Here is the E-mail Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 89", which "We" have called, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin, To Be Recited Alone Each Day" Bawa. A beautiful prayer which our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to teach to each of My dearest loving brothers and sisters, if they like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this prayer, and this child, as something valuable to you, or not. Bawa. A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie. Bawa. And in this way, a prayer which has been growing within each of us, over the last 30 years, if we like, a prayer which Bawa within us, and God within Him, have called within us, "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), and now which They have called on the "outside" of us for this age, for the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin".

The True Significance of "Us" And "Our Age" - In truth, the Only Question left for our age, is "Do We Want God", that is, do we want an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, because in truth God has already given us both, and now in our age, in truth, "There is no other Choice", that is, there is no other Choice that we can now make, and still become truly successful in our lifetime. For example, like a Choice that allows us to go to some area of "Grayness" as "Mr-Inbetween", after we die to the flesh, that allows us to have a little bit of both for eternity within us, as some of My Children still mistakenly believe, but which is "Just Not True". Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, which in truth is all of us living in this age, we must begin to realize, understand, accept, and join with the "True Significance of "Us" and "Our Age", before it is too late to do so, that is, before it is too late to take advantage of either, that is, of the reality of "Us" and the reality of "Our age". Bawa. That in truth, in our age, "Oneness with" God within us is now our true destiny, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, because God within us has Chosen to "Make it So" within each of us for our age, no matter what, no matter what "we" have done, or failed to do, in our age, and no matter what God may have done in all of the Previous ages, and no matter what all of the people did in the Previous ages. Now, none of this matters. Bawa. Now, none of "The Stuff" of "us", or "The Stuff" of Previous ages matters any more, for God has wiped the slate clean, and started anew, within each of us, returning Adam (peace be upon Him) within each of us to "His Original State" within us, before the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) within us, but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) so, if we like, Adam (peace be upon Him) will never fall again, and can therefore, become what God Created Him to be within us, which is the "Palace of the 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. Amen. Bawa. In this way, we must begin to realize, understand, and accept that each of us are now in a "New Game", and now this is the "Only Game in Town". For all "Other Games", all Previous Games, that we may have liked Playing, like "us" being "Righteous or Good", on the "outside" of us, have been closed down, permanently. Bawa. And in this way, now for "Us" and for "Our Age", for each of us living in this age, there is only One Question left, that we have to Answer, and that is, do we want it, that is, do we want what God is now ready to unconditionally give to each of us, that is, "No Matter What", no matter what we may have done with our life, up to this moment, that is, to give us Himself. Bawa. That is, "Do We Want God", realizing before we answer this question, that the true nature of God within us is "Oneness" within us, not the "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us, that many of us, if not most of us, currently enjoy. And that is the true downside of this "New Game" in town, at least from a "selfish perspective", that is, "Only One Can Play" it, not two. Ok? Bawa. And that's its, that is, do we want an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, because in truth God has already given us both, and in truth, now in our age, "There is no other Choice", that is, there is no other Choice that we can make, and still become truly successful in our lifetime. For example, like a Choice that allows us to go to some area of "Grayness" as "Mr-Inbetween", after we die to the flesh, that allows us to have a little bit of both for eternity within us, as some of My Children still mistakenly believe, but which is "Just Not True". Bawa. So the only question left, for any of us, is which will we Choose for eternity within us, God or "us", that is, God as "One with" within us, or "us" as "separation from" on the "outside" of us, and a "No Choice" is a Choice, for when we die to the flesh, and we haven't explicitly made a Choice, then the "Justice of God" within us will Choose for us, determining our eternal reward by the way that "we" have lived our life on the "outside" of us, that is, by our actions, not so much by our words, and in this way, giving us either God or hell within us, that is, giving us either "Oneness with" or "separation from" within us, and in this way, the Choice is ours, not God's. May we all Choose wisely. Amen. Bawa. For according to the "Justice of God" that God has patiently and every so lovingly placed within each of us, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive." Bawa. So this Spiritual Letter is to each of "Us", who in truth are collectively the Children of God for our age, but who in truth, is the "One True Child" of God for our age, for as "God is One", in truth "So are We", if we like. Bawa. That is, this Spiritual Letter is to all of "Us", if we like, living at the feet of God for our age, which in truth for our age, is our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, is His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), also if we like. Amen. Bawa. That is, a Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to all of "Us" living at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), seeking the "One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Us) within each of us, if we like, which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, for the 6th life within our 6 lives, for the "One True Face" within our 6 illusory faces, is to again become "One with" God within us before "we" die to the flesh, that is, before "we" physically die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen . Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, When asked the following Question by a child, "Bawa, what is the relationship between us, the Prophet of God, and God?" His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) said, "Think of yourself as an orange, the Prophet of God is the juice of that orange, and God is the taste." Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 1. "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" - A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie Bawa. Here is a beautiful prayer which our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to teach to each of My dearest loving brothers and sisters, if they like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this prayer, and this child, as something valuable to you, or not. Bawa. A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie. Bawa. And in this way, a prayer which has been growing within each of us, over the last 30 years, a prayer which Bawa within us, and God within Him, that is, within each of us, if we like, have called within us, "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased within Us), and now which They have called on the "outside" of us for this age, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin". 2 About "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" - on the "outside" of us, which in truth within us, is the "Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) within us, which is how the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul, joined as "One with" our liberated soul, finds and becomes "One with" the Light of our wisdom, with the Nur Muhammad within us, which God originally placed on the Forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us. And which God has again, in His Infinite Mercy and Compassion, and at the Request of our Shaikh, of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, has again placed on "Our Forehead", establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) again within us, in His Original Condition, that is, before the "Fall of Adam)", but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam", so Adam (peace be upon Him) will never Fall Again, if we like, will never have his "own presence" and his "own story" on the illusory "outside" of us, if we like, and this time with this Eye of Wisdom permanently opened within "Our Forehead", so satan can never "Spit on Adam" within us again, separating "Us" from the "Oneness of God" within us, if we like, for now in our age, "God Has Done It All For Us", if we like, and all we have to do, is "truly accept it", in partnership with God within us, that is, "To Truly Accept What God Has Done" within us, as what we "Truly Are" for eternity within us, which is "Oneness with" God within us, and not what we "Think we want" for eternity, which is what we currently are experiencing on the "outside" of us, which is "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". So truly, now in our age, the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we will spend eternity within us, either as "One with", or as "separate from" God within us, which in truth is "separate from" Us within us, from "Our Oneness" within us, that is, from the "Truth of Us", and from the "Truth of God" within us. May we all reflect on this, in partnership with God within us, and in this way, Choose wisely. Amen. Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, the Prayer of the "Eligible Virgin", in truth is each one of us living in the world today, if we like, that is, if the True Intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell within us, of "separation from" God within us, that is, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Ok? Bawa. The "Eligible Virgin" within us, who in truth is the 2nd level of Spiritual Development within each of us, know as Thareekat in the Islamic tradition (this is how it is spelled in Chapter 14, in the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom"), and Kiriyai in the Hindi tradition, that is, that naturally opens within us when we truly reach Spiritual Puberty within us, that is, when our awakened wisdom joins as "One with" our liberated soul to go in search of the Light of our wisdom, and "We" leave all of our Spiritual Kindergarten lessons behind, now becoming the true "Wife to Be" of God within us. Bawa. In this way, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, with "Us" becoming the "True Wife of God" within us, which are the 99 Wilayats or Powers of God within us, that is, as One who has awakened to the "Truth of Oneself" and to the "Truth of God" within us, striving in all things to again become "One with" God within us, from which "We" have all come. Bawa. With the "Eligible Virgin" preparing herself in this way, in all aspects of her life, and keeping herself ready to meet her True Husband, which is God within us, within True Prayer within us, and bear Him a True Son, which is True Man within God within us, which naturally emerges out of "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (Ral.), are teaching the following to us right now, in this Spiritual Letter. Beginning of Quotation From: "The Kalimah Song" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) "Only God may Prayer to God, no one else can do this". "We cannot worship with the body, It is the life and wisdom united with each other In a state of propriety mingled with the Nur, And in the Concentration of that Light, That One must worship. "The One has to pray to the One who Is". That state of worship will become Him, And that will be understood as that. It is this state that is deathless, for which there is no re-birth". "In that state the word and the worship will become Him, And the Continuous Light and the wisdom and the Nur will become Him, That will become the Resplendent Rahman in this world and the next. Other than this, there is no other way to be the Ruler over here and there." End of Quotation From: "The Kalimah Song" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) [Note: To read an on-line copy of the rest of this Quotation, which is from the "Kalimah Song", which His Holiness sang to us, along with two discourses, "How To Merge With The Guru", and "How To Reach and Merge With God", all of which was given to us on April 26, 1972, by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), please click above or on the following, (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com) All of which has been given to us in our age, by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like. For the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we use our life up, that is, either in "our name", or in "God's Name", either in "our presence" on the "outside" of us, or in "God's Presence" within us, and either as "our story" on the "outside" of us, or as "God's Story" within us, that is, before the "outside" of us is over. Something to think about, at least. Yes?. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And in this way, with "Us" coming together daily, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we like, to recite this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", to "Recite It Alone Each Day", that is, to Recite it in a way where in truth "Only God is There", which is the true meaning of "Being Alone", if we like, in the "Name of God" for our age, if we like, in order to learn how to establish the "Presence of God" within us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by reciting it by "Not Reciting It", by joining in partnership with God within us, to "Let It Be Recited" within us, by God within us, if we like, and in this way, and only in this way, with "Us" gradually learning how to shift the focus of our life from "our presence" and "our story" on the "outside" of us, back to "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, but this time with and understanding of "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, so They will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. That is, to gradually learn how to shift our focus from the drama of our life, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the "outside" of us, to again living in the "Presence of God" within us, as God again tells and brings to Completion "His Story" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and "We" again start to Witness His doing this within us, but this time with an understanding of "our Oneness" and of "our separation", embracing one, and rejecting the other, until "Only God is There" within us. Amen. Bawa. Realizing that if we "Daily" come together in this way, that is, in the "Name of God" for our age, so God can "Be There" again within us, so in truth "We" can truly be "Alone" again within us, in the state of "True Prayer" within us, then "So will God" within us, that is, if we can "Daily" correctly join together on the "outside" of us, to do this "Heart's Work" within us, that is, "Daily" join with the Truly Awakened Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) within us, which are Those who truly know that "They can Fly" within us, and "Do What They Have Learned To Do", in partnership with God within us, then "So will God" within us, or at least to truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God within us can then do "Everything Else" to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Amen. Bawa. That is, then "God will Complete It" within us, that is, God will "Make it So" within us, and in the end, when God has Completed telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, then "We will be within it", as True Man within God within akhirah within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within the dunya within us, and in this way, the Hereafter, the "Next World", or akhirah, will be "Here and Now" within us. Amen. Bawa. For example, our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within us, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, how to recognize the difference between the 2nd Stage of Spiritual Development know as the "Eligible Virgin" or Thareekat, and the 1st Stage of Spiritual Development know as the "Kindergarten Lessons" or Shariat, a stage that many of My Children have become literally "Stuck in", or have ignored all together, although "We" told them to do it, but "We" also told them not to "Stay there", not to stay in "Kindergarten", but rather to learn to join with "Us" within them, to "Empty the Cup" within them, so God can "Fill it Again", and "Fill it Again", until "Only God is there". Ok? Bawa. In this way, all of My Children should read and reflect on the following, and get the rest of My Children to do like wise, and then do so, do so again, and again, and again, until you truly make the transition, from "kindergarten to Eligible Virgin", until you do truly become the "Eligible Virgin" searching for a "Good Husband". Beginning of Quotation From: Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development" In the book: "The Pearl of Wisdom", By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) "Learning lessons, learning them correctly, and accepting the correct version, is the path that is called the Shariat (the First or Initial stage of spiritual development). "Shariat is the equivalent of the lessons in the kindergarten. (And) you must be subtlely informed that these stages indicates scenes that illustrate the world's maya, the illusory appearances of pleasure." "This (Shariat) is the first grade. Before a child attains (Spiritual) puberty, she goes about freely everywhere. She visits the homes of her friends, relatives, and others and talks without reserve. This is similar to the period I spoke of as the kindergarten lesson. The inner meaning of this stage is what is referred to as Shariat." "The next stage (of Thareekat or the Eligible Virgin) is when the child avoids the aforesaid actions, discards the games played here and there, controls her smiles, protects her chastity (self-respect), and becomes an adolescent virgin with the physical characteristics of a grown-up. She stays at home. She know the difference between father and mother, and involves herself with their problems. She enjoys herself in the home. This is the stage comparable to Kiriyai (in the Hindi tradition, or Thareekat in the Islamic tradition)." "In an attempt to seek an ideal groom for the girl, a husband with a good character, good conduct, good wisdom, good intellect and ability, should be searched for, day and night. This is the mark of a "Good Virgin". "Running here and there, seeing several people, speaking about marriage with any person one comes across will be like the initial stage of (Spiritual Development), of Shariat (of Kindergarten Lessons, but is not appropriate for this second stage of Spiritual Development, of Thareekat, of the "Eligible Virgin" seeking the Good Husband)". "(When one enters this second stage of Spiritual Develop, of Thareekat, of the Eligible Virgin seeing the Good Husband), one must forget this (initial) stage (of Shariat) and conduct oneself like the Kiriyai (or Thareekat) girl, that is, as One who trust only One Person, and admits Only Him, to The House (of her heart). This is the Proud Behavior of the Kiriyai (or Thareekat girl), of the Eligible Virgin". "Kiriyai (or Thareekat) is comparable to a state of virginity - not look at anyone else, not speaking with others, not smiling with others, and receiving (Only) the One who has come with Certitude (in God)." "(In this way) She accepts that the One who has come as the "Lamp of Chastity", will pour oil into her Virgin Lamp. Worshipping God, and keeping (Only) Him in her heart, is the "Oiled Lamp" of Kiriyai (or Thareekat)." "This My Son, is the state of Kiriyai (or Thareekat, of the Eligible Virgin). Amen." End of Quotation From: Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development" In the book: "The Pearl of Wisdom", By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) [Note: To read an on-line copy of the rest of this Quotation, and more about the 4 stages of spiritual development, which in the Islam tradition are referred to as "Shariat, Tareekat, Haqeekat, and Marharifat", and in the Hindi tradition are referred to as "Sariyai, Kiriyai, Yogam, and Gnanam", please click on the following, Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] 3. More About "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" - on the "outside" of us, which in truth, is "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, within each of us, if we like, for in truth, for this age, this is now our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, because for our age, God has "Made it So" within us, within each and every one of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not. So "Get with the Program", that is, with "God's Program" within us, which is to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God within us to tell and bring to Completion the "Story of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, so in the end, "No Child Is Still Separate From" God within us, that is, in the end, there will be nothing Still "separate from" God within us, for Everything within us will have fallen back into God within us, from which we have all come, like the rain falling back into the ocean having completed its duty as rain, again becoming "One with" the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, no longer existing as rain. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, "We" will start E-mailing you a copy of this beautiful "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as it becomes available. Bawa. So far we have completed the first prayer in this "Prayer", which is to ask for forgiveness from God within us, with an understanding of what we truly need forgiveness for, which is for having "Forgotten God" within us, that is, to have turned away from "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, by establishing "our own presence" and "our own story" on the "outside" of us, that is, to have turned away from the "Gift of God" within us, the "Word of God" within, the "Life and Teaching of God" within us, for the Children of God within us, by establishing "our own gift", and "our own word", and "our own life and teaching", on the "outside" of us, that is, by turning way from what was leading us back to "Oneness with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it would never leave us again, by establishing what is now only leading us to an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, if we die in our current state, that is, if we don't become wise, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. In this way, "May We All Wise Up" before it is too late to do this "Heart's Work" within us, in partnership with God within us, and encourage our dearest loving brothers and sisters, to do the same, not so much by our words, but by "God's Words" flowing from within us, to the Children of God for our age, and by our example, as this child has learned to do. Amen.. Bawa. Also "We" will be putting an on-line copy of "This Prayer", as well as an explanation of it, in the On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (www.Bawa.homestead. com), which this child has been developing, at the feet of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, over the last 10 years. Bawa. The URL or Web Address for the Home Page of this on-line copy of "This Prayer", and an explanation of it, that is, for "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", or "The Eligible Virgin Prayer" is (www.EligibleVirginPrayer.homestead.com). Bawa. So please check in every now and then and see how "We are doing", that is, how this "Labor of Love" is going if you like, for in truth it is "All About Us", for in truth "We are All One", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, since for our age, this is now our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, because in truth, God has "Made it So" within us for our age. Bawa. That is, for this age which in truth is "Now Qiyamah" (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), that is, Qiyamah but now on the "outside" of us, Qiyamah on the "outside" of us, so if we like, we will never have to face it within us, we will not have to face Qiyamah in our current state, after we die to the flesh, that is, in our current state of living as "one with" everything that "God has discarded" from within Himself, in partnership with God within Himself, in order to become God within us, as now "We" must do the same within us, if we like, in partnership with God within us. For the Choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His Choice, and He Chose God within Him, and because God within us, and now , if we like, "So Can We". And this is how God and our life really works. Ok? Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "At the end of time, which is now, God will send One who will explain again everything that had been explained before, by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, coming into the world over, and over again, to all people, to all races, for the last 200 million years, that is, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into this earth world or dunya, but this time, with no veils." "And everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left, is "Do We Want It", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or not, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because in truth "There is no other Choice." Bawa. And in this way, My dearest loving brothers and sisters, in truth, "There is no other Choice", that is, with us in the end, at the end of the "outside" of us, getting as our eternal reward, either an eternal life within us as "Oneness with" God within us, or an eternal life within us, as "separation from" God within us, not something in the middle, like a "Heaven for all the Muslims", or for "My Family and Friends", or for "All of the Good People", or for "All of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", that is, as "we" like to think of goodness, and of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and of His Children (Ral.), and of the Fellowship of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, as some of "My Children" still mistakenly believe. Bawa. That is, with them still in their ignorance, and in their arrogance about their ignorance, "Working for wages to get into heaven", all of which in the end will only bring them "disappointment". Bawa. But instead of all this "Grayness" of "Mr. In-between", where most of "My Children" are still trying to live, in their ignorance, and in their arrogance about their ignorance, but which will never bring us true peace, the "Good News" is that God in our age has literally "Opened Himself" up to "Us" once again, by re-establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, but in His Original state, that is, when God first Created Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, that is, as the Pure Light of "Faith and Trust" in God, the Pure Light of Iman, that is, when God originally created Adam without a mother or a father, demonstrating among other things, His Sovereignty over all things, including all of His Creation, all of which has now come down to our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And in this way, this time, in our age, God has done it all again, that is, God has created Adam (peace be upon Him) again, but this time within each of us, and this time without a mother or a father, that is, this time without the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him), which was the fate of all those born in the Age of Abraham (peace be upon Him), from 4000 to 2000 years ago, and this time without the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Her), which was the fate of all those born in the Age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), from 2000 years ago, up to our age. Bawa. That is, up to our age, which is the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), where in truth "We" are again in the Original State of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, before the "Fall of Adam", that is, without the "Original Sin", but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam", so we will never be forced to fall again, that is, we will never be forced by our ignorance, and by our arrogance about out ignorance, to leave the "Presence of God" within us, and to leave "Us" Witnessing of the "Story of God" within us, and instead, establish our "own presence" on the "outside" of us, and try and tell and Witness "our story" on the "outside" of us, a "presence" and a "story" that is only leading us to an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, as everyone was previously forced to do, that is, as everyone living in the last age, in the Age of Jesus (peace be upon Him) was forced to do. Bawa. And this time with the "Eye of Wisdom" or the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (A.S.) permanently open within us, so satan can no longer approach Adam (A.S,) and "spit on" Him within us, separating Adam" within us from God within us, that is, so we will never be forced to live as "separate from" God again, that is, to leave our "Oneness with" God again, as everyone living in the Age of Abraham (A.S.) was forced to do. Bawa. And this is the true difference between "Then and Now", My dearest loving brothers and sisters of this age, which in truth are all the Children of God for our age, if we like, this is the true difference between "Then and Now, and Now and Then", this is the true difference between our age, and the two previous ages, that is, what God has done within us, not all of the "Stuff of the World" that man in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance, calls "Progress", all of which in truth is just man removing everything that God has put in place on the "outside" of us, to protect us from "us", that is, to protect us from the "Beast" that is growing within each of us, which will shortly emerge from within at least one of us, destroying the "outside" of us for all of us. Bawa. Before the "Beast" within all of us is destroy by the True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us all, for in truth "We are All One", and in truth "There is Only One", that is, by Those who have truly awaken to Their Reality within Them, which is the "Presence of God" within us, and the "Story of God" within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story, which if we like, when God has told and Completed "His Story" within us, "We will be within it", as the "Story of True Man" within the "Story of God" within us, within the "Creation of True Man" within the "Creation of God" within us, all of which is the "Hereafter" or "Next World" or akhirah within us, "Here and Now" within us, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's. So now in our age, all we have to do is Choose God over "us", that is, Choose God within us, as "One with" Us within us, over "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True" within us, all we have to do is "Step Back" on the "outside" of us, so God can "Step Forward" within us, and if we do, then God will do "Everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our lifetime Bawa. For in truth, "We" are already living in the "Presence of God" within us, if we will only start to live that way, on the "outside" of us, and in truth, "We are already "One with" God within us, if we start to live that way within us, that is, if we will only just "Let Go", with faith and trust in God within us, and in the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the "Word of God" for our age, that is, in the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age. Bawa. And in truth, for our age, this is the life and teaching of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside", is the life and teaching of His Children (Ral.), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. That is, if we will only just "Let Go", in this way, with faith and trust in God within us, and in what is "Within God" within us, which in truth is "Man's Bank" within God within us, and in what God is doing within us, with what is "Within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, that is, if we will only just "Let Go", and instead, "Let God", in this way, first on the "outside" of us, and then within us, falling back into God within us, like the rain falling back into the ocean, from which it has come, having completed its duty, its duty as rain, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, no longer existing as rain. Bawa. And this is the truth of each of us in this age, My dearest loving brothers and sisters, that is, if we like, for in our age, for now, for each one of us, the Choice is ours, not God's, and all we have to do is start to live that way, in partnership with God within us, and God will do "Everything Else", that is, first with "Us" starting to live on the "outside" of us in the "Presence of God" within us, Witnessing God within us tell and bring to Completion "His Story' within us, and then God within us will do "Everything Else" to "Make it So" within us, establishing "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Bawa. And then, with "Us" living within "True Prayer" within us, as "One with" God within us, and then God within us, will do "Everything Else" to "Make it So" within us, revealing True Man within God within us, and revealing the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, establishing akhirah within the dunya within us, establishing the hereafter, the "Next World" within this world within us, "Here and Now" within us, all of which in truth is about establishing "God's Bank" within True Man within God within akhirah within us, from "True Man's Bank" within God within the dunya within us, so God can answer His Question, asked of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, in Anathi, or in the Time of Darkness or Lack of Understanding within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God which were "Left Behind" after the last telling of "God's Story" within us, the Question, "Who am I?" Bawa. Allowing God within us, to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, but this time, by withdrawing from "God's Bank" within True Man within God within akhirah within, to answer His Question of Himself, in such a beautiful way, that in the end, that, this time, "No Child Will Be Left Behind", that is, in the end, there will be nothing still "separate from" God within us, because this time, "God Story" has become "Our Story", and God's Intention" has become "Our Intention", and in truth, "We are All One". Amen. Bawa. And God is ready to do this within each of us, if we like, that is to do "Everything Else", if we will just join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to finish what God started within us a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, that is, if we will join in partnership with God within us, before we "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do. Bawa. That is, by calling our "His Name" for our age, which for our age, is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), and now on the "outside" of us, calling out the Name of His Children (Ral.). Bawa. Doing this each day, everyday, for the rest of our life, until our last breath, or until "Only God is There". In this way, using God within us to get to God within us, instead of continuing to try and use what God has discarded, to get to God within us, which unfortunately is still the preferred way of most of My Children. Bawa. Instead of realizing that what God has discarded is everything that we are currently experiencing on the "outside" of us, including "our presence" and "our story" on the "outside" of us, all of which we have allowed to falsely define us, to falsely define us as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, rather than to correctly define us as "One with" within us. Bawa. But it is not too late to change all of this, My dearest loving brother and sisters, if you like, and that is the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, and of this "Outside Version" of "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), that is, of this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", that is, to help you learn how to "Step Back" on the "outside" of you, so God can "Step Forward" within you, as this child has learned to do, so God within us, can do "Everything Else", that is, everything else to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Ok. Amen. Bawa. And to do this, you must learn how to do this, as this child has learned how to do this, over the last 30 years, living at the feet of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyadeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, living at the feet of His Children (Ral.), which in truth is each of you, if you like. Bawa. And this is the purpose of "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", on the "outside" of us, which is truly the "Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.) within each of us, which has grown within each of us, and has now come to maturity within each of us, a prayer that will allow each of us to fall back into the ocean of grace from which we have all come, which is the "Presence of God" within us, having completed our duty as "our presence" on the "outside" of us, again becoming the ocean of grace, no longer existing as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, flowing as the grace of God back into God, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to end up within us, either as "One with" or as "separate from" God within us, for eternity. 4.

For the Choice is yours, not God's. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of "Page 1 of 1" of - Spiritual Letter 89 - E-mail Version ------------------------ |

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Bawa. Here is the E-mail Version of a beautiful Spiritual Letter, "Spiritual Letter 89", which "We" have called, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin, To Be Recited Alone Each Day" Bawa. A beautiful prayer which our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to teach to each of My dearest loving brothers and sisters, if they like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this prayer, and this child, as something valuable to you, or not. Bawa. A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie. Bawa. And in this way, a prayer which has been growing within each of us, over the last 30 years, if we like, a prayer which Bawa within us, and God within Him, have called within us, "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), and now which They have called on the "outside" of us for this age, for the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin". Bawa. In addition, we have provided an "Outline & Summary Version" of Spiritual Letter 89 which includes two levels of Outline, a "Brief Outline" as well as a "Longer Outline", and Expanded Summaries of some Outline Topics. To access the "Outline & Summary Version" of Spiritual Letter 89 please click above or HERE. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. The True Significance of "Us" And "Our Age" - In truth, the Only Question left for our age, is "Do We Want God", that is, do we want an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, because in truth God has already given us both, and now in our age, in truth, "There is no other Choice", that is, there is no other Choice that we can now make, and still become truly successful in our lifetime. For example, like a Choice that allows us to go to some area of "Grayness" as "Mr-Inbetween", after we die to the flesh, that allows us to have a little bit of both for eternity within us, as some of My Children still mistakenly believe, but which is "Just Not True". Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, which in truth is all of us living in this age, we must begin to realize, understand, accept, and join with the "True Significance of "Us" and "Our Age", before it is too late to do so, that is, before it is too late to take advantage of either, that is, of the reality of "Us" and the reality of "Our age". Bawa. That in truth, in our age, "Oneness with" God within us is now our true destiny, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, because God within us has Chosen to "Make it So" within each of us for our age, no matter what, no matter what "we" have done, or failed to do, in our age, and no matter what God may have done in all of the Previous ages, and no matter what all of the people did in the Previous ages. Now, none of this matters. Bawa. Now, none of "The Stuff" of "us", or "The Stuff" of Previous ages matters any more, for God has wiped the slate clean, and started anew, within each of us, returning Adam (peace be upon Him) within each of us to "His Original State" within us, before the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) within us, but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam" (peace be upon Him) so, if we like, Adam (peace be upon Him) will never fall again, and can therefore, become what God Created Him to be within us, which is the "Palace of the 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. Amen. Bawa. In this way, we must begin to realize, understand, and accept that each of us are now in a "New Game", and now this is the "Only Game in Town". For all "Other Games", all Previous Games, that we may have liked Playing, like "us" being "Righteous or Good", on the "outside" of us, have been closed down, permanently. Bawa. And in this way, now for "Us" and for "Our Age", for each of us living in this age, there is only One Question left, that we have to Answer, and that is, do we want it, that is, do we want what God is now ready to unconditionally give to each of us, that is, "No Matter What", no matter what we may have done with our life, up to this moment, that is, to give us Himself. Bawa. That is, "Do We Want God", realizing before we answer this question, that the true nature of God within us is "Oneness" within us, not the "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of us, that many of us, if not most of us, currently enjoy. And that is the true downside of this "New Game" in town, at least from a "selfish perspective", that is, "Only One Can Play" it, not two. Ok? Bawa. And that's its, that is, do we want an eternal life within us as "One with" God within us, or do we want an eternal life within us as "separate from" God within us, because in truth God has already given us both, and in truth, now in our age, "There is no other Choice", that is, there is no other Choice that we can make, and still become truly successful in our lifetime. For example, like a Choice that allows us to go to some area of "Grayness" as "Mr-Inbetween", after we die to the flesh, that allows us to have a little bit of both for eternity within us, as some of My Children still mistakenly believe, but which is "Just Not True". Bawa. So the only question left, for any of us, is which will we Choose for eternity within us, God or "us", that is, God as "One with" within us, or "us" as "separation from" on the "outside" of us, and a "No Choice" is a Choice, for when we die to the flesh, and we haven't explicitly made a Choice, then the "Justice of God" within us will Choose for us, determining our eternal reward by the way that "we" have lived our life on the "outside" of us, that is, by our actions, not so much by our words, and in this way, giving us either God or hell within us, that is, giving us either "Oneness with" or "separation from" within us, and in this way, the Choice is ours, not God's. May we all Choose wisely. Amen. Bawa. For according to the "Justice of God" that God has patiently and every so lovingly placed within each of us, "Whatever we intend is what we will receive." Bawa. So this Spiritual Letter is to each of "Us", who in truth are collectively the Children of God for our age, but who in truth, is the "One True Child" of God for our age, for as "God is One", in truth "So are We", if we like. Bawa.

My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 1. "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" - A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie Bawa. Here is a beautiful prayer which our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, have instructed this child to teach to each of My dearest loving brothers and sisters, if they like, for the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this prayer, and this child, as something valuable to you, or not. Bawa. A prayer which has grown within the heart of this child, which in truth is within all of us living in this age, if we like, for in truth "We are All One", and if it has grown within "One of Us", in truth it has grown within "All of Us", if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to accept this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as coming from God within us all, to the Children of God for our age, or not, that is, as not just the ramblings of your dearest loving brother Louie. Bawa. And in this way, a prayer which has been growing within each of us, over the last 30 years, a prayer which Bawa within us, and God within Him, that is, within each of us, if we like, have called within us, "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased within Us), and now which They have called on the "outside" of us for this age, "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin". 2 About "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" - on the "outside" of us, which in truth within us, is the "Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him) within us, which is how the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul, joined as "One with" our liberated soul, finds and becomes "One with" the Light of our wisdom, with the Nur Muhammad within us, which God originally placed on the Forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us. And which God has again, in His Infinite Mercy and Compassion, and at the Request of our Shaikh, of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of God within Him, has again placed on "Our Forehead", establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) again within us, in His Original Condition, that is, before the "Fall of Adam)", but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam", so Adam (peace be upon Him) will never Fall Again, if we like, will never have his "own presence" and his "own story" on the illusory "outside" of us, if we like, and this time with this Eye of Wisdom permanently opened within "Our Forehead", so satan can never "Spit on Adam" within us again, separating "Us" from the "Oneness of God" within us, if we like, for now in our age, "God Has Done It All For Us", if we like, and all we have to do, is "truly accept it", in partnership with God within us, that is, "To Truly Accept What God Has Done" within us, as what we "Truly Are" for eternity within us, which is "Oneness with" God within us, and not what we "Think we want" for eternity, which is what we currently are experiencing on the "outside" of us, which is "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". So truly, now in our age, the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we will spend eternity within us, either as "One with", or as "separate from" God within us, which in truth is "separate from" Us within us, from "Our Oneness" within us, that is, from the "Truth of Us", and from the "Truth of God" within us. May we all reflect on this, in partnership with God within us, and in this way, Choose wisely. Amen. Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, the Prayer of the "Eligible Virgin", in truth is each one of us living in the world today, if we like, that is, if the True Intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell within us, of "separation from" God within us, that is, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Ok? Bawa. The "Eligible Virgin" within us, who in truth is the 2nd level of Spiritual Development within each of us, know as Thareekat in the Islamic tradition (this is how it is spelled in Chapter 14, in the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom"), and Kiriyai in the Hindi tradition, that is, that naturally opens within us when we truly reach Spiritual Puberty within us, that is, when our awakened wisdom joins as "One with" our liberated soul to go in search of the Light of our wisdom, and "We" leave all of our Spiritual Kindergarten lessons behind, now becoming the true "Wife to Be" of God within us. Bawa. In this way, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, with "Us" becoming the "True Wife of God" within us, which are the 99 Wilayats or Powers of God within us, that is, as One who has awakened to the "Truth of Oneself" and to the "Truth of God" within us, striving in all things to again become "One with" God within us, from which "We" have all come. Bawa. With the "Eligible Virgin" preparing herself in this way, in all aspects of her life, and keeping herself ready to meet her True Husband, which is God within us, within True Prayer within us, and bear Him a True Son, which is True Man within God within us, which naturally emerges out of "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, if we like. Amen. Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (Ral.), are teaching the following to us right now, in this Spiritual Letter. Beginning of Quotation From: "The Kalimah Song" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) "Only God may Prayer to God, no one else can do this". "We cannot worship with the body, It is the life and wisdom united with each other In a state of propriety mingled with the Nur, And in the Concentration of that Light, That One must worship. "The One has to pray to the One who Is". That state of worship will become Him, And that will be understood as that. It is this state that is deathless, for which there is no re-birth". "In that state the word and the worship will become Him, And the Continuous Light and the wisdom and the Nur will become Him, That will become the Resplendent Rahman in this world and the next. Other than this, there is no other way to be the Ruler over here and there." End of Quotation From: "The Kalimah Song" By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) [Note: To read an on-line copy of the rest of this Quotation, which is from the "Kalimah Song", which His Holiness sang to us, along with two discourses, "How To Merge With The Guru", and "How To Reach and Merge With God", all of which was given to us on April 26, 1972, by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), please click above or on the following, (www.SpiritualSong001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse001.homestead.com) (www.SpiritualDiscourse002.homestead.com) All of which has been given to us in our age, by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like. For the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how we use our life up, that is, either in "our name", or in "God's Name", either in "our presence" on the "outside" of us, or in "God's Presence" within us, and either as "our story" on the "outside" of us, or as "God's Story" within us, that is, before the "outside" of us is over. Something to think about, at least. Yes?. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Bawa. And in this way, with "Us" coming together daily, with our dearest loving brothers and sisters, if we like, to recite this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", to "Recite It Alone Each Day", that is, to Recite it in a way where in truth "Only God is There", which is the true meaning of "Being Alone", if we like, in the "Name of God" for our age, if we like, in order to learn how to establish the "Presence of God" within us, as this child has learned to do, that is, by reciting it by "Not Reciting It", by joining in partnership with God within us, to "Let It Be Recited" within us, by God within us, if we like, and in this way, and only in this way, with "Us" gradually learning how to shift the focus of our life from "our presence" and "our story" on the "outside" of us, back to "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, but this time with and understanding of "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, so They will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. That is, to gradually learn how to shift our focus from the drama of our life, the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", on the "outside" of us, to again living in the "Presence of God" within us, as God again tells and brings to Completion "His Story" within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, and "We" again start to Witness His doing this within us, but this time with an understanding of "our Oneness" and of "our separation", embracing one, and rejecting the other, until "Only God is There" within us. Amen. Bawa. Realizing that if we "Daily" come together in this way, that is, in the "Name of God" for our age, so God can "Be There" again within us, so in truth "We" can truly be "Alone" again within us, in the state of "True Prayer" within us, then "So will God" within us, that is, if we can "Daily" correctly join together on the "outside" of us, to do this "Heart's Work" within us, that is, "Daily" join with the Truly Awakened Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) within us, which are Those who truly know that "They can Fly" within us, and "Do What They Have Learned To Do", in partnership with God within us, then "So will God" within us, or at least to truly start to do this, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so God within us can then do "Everything Else" to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. Amen. Bawa. That is, then "God will Complete It" within us, that is, God will "Make it So" within us, and in the end, when God has Completed telling and bringing to Completion "His Story" within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, then "We will be within it", as True Man within God within akhirah within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within the dunya within us, and in this way, the Hereafter, the "Next World", or akhirah, will be "Here and Now" within us. Amen. Bawa. For example, our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within us, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, how to recognize the difference between the 2nd Stage of Spiritual Development know as the "Eligible Virgin" or Thareekat, and the 1st Stage of Spiritual Development know as the "Kindergarten Lessons" or Shariat, a stage that many of My Children have become literally "Stuck in", or have ignored all together, although "We" told them to do it, but "We" also told them not to "Stay there", not to stay in "Kindergarten", but rather to learn to join with "Us" within them, to "Empty the Cup" within them, so God can "Fill it Again", and "Fill it Again", until "Only God is there". Ok? Bawa. In this way, all of My Children should read and reflect on the following, and get the rest of My Children to do like wise, and then do so, do so again, and again, and again, until you truly make the transition, from "kindergarten to Eligible Virgin", until you do truly become the "Eligible Virgin" searching for a "Good Husband". Beginning of Quotation From: Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development" In the book: "The Pearl of Wisdom", By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) "Learning lessons, learning them correctly, and accepting the correct version, is the path that is called the Shariat (the First or Initial stage of spiritual development). "Shariat is the equivalent of the lessons in the kindergarten. (And) you must be subtlely informed that these stages indicates scenes that illustrate the world's maya, the illusory appearances of pleasure." "This (Shariat) is the first grade. Before a child attains (Spiritual) puberty, she goes about freely everywhere. She visits the homes of her friends, relatives, and others and talks without reserve. This is similar to the period I spoke of as the kindergarten lesson. The inner meaning of this stage is what is referred to as Shariat." "The next stage (of Thareekat or the Eligible Virgin) is when the child avoids the aforesaid actions, discards the games played here and there, controls her smiles, protects her chastity (self-respect), and becomes an adolescent virgin with the physical characteristics of a grown-up. She stays at home. She know the difference between father and mother, and involves herself with their problems. She enjoys herself in the home. This is the stage comparable to Kiriyai (in the Hindi tradition, or Thareekat in the Islamic tradition)." "In an attempt to seek an ideal groom for the girl, a husband with a good character, good conduct, good wisdom, good intellect and ability, should be searched for, day and night. This is the mark of a "Good Virgin". "Running here and there, seeing several people, speaking about marriage with any person one comes across will be like the initial stage of (Spiritual Development), of Shariat (of Kindergarten Lessons, but is not appropriate for this second stage of Spiritual Development, of Thareekat, of the "Eligible Virgin" seeking the Good Husband)". "(When one enters this second stage of Spiritual Develop, of Thareekat, of the Eligible Virgin seeing the Good Husband), one must forget this (initial) stage (of Shariat) and conduct oneself like the Kiriyai (or Thareekat) girl, that is, as One who trust only One Person, and admits Only Him, to The House (of her heart). This is the Proud Behavior of the Kiriyai (or Thareekat girl), of the Eligible Virgin". "Kiriyai (or Thareekat) is comparable to a state of virginity - not look at anyone else, not speaking with others, not smiling with others, and receiving (Only) the One who has come with Certitude (in God)." "(In this way) She accepts that the One who has come as the "Lamp of Chastity", will pour oil into her Virgin Lamp. Worshipping God, and keeping (Only) Him in her heart, is the "Oiled Lamp" of Kiriyai (or Thareekat)." "This My Son, is the state of Kiriyai (or Thareekat, of the Eligible Virgin). Amen." End of Quotation From: Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development" In the book: "The Pearl of Wisdom", By: His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) [Note: To read an on-line copy of the rest of this Quotation, and more about the 4 stages of spiritual development, which in the Islam tradition are referred to as "Shariat, Tareekat, Haqeekat, and Marharifat", and in the Hindi tradition are referred to as "Sariyai, Kiriyai, Yogam, and Gnanam", please click on the following, Chapter 14, "The Four Stages of Spiritual Development", in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom", by our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] 3. More About "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" - on the "outside" of us, which in truth, is "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, within each of us, if we like, for in truth, for this age, this is now our true heritage, our true birthright, the true destiny of our soul, because for our age, God has "Made it So" within us, within each and every one of us, whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not. So "Get with the Program", that is, with "God's Program" within us, which is to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God within us to tell and bring to Completion the "Story of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, so in the end, "No Child Is Still Separate From" God within us, that is, in the end, there will be nothing Still "separate from" God within us, for Everything within us will have fallen back into God within us, from which we have all come, like the rain falling back into the ocean having completed its duty as rain, again becoming "One with" the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, no longer existing as rain. Amen Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, "We" will start E-mailing you a copy of this beautiful "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin" as it becomes available. Bawa. So far we have completed the first prayer in this "Prayer", which is to ask for forgiveness from God within us, with an understanding of what we truly need forgiveness for, which is for having "Forgotten God" within us, that is, to have turned away from "God's Presence" and "God's Story" within us, by establishing "our own presence" and "our own story" on the "outside" of us, that is, to have turned away from the "Gift of God" within us, the "Word of God" within, the "Life and Teaching of God" within us, for the Children of God within us, by establishing "our own gift", and "our own word", and "our own life and teaching", on the "outside" of us, that is, by turning way from what was leading us back to "Oneness with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it would never leave us again, by establishing what is now only leading us to an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, if we die in our current state, that is, if we don't become wise, before we die to the flesh. Bawa. In this way, "May We All Wise Up" before it is too late to do this "Heart's Work" within us, in partnership with God within us, and encourage our dearest loving brothers and sisters, to do the same, not so much by our words, but by "God's Words" flowing from within us, to the Children of God for our age, and by our example, as this child has learned to do. Amen.. Bawa. Also "We" will be putting an on-line copy of "This Prayer", as well as an explanation of it, in the On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (www.Bawa.homestead. com), which this child has been developing, at the feet of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, over the last 10 years. Bawa. The URL or Web Address for the Home Page of this on-line copy of "This Prayer", and an explanation of it, that is, for "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", or "The Eligible Virgin Prayer" is (www.EligibleVirginPrayer.homestead.com). Bawa. So please check in every now and then and see how "We are doing", that is, how this "Labor of Love" is going if you like, for in truth it is "All About Us", for in truth "We are All One", whether we know it or not, and even whether we like or want it or not, since for our age, this is now our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, because in truth, God has "Made it So" within us for our age. Bawa. That is, for this age which in truth is "Now Qiyamah" (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), that is, Qiyamah but now on the "outside" of us, Qiyamah on the "outside" of us, so if we like, we will never have to face it within us, we will not have to face Qiyamah in our current state, after we die to the flesh, that is, in our current state of living as "one with" everything that "God has discarded" from within Himself, in partnership with God within Himself, in order to become God within us, as now "We" must do the same within us, if we like, in partnership with God within us. For the Choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His Choice, and He Chose God within Him, and because God within us, and now , if we like, "So Can We". And this is how God and our life really works. Ok? Bawa. For as our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us for our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) are teaching us right now, in this Spiritual Letter, "At the end of time, which is now, God will send One who will explain again everything that had been explained before, by the 124,000 Heavenly Beings, Prophets, and Lights of God, coming into the world over, and over again, to all people, to all races, for the last 200 million years, that is, since Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) came into this earth world or dunya, but this time, with no veils." "And everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left, is "Do We Want It", that is, do we want an eternal life as "One with" God within us, or not, or do we want an eternal life as "separate from" God within us, because in truth "There is no other Choice." Bawa. And in this way, My dearest loving brothers and sisters, in truth, "There is no other Choice", that is, with us in the end, at the end of the "outside" of us, getting as our eternal reward, either an eternal life within us as "Oneness with" God within us, or an eternal life within us, as "separation from" God within us, not something in the middle, like a "Heaven for all the Muslims", or for "My Family and Friends", or for "All of the Good People", or for "All of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", that is, as "we" like to think of goodness, and of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and of His Children (Ral.), and of the Fellowship of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, as some of "My Children" still mistakenly believe. Bawa. That is, with them still in their ignorance, and in their arrogance about their ignorance, "Working for wages to get into heaven", all of which in the end will only bring them "disappointment". Bawa. But instead of all this "Grayness" of "Mr. In-between", where most of "My Children" are still trying to live, in their ignorance, and in their arrogance about their ignorance, but which will never bring us true peace, the "Good News" is that God in our age has literally "Opened Himself" up to "Us" once again, by re-establishing Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, but in His Original state, that is, when God first Created Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, that is, as the Pure Light of "Faith and Trust" in God, the Pure Light of Iman, that is, when God originally created Adam without a mother or a father, demonstrating among other things, His Sovereignty over all things, including all of His Creation, all of which has now come down to our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from God within us, as if we are "separate from" each other, and as if we are "separate from" the Creation of God within us, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And in this way, this time, in our age, God has done it all again, that is, God has created Adam (peace be upon Him) again, but this time within each of us, and this time without a mother or a father, that is, this time without the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him), which was the fate of all those born in the Age of Abraham (peace be upon Him), from 4000 to 2000 years ago, and this time without the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Her), which was the fate of all those born in the Age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), from 2000 years ago, up to our age. Bawa. That is, up to our age, which is the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), where in truth "We" are again in the Original State of Adam (peace be upon Him) within us, before the "Fall of Adam", that is, without the "Original Sin", but this time with an understanding of the "Fall of Adam", so we will never be forced to fall again, that is, we will never be forced by our ignorance, and by our arrogance about out ignorance, to leave the "Presence of God" within us, and to leave "Us" Witnessing of the "Story of God" within us, and instead, establish our "own presence" on the "outside" of us, and try and tell and Witness "our story" on the "outside" of us, a "presence" and a "story" that is only leading us to an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, as everyone was previously forced to do, that is, as everyone living in the last age, in the Age of Jesus (peace be upon Him) was forced to do. Bawa. And this time with the "Eye of Wisdom" or the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (A.S.) permanently open within us, so satan can no longer approach Adam (A.S,) and "spit on" Him within us, separating Adam" within us from God within us, that is, so we will never be forced to live as "separate from" God again, that is, to leave our "Oneness with" God again, as everyone living in the Age of Abraham (A.S.) was forced to do. Bawa. And this is the true difference between "Then and Now", My dearest loving brothers and sisters of this age, which in truth are all the Children of God for our age, if we like, this is the true difference between "Then and Now, and Now and Then", this is the true difference between our age, and the two previous ages, that is, what God has done within us, not all of the "Stuff of the World" that man in his ignorance, and in his arrogance about his ignorance, calls "Progress", all of which in truth is just man removing everything that God has put in place on the "outside" of us, to protect us from "us", that is, to protect us from the "Beast" that is growing within each of us, which will shortly emerge from within at least one of us, destroying the "outside" of us for all of us. Bawa. Before the "Beast" within all of us is destroy by the True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us all, for in truth "We are All One", and in truth "There is Only One", that is, by Those who have truly awaken to Their Reality within Them, which is the "Presence of God" within us, and the "Story of God" within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, a Story, which if we like, when God has told and Completed "His Story" within us, "We will be within it", as the "Story of True Man" within the "Story of God" within us, within the "Creation of True Man" within the "Creation of God" within us, all of which is the "Hereafter" or "Next World" or akhirah within us, "Here and Now" within us, if we like. Bawa. For the Choice is ours, not God's. So now in our age, all we have to do is Choose God over "us", that is, Choose God within us, as "One with" Us within us, over "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is "Just Not True" within us, all we have to do is "Step Back" on the "outside" of us, so God can "Step Forward" within us, and if we do, then God will do "Everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our lifetime Bawa. For in truth, "We" are already living in the "Presence of God" within us, if we will only start to live that way, on the "outside" of us, and in truth, "We are already "One with" God within us, if we start to live that way within us, that is, if we will only just "Let Go", with faith and trust in God within us, and in the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the "Word of God" for our age, that is, in the "Life and Teaching of God" for our age, for the Children of God for our age. Bawa. And in truth, for our age, this is the life and teaching of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside", is the life and teaching of His Children (Ral.), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell within us of "separation from" God within us, that is, to again become "One with" God within us, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen. Bawa. That is, if we will only just "Let Go", in this way, with faith and trust in God within us, and in what is "Within God" within us, which in truth is "Man's Bank" within God within us, and in what God is doing within us, with what is "Within God" within us, which is revealing God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, that is, if we will only just "Let Go", and instead, "Let God", in this way, first on the "outside" of us, and then within us, falling back into God within us, like the rain falling back into the ocean, from which it has come, having completed its duty, its duty as rain, again becoming the ocean, no longer existing as "separate from" the ocean, no longer existing as rain. Bawa. And this is the truth of each of us in this age, My dearest loving brothers and sisters, that is, if we like, for in our age, for now, for each one of us, the Choice is ours, not God's, and all we have to do is start to live that way, in partnership with God within us, and God will do "Everything Else", that is, first with "Us" starting to live on the "outside" of us in the "Presence of God" within us, Witnessing God within us tell and bring to Completion "His Story' within us, and then God within us will do "Everything Else" to "Make it So" within us, establishing "True Prayer" within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us. Bawa. And then, with "Us" living within "True Prayer" within us, as "One with" God within us, and then God within us, will do "Everything Else" to "Make it So" within us, revealing True Man within God within us, and revealing the Creation of True Man within the Creation of God within us, and in this way, establishing akhirah within the dunya within us, establishing the hereafter, the "Next World" within this world within us, "Here and Now" within us, all of which in truth is about establishing "God's Bank" within True Man within God within akhirah within us, from "True Man's Bank" within God within the dunya within us, so God can answer His Question, asked of God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, in Anathi, or in the Time of Darkness or Lack of Understanding within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God which were "Left Behind" after the last telling of "God's Story" within us, the Question, "Who am I?" Bawa. Allowing God within us, to tell and bring to Completion "His Story" within us, but this time, by withdrawing from "God's Bank" within True Man within God within akhirah within, to answer His Question of Himself, in such a beautiful way, that in the end, that, this time, "No Child Will Be Left Behind", that is, in the end, there will be nothing still "separate from" God within us, because this time, "God Story" has become "Our Story", and God's Intention" has become "Our Intention", and in truth, "We are All One". Amen. Bawa. And God is ready to do this within each of us, if we like, that is to do "Everything Else", if we will just join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to finish what God started within us a very, very long time ago, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, that is, if we will join in partnership with God within us, before we "Say or Do or Write" anything on the "outside" of us, as this child has learned to do. Bawa. That is, by calling our "His Name" for our age, which for our age, is "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), and now on the "outside" of us, calling out the Name of His Children (Ral.). Bawa. Doing this each day, everyday, for the rest of our life, until our last breath, or until "Only God is There". In this way, using God within us to get to God within us, instead of continuing to try and use what God has discarded, to get to God within us, which unfortunately is still the preferred way of most of My Children. Bawa. Instead of realizing that what God has discarded is everything that we are currently experiencing on the "outside" of us, including "our presence" and "our story" on the "outside" of us, all of which we have allowed to falsely define us, to falsely define us as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, rather than to correctly define us as "One with" within us. Bawa. But it is not too late to change all of this, My dearest loving brother and sisters, if you like, and that is the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, and of this "Outside Version" of "The Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.), that is, of this "Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", that is, to help you learn how to "Step Back" on the "outside" of you, so God can "Step Forward" within you, as this child has learned to do, so God within us, can do "Everything Else", that is, everything else to make our life truly successful in our lifetime. For this is "God's Promise" for our age. This is "God's Guarantee" for our age. Ok. Amen. Bawa. And to do this, you must learn how to do this, as this child has learned how to do this, over the last 30 years, living at the feet of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyadeen (Ral.) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, living at the feet of His Children (Ral.), which in truth is each of you, if you like. Bawa. And this is the purpose of "The Prayer of the Eligible Virgin", on the "outside" of us, which is truly the "Tariqat Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen" (Ral.) within each of us, which has grown within each of us, and has now come to maturity within each of us, a prayer that will allow each of us to fall back into the ocean of grace from which we have all come, which is the "Presence of God" within us, having completed our duty as "our presence" on the "outside" of us, again becoming the ocean of grace, no longer existing as "separate from" on the "outside" of us, and in this way, flowing as the grace of God back into God, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, if we like, for the Choice is ours, not God's, that is, the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, that is, to end up within us, either as "One with" or as "separate from" God within us, for eternity. 4. Closing Comments And Love - My love you (anbu), My dearest loving GrandChildren, Sons and Daughters, and Brothers and Sisters, of our dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, of \His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us). Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. 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 us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa. Please give my love and salams to all of your family and friends. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in our prayers. Bawa. And please join with Bawa within us, and with God within Him, to share this sharing with them, that is, to truly make yourself available to Them within you, to do this "Heart's Work" within you, as this child has learned to do, for only then, will God believe that you truly want "Him" as "One with" you within you, and you as "One with" Him within you, for eternity, and not some eternal hell within you, of your own making, of "separation from" Him within you. For the Choice is yours, not God's. Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of "Page 1 of 1" of - Spiritual Letter 89 - E-mail Version ------------------------ |
