And a beautiful Spiritual Letter which "We" have given the following "Expanded Title" (at least in concept, if not just in words), if you like, Expanded Title of Spiritual Letter 140 "Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You To Become "One With" Us Within You, In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You, In Order To Truly Understand "Who You Already Are", And "Where You Already Are", And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life, While You Still Can, Before This Kind of Understanding Is No Longer Available To You, Because You Have Become What God Has Discarded From Himself, In Order To Become God Within You. That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?" Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who hae truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you. Bawa. May God all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa.

May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 140 (Without An Outline) Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. First Letter & Response - that is, the First Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), and the First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. We read the note that you had posted at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Philadelphia about the upcoming "Boston Retreat", and Again Bawa said to this child that he should attend, and participate, as Bawa always does each time your branch steps forward to host this wonderful duty. Bawa. So Yes, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) is most definitely coming to "The Boston Retreat". Bawa. Also Again, Bawa said within the heart of this child that "We" should Again try to bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) into the "Agenda" of "The Boston Retreat", as well as into the "Agenda" of all other gatherings of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as much as "We" can, and as often as "We" can, for as Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) recently said to this child, "This too is a wealth of grace from Bawa", even if it is difficult to get into it and to read it. Bawa. For as Bawa teaches "Us" the following at the end of the beautiful "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com) of the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), "My brothers who accept "Guru Mani" which this poor ignorant Bawa sang, and who read it with clarity, are the Creator's beings of grace. They are the great beings of this world. May Allah's grace be upon them." Bawa. So, what do you think, can "We" work together to perhaps put just the "First Part" of this beautiful book of wisdom into your current agenda, and this child would love to help in this "Grand Endeavor" in whatever way "We" can, if you like. Bawa. For example, the following material is in the "First Part", and it is all on-line, along with the "Opening Invocation" which "We" have reproduced below, all of which is available by clicking on the following Links, if you like. 1) Table of Contents - to the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com) "Seeing within me the Triple Flame within Alif, Laam, Meem When will my sorrow depart, O Lord of Mine? Knowing Thee, dwelling within Thee, When will I open my eyes and find Thee, O Lord of Mine? Forgetting the earth, discarding the damsel, When will my heart melt thinking of Thee, O Lord of Mine? 3) Forward - to the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvGuru.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvAllah.homestead.com) Bawa. So please take a look at the "First Part" of this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", and let "Us" know if you would like to add this to the "Agenda" for the "Boston Retreat", and if you would like this child to participate in any way. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Also, if you would like "Us" to come to the "Boston Retreat", to partake of what you already have planned, and if you like, to participate in Starting Some of The Children on a journey through this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", please send us a list of those from Philadelphia who are riding up, along with their E-mail address if possible and telephone number, So "We" can contact them and try to arrange a ride. Bawa. Finally, again it would be very difficult for "Us" to pay the full amount for the retreat, So please let "Us" know if you can also help out this child in this way. Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the First Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Salaams Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, You should ask your wife how to come to the Retreat. Anbu, Hussain Second Letter & Response - that is, the First Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), and the First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. "We" were very, very surprised at your response to the love of your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), My dearest loving brother Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), is this what you have learned to do being at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) all these years, to treat a brother that truly loves you in this way, and to ignore what is in his heart, treating it as irrelevant. Bawa. "We" have been reading over and over again the beautiful quotation that you sent out with your announcement of the "Boston Retreat", as follows, Have the constant thought of God in your heart, whether you are working or resting, surrendering all your thoughts to God, saying, "My Father, no matter what comes, all this belongs to you. It is your responsibility." You must become Your Father's Child, and He must be the one who does Everything. Bawa. Did you ever see Your Father write one of His Children a letter like you just sent this child? Shame on you Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. The difficulties between this child and Crisi are common knowledge at the Fellowship but for you to use that, especially that, as a way to "blow off this child", a child who has only given you love all of the time you have known him, love to you, and to your wife, and to your children, and to everyone at the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, not the John Barnett Branch, as you are Now apparently treating it, is really shameful. Bawa. You are suppose to be a representative of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) at the very highest level, as are all of the Branch Presidents, as well as all of the Members of the Executive Committee, not someone who sends subtle barbs to a brother who you apparently no longer respect or value. What a shame. Bawa. You should immediate resign from your current post as President of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyadeen Fellowship, a post that Bawa personally gave to you, and trusted you with, always expecting you to live up to His Example, and turn it over to someone else whose heart has not become the "1001 wells of hell", as Bawa predicted for His Children, if you are not careful . What a shame you have come to this state. Only God can help you Now. Bawa. Please forgive this child for whatever he may have done to turn your heart to stone towards him, that you could treat someone who you sat with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in such a way. What to do? Bawa. Please give My Love and Salams to your dearest loving wife, and to your son Rahim, and to your daughter, and to all of our brothers and sisters of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in Our Prayers, as are you My dearest loving brother. May God bless you and all those who attend the Boston Retreat, and may you keep this child in your prayers. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleases with Us, and with Him). Amen. Second Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the Second Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) 786 Salaams S. M., The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas! Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that. You presume too much, dear brother. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps . . . Anbu, anbu, anbu, M. Hussain PS - I am the treasurer. Third Letter, But No Response - that is, the Third Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), but this time with No Response from Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. My dearest loving brother Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), you said in your last E-mail, the following, Salaams S. M., The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas! Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that. You presume too much, dear brother. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps . . . Anbu, anbu, anbu, M. Hussain PS - I am the treasurer. Bawa. Let "Us" take a look at what was said, Ok? Perhaps it will benefit the two of "Us", and let God put our hearts back together as One, if you like. 1) You said in your E-mail - "The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas!" Bawa. But is it the mind that is saying this to "Us", for Bawa teaches "Us" that, "Not a blade of grass moves without God's permission". Bawa. If we reduce each other down to just that, to just the mind, then what is the point. Instead, we should elevate each other up to God. And the Choice is ours, not God, that is, the Choice to be either the mind or Bawa. So lets Choose God/Bawa, not the mind. Ok? Bawa. For example, before this child wrote you the first letter, there was prayer and a great deal of preparation. In the prayer Bawa said to this child, after "We" read your poster and the note that was posted, that "We" should again Try to bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" to His Children, as a gift from Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), through the heart of His Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Bawa. For in truth that is "Your Station", that is, the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and the station of each of His Children, if you will only accept it as yours, that is, if you will only accept the station of living as Bawa's Son or Daughter, not just staying and living as Bawa's Child, for the Child must become His Parents if the relationship is to progress properly, that is, the Child must not just stay as the Child, as most of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) are Now trying to do, rather, the Child must grow up, and become the Son or Daughter. Bawa. It is not spiritually healthy to stay as the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), just because you feel comfortable with that station, like the baby is comfortable with breast milk, but if you don't wean it off the breast milk and feed it solid food it will die. Bawa. So the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) must be weaned off of the breast milk of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, they must be weaned off of just sitting and listening to the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and instead Start to take the Solid Food of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), which is Stepping Forward to become the Sons or Daughters of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), for this age and for all lives. Bawa. Which in truth is for My Children to Step Forward to become Bawa, that is, to Step Forward to become Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), just like you and your wife have Now become your parents, with the both of you giving up being the Children of your parents, and like that, Now you and your wife, and all of My Children, must give up being the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and instead become His Son or Daughter. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. All of which in truth Starts with the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and is First experienced as Bawa's Son or Daughter on the "outside" of you, and is then experienced by Bawa's Children as your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul within you, all of which is First the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, and then the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the inside of you, which in truth is the station of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, that is, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) liberated from His Cross joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom, which is the Qutb or Action of God within you, which is also the station of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) after "The Cave" but before Mi'raj, all of which is the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then on the inside of you. Bawa. Is that just the mind, our relationship with Bawa in our heart, and our learning to live as "One with" Our Shaikh, Our Guru, Our Father? Bawa. Is this just the mind, our learning How To Become Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do? Bawa. Next "We" saw our dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (Patrick Andrews) at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship and Bawa said to ask him "How Could We Do That", that is, how could "We" bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" to our brothers and sisters, So they could benefit from it as this child has, which is a deeper and deeper understanding of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), culminating in His Children successfully making this Transition in State, that is, from the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to the Son or Daughter of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Bawa. That is, culminating in His Children successfully making the Transition from the "form of satan", which is the current state of all of My Children, to the "form of God", which is the current state of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", that is, culminating in His Children successfully making the Transition from living as "the satan" to living as God, to living as the "Duty that is Greater Than God", which is the Station of Man-God/God-Man, or True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is". Amen. Ok? Bawa. And that was when Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) made the following comment about the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", quoted in the first letter to you, that is, "This too is a wealth of grace from Bawa", even if it is difficult to get into it and to read it. Bawa. And then "We" talked about including the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" in the agenda for the upcoming "Boston Retreat" and How To Do That, and Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said that you and your wife were making all the arrangements for the "Boston Retreat" and that "We" should bring the suggestion to you, which is what "We" did in the first letter to you. 2) You also said in your E-mail - "Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that". Bawa. Yes there is "some barrier there", and you most certainly can help that, if you like, for that is the whole point of having each other, to do just that, to help each other through all of our barriers, by "giving peace to your brothers and sisters in each situation". Bawa. For as Bawa teaches us the following in the beautiful New Book, "Suratur-Rahmah", a New Book with a "Foreword by the Translator", which was Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Fatimah or Crisi, a quotation which is reproduced on the "back cover" of the book, for your easy reference, if you like, "Truth is the fragrance that comes through a compassionate heart. A compassionate heart comes through kindness, kindness that is given to all lives. Kindness comes from melting like wax, like a candle melting with the light, the heart melting like that and bringing light to each one of the children." "We must give peace to our brothers and sisters in each circumstance, no matter what path they go on. We must give them peace, so that difficulty does not come to them. Whether they go there, here, here or anywhere, we must only give them peace." "Love must be our only form. Love is our path towards our brothers and sisters. Compassion must be our point of unity. This is our union. This is union with God. Our union is compassionate union on the path of God." "We have come through the ages together; that is union". Bawa. And this was the point in the heart of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in writing you both the first and the second letter, and Now in writing you this third letter, to give you peace, by encouraging you, by pleading with you, by begging with you to give this child peace, because only by giving peace will you ever receive peace. Bawa. Please make "my love", my life, your life, "your love", So "We" can make "your love", your life, my life, "my love", So "We" can become "One", and then pray as the One to the One. Please try to join with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to do this, to do this "Hearts Work", while you and this child still can. Please try. Amen. Ok? Bawa. For example, please join with your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to bring him peace, by helping him deal with "his barriers", by taking on "his barriers" as "your barriers". For example, First, by helping him find a ride to the "Boston Retreat", even though what you said in your last E-mail is true. And Second, by helping him with the expenses. And Third, by doing whatever you can from where God has placed you, for example, as the treasurer of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, to make his "Bawa Heart Message" a reality, first at the "Boston Retreat" this weekend, and then at all of the Branches, including at the Philadelphia Branch. Bawa. That is, in order to make the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", truly a part of the public version of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, a part that is quoted and read and discussed at public meetings, as it most certainly should be, and not something that is kept hidden away, ignored and treated as if it doesn't exist, as if there is something wrong with it. At least give it its day in court, and let its critics publicly state their objections, not stay hidden in the shadows keeping these beautiful words of the Guru captive of closed hearts and a weakness in faith. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. No Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the Third Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Closing Comments: Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.

That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?" Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who hae truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you.

My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). ============================================================== On-line Version - of Spiritual Letter 140 (Without An Outline) Opening Greetings - My love you Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. First Letter & Response - that is, the First Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), and the First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. We read the note that you had posted at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Philadelphia about the upcoming "Boston Retreat", and Again Bawa said to this child that he should attend, and participate, as Bawa always does each time your branch steps forward to host this wonderful duty. Bawa. So Yes, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) is most definitely coming to "The Boston Retreat". Bawa. Also Again, Bawa said within the heart of this child that "We" should Again try to bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) into the "Agenda" of "The Boston Retreat", as well as into the "Agenda" of all other gatherings of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), as much as "We" can, and as often as "We" can, for as Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) recently said to this child, "This too is a wealth of grace from Bawa", even if it is difficult to get into it and to read it. Bawa. For as Bawa teaches "Us" the following at the end of the beautiful "Forward" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com) of the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), "My brothers who accept "Guru Mani" which this poor ignorant Bawa sang, and who read it with clarity, are the Creator's beings of grace. They are the great beings of this world. May Allah's grace be upon them." Bawa. So, what do you think, can "We" work together to perhaps put just the "First Part" of this beautiful book of wisdom into your current agenda, and this child would love to help in this "Grand Endeavor" in whatever way "We" can, if you like. Bawa. For example, the following material is in the "First Part", and it is all on-line, along with the "Opening Invocation" which "We" have reproduced below, all of which is available by clicking on the following Links, if you like. 1) Table of Contents - to the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvOpen.homestead.com) "Seeing within me the Triple Flame within Alif, Laam, Meem When will my sorrow depart, O Lord of Mine? Knowing Thee, dwelling within Thee, When will I open my eyes and find Thee, O Lord of Mine? Forgetting the earth, discarding the damsel, When will my heart melt thinking of Thee, O Lord of Mine? 3) Forward - to the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdomForward.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvGuru.homestead.com) (www.ThePearlOfWisdomInvAllah.homestead.com) Bawa. So please take a look at the "First Part" of this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", and let "Us" know if you would like to add this to the "Agenda" for the "Boston Retreat", and if you would like this child to participate in any way. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Also, if you would like "Us" to come to the "Boston Retreat", to partake of what you already have planned, and if you like, to participate in Starting Some of The Children on a journey through this beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", please send us a list of those from Philadelphia who are riding up, along with their E-mail address if possible and telephone number, So "We" can contact them and try to arrange a ride. Bawa. Finally, again it would be very difficult for "Us" to pay the full amount for the retreat, So please let "Us" know if you can also help out this child in this way. Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the First Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Salaams Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen, You should ask your wife how to come to the Retreat. Anbu, Hussain Second Letter & Response - that is, the First Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), and the First Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. "We" were very, very surprised at your response to the love of your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), My dearest loving brother Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), is this what you have learned to do being at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) all these years, to treat a brother that truly loves you in this way, and to ignore what is in his heart, treating it as irrelevant. Bawa. "We" have been reading over and over again the beautiful quotation that you sent out with your announcement of the "Boston Retreat", as follows, Have the constant thought of God in your heart, whether you are working or resting, surrendering all your thoughts to God, saying, "My Father, no matter what comes, all this belongs to you. It is your responsibility." You must become Your Father's Child, and He must be the one who does Everything. Bawa. Did you ever see Your Father write one of His Children a letter like you just sent this child? Shame on you Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us). Amen. Bawa. The difficulties between this child and Crisi are common knowledge at the Fellowship but for you to use that, especially that, as a way to "blow off this child", a child who has only given you love all of the time you have known him, love to you, and to your wife, and to your children, and to everyone at the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, not the John Barnett Branch, as you are Now apparently treating it, is really shameful. Bawa. You are suppose to be a representative of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) at the very highest level, as are all of the Branch Presidents, as well as all of the Members of the Executive Committee, not someone who sends subtle barbs to a brother who you apparently no longer respect or value. What a shame. Bawa. You should immediate resign from your current post as President of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyadeen Fellowship, a post that Bawa personally gave to you, and trusted you with, always expecting you to live up to His Example, and turn it over to someone else whose heart has not become the "1001 wells of hell", as Bawa predicted for His Children, if you are not careful . What a shame you have come to this state. Only God can help you Now. Bawa. Please forgive this child for whatever he may have done to turn your heart to stone towards him, that you could treat someone who you sat with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in such a way. What to do? Bawa. Please give My Love and Salams to your dearest loving wife, and to your son Rahim, and to your daughter, and to all of our brothers and sisters of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in Our Prayers, as are you My dearest loving brother. May God bless you and all those who attend the Boston Retreat, and may you keep this child in your prayers. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleases with Us, and with Him). Amen. Second Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the Second Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) 786 Salaams S. M., The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas! Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that. You presume too much, dear brother. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps . . . Anbu, anbu, anbu, M. Hussain PS - I am the treasurer. Third Letter, But No Response - that is, the Third Letter from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), but this time with No Response from Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) Bawa. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the Name of God, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Bawa. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. Bawa. My dearest loving brother Muhammad Hussain (Ral.), you said in your last E-mail, the following, Salaams S. M., The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas! Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that. You presume too much, dear brother. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps . . . Anbu, anbu, anbu, M. Hussain PS - I am the treasurer. Bawa. Let "Us" take a look at what was said, Ok? Perhaps it will benefit the two of "Us", and let God put our hearts back together as One, if you like. 1) You said in your E-mail - "The mind goes very far on such little fuel; we should harness that and save on gas!" Bawa. But is it the mind that is saying this to "Us", for Bawa teaches "Us" that, "Not a blade of grass moves without God's permission". Bawa. If we reduce each other down to just that, to just the mind, then what is the point. Instead, we should elevate each other up to God. And the Choice is ours, not God, that is, the Choice to be either the mind or Bawa. So lets Choose God/Bawa, not the mind. Ok? Bawa. For example, before this child wrote you the first letter, there was prayer and a great deal of preparation. In the prayer Bawa said to this child, after "We" read your poster and the note that was posted, that "We" should again Try to bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" to His Children, as a gift from Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), through the heart of His Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Bawa. For in truth that is "Your Station", that is, the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and the station of each of His Children, if you will only accept it as yours, that is, if you will only accept the station of living as Bawa's Son or Daughter, not just staying and living as Bawa's Child, for the Child must become His Parents if the relationship is to progress properly, that is, the Child must not just stay as the Child, as most of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) are Now trying to do, rather, the Child must grow up, and become the Son or Daughter. Bawa. It is not spiritually healthy to stay as the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), just because you feel comfortable with that station, like the baby is comfortable with breast milk, but if you don't wean it off the breast milk and feed it solid food it will die. Bawa. So the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) must be weaned off of the breast milk of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, they must be weaned off of just sitting and listening to the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and instead Start to take the Solid Food of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), which is Stepping Forward to become the Sons or Daughters of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), for this age and for all lives. Bawa. Which in truth is for My Children to Step Forward to become Bawa, that is, to Step Forward to become Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), just like you and your wife have Now become your parents, with the both of you giving up being the Children of your parents, and like that, Now you and your wife, and all of My Children, must give up being the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and instead become His Son or Daughter. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. All of which in truth Starts with the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and is First experienced as Bawa's Son or Daughter on the "outside" of you, and is then experienced by Bawa's Children as your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul within you, all of which is First the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the "outside" of you, and then the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) on the inside of you, which in truth is the station of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, that is, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) liberated from His Cross joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom, which is the Qutb or Action of God within you, which is also the station of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) after "The Cave" but before Mi'raj, all of which is the station of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then on the inside of you. Bawa. Is that just the mind, our relationship with Bawa in our heart, and our learning to live as "One with" Our Shaikh, Our Guru, Our Father? Bawa. Is this just the mind, our learning How To Become Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do? Bawa. Next "We" saw our dearest loving brother Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (Patrick Andrews) at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship and Bawa said to ask him "How Could We Do That", that is, how could "We" bring the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" to our brothers and sisters, So they could benefit from it as this child has, which is a deeper and deeper understanding of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), culminating in His Children successfully making this Transition in State, that is, from the Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to the Son or Daughter of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Bawa. That is, culminating in His Children successfully making the Transition from the "form of satan", which is the current state of all of My Children, to the "form of God", which is the current state of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased", that is, culminating in His Children successfully making the Transition from living as "the satan" to living as God, to living as the "Duty that is Greater Than God", which is the Station of Man-God/God-Man, or True Prayer, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is". Amen. Ok? Bawa. And that was when Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) made the following comment about the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", quoted in the first letter to you, that is, "This too is a wealth of grace from Bawa", even if it is difficult to get into it and to read it. Bawa. And then "We" talked about including the book "The Pearl of Wisdom" in the agenda for the upcoming "Boston Retreat" and How To Do That, and Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said that you and your wife were making all the arrangements for the "Boston Retreat" and that "We" should bring the suggestion to you, which is what "We" did in the first letter to you. 2) You also said in your E-mail - "Crisi is coming and is in touch with all those that are planning to drive up. If there is some barrier there, I cannot help that". Bawa. Yes there is "some barrier there", and you most certainly can help that, if you like, for that is the whole point of having each other, to do just that, to help each other through all of our barriers, by "giving peace to your brothers and sisters in each situation". Bawa. For as Bawa teaches us the following in the beautiful New Book, "Suratur-Rahmah", a New Book with a "Foreword by the Translator", which was Muhammad Muhaiyaddeen Fatimah or Crisi, a quotation which is reproduced on the "back cover" of the book, for your easy reference, if you like, "Truth is the fragrance that comes through a compassionate heart. A compassionate heart comes through kindness, kindness that is given to all lives. Kindness comes from melting like wax, like a candle melting with the light, the heart melting like that and bringing light to each one of the children." "We must give peace to our brothers and sisters in each circumstance, no matter what path they go on. We must give them peace, so that difficulty does not come to them. Whether they go there, here, here or anywhere, we must only give them peace." "Love must be our only form. Love is our path towards our brothers and sisters. Compassion must be our point of unity. This is our union. This is union with God. Our union is compassionate union on the path of God." "We have come through the ages together; that is union". Bawa. And this was the point in the heart of your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in writing you both the first and the second letter, and Now in writing you this third letter, to give you peace, by encouraging you, by pleading with you, by begging with you to give this child peace, because only by giving peace will you ever receive peace. Bawa. Please make "my love", my life, your life, "your love", So "We" can make "your love", your life, my life, "my love", So "We" can become "One", and then pray as the One to the One. Please try to join with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to do this, to do this "Hearts Work", while you and this child still can. Please try. Amen. Ok? Bawa. For example, please join with your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to bring him peace, by helping him deal with "his barriers", by taking on "his barriers" as "your barriers". For example, First, by helping him find a ride to the "Boston Retreat", even though what you said in your last E-mail is true. And Second, by helping him with the expenses. And Third, by doing whatever you can from where God has placed you, for example, as the treasurer of the Boston Branch of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, to make his "Bawa Heart Message" a reality, first at the "Boston Retreat" this weekend, and then at all of the Branches, including at the Philadelphia Branch. Bawa. That is, in order to make the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", truly a part of the public version of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, a part that is quoted and read and discussed at public meetings, as it most certainly should be, and not something that is kept hidden away, ignored and treated as if it doesn't exist, as if there is something wrong with it. At least give it its day in court, and let its critics publicly state their objections, not stay hidden in the shadows keeping these beautiful words of the Guru captive of closed hearts and a weakness in faith. Amen. Ok? Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you, My Dearest Loving Son Muhammad Hussain (may God be pleased with You, and with Us), and all of My Children - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him). Amen. No Response by Muhammad Hussain (Ral.) - to the Third Letter by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Closing Comments: Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
