Introduction

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.  My God help us all.  Amen.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

In chapter 3 there is an introduction by Will Noffke, the person who interviewed His Holness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), on the program, and by Mitch Gilbert, one of the disciples of His Holiness, followed by a series of question asked by Will Noffke.

At the end is a question/anwer exchange between His Holiness and 5 people who called into the program.

So far, as an on-line version of Chapter 3, we have include part of the exchange between His Holiness and the "Fifth Caller", but plan on including the complete chapter, if this be God's intention.

The part included so far is, at least for this child, is the very "Heart" of the life and teaching of His Holiness, describing what led up to His Holiness meeting His "True Guru", and how none of it, none of what His Holiness went through before meeting His "True Shaikh", was of any real value on His "Path to God", except to allow Him to say, with certitude, "That this is certainly not it", though all of what He did prior to meeting His "True Teacher" within, is still very popular in the "Spiritual World" on the "outside" of us.

But none of it allowed His Holiness to "See God and Steady God" within Himself, which is the only true goal of the journey that many of us say that we are traveling, the main goal of the "Remembrance of God", which is the stated focus of many who say they are on the "Path of God", a practice which in the Islamic tradition is called reciting the "Kalimah".

For only when we come to the point where we stand "alone and defenseless" in front of God, and say to God, "Oh God, It is all your will", can anything truly move forward in our life along the "Path of God" within us, for in truth God is the one who must walk this path, and "we will be within it", as the Witness, as the Witness of God within us returning to God within us, of God within us revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, of God within us answering God's question within us, the question, "Who am I?"

Such is the truth of us, and the truth of God within us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we want it or not, because in truth it is "who we truly are", it is "where we truly are", and it is the only thing truly "happening in our life", because in truth it is our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul..

And the one who comes to move God within us forward on the "Path of God" within us, is God within us, is that aspect of God within us which in truth is the "Guru of God" within us all, which is the Muhaiyaddeen of God (may God be pleased with Him) within us, for in truth no one else can do this work within us, which is the wisdom surrounding our soul within us.

Which we must awaken in partnership with God within us, allowing the awakened wisdom within us to then do battle with the "Enemy of our soul' within us, which is our ego, which is our current life on the "outside" of us, which is our current life of "separation and differences", of sin, of "selfishiness" on the "outside" of us.

Which is "us" and our dearest loving brothers and sisters living in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, but which in truth is within us, as the world and lives of darkness and evil within us, that we have allow to grow within us in our ignorance, like weeds in a beautiful flower garden, and now in maturity we have become "one with" the weed within us, which are the qualities of the Creation of God within us, and of the 5 elemental spirits or ruhanies within us, instead of becoming "One with" the flowers of God within us, which is God's plan for us, which are God's Qualities within us, we have become "one with" the weeds within us, all of which now rule over us as the 9 openings of our elemental body, with God's Permission, until we "See God and Steady God" within us, if we like, allowing God to then "Cure Himself of us", if we like, to cure Himself of "us" living on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true.

Which God will most certainly do within us, before we die to the flesh, that is, if the
true intention
for our life within us, for our soul life, for Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh,
and not to continue living on the "outside" of us as if we are "separate from" God within us, until we die to the flesh. 

Because if we do, if we continue to reject God within us, and His plan for within us, and try to go "our own way" on the "outside" of us, as "separate from" God within us, then what is God to do within us, after we die to the "outside" of us, for then God must send us to hell within us, to an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, then God has no other choice, because,

          "The Justice of God within us,
          is that whatever we intend is what we will receive".

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Fifth Caller:

Many masters give experience of inner light or sound as first-hand contat with the word or the nectar of life, or they give some experience of the opening of chakras.

Why don't you feel the need to give this first-hand experience?

Guru Bawa:

His Holiness Told The "Fifth Caller":

"Yes, such teaching exists.  I will tell you about it.

[Note: His Holiness then describes all of His "False Learning" from "False Gurus", and then tells us that none of it allowed Him to "See God".  Then His Holiness teaches us what follows this "Note", that is, about the state that He had to come to, "When I was crying and in despair", before His "True Guru", the Muhaiyaddeen of God (may God be pleased with Him) came looking for Him, and then "Raised Him To A Good State".  Which is also what each of us must now do, in partnership with God within us, finding and becoming "One with" the "Gift of God" for our age, with the "Life and Teaching" of God for our age, with the "Word of God" for the "Children of God" for our age, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, if the true intention for the life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, and in this way, allowing the "True Guru" of God within us, the Muhaiyaddeen of God (may God be pleased with Him) within us, to come in search of us, and then "Raise Us To A Good State.  For more on this wisdom point, please click on the following: Spiritual Letter 75, "Truth Is Silence From Within You" (www.SpiritualLetter075. homestead.com).  Thank you.  Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen]

His Holiness Teaches Us:

"I did 64 kinds of yogas that were associated with the 64 games.  I was a guru for the people of each of the four religions for awhile.  At one time I was a Bishop.  At another time, in another religion I was a great Swami.  People gave me all these titles such as swami and all the others, but not for the sake of Divine Wisdom."

"In Islam, they gave me the title of a "Great Wise Person".  They gave me many things like this. But they did not give them to me because of Divine Wisdom.  They gave me these titles and other things because of the acts and the performances and the miracles (that I did)."

"I stayed in the Mosque like this, and I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed.  I did all of these things.  But I did not see God.  I did not see God.  God was not there."

"When I was like that, when I was crying and in despair, when I was in this state, I had to just sit.  It was then that my Guru came looking for me.  That Guru is the most rare Guru.  [That Guru is known as Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him)].  He came to me and gave me this discourse.

(His Holiness then sings):

          "He is the ray resplending from the Sun,
          He is the ray resplending from the Sun,
          He is the ray resplending from the Sun,
          In all of God's Creations, each one."

          "All of them receive His Grace
          Through His quality of Grace."

          "Coming as the Guru of God
          To all Lights on earth,
          O Father, becoming Good Qualities
          By fasting for 12 years."

"That Guru is known as Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).  He came to me."

"This is the meaning (of the song above, which now follows)."
