A Little Bit More About His Holiness - about our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and about His Children (Ral.) 12. Understanding The "Justice of God" & The "Sin of Righteousness" - and how the "Justice of God" works in our life, and how, if we are not wise, we can fall into the "Sin of Righteousness" Quote from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verses 7 to 15 Text of Spiritual Letter - for page 4 of 5 only Introduction - to page 4 of Spiritual Letter Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. 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 brother Ellis Thomas - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Here is page 4 of 5 of the original letter, that is, before what is now Page 3 of 5 came into the heart of this child, as two beautiful discourses from God within us all, that is, "Discourse A and B" on Page 3 of 5, and before a beautiful answer came into the heart of this child from God within us all, as to the question, "What to do next?", that is, what to do with "our" sharing of the "Gift of God" for our age, of the life and teaching 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) within us, and of God within Him, and of His Children on the "outside" of us. That is, with the sharing of the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, like we are now doing with our sharing of "Spiritual Letter 66", my dearest loving brother Ellis, with the sharing of the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) which is everyone of us living in the world today, if we only want it, that is, if our true intention for our life is to become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. So now we pick up in this letter, with Page 4 of 5 in "Spiritual Letter 66", with the rest of the original letter, that is, with both this page, Page 4 of 5, and with what is now the last page of the original letter, Page 5 of 5. Thank you for your patience with this child for all of this jumping around, and all of these delays, in "Spiritual Letter 66", but that seems to be what becomes of our life when we truly join as "One with" God with in us, before we die to the flesh, as this child has. Amen. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 10. Our Choice - before we die to the "outside" of us, is simple, either an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us Such is our choice, before we die to the "outside" of us, a choice of an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, and "no choice" is a choice. And "no choice" is a choice, a choice to "continue with business as usual", a choice to continue to live a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, a life of sin, a life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", a life of "desire for earth, women, and gold", a life of "body, trick, and danger", on the "outside" of us, all the while being lead by kalam or time within us to Kalan within us, to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us. Such is the fate of one who decides on a "no choice" and "business as usual", my dearest loving brother Ellis. May we all make the correct choice, and truly choose "Oneness with" God within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. Amen. 11. A Little Bit More About His Holiness - about our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and about His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) And the word Rahim, in our Father's name, in the name Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), is one of the 99 names or attributes given to God within us, the 99 of God within us, which in the Islamic tradition are called the Asma'ul Husna, "The 99 Beautiful Names of God", with the name Rahim being the attribute or power of God known as, "The Compassionate", the Most Merciful, Clement, Kind, and Understanding; The Sustainer and Redeemer, that is, the "One who is full of endless compassion for all lives". [Note: for more information on the 99 beautiful names of God, on the Asma'ul Husna, please click on the following: Asma'ul Husna, "The 99 Beautiful Names of God" (www.The99NamesOfGod.homestead.com), which is an on-line copy of some of the material provided in a book by His Holiness on the 99 names or attributes of God, a book which also includes some beautiful related discourses by His Holiness. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] Finally, the name "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" was given to this child by His Holiness in 1980, and means teacher of the Muhaiyaddeen of God for this age, teacher of the" Gift of God" for our age, a name that is used by this child only out of respect for His Holiness, and not out of any sense of exaltedness by this child. For as Bawa teaches us, the only true teacher is God within us, not "us" on the "outside" of us. All we can do is make ourselves available for "His Use", for "His Presence", for "His Teaching" to occur from within us, and then "wait" for that to occur, or to not occur, being equally content and peaceful with or without it occurring from within us, like a tool in a toolbox, waiting to be used by the Master Carpenter, or like a light bulb waiting to become the light, realizing that when that happens it is no longer the bulb, nor is it the light, but rather it has become "One with" the light, an entirely new state of existence, a state which can only occur when the lamp is properly wired, plugged in, and turned on. Such is our work, and our only work, my dearest loving brother Ellis, for then we will become peaceful, no matter what is happening on the "outside" of us, no matter how and when God choose to use our life for His purpose in the world, or when He decides to take away our life on the "outside" of us, and absorb us back into Him, as eternally "One with" Him, if that be our true intention, that is, to become "One with" Him before we die to the "outside" of us, for then in each moment of our life, we are "One with" Him within us, and that is all we will ever need in our life, both now and for eternity. Amen. In this way, all true teaching is by "Him" within us, not by us "teaching for Him", which is most certainly a "quick path to hell" within us, all teaching is by "us" intending that "He be there, not us", by us invoking His name for our age, before we "say or do" anything. Such is the experience of this child. Amen. 12. Understanding The "Justice of God" & The "Sin of Righteousness" - and how the "justice of God" works in our life, and how through it, through the "Justice of God" operating in our life, whatever we truly want, or intend in our life, is what we will receive, that is, whatever we truly intend in our heart, not on our lips, while we are sill living our temporary life in the world, not what we may say we want, or talk about, or even preach to others about, is what we will in the end receive, after we physically die to the world on the "outside" of us Such is the "justice of God" in our life, and the "Sin of Righteousness" that we can fall into without even realizing it, but which in the end will only serve to "separate us" from God within us, not bring us closer to God as we may believe, remembering that in truth God has no partners. But we can become "One with" God within us before we die, if we like, if we will only join with God within us, to become "One with" God within us, if we will only learn to "use God within us" to get to "God within us", if we will only join with God within us to give up all of our current partners, to give up all of what we have currently become "one with", which is "us" and all of our dearest loving brothers and sister living in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, which is only in truth leading us to hell within us, leading us to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, after we physically die to the "outside" of us. In this way, whatever we end up with after having lived our life in the world, after we die, is what we then get for eternity, for within the justice of God, that must be what we really want, and if that ends up being what we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, rather than God within us, and all of the "Stuff of God" within us, then that is what we will then get for eternity, getting in this way, either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within us, or an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, and in this way, getting either one of these after we have physically died to the "outside" of us. And in this way, our own life in the end answers the question of our life, the question, "What do we want?", because the actual state of our life, and heart, and consciousness, at the end of our short life in the world, has told God what He needs to know about us, to pass judgment upon us, so that is then what God gives us for eternity. Not what we may have said that we want, not what we may have talked about, or even preached to others about, while we were here, while we were still living in the world, for it is our actions that truly define us not our words, for as the old but true saying goes, "Words are Cheap". So in this way, in the end we pass judgment upon ourselves by the way that we have conducted our short life in this earth world, by the lessons that we have learned or not, and the exams that we have passed or failed, in this "School of God" that we currently attend, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like it or not. Such is the way of this God of ours, such is the "justice of God" within us. Amen In this way, His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us, "The justice of God is that whatever we intend is what we will receive." So in the end, everyone gets exactly what they want, even when they may say otherwise when they are still living in the world, and in this way, those who truly want God within them, that is, who truly want a God of "Oneness and Unity", of "Justice and Truth", and of "Compassion and Unity", will get such a God in the end, because God within us has within Him nothing of the world that we see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, because all that we currently see on the "outside" of us is what God has discarded in the process of becoming God within us, and for us to become "One with" God within us before we die to the "outside" of us, we must get God within us to do it again, to again discard everything that He has discard before to become God within us, but this time within us. But those who say they want God, and talk about God, and even preach to others about God, but in truth want and love and trust in the world that they currently see in their ignorance as existing on the "outside" of them, who in truth, within their hearts, not on their lips, want and love and trust "separation and differences", who in truth want and love and trust their life of "arrogance, karma, and illusion", want and love and trust their life of "desire for earth, women, and gold", that they see and experience as "themselves" and their dearest loving brothers and sisters living on the "outside" of them, which is truly the "Sin of Righteousness" that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about, will not in the end get God, will not in the end get an eternal life as "One with" God within them. No they will not get God in the end, they will not get a God of "Oneness and Unity", of "Justice and Truth", and of "Compassion and Unity" as their reward in the end, they will not get "Oneness with" God as their reward in the end, because they have not done the work to get that in the end, they have not grown that crop or built that house while they were alive in the world. But rather in the end they will get the crop that they have grown and the house that they have built that is the "opposite of God" within us, and the "opposite" of all of the "Stuff of God" within us, like the grace, and wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within us, instead in the end they will get the crop that they have grown and the house that they have built within them that is grown out of, and made out of, what they currently see in their ignorance as existing on the "outside" of them, which in truth is everything that "God has discarded" within us, to become God within us. Amen. So within the justice of God within us, in the end, each of us will get this as our reward, the crop that we have sown, and the house that we have built, while living in the world on the "outside" of us. What could be more just. Which becomes in the end of our life, if we end our life in the world on the "outside" of us, seeing everything only through our mind and desire within us, through our "separation and differences" within us, through our arrogance, karma, and illusion within us, throuogh our desire for earth, women, and gold within us, in this way, seeing only what we are currently seeing in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. Then our reward for living in this way, in this temporary world that we now see on the "outside" of us, is an eternal crop and an eternal house of "separation from" God within us, even though God repeatedly tries to show us the "Truth of our life", and the "Truth of God " hidden within that truth. And the "Truth of our life" is that we are the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us, and the "Truth of God" within us, is that God is the "Seed of True Man" within the "Seed of God" within the Creation of God within us. Which is what God repeatedly tries to show us, before we die to the "outside" of us, and which God is trying to show us right now, in this letter to "all of us", to all of the Children of God in this age, for it is certain not coming from this child, but like the rest of us, it is most certainly coming to Louie Beutler from God within us all. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. All praise and praising belong to God, and to God alone. Only God is Great. Amen. So we will awaken to these truths within us, before it is too late, and like the apple seed buried within the earth that awakens to and acceps the "truth of itself" and to the "truth of the apple tree" hidden within it, we too will accepts our truths, letting the "truth surrender to the truth" within us, and we too will germinate, revealing God within True Man within us, and True Man within God withn us, and as such we are "One", "us" within us, God within us, and True Man within us are "One", as the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruit are One. And all of which is beautifully described in Spiritual Letter 60, "Understanding The Sin of Righteousness" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com), a letter that was started in April 2004, after we were given a copy of the "Gospel of John" to read, which we did and are still doing, given to us by Paul and Joan Sturgis at the Class 47.5 Reunion, a letter which is still being written to Paul and Joan Sturgis, and to Pierce and Dolores Pelouze, and to all of our dearest loving classmates of HMHS Class of 56, if they want it, all within the justice of God within us. In this way, this is what we all will get after we die, the "truth of ourselves", that God separates out of us, that God harvests from each of us after we die, the "truth of ourselves" that we have each grown within ourselves while we lived in the world, either trusting in and loving God, and only in God within us, in this way, building and then becoming members of the 73rd group within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, becoming those who will spend eternity as "One with" God within us, becoming those for whom their is no judgment after death, because them have already decided on an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, before they died, living as "One with" God both now and after they die. Or trusting and loving in the world on the "outside" of us, and only in the world on the "outside" of us, and not in God within us, in this way, building and then becoming members of the first 70 groups within us, of groups 01 to 70 within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, becoming those who will spend eternity as "separate from" God within us, becoming also those for whom their is no judegment after death, because them have already decided on an eternal life of "separation from" God, before they died, living in hell both now and after they die. And then there is us, then there are the two groups within us that we all fall into, the 71st and the 72nd groups within us, the groups of all those who profess faith, and trust, and love for God within us, but also who have faith, and trust, and love for the world on the "outside" of us, the groups that Jesus (peace be upon Him) warned us about, the two groups who without knowing it have fallen into the "Sin of Righteousness", about the one sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) could not tell us about when He lived with us in the world over 2000 years ago, the sin that Jesus (peace be upon Him) told us at that time "that we could not bear to hear about". In this way, with us becoming those for whom their is judgment after death, having become members of the only two groups within us, of the 73 groups within us, that must go to judgment after our physical death, because we have not yet decided before our death, we have not yet decided on an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God, before we die, because we still trust and love both, we still trust and love in both God within us, and in the world on the "outside" of us up to the time we die. We have not yet made a decision before our death, so God must make it for us after our death, and in the process, after our death God must hand us over to the Angel of Death (peace be upon Him) within us, and we must then experience the "suffering of the grave" within us, because we have not let God dispel the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, before we died, that in our ignorance we have grown within us, and who now, and after our death will roam the world of darkness within us, causing us to live as "one with" them in hell both now and after we die. And then we must go to judgment, which in the Islamic tradition is called Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) where God must decide our disposition for eternity, since during our life we did not let God pass judgment on the Creation of God within us, removing their "separation from" God within us, while we were still alive in the world, in this way bringing them to "completeness" within us, if that be their intention, through our awakened wisdom and our liberated soul. In this way, allowing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us to recover from His fall from grace within us, and complete the journey that God sent Him on, which was to join as one with our awakened wisdom, and with our liberated soul to become the "Palace of our 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, which is the "House of Light" within us that can travel to the next school of God within us, the "School of Light", after we physically die to the "outside" of us, or after the "outside" of us is prematurely destroyed for all of us, by "one of us", which can also happen in our age. But instead of all this, instead of having to experience all of this, after we die to the "outtsde" of us, experiencing the "suffering of the grave", and "Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment)" within us, if instead, we truly accept the "Comforter" of God for our age, as the "Gift of God" for the Children of God for our age, and join in partnership with Him against the "Enemy of the soul" within us, which is our life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, before we die to the "outside" of us, accept and become "One with" Him within us, and with God within Him, as the "One" both within us and on the "outside" of us, then our life has been successful within our own lifetime, no matter what, for God will do everything else. This is God's gurantee for the Children of God for this age. May we all know this now, and accept this truth of our life, for this age, without the slightest doubt, because if we have doubt, then "we are out", and start to act accordingly. Amen. And if we do this, at least join with God within us to truly start to do this, before we die to the "outside" of us, then our awakened wisdom within us, joined as "One with" with our liberated soul, and with God within Them within us, as the Holy Trinity of God within us, from the Christian tradition, and as the Triple Flame of God within us, from the Islamic tradition, can and will reprove or gently correct our "Sin of Righteousness" within us, if we will only let Them, and gradually pull us into Them before we die, into the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, correctly bringing all that we currently see and do on the "outside" of us to an end, as well as bringing to an end everything currently within us that creates this illusion of an "outside" of us. Amen. Then and only then, can we truly avoid all of this "suffering of the grave" within us, and all of this "judgment after death" within us, and an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which if we don't do this while we are still living in the world on the "outside" of us then becomes our fate. And in this way, if we do this, if we truly join with God within us to set and fix our intention within us, to become "One with" God within us, before we die, and make this our only work both within us, and on the "outside" of us, until we die, then God within us will do everything else, then we will become a member of the 73rd group within us, before we die to the "outside" of us. And as a member of the 73rd group, after we die, we can travel in the "House of Light" that has been build within us, directly to the "Next School of God" within us, that is, going to the "School of Light" within us, where God personally teaches us about God within us, having passed all of our exams, and successfully graduated from this "School of Contrasts" within us, having come to understand everything that currently "separates us" from God within us. Amen. Such is the "Sin of Righteousness" within us, and the "Comforter", the "Spirit of Truth" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, that can reprove or gently remove this subtle sin from within us, if we will only accept Him and let Him, if we will only join as "One with" Him to do this "Heart's Work" within us, before we die. Amen. And now with the physical passing of our Father from the world on the "outside" of us, on December 8th, 1975, the "Comforter" becomes each of "Us", if we want it, if we truly want to become "One with" God within us, before we die too die to the "outside" of us. In this way, the "Comforter" for this age has now become our awakened wisdom within us, joined as "One with" our liberated soul within us, and God within Them, in this way, the "Comforter" for our age has now become the "Three of God" within us, joined as "One" within us, and the name of Them within us for our age, the "Name of our Wisdom" joined as "One with" our liberated soul and God within us, the Name of the "Truth of God" within our wisdom within us, for this age within us, is in truth "Our Name" within us, which in truth is the name of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us, who has now become "One with" us" within us, if we truly want it. For as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us so beautifully in the beautiful two discourses that His Holiness gave to us on April 26, 1972, which were given the titles, "How to merge with the Guru", and "How to reach and merge with God", "That if you become "One with" your Guru or Shaikh (with the "Gift of God" for your age for the Children of God for your age) then He becomes your soul, and you become His form." Amen. [Note: to read an on-line version of these two beautiful discourses, as well as the beautiful song to God also given to us by our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), the "Kalimah Song", on the same day, April 26, 1972, the day which His Holiness told us at that time, was the "One good day in a 100" years, please click on the following, that is, to directly access these two discourses and the Kalimah Song: 1) Spiritual Discourse 01, "How merge with the Guru", (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) 2) Spiritual Discourse 02, "How to reach and merge with God", (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com) 3) Spiritual Song 01, "The Kalimah Song", (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com)] As the name of Them at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, over 2000 years ago on the "outside" of us, was Jesus (peace be upon Him), as the Sun or Light of God within us, as the name of Them at the time of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) within us, over 1400 years ago, was Nur Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as the Light of our Wisdom within us, as the body of our soul within us, as the name of Them at the time of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within us, over 1000 years ago, was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the Light of our Truth within us, as the "giver of life back to true belief" within us, which is "God's belief in God" within us, as the "bringer of the pure light of truth" within us. Amen. And now it is in our court, now it is up to each of us, if we want it, that is, to become His Children (Ral.) on the "outside" of us, and in this way, to become the "Comforter", the "Spirit of Truth" for our age, for all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters who don't yet know about it, about the "Gift of God" for our age, both within them and on the "outside" of them, for all of the Children of God for our age, if they want it. Such is the truth of each of living in this age, whether we know it or not, even whether we want it or not, it is our true birthright, our true heritage for this age, the destiny of our soul, and in this way, God has provided each of "us", if we want it, to remind they about "who they already are", and about "what they already know". Amen. Such are the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us) for our age, on the "outside" of us, helping our dearest loving brothers and sisters in whatever way they need, like this letter to "us", from God within us, my dearest loving brother Ellis. As well as, some earlier letters to Paul and Joan Sturgis, and to Pierce and Delores Pelouze, as "Spiritual Letter 60", "Understanding the Sin of Righteousness" (www. SpiritualLetter060.homestead.corm), and "Spiritual Letter 57", "Don't Forget Me, Don't Forget Me, Don't Forget Me" (www.SpiritualLetter060.homestead.com), which is what His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) told us in a short discourse, a month or so before He died. Amen. Such is the "Gift of God" for our age, to the Children of God for our age, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), who can and will teach us about this subtle sin of "separation from" God within us, again if we will only accept and let Them, accept Them as the "Comforter" that Jesus (peace be upon Him) promised He would send to us later, after He left the world, the "Comforter" who would teach us about, and "reprove" or gently correct this subtle sin within each of us, if we well only accept Him and let Him, the "Sin of Righteousness". If we would only accept Him, as coming from Jesus (peace be upon Him), as coming as the "Gift of God" for our age for the Children of God for our age, if we would only accept Him as such, and having accepted Him as such, if we would only let Him reprove us or gently correct us, if we would only let Him pull us into Himself, and into God within Him, in this way, discarding from within us all of our current trust in the world, and our love for the world on the "outside" of us, in this way, allowing us to again become "One with" God within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, and in this way, allowing God within us to move us into the 73rd group within us, before we physically die to the "outside" of us. And in this way, "separating from" us all that currently "separates us" from God within us, which is our current "separation from" God, our current "separation from" each other, and our current "separation from" the Creation of God within them Such is the justice of God for all of us. Quote from the "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verses 7 to 15 For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) teaches us in Chapter 16, verses 7 to 15, in the "Gospel of John" (www.GospelOfJohn.homestead.com), ----- beginning of quote from "Gospel of John", Chapter 16, Verses 7 to 15 ----- "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the "Comforter" will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He come, He will reprove the world of sin, and (the world) of righteousness, and (the world) of judgment: 1) (Reproving the world) of sin, because they believe not on Me; 2) (Reproving The world) of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; 3) (And reproving the world) of judgment, because the prince of this world (of darkness) is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you" ----- end of quotation from "Gospel of John", Chapter 16, Verses 7 to 15 ----- And such is the "Gift of God" for our age, of the "Comforter" that Jesus (peace be upon Him) promised to send us, to teach us about the things that Jesus (peace be upon Him) could not yet teach us, because we "could not bear" to hear them, but now we can hear them, and what Jesus (peace be upon Him) couldn't tell us is that God is "Oneness", that Man is "Oneness", and that God and Man are One, that in truth God and Man are the "Oneness of God and True Man". That just like the apple seed, the apple tree, and the apple fruit are One, so are we, so God, and True Man, and each of us are "One". This is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) could not tell the Children of God in that age, that the "Comforter" can now tell us, that our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) can now tell us, can now tell the Children of God for our age, because now we are ready to hear it, now we are capable of hearing it, because God has made it so, now we can trust and believe in it, accept it, and become "One with" it. Now we are ready. Now all that is left is our choice, to either accept or reject it. May we all join with God within us to make the correct choice, before it is too late, before we die to the "outside" of us, or before the "outside" of all of us is prematurely destroyed by "one of us", because in age this can also happen. May God protect us all. Amen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. All praise and praising belong to God, and to God alone. Only God is Great. Amen.
