Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 43 2. The World Gives Explanations To Our Wisdom, Not To Us - not to "us" in the state of "separation from" God 3. The Journey of Muhammad (Sal.) Within Us On Mi'raj - must become our journey within us, for only then will true learning occur within us, because the dunya, the 70,000 veils of separation from God within us, will only give up their secrets to wisdom, to the One within us who is "One with" God within us, not to "us", not to the one within us who is "separate from" God within us, which is our current state 4. The Battle Between Muhammad (Sal.) & The "Beast" Within Us - and the question is, "Who will come out first of at least one of us, Muhammad (Sal.) or the "Beast"? For this will determine the state of all of us in the hereafter, either an eternal life of "oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God. The choice is ours. May we all join together at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) to ensure that Muhammad (Sal.) within at least one of us makes it out first 5. The Four Places of Great Significance In The World Today - are Jerusalem, Baghdad, Sri Lanka (formally Ceylon), and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. We must be very, very careful when dealing with these places in this age, because they are pivotal to our reaching the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, before we die 6. A Prayer or Dua' To Bawa Within Us, And To God Within Him - to save us from our own stupidity, of acting without or "separate from" our wisdom, and the truth of God within us, without first becoming One with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, without first becoming the "living presence of God" for our age Page 2 of 2: - click HERE to go to Page 2 of 2 7. Understanding The Gift of God for Our Age - understanding the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both on the "outside" of us, while He was with us in the world, and now since His passing, on the "inside" of each of us 8. Learning To Do Our Duty "Here" From "There" - as the "living presence of God" for this age, for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) 9. Completing The Journey of Muhammad (Sal.) Within Us - transforming the Nur Muhammad, as the Seed of Iman, as the Seed of True Man within us, that God personally placed on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, which is the dunya or this earth world within us, which is the Creation of God within us, into Allah Muhammad or True Man, into the Seed of Islam, the Seed of God within us, in order to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, that we must then personally place on the forehead of the Children of Adam (peace be upon Them) within us, which is akhirah or the hereafter within us, which is the Creation of True Man within us, in order to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us 10. Closing Prayer & Comments Text of Spiritual Letter: 1. Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 43 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum 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 brothers & sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Today in our prayers Bawa gave this Child a very beautiful explanation of the wisdom meaning of the following "Quote of the Month", from the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for January, 2003, an explanation which Bawa told this child to share with each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. "All the things you see and the various scenes toward which you direct your gaze - all these spectacles of nature in the dunya, which is the world - have been fashioned by Allahu ta-ala Nayan (1) as your friends and loved one, who will give explanations to your wisdom." Quotation From: The Resonance of Allah: Resplendent Explanations Arising from the Nur, Allah's Wisdom of Grace Footnote: (1), A = Arabic, T = Tamil Allahu ta'ala Nayan (A, T): the Beautiful Undiminishing Master. The One who exists in all lives in a state of humility and exaltedness (From the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", page 145) My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. The World Gives Explanations To Our Wisdom, Not To Us In truth the world within us only gives explanations to our wisdom within us, and to the truth of God within our wisdom, to our Shaikh within us, and to God within Him, not to us as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. In this way, the world within us only gives explanations to Muhammad (Sal.) on Mi'raj within us, not to us living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. 3. The Journey of Muhammad (Sal.) Within Us On Mi'raj - must become our journey within us, for only then will true learning occur within us, because the dunya, the 70,000 veils of separation from God within us, will only give up their secrets to wisdom, to the One within us who is "One with" God within us, not to "us", not to the one within us that is "separate from" God within us, which is our current state Therefore, this must become our goal in life, before we die, to become One with Muhammad (Sal.) within us, so True Prayer can occur in our life, before we die, so we can then become One with God within Him, and we must do it now, we must do this before we die, or it will never be done within us. This is the great learning for this child, the learning of God for our age, the learning within the life and teaching of God for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is our age, the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that God has placed both "outside" of us, and "inside" of us, for the Children of God for this age, which is all of us living in this age, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not. This is our birthright, our true heritage for this age. So, true learning will only come to us, the learning that will liberate our soul from the cross of our elemental body, the learning that will liberate the life of our soul, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him), that we each have crucified on our elemental body with the 5 nails of desire for earth, fire, water, air, and ether, that we have crucified, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters, with our "friends and loved ones", in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. So, true learning will only come to us, and an eternal life of "oneness with" God will only be our reward for out time in the world, by going on the journey of Muhammad (Sal.), by completing the journey of Mi'raj within us, before we die, by becoming the 27th letter of man before we die. A journey of Muhammad (Sal.) which starts within us as the journey of the 25th letter of man within us, of Muhammad (Sal.) as the seed of the Nur Muhammad within us, the seed of the Nur Muhammad, of Muhammad (Sal.) as the seed of Iman, as the seed of True Man, first becoming Iman within us, then becoming the Nur Muhammad within us, and finally becoming Allah Muhammad or True Man within us, and in this way, by becoming Allah Muhammad within us, becoming the seed of Islam within us, the seed of Allah within us. Such is the journey of the soul within us, that, before we die, we must realize, understand, accept, and join with, as our journey, as the journey that God has placed within each of us, that can truly be realized in this age, by any one of us living in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Which is our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we will but have the faith, certitude, and determination to accept the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each one of us, before we were born into this world, to accept this gift of God for our age, for the Children of God for this age, as our true heritage, as our true birthright, as the true destiny of our soul. A birthright, a heritage, a true destiny that God has placed on the forehead of Adam within us (peace be upon Him), of Adam (peace be upon Him) as the 24 letters of the Kalimah within us, which in maturity is the form of the "Iman of the Kalimah" within us, is the journey of the Nur Muhammad within us on Mi'raj, revealing in this way the 27th letter of man, and within that revealing the 28th letter of man, which is the state of Insan Muhammad, and revealing within that True Man, as "Alhamd", as the five letter life of "Alif, Laam, Meem, Hay, and Dahl", as the "Secret form of the truth of Allah", as the form of the Suratal Fatihah, and within that, "The Ruh, the Wisdom, and the Nur, in a most mysterious form of Grace." For as Bawa teaches us in the "Kalimah Song", that He sang to us on April 26, 1972, and is published on page 130, in the book, "Songs of God's Grace", under the title, "You Need Certitude To Open Your Hearts and Realize Him" (Translated by Professor M. Mauroof), and was later re-translated by our dear sister Usha Balamore and was published as an audio tape, "In a state of expansion, alif, laam, meem, and the Triple Flame that has become clear, become the Ruh, the Wisdom, and the Nur, in a most mysterious form of Grace. That form of Grace becoming Wisdom, Wisdom becoming the Nur, and the Nur will become God." 4. The Battle Between Muhammad (Sal.) & The "Beast" Within Us - and the question is, "Who will come out of at least one of us first, Muhammad (Sal.) or the "Beast"? For this will determine the state of all of us in the hereafter, either an eternal life of "oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God. The choice is ours. May we all join together at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) to ensure that Muhammad (Sal.) within at least one of us makes it out first All of which can only occur within us after Adam within us (peace be upon Him) has recovered from his fall from grace, from giving birth to Adam (A.S.), and Eve (A.S.), as well as the snake and the peacock within us, creating in this way the four corners of the world within us, the four corners known as the East, West, South, and North within us, of Akhirah within us, which is our innermost heart, and of the Dunya within us, of the earth world within us, which now surrounds and hides Akhirah, the hereafter within us. The four corners of the Dunya or earth world within us, which in this age have become the four "Places of Great Significance" in our world, which collectively represent the effort by Bawa within us, and by God within Him, by our wisdom and our truth, to protect us from the "beast", which is growing and quickly coming to maturity within each of us, and which, if we are not very, very careful in this age, will prematurely come out of one of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) has come out of at least one of us, who is also growing and quickly coming to maturity within each of us, and if this happens, if the "beast" comes out first, then the "beast" will destroy the "outside" of all of us, and not be destroyed by Muhammad (Sal.), revealing in the process akhirah within the dunya within us, which is God's plan for us, and in this way, the "beast" will destroy any chance of any of us getting it right before we die. Which means, if the "beast" is not destroyed by Muhammad (Sal.), all of us must then follow our fate to the Angel of Death within us, and experience the suffering of the grave within us, and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, and eventually an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. Such is our fate, our destiny, our karma, an eternal life of "separation from" God, if we don't join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to get Muhammad (Sal.) to come out of at least one of us, before the "beast" comes out of one of us, before the "beast" moves from the "inside" of one of us, and enters the "outside" of all of us, and in this way, permanently and prematurely destroys the "outside" for all of us, permanently and prematurely destroys any chance of any of us getting it right before we die, of any of us returning victoriously to the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us before we die. 5. The Four Places of Great Significance In The World Today - are Jerusalem, Baghdad, Sri Lanka (formally Ceylon), and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. We must be very, very careful when dealing with these places in this age, they are pivotal to our reaching the "Oneness of God and True Man" before we die And these four "Places of Great Significance" in the world today are: 1) Jerusalem, in the Middle East - the gate for this age guarding the North, from the forces of the Elemental Spirits within us, that would rob us of our true Spirit, of the life of our Soul, that guard us from the forces of elemental spirits such as ghosts, jinns, fairies, and demons, the section within our chest. 2) Baghdad, in Iraq - the gate for this age guarding the East, guarding us from the forces of fire within us, from the forces of Destruction within us, guarding us from the section within us know as our Stomach. 3) Sri Lanka or Ceylon - the gate for this age guarding the South, guarding us from the forces of water within us, from the forces of Creation within us, guarding us from the section within us below our waist. 4) Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, USA - the gate for this age guarding the West, from the forces of Elemental Thought, of elemental ideas, abstractions, fantasies, and intentions, from our Elemental Senses, that would rob us from our Wisdom, and from the Truth of God within our Wisdom, and from our true experience of God within the "open space" within us, that guard us from the 400 trillion, 10 thousand, spiritual energies within us, the section above our neck, the section of the head, and of the open space above the head. And if any of these four gates are destroyed by us, in our ignorance, through our life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, which is what we are collectively as the "Government of America" about to do, with "America planning to invade Iraq", destroying in the process the "Gate of Bagdad", which is the only thing holding back the "beast" as the Fire within all of us, the "beast" as our Destruction, from emerging from one of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) comes out of one of us. If we do this, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, then it is all over for all of us, no matter who wins on the "outside" of us, for very quickly after this stupidity, there will be no "outside" for any of us. May we all reflect on this wisdom point a little, it is very, very important. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). For as President Saddam Hussein of Iraq recently said, in a formal talk to the "People of Iraq", as reported on January 17, 2003, by The Associated Press, "A defiant Saddam Hussein called on his people Friday to rise up and defend the nation against a new U.S.-led attack and promised that Iraq's enemies would face "suicide'' at the gates of his capital." 6. A Prayer or Dua' To Bawa Within Us, And To God Within Him - to save us from our own stupidity In this way, may we all start to pray to God to save the world from its stupidity, as Bawa prayed to God to save us from our stupidity, "O Bawa, O God, please protect us from our own stupidity, from falling into the trap of trying to protect ourselves rather than turning to You for our protection, rather than turning to You to help us see what is really behind our stupidity." "O Bawa, O God, please help all of our brothers and sisters in the world, protect them also from their stupidity, and especially the members of the American Government, and President Bush, to see that our only true enemy lies within us, the only true enemy is our own life of darkness that is trying to keep us "separate from" You, and "separate from" Your lives of grace, light, and 'ilm or divine knowledge within us." "O Bawa, O God, please help all of our brothers and sisters in the world to realize, understand, accept, and join with the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), the Gift of God for this age." "O Bawa, O God, please help us all to realize, without the slightest doubt, that our only true enemy is our own life of arrogance, karma, and illusion that has grown within us, that has gradually grown over our soul, that is keeping our soul crucified on the cross of our elemental body, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us." "O Bawa, O God, please do this, in the name of God, in the name of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in the name of grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.), the reviver of the Deen or Light of the Prophet, of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), in the name of the Prophet Muhammad (Sal), and in the name of all of Your 124,000 Prophets, Saints, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God." Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Please know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly. There is not much time left. Please pray to God to stop this stupidity, as Bawa prayed to God to stop our stupidity, when He saw, right before He died, that some of His Children had again gone astray, had again broken up into the Three Upper Groups of the 73 groups of man, Group 71, 72, and 73, rather than staying in the only one true Group of Man, the 73rd group, that He had personally come into the world to move all of us into, before He died, and before we died. Please click HERE to read the beautiful discourse by His Holiness, "The Final Judgment by God of the Creation of God", that was printed as part of the 1991 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, that relates the prayers to God, prayed by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in order to save us, to save the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) from our own stupidity, a discourse which is also discussed by this child in Spiritual Letter 27, "The Three Judgments by God". As our Father prayed to God for our stupidity, for the stupidity of His Children, so must we now pray to God for the world, for our brothers and sisters who are still locked within their own stupidity. This is our duty to the world. For as Bawa prayed to God for us, to help us get past our own stupidity, for our rejecting the wisdom and truth of God within us, for our trying to return to God as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God personally and every so lovingly placed in the hearts of each of us, even before we came to this dunya, even before we came to this earth world, in order to sit on God's lap, as His Wisdom "teaches us what we do not know", in order to understand who "we already are", so must we pray to God for our brothers and sisters in the world. For as Bawa prayed to God for us, for God to help us, to stop us from trying to use what God has discarded to get to God, rather than using God to get to God, rather than using our wisdom and the truth of God within our wisdom, to get to God, rather than using our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to get to God, so must we now pray to God for our brothers and sisters in the world, who are still trying to use "themselves", and their "brothers and sisters", and the things of the world, to get to God. In this way, may each of us, may each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is each of us living in the world today, may all of His Children now pray to God for the stupidity of the world, for what it is about to do, which is to undo in one stupid act, what it took Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) 100 years to accomplish, to do to the world both "inside" and "outside" of us, from 1886 AD to 1986 AD, which is to protect us in this age from ourselves, by establishing for this age, these "Four Gates" of Wisdom. By establishing for this age, these "Four Gates" of Wisdom that protect us from the final assault by the "beast" within each of us, to destroy the "outside" of all of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) within each of us, can come out of at least "one of us" to secure an eternal future of peace and tranquility for all of us, an eternal future of "oneness with" God, of "oneness with" each other, and of "oneness with" the Creation of God within us, for all of us, an eternal future of peace and tranquility in akhirah within each of us, and in this way, with the hereafter, with akhirah quickly becoming our new world, becoming the "here" and "now" for all of us, for eternity. May we all reflect on these beautiful words of wisdom a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and share them with our brothers and sisters. They are very, very important for all of us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Ameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.

Closing Prayer & Comments Text of Spiritual Letter: 1. Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 43 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum 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 brothers & sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Today in our prayers Bawa gave this Child a very beautiful explanation of the wisdom meaning of the following "Quote of the Month", from the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, for January, 2003, an explanation which Bawa told this child to share with each of you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. "All the things you see and the various scenes toward which you direct your gaze - all these spectacles of nature in the dunya, which is the world - have been fashioned by Allahu ta-ala Nayan (1) as your friends and loved one, who will give explanations to your wisdom." Quotation From: The Resonance of Allah: Resplendent Explanations Arising from the Nur, Allah's Wisdom of Grace Footnote: (1), A = Arabic, T = Tamil Allahu ta'ala Nayan (A, T): the Beautiful Undiminishing Master. The One who exists in all lives in a state of humility and exaltedness (From the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", page 145) My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. The World Gives Explanations To Our Wisdom, Not To Us In truth the world within us only gives explanations to our wisdom within us, and to the truth of God within our wisdom, to our Shaikh within us, and to God within Him, not to us as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. In this way, the world within us only gives explanations to Muhammad (Sal.) on Mi'raj within us, not to us living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. 3. The Journey of Muhammad (Sal.) Within Us On Mi'raj - must become our journey within us, for only then will true learning occur within us, because the dunya, the 70,000 veils of separation from God within us, will only give up their secrets to wisdom, to the One within us who is "One with" God within us, not to "us", not to the one within us that is "separate from" God within us, which is our current state Therefore, this must become our goal in life, before we die, to become One with Muhammad (Sal.) within us, so True Prayer can occur in our life, before we die, so we can then become One with God within Him, and we must do it now, we must do this before we die, or it will never be done within us. This is the great learning for this child, the learning of God for our age, the learning within the life and teaching of God for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is our age, the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that God has placed both "outside" of us, and "inside" of us, for the Children of God for this age, which is all of us living in this age, whether we know it or not, whether we like it or not, whether we want it or not. This is our birthright, our true heritage for this age. So, true learning will only come to us, the learning that will liberate our soul from the cross of our elemental body, the learning that will liberate the life of our soul, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him), that we each have crucified on our elemental body with the 5 nails of desire for earth, fire, water, air, and ether, that we have crucified, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters, with our "friends and loved ones", in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. So, true learning will only come to us, and an eternal life of "oneness with" God will only be our reward for out time in the world, by going on the journey of Muhammad (Sal.), by completing the journey of Mi'raj within us, before we die, by becoming the 27th letter of man before we die. A journey of Muhammad (Sal.) which starts within us as the journey of the 25th letter of man within us, of Muhammad (Sal.) as the seed of the Nur Muhammad within us, the seed of the Nur Muhammad, of Muhammad (Sal.) as the seed of Iman, as the seed of True Man, first becoming Iman within us, then becoming the Nur Muhammad within us, and finally becoming Allah Muhammad or True Man within us, and in this way, by becoming Allah Muhammad within us, becoming the seed of Islam within us, the seed of Allah within us. Such is the journey of the soul within us, that, before we die, we must realize, understand, accept, and join with, as our journey, as the journey that God has placed within each of us, that can truly be realized in this age, by any one of us living in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). Which is our age, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we will but have the faith, certitude, and determination to accept the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each one of us, before we were born into this world, to accept this gift of God for our age, for the Children of God for this age, as our true heritage, as our true birthright, as the true destiny of our soul. A birthright, a heritage, a true destiny that God has placed on the forehead of Adam within us (peace be upon Him), of Adam (peace be upon Him) as the 24 letters of the Kalimah within us, which in maturity is the form of the "Iman of the Kalimah" within us, is the journey of the Nur Muhammad within us on Mi'raj, revealing in this way the 27th letter of man, and within that revealing the 28th letter of man, which is the state of Insan Muhammad, and revealing within that True Man, as "Alhamd", as the five letter life of "Alif, Laam, Meem, Hay, and Dahl", as the "Secret form of the truth of Allah", as the form of the Suratal Fatihah, and within that, "The Ruh, the Wisdom, and the Nur, in a most mysterious form of Grace." For as Bawa teaches us in the "Kalimah Song", that He sang to us on April 26, 1972, and is published on page 130, in the book, "Songs of God's Grace", under the title, "You Need Certitude To Open Your Hearts and Realize Him" (Translated by Professor M. Mauroof), and was later re-translated by our dear sister Usha Balamore and was published as an audio tape, "In a state of expansion, alif, laam, meem, and the Triple Flame that has become clear, become the Ruh, the Wisdom, and the Nur, in a most mysterious form of Grace. That form of Grace becoming Wisdom, Wisdom becoming the Nur, and the Nur will become God." 4. The Battle Between Muhammad (Sal.) & The "Beast" Within Us - and the question is, "Who will come out of at least one of us first, Muhammad (Sal.) or the "Beast"? For this will determine the state of all of us in the hereafter, either an eternal life of "oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God. The choice is ours. May we all join together at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) to ensure that Muhammad (Sal.) within at least one of us makes it out first All of which can only occur within us after Adam within us (peace be upon Him) has recovered from his fall from grace, from giving birth to Adam (A.S.), and Eve (A.S.), as well as the snake and the peacock within us, creating in this way the four corners of the world within us, the four corners known as the East, West, South, and North within us, of Akhirah within us, which is our innermost heart, and of the Dunya within us, of the earth world within us, which now surrounds and hides Akhirah, the hereafter within us. The four corners of the Dunya or earth world within us, which in this age have become the four "Places of Great Significance" in our world, which collectively represent the effort by Bawa within us, and by God within Him, by our wisdom and our truth, to protect us from the "beast", which is growing and quickly coming to maturity within each of us, and which, if we are not very, very careful in this age, will prematurely come out of one of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) has come out of at least one of us, who is also growing and quickly coming to maturity within each of us, and if this happens, if the "beast" comes out first, then the "beast" will destroy the "outside" of all of us, and not be destroyed by Muhammad (Sal.), revealing in the process akhirah within the dunya within us, which is God's plan for us, and in this way, the "beast" will destroy any chance of any of us getting it right before we die. Which means, if the "beast" is not destroyed by Muhammad (Sal.), all of us must then follow our fate to the Angel of Death within us, and experience the suffering of the grave within us, and Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment) within us, and eventually an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. Such is our fate, our destiny, our karma, an eternal life of "separation from" God, if we don't join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to get Muhammad (Sal.) to come out of at least one of us, before the "beast" comes out of one of us, before the "beast" moves from the "inside" of one of us, and enters the "outside" of all of us, and in this way, permanently and prematurely destroys the "outside" for all of us, permanently and prematurely destroys any chance of any of us getting it right before we die, of any of us returning victoriously to the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us before we die. 5. The Four Places of Great Significance In The World Today - are Jerusalem, Baghdad, Sri Lanka (formally Ceylon), and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. We must be very, very careful when dealing with these places in this age, they are pivotal to our reaching the "Oneness of God and True Man" before we die And these four "Places of Great Significance" in the world today are: 1) Jerusalem, in the Middle East - the gate for this age guarding the North, from the forces of the Elemental Spirits within us, that would rob us of our true Spirit, of the life of our Soul, that guard us from the forces of elemental spirits such as ghosts, jinns, fairies, and demons, the section within our chest. 2) Baghdad, in Iraq - the gate for this age guarding the East, guarding us from the forces of fire within us, from the forces of Destruction within us, guarding us from the section within us know as our Stomach. 3) Sri Lanka or Ceylon - the gate for this age guarding the South, guarding us from the forces of water within us, from the forces of Creation within us, guarding us from the section within us below our waist. 4) Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, USA - the gate for this age guarding the West, from the forces of Elemental Thought, of elemental ideas, abstractions, fantasies, and intentions, from our Elemental Senses, that would rob us from our Wisdom, and from the Truth of God within our Wisdom, and from our true experience of God within the "open space" within us, that guard us from the 400 trillion, 10 thousand, spiritual energies within us, the section above our neck, the section of the head, and of the open space above the head. And if any of these four gates are destroyed by us, in our ignorance, through our life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, which is what we are collectively as the "Government of America" about to do, with "America planning to invade Iraq", destroying in the process the "Gate of Bagdad", which is the only thing holding back the "beast" as the Fire within all of us, the "beast" as our Destruction, from emerging from one of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) comes out of one of us. If we do this, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, then it is all over for all of us, no matter who wins on the "outside" of us, for very quickly after this stupidity, there will be no "outside" for any of us. May we all reflect on this wisdom point a little, it is very, very important. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). For as President Saddam Hussein of Iraq recently said, in a formal talk to the "People of Iraq", as reported on January 17, 2003, by The Associated Press, "A defiant Saddam Hussein called on his people Friday to rise up and defend the nation against a new U.S.-led attack and promised that Iraq's enemies would face "suicide'' at the gates of his capital." 6. A Prayer or Dua' To Bawa Within Us, And To God Within Him - to save us from our own stupidity In this way, may we all start to pray to God to save the world from its stupidity, as Bawa prayed to God to save us from our stupidity, "O Bawa, O God, please protect us from our own stupidity, from falling into the trap of trying to protect ourselves rather than turning to You for our protection, rather than turning to You to help us see what is really behind our stupidity." "O Bawa, O God, please help all of our brothers and sisters in the world, protect them also from their stupidity, and especially the members of the American Government, and President Bush, to see that our only true enemy lies within us, the only true enemy is our own life of darkness that is trying to keep us "separate from" You, and "separate from" Your lives of grace, light, and 'ilm or divine knowledge within us." "O Bawa, O God, please help all of our brothers and sisters in the world to realize, understand, accept, and join with the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), the Gift of God for this age." "O Bawa, O God, please help us all to realize, without the slightest doubt, that our only true enemy is our own life of arrogance, karma, and illusion that has grown within us, that has gradually grown over our soul, that is keeping our soul crucified on the cross of our elemental body, so we can sin, so we can continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing "outside" of us." "O Bawa, O God, please do this, in the name of God, in the name of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in the name of grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.), the reviver of the Deen or Light of the Prophet, of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), in the name of the Prophet Muhammad (Sal), and in the name of all of Your 124,000 Prophets, Saints, Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God." Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Please know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly. There is not much time left. Please pray to God to stop this stupidity, as Bawa prayed to God to stop our stupidity, when He saw, right before He died, that some of His Children had again gone astray, had again broken up into the Three Upper Groups of the 73 groups of man, Group 71, 72, and 73, rather than staying in the only one true Group of Man, the 73rd group, that He had personally come into the world to move all of us into, before He died, and before we died. Please click HERE to read the beautiful discourse by His Holiness, "The Final Judgment by God of the Creation of God", that was printed as part of the 1991 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, that relates the prayers to God, prayed by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in order to save us, to save the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) from our own stupidity, a discourse which is also discussed by this child in Spiritual Letter 27, "The Three Judgments by God". As our Father prayed to God for our stupidity, for the stupidity of His Children, so must we now pray to God for the world, for our brothers and sisters who are still locked within their own stupidity. This is our duty to the world. For as Bawa prayed to God for us, to help us get past our own stupidity, for our rejecting the wisdom and truth of God within us, for our trying to return to God as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God personally and every so lovingly placed in the hearts of each of us, even before we came to this dunya, even before we came to this earth world, in order to sit on God's lap, as His Wisdom "teaches us what we do not know", in order to understand who "we already are", so must we pray to God for our brothers and sisters in the world. For as Bawa prayed to God for us, for God to help us, to stop us from trying to use what God has discarded to get to God, rather than using God to get to God, rather than using our wisdom and the truth of God within our wisdom, to get to God, rather than using our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to get to God, so must we now pray to God for our brothers and sisters in the world, who are still trying to use "themselves", and their "brothers and sisters", and the things of the world, to get to God. In this way, may each of us, may each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is each of us living in the world today, may all of His Children now pray to God for the stupidity of the world, for what it is about to do, which is to undo in one stupid act, what it took Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) 100 years to accomplish, to do to the world both "inside" and "outside" of us, from 1886 AD to 1986 AD, which is to protect us in this age from ourselves, by establishing for this age, these "Four Gates" of Wisdom. By establishing for this age, these "Four Gates" of Wisdom that protect us from the final assault by the "beast" within each of us, to destroy the "outside" of all of us, before Muhammad (Sal.) within each of us, can come out of at least "one of us" to secure an eternal future of peace and tranquility for all of us, an eternal future of "oneness with" God, of "oneness with" each other, and of "oneness with" the Creation of God within us, for all of us, an eternal future of peace and tranquility in akhirah within each of us, and in this way, with the hereafter, with akhirah quickly becoming our new world, becoming the "here" and "now" for all of us, for eternity. May we all reflect on these beautiful words of wisdom a little, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and share them with our brothers and sisters. They are very, very important for all of us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Ameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
