, and so we can share our understanding of the purity of God within us with God within us for eternity. For properly learning all of our lessons, and graduating from this "School of Contrasts" within us, must all occur before we physically die to the "outside" of us, because leaning in this "School of Contrast" can only occur while we are living on the "outside" of us, and after death is the time for us to move onto the next "School of God", because this "School of Contrast" is just the first of several "Schools of God" that God has prepared for us. And by God providing a guardian for the soul, which is the wisdom surrounding his soul, which is capable of doing battle with the "Enemy of the soul", which is the natural result of an unchecked growth of the "Enemy of the soul", of the earth world, the dunya, the lives of darkness or lack of understanding, over the soul, while the guardian of the soul, the wisdom surrounding the soul is still sleeping, is still waiting to be awakened by the "Gift of God" for our age, by the life and teaching of God for our age for the Children of God for our age, which for our age, is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is each of us living in this age, if that be our true intention, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. Such is the significance of man considering "from what he is created". Amen. c. Expanded Version & Explanation of Expansion - of "Line 6 & 7" of Chapter 86 c-1.
