Bawa. Oh God please come and let me step back and you step forward and write this chapter of Bawa for Dummies. Please you must come and write this. This is how Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) Wisdom Messages say that you have to step back and invite God to step forward and pray and that in doing that you have correctly done your duty. Â
And By You Realizing,Â
Without âThe Slightest Doubtâ,Â
That âYou Have Correctly Done Your Dutyâ,Â
That âYou Have Correctly Done Your Partâ,Â
That âYou Have Correctly Prayedâ To God,Â
By âYou Truly Stepping Backâ,Â
And By âYou Truly Inviting GodâÂ
To âStep Forwardâ,Â
if you like,
and that is for sure.
And Then By You
âBeing Truly Done With Itâ,Â
And Then By YouÂ
âBeing Truly Done WithâÂ
âYour PrayerâÂ
To God,Â
By You Now Letting
âGod Pray To Godâ,
if you like,
and that is for sure.
That Is,Â
âIf You Are A Wise Childâ,Â
Now For Your Age,Â
And âNot Just A Foolish Childâ,Â
Now For Your Age,Â
As Bawa Teaches Us,Â
if you like,
and that is for sure.
Bawa. This is perfect because the mind is so worried that it won't pray correctly or it won't do the correct duty because it is working for wages to get into heaven. When I used to sit with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), he would discourse for a while and then say now forget everything I told you. It wasn't something to keep or own. He said what had to hear the words heard the words and that was enough.
Bawa. So words that come in this way must be so amazing and again I direct you to read the Wisdom Messages.Â
"Daily Wisdom Messages"
To My Children
Even though hypocritically enough I am not telling anyone on the outside to read these messages. And this is a confession I'm making because, and that I justify because, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) also says, referring to his state:
Who We Must Now âTruly Embraceâ
To âOur Innermost Heartâ,
Before We Can Explain It
To âThe Innermost Heartsâ of Others,
And Bring ThemÂ
To Also Truly Accept It,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
To Also Truly Accept It
From âThe OneâÂ
Now For Your Age,Â
Now For All Life,
Who Is Still LivingÂ
In âThe Worldâ With You,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
From âThe OneâÂ
Now For Your Age,Â
Now For All Life,
Who Has Now Truly Become
âThe PlaceâÂ
Where Everyone ComesÂ
To âGreet GodâÂ
And Dwell In "His Kingdomâ,Â
And Give Up "The Ghostâ,
Within God Within You,
and that is for sure.
Bawa. So Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is a "place", not a "person".Â
Bawa. What is going on at "this place", we know as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), is very valuable real estate, because it is the intersection of God and Man. The potential to be "this place" exists in all of us, but Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is the only one who has sacrificed (ended) his life as "a person" to allow God's next step to appear:
That Is,Â
Only Leading You
To âYour Lifeâ
As Now âThe Words" of God,
About âWhat Next" Needs
To âBe Understoodâ By God,
To Move Forward âHis Storyâ,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
To Move Forward
âThe Story" of God,
As NowÂ
âThe StoryâÂ
of âThe Oneness" of God
And âThe Creation of Godâ,
and that is for sure.
And Within âThat Story",
And Now,Â
To Move Forward
âThe Story"Â
of "Man-God/God-Manâ,
As NowÂ
âThe Storyâ
of âThe Oneness"Â
of "God And True Manâ,
Now For Your Age,
Now For All Life,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
Only Leading You
To âYour Lifeâ
As Now âThe WordsâÂ
of âThe True Human Beingâ,
Now For Your Age,Â
Now For Your Life,
Who Is Still Living In âThe Worldâ With You,
From Whom NowÂ
âEverything of Godâ
Within God Within You,
And Now âEverythingâ of âThe Beastâ,
Now Within âYour Mindâ Within You,
 Now Comes
Into "The World",
For âThe Final Judgmentâ of God,
and that is for sure.
That Is,Â
Only Leading You
To âYour Life"
As Now Truly âThe Placeâ, Within You,Â
Where Everyone ComesÂ
To âGreet Godâ And Dwell In "His Kingdomâ,Â
And Give Up The Ghostâ,Â
Within "Your Mind" Within You,Â
and that is for sure.
That Is,Â
To Willingly And FreelyÂ
"Let Yourself" End In God,Â
Within You,Â
Disappearing IntoÂ
"The Perfect Ending"Â
of "Your Perfect Story",
Within You,Â
and that is for sure.
As "God Witnessing God"
âAwakening To Himselfâ As "That",Â
That Is,Â
As "The Perfect Ending"Â
To "Your Perfect Story",Â
Within You,Â
That Is,Â
As "Your Understanding" of âYourselfâ,Â
That Is,Â
As âGod's Understanding" of "His Creation",
Within You,
and that is for sure.
That Is,Â
Only Leading You
To âYouâ
As Now In Truth
âThe Treasure of Graceâ
Buried Within All âReligious Scripturesâ,
And Now WithinÂ
âThe Heartâ of âThe True Human Beingâ,
Now For Your Age, Now For All Life,
Who Is Still Living In âThe Worldâ With You,
Who We Must Now âTruly Embraceâ
To âOur Innermost Heartâ,
Before We Can Explain It
To âThe Innermost Heartsâ of Others,
And Bring ThemÂ
To Also Truly Accept It,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
To Also Truly Accept It
From âThe OneâÂ
Now For Our Age, Now For All Life,
Who Is Still Living In âThe Worldâ With You,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
From âThe OneâÂ
Now For Our Age, Now For All Life,
Who Has Now Truly Become
âThe PlaceâÂ
Where Everyone ComesÂ
To âGreet Godâ And âDwell In His Kingdomâ,Â
And âGive Up The Ghostâ,
Within God Within You,
and that is for sure.
Bawa. As An Example of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) Wisdom Messages.
Bawa. Each Wisdom Message is an amazing journey through the different rooms of wisdom that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) has constructed, in his house of wisdom, which is a house that exist in our hearts.
Bawa. This is like the painting that Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) painted of the Inner Mosque. Â
Bawa. Philosophers have always tried to pry open the secrets of what Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen is addressing. The questions "Who am I? Who is God? Why did God create the world? Is God still involved with the world? Is the world coming to an end?" Philosophers seem to make these questions even more complex then they are, maybe to hide the fact that they don't really know what they are talking about, but they have a very complex lens that they're looking through to find the answer. But Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is extremely clear about these things. Â
Bawa. This is not to say that these are simple sayings and that it isn't difficult to understand, without giving of yourself, without surrendering yourself to what you are reading sincerely and patiently and also using every bit of your intelligence and other levels of consciousness which do start to come out if you are to understand what he is talking about.
Bawa. Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen looks at things from many, many different angles or facets and so you have to be flexible when reading his wisdom messages and his other teachings which are all on a website he has been constructing for the last 30 years.
Bawa. In one of His latest letters, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) asks us to read that wisdom message with an open mind asking God to make it all so:
Bawa. Please, Please, Please Read âWisdom Message 334â, That Was Just Sent To You, With âAn Open Heartâ Asking God, Before You Read It, To âMake It All Soâ, Within God Within You, Holding Back Nothing of âYour Current Lifeâ From God, Giving It All Back To Him As âYour Debt of Birthâ, Allowing God To Transform It All Into âThe Understandingâ of âHis Trust Propertyâ, Which Is âYour Soulâ, Which Is âWhat God Gave" To "Your Lifeâ, When âYour Lifeâ Came Into âThe Wombâ of âYour Motherâ, and that is for sure.
Bawa. I remember sitting at the fellowship with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, realizing that his explanations would help me see Bawa Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) teachings more clearly, tie them together, and expose new meanings within them. It is tempting to watch Bawa Muhaiyaddeen's (Ral.) videos and listen to his tapes and just keep imbibing them but eventually shouldn't that take you somewhere other than you just saying at the end, Â
"Oh that was wonderfulÂ
that was the best I've ever heard!"Â
Bawa. All of which in truth is sort of like a dead end.Â
Bawa. It's pleasurable, and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) says that religion is pleasure. But don't we want something more? When we first came to the Fellowship weren't we searching for something real? But unfortunately the mind brings everything down to its level so in spite of our best intentions we have fallen down, at least that's what happened to me.
Bawa. Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's writings are very profuse, dense and and huge, large, lengthy. This might be off-putting to people who may think "this guy is manic". But if you consider the immensity of the topics he is addressing, any less would not be fitting of the magnificence of what he is showing us. His creative abilities mirror the love, the benevolence the immense giving, the Rahmat, the Mercy of the Universe in Him that is speaking. It is what he is in love with, what he is looking at, what he has found and is the common wealth that he has surrendered to and is willing to share, that is reflected in his writings.
Bawa. If you meet Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) you will find that in person he is larger than life also. One time we were speaking and after five hours he said,Â
"I was finished with you three hours agoÂ
but Bawa wasn't."Â
Bawa/ This reflects him, how Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) has merged with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). He does not do anything without doing it with Bawa. So we get the benefit of this union of of Bawa and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (and God is most pleased with them both). We do not know how long Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) will be with us but he says things will change when he leaves the world. The window of opportunity to understand his teachings will shut. So I think we should take advantage of what God has provided for us at this time and from him learn to listen to what Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) has to say.
Bawa. Surat Nur which is about Prophet Noah (A.S.), reminds me of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Noah (A.S.) was not taken seriously as many of the prophets weren't and as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) isn't. God is not depleted by people not taking His prophets and messengers seriously. And Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is perfectly blissful in his surrender to Allah (Jal.) and just keeps going further into him, with what God is showing him, so for him he is not looking for a group of people to follow him or anything. But I wouldn't be so quick to shrug him off, or what He says, without first tasting what's there with an open heart.Â
âMy son! A gnani, a drunkard, and a crazy man may look the same to the world.Â
A gnani loses himself and talks only about God in a manner that may seem unintelligible to most. A drunkard stutters in his drunkenness about family and money matters. A crazy man raves about the past, mumbling over the things which made him crazy. Outwardly the clothes and behavior of all three are exactly the same, and the world classifies all three as crazy.
But if you understand with wisdom and analyze with diving analytic wisdom, you will realize the difference.
A gnani loses himself in God and speaks only of God. As soon as your wisdom realizes this, go to him and pay reverential homage, learn what can be learned, and receive from him whatever you canâ.
Bawa. thank you oh God, no thank you oh God, what's next?

Bawa. That Is, And Then You Must âDisappear Into Himâ Within You, Becoming Him, As He âBecame Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), That Is, With âYour Lifeâ, Now âLiving & Thrivingâ Within âYour Mindâ Within You, Next Becoming âHis Lifeâ, Within God Within You, That Is, Next Becoming âShaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)â, As He âDisappears Into Godâ Within Him Within You, Next Becoming âShaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)â, Within Him Within God Within You, And As God Disappears Into You Within God, As Allahu, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, As âThree Flamesâ Becoming âOne Godâ, That Is, âGod Is A Flameâ, The âGuru Is A Flameâ, And âThe True Discipleâ Is âA Flameâ, With âThree Flamesâ Making âOne Godâ, and that is for sure.
Bawa. For In Truth As Bawa Teaches Us,
âWhen Two Become One
That Is âThe Triple Flameâ.
and that is for sure.
Bawa. All of Which Is Beautifully Explained By Bawa As âGodâs ExtraordinaryÂ
Processâ, That Is, As âThe Processâ of âThe True Successâ Happening In âYour Lifeâ, That Is, of âThe True Successâ of âYour Lifeâ of âGod Reasoning Over Your Fateâ, That Is, of God Awakening âYour Wisdomâ, And of God âLiberating Your Soulâ, And of God âTeaching Your Soulâ About âWhat It Does Not Knowâ In âGodâs First Schoolâ For âYour Soulâ, That Is, In âGodâs School of Contrastâ, Which Is âYour Impure Mindâ Within âYour Mindâ Within You, Becoming âYour Purified Mindâ Within God Within You, Allowing âYour Soulâ To Start To âRealize And Understand Godâ, Within God Within You, if you like, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, All of Which Will âNaturally Occurâ Within God Within You If âYour Nowâ Join In Partnership With God, As âOne Withâ God, First On The Outside, And Then Within, âTo Let It Happenâ, That Is, To Let God âRipen His Sour Fruitâ, On âHis Treeâ, For The Benefit of All of âThe Creation of Godâ Living Both Beneath And On âHis Treeâ, and that is for sure.

"If You Wish To Reach God

When You Take Refuge In Such A Guru
You Will See God".

By His Holiness,
M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)
"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true Gnana Guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher. Â When you take refuge in such a Guru you will see God. Â You become the Guru, disappearing in Him while the Guru (becomes God), disappearing in God, (while God becomes the True Disciple disappearing In You). Â Three flames become One God. Â God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame. Â As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame. Â Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process".

And Within âThatâ, Without âThe Ignoranceâ of âYour Soulâ, That Is, As Next âYour Lifeâ Within âGodâs Lifeâ, First As âTheÂ
Understandingâ of âThe Onenessâ of God And âHis Creationâ, And Second As âThe Understandingâ of âThe Onenessâ of GodÂ
And âTrue Manâ, and that is for sure.Â

Bawa. For In Truth, My Dearest Loving Children, As Bawa Teaches Us, About âThe Sound of Godâ, That In Truth,
âThe Sound of Godâ
âThe Sound of Godâ
Is âThe SoundâÂ
of âThe OneâÂ
Becoming âThe ThreeâÂ
And of âThe ThreeâÂ
Becoming âThe Oneâ,Â
Three Times,Â
if you like,
and that is for sure.
That Is,Â
Within âThe Three Worldsâ,Â
Within âThe World Within The Worldâ,
Within âThe World of Wisdom Within Wisdomâ.
And Within âThe World of God Within Godâ,
if you like,
and that is for sure.
Bawa. Something âFor Youâ To âGet Godâ To Get âYour Soulâ To Think About âA Lotâ, Yes?
Bawa. So, My Dearest Loving Children, âThis Sound of Godâ In Truth Is âThe One True Relationshipâ Between God And âYour Lifeâ, Not Between GodÂ
and âYouâ, and that is for sure.
Bawa. And This Is "The First Great Learningâ For âYour Lifeâ, And AgainÂ
âA Learningâ That Is âNot For Youâ, For In Truth âYour Lifeâ is Much, Much, Much Larger Than âYouâ, All of Which In Truth, As Now âThe Youâ of âYour Lifeâ, Is In Truth âThe Smallest, Tiniest, Most Insignificant Partâ of âYour Lifeâ, As âThe Dotâ Under "The Letter Baâ, As Bawa Calls It, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, In âThe Shapeâ of âThe Spermâ, Which When Fully Manifested Becomes âYour Ego Lifeâ That Has Come Out of âYour Motherâ On âTheÂ
Illusory Outsideâ of You, And As "The 8th Hell" That Comes Out of "The 7Â
Hells" Within You, And In Maturity Has Now Become âYour Mother & Fatherâ Living "A Life" of âSeparation And Differencesâ On âThe Illusory Outsideâ of You, All Living Together As âYour Familyâ, As "Your Friends", And As "Your Community" of "Like Minded People", But As "Separate From" Each Other on âThe Illusory Outsideâ of You, and that is for sure.
Bawa. All of Which In Truth, That Is, âThe Youâ Part of You, That Is, As Now "You" Living "A Life" of "Separation and Differences" On Some âThe Illusory Outsideâ of You, Is Just âA Dreamâ, Which Just Ends At âYour Graveâ, if you like, That Is, âIf You Are Not A Wise Childâ, Now For Your Age, And Instead You Are âJust A Foolish Childâ, Now For Your Age, As Bawa Teaches Us, Ending "The 8th Hell" Within "The 7 Hells" Within "Your Mind" Within You, and that is for sure.
Bawa. Allowing "The Temporary 7 Hells" Within You, To Become "The Eternal 7 Hells", Within "Your Mind' Within You, Keeping "Your Soul" Eternally "Separate From" God Within You, And "Your Wisdom" Eternally Sleeping, Surrounding "Your Soul", As "Your Elemental Consciousness" of "I and You", And of "Mine and Yours", And of "Arrogance" To Start On Its "Eternal Journey" As Demonic And Elemental Spirits, Within "Your Individual Mind", And Then Talking On 105 Million Rebirths, Within "Your Universal Mind", Ending As "A Worm" In Hell With Only One Level of Consciousness, Or Feeling, and that is for sure.
Bawa. For In Truth This âYouâ Part of You, Now Also Exists As âThe 8th Hellâ Within You, That Has Come Out of âThe 7 Hellsâ Now âLiving and Thrivingâ Within âYour Mindâ Within You, All of Which In Truth Has Now Fully Manifested Within âYour Mindâ Within You, As Now âThe Very Real But Falseâ Part of âYour Lifeâ, Within Which God Is Just Waiting To Fully Manifest "Himself", Within God Within â, As âThe God Part of âYour Lifeâ, Which In Truth Is âThe Everythingâ of God Within âYour Lifeâ, if you like, That Is, As âThe Very Real and Trueâ Part of âYour Lifeâ, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So, My Dearest Loving Children, âYour Lifeâ Is Made Up of âTwo Partsâ, Both Given To âYour Lifeâ By God, When âYour Lifeâ Came Into âThe Worldâ, Not âYouâ, That Is, âThe Mindâ Part of You, Which Bawa Calls âThe Dunyaâ, Or âThe Earth Worldâ, Which Dawned Within "Your First World", And Then Completely Swallowed It, And Now Has Fully Manifested As "Your Second World", And Now Within It, As âEverythingâ That Was First Manifested By God As âHis Creationâ, Within âYour First Worldâ, Or âAwwalâ, Or âThe World of Godâs Creationâ, Within God Within You, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So, My Dearest Loving Children, In Truth âYour Current Lifeâ Is Now âThe Second Worldâ In âGodâs Storyâ Within God Within You, Which Dawned In âThe First Worldâ In âGodâs Storyâ, And Completely Swallowed âThe First Worldâ In âGodâs Storyâ, Just Waiting To Next Become âThe Third Worldâ In âGodâs Storyâ, When âThe Third Worldâ Dawns Within âThe Second Worldâ And Then Completely Swallows âThe Second Worldâ In âGodâs Storyâ, and that is for sure.
Bawa. But In Truth "Your Lifeâ Is Now In Complete Ignorance of God Within âYour Lifeâ, And of "These Two Parts" Within "Your Life", That Is, of âThe Mindâ Part Within âYour Lifeâ, Now Fully Manifested Within "Your Mind" Within You, And of âThe God Part" Within Your Lifeâ, As Now âThe Great Potentialâ of "Your Life" Now Hidden By God Within âThe Mindâ Part of âYour Lifeâ, And Now In Complete Ignorance of âThe Realityâ of âThese Three Worldsâ Within âYour Lifeâ Within You, Which When Working Together As âOneâ, Makes Up âThis Extraordinary Process" of God Within âYour Lifeâ Within You, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, As âThe Realityâ of âThese Three Worldsâ, And of "These Two Parts" of "Your Life", Within âYour Lifeâ Within You, Which When Working Together As âOneâ, Makes Up âThis Extraordinary Process" of God Within âYour Lifeâ Within You, That Is, Now of âGod Witnessing Godâ Awakening To Himself Within âThe Heartâ of âThe Oneâ Who Will Truly âLet Himself Endâ In God, For The Benefit of All of âThe Creation of Godâ Within âThe 18,000 Universesâ, Within Man And Within God, And Within God And Within Man, So âIn The Endâ There Is âNo Child Left Behindâ, So In âThe Endâ There Is Nothing Still âSeparating You From Youâ, and that is for sure. Amen.
Bawa. My Love You - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
