Bawa. So First My Dearest Loving Children, Lets Review 

Knowing "Your Current Presence".

Bawa. As Explained In "God-Talking Comment 08", In Truth For You, And In Truth For All of My Children, Without Exception, “Your Self/Body/Presence” Is Not As You Now “See It”, Or As You Now “Believer In It”, Or As You Now “Understand It”, Or As You Now “Experience It”, Or As You Now “Pray To It”, Or As You Now “Do Duty & Service To It”, Or As You Now Expect To “Have It” Both In “This World” And in “Your Next World”, And Now Most Importantly, As You Now Expect To “Have It” In “Your Grave”, That Is, As “One With” It, if you like, and that is for sure. 

Bawa. For In Truth “Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence” Is “An Elemental 
Power”, That Is, 

Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence” Is
An Elemental Power

That Dawns

In “The Place
Where There Is 
An “I”,

That Is,

Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence” Is
An Elemental Power

That Dawns

Within “Your Impure Heart/Mind
When You “Have NOT Truly Learned

How NOT To Be There”,
As “Separate From” God Within You,

So 
God Can Be There
As “One With” You Within Him,

if you like,
and that is for sure. 

Bawa. That Is, Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence” Is “An Elemental 
Power”, As Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Teaches Us, And Now As Our Dearest Loving Son, And Your Dearest Loving Brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), In Whom “We Are Well Pleased”, Is Teaching Us 
Again, As “Follows”, if you like, and that is for sure. Amen.

Bawa. For ExampleAs Bawa Teaches Us In The Following “Short Excerpt” And In The Following “Full Text” of “Chapter 02”, Called “The Wondrous 
City”, In “The Beautiful Book of “Wisdom”, Called A Mystical Journey”,

“The Beginning”
of 
The Full Text
of “Chapter 02”,
Called “The Wondrous City”,
From The Book,
A Mystical Journey”,
(Also See “A Partial On-line Version”),
By His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim - 
In “The Name of God”, 
The Most Merciful, 
The Most Compassionate.

His Holiness Teaches Us:

My loving children, my brothers and sisters, my sons and daughters. In the ninth test we learned about the animal within man, and the nature of the creations. Now it is time to talk about death. 

I give you my love, my children. Come along with me to an amazing city which is at the base of the same mountain where earlier we watched the animals grazing. The mountain is more than forty miles high, but the city is no bigger than an atom. 

What an exquisite city it is! Come and look around. There are so many wonders to be seen here. Look at all the tempting varieties of fruits growing in the orchards. Many people come here in search of these fruits, and then they discover this marvelous city and choose to stay here and build their homes. 

Over the years, so many have come here, and yet the city appears to be deserted. Most of the houses are slowly deteriorating and the rest are completely in ruins. When the people first arrive here, they marvel at the wondrous city, and the abundance of trees, fruits, gold and gems. But soon they become trapped. 

They lock themselves in their houses and peer out anxiously, too frightened to venture forth and enjoy the wonders. They live a life of constant fear in this tiny city at the bottom of the rocky mountain. 

Look over there, my children. Do you see that man and his family peering out of the window? Come, let's knock on their door and ask them what terrible secret paralyzes this city. 

Oh, look how they pull their heads in and hide when they see us. They must be terribly afraid of something, for their door is bolted tight and they refuse to open it. Wait here, my children, while I try to find out what's going on. 

-------

"Sir! I want to ask you a question. Don't be afraid. You don't have to open the door. You could just call out a quick answer to me."

"No, go away! Run as fast as you can! Its dangerous here!" 

"Your voice is trembling. Why are you so frightened? What are you hiding from?" 

"We can't tell you now. Run for your lives! It'll be here any minute." 

"What will be here? Please, tell me." 

"Don't you realize your lives are in danger? Why did you come here? Were you lured by the wonders of this beautiful city? You must have heard about the delicious fruits and the mountains of gold and gems." 

"We too wanted these things and came here searching for them, but we didn't know about the horrible demon that terrorizes the city. And now this big house that we built has become a prison for us. We never know when the demon will strike, so we lock ourselves inside and live in constant fear!" 

"What sort of demon is this?" 

"When it first appears it looks small, but then it grows bigger and bigger and bigger, until it becomes as huge as the city. It demolishes the houses, gobbles up the people, drinks their blood and spits out their skin and bones!" 

"When the demon roars, its dreadful sound shakes the whole mountain! As soon as we hear that noise, we run and hide in our houses. If anyone dares to venture out, the demon immediately grabs him and sucks the strength out of his body. It sucks out his very life!" 

"So many people have been destroyed in this way. Some attempt to escape, but you can be sure that everyone who comes here eventually gets caught by that huge beast." 

"You say this demon comes as a small thing and then grows bigger? At what time of the day does it usually come?" 

"There is no set time. We live in constant terror, for it can come at any moment. 

“We never know when it is safe to go out, and the dilemma of this place is that we can't even enjoy the fruits and treasures we came here for." 

"But that demon is not our only problem. There is also another sound that sometimes comes down from the top of the mountain and frightens us. In many different voices and melodies it calls out our names. 

'Son of so-and-so, your time is up! The food and water that has been allotted for you has reached its limit. Now come to me.'" 

"The moment anyone hears that sound, he goes crazy. No matter how many people are with him, there's no holding him back. Shrieking and howling, he tears himself loose and rushes wildly toward the mountain like a crazy man, and it is impossible to catch him." 

"Once he climbs that mountain, we never see him again. He never returns. This happens every time that call comes down from the mountain." 

"Sir, do the think the demon might come soon?" 

"Maybe. It can appear in an instant." 

"Then may we come inside your house for a while?" 

"No, no! I dare not open the door. Run for your lives! Escape while you can!" 

"Please just let us come in long enough to see the demon." 

"No! Go away! Please, go away!" 

-------

My children, were you listening? This city is the world. Whatever the mind needs or desires can be found here. Everything is here - gold, gems, fruits, houses, property - everything. But this demonic beast will eventually destroy it all. 

My children, do you know what this demon is? It is the satanic qualities and the evil desires and cravings that grow in people's hearts. It is the egoism of the I and the separatism of I and you. 

It is arrogance, karma, illusion, and the qualities of the three sons of illusion, the sexual energies know as tarahan, singhan, and suran. It is lust, anger, miserliness, greed, fanaticism, envy, theft, murder, intoxicants, and falsehood. 

This terrible demon is all these things. It contains all the qualities of satan that people develop within the huge jungles of their hearts. Deceit, treachery, and the desire for land, sensual pleasure (woman), and gold, can all be found in these jungles. 

The poisonous qualities of spiders, scorpions, and snakes; the inherited qualities of lions, tigers, donkeys, monkeys, cows, and goats; the fecal arrogance of the elephant; even ghosts, jinns, fairies, devils, and the demons inherent in the five elements - all these dwell in the jungles of people's hearts. 

The qualities of all the forms in the world rolled up together form this huge demonic beast, which is ready at every second to jump out. 

At first it appears to be only a tiny thing, no bigger than an atom, but it grows and grows, until it reaches a monstrous size, and then it attacks and destroys the city of the heart. 

Because the people who live here have accumulated and nourished the qualities of this beast, destruction has befallen the entire city. 

My children, Allah created Adam (A.S.) as a perfect pure form, as a true human being, an insan. But because satan was envious of Adam (A.S.), he spat on him, and the place where that drop of spit fell became man's navel. 

It was only a tiny drop of spit, but that one drop was full of envy, pride, arrogance, and jealousy. As those qualities grew bigger and bigger, they developed into a demonic beast, which to this day emerges from within man, destroying him second by second. 

When all the satanic qualities man has nurtured erupt from within him, and he becomes this beast, then his original form, that beautiful secret of God, is destroyed.

His good qualities, and the goodness that comes from those qualities are ruined. His very life is destroyed. 

My children, everything can be found in the world: Allah's benevolent grace, His precious Rahmat, and all the wealth from the world of souls, this world, and the hereafter. But man does not understand the value of these treasures. 

Forgetting that he will die one day, he continues to nurture the evil qualities which destroy him. 

It is important for man to remember and understand that both good and evil, khair and sharr, exist here, and they are within Allah's trust, His tawakkul. 

The goodness is the taste of Allah; it is His wealth and He is responsible for it, it cannot be destroyed. The evil is the taste of hell, it is the creation, the world, and Allah has discarded it. 

My precious children, every person in this city must drive the wicked animal qualities out of the house of his own heart. Every person must clear his heart and make it resonate with La ilaha ill-Allahu: There is nothing other than You, O God, only You are Allah. 

When the resonance of the One of praise resplends within each man's heart, then this city will be filled with God's benevolent grace. 

The man who can fill his heart in that way will no longer need to be afraid, because the evil animals will not come near him when they hear the resonance of "Allahu Akbar! 

God is Great!" If they do approach, they will be burned by that benevolent grace and run away. 

Then, for him, this world will be changed into the hereafter, and the hereafter will be changed into this world. His heart will become Allah's heart of benevolent grace, and His house will be the light-filled house of Allah's boundless grace, the 'arshul-mu'min, the throne of the true believer. 

My children, now that we have come here, let us look at the grace and the wealth that Allah has put here for you. He has placed beautiful flowers and tasty fruits in this world and given you the complete wealth of the three worlds. 

He has placed wisdom, good qualities and the divine knowledge of 'ilm upon His throne within paradise. 

To a wise person, to a true human being, an insan, both this world and the hereafter will have the same taste. The same undiminishing wealth. 

Pluck these tasty fruits, my children. This is not satan's portion, this share is for you. 

It is God's grace for you. To you who have God's grace, this world is full of grace, and there is no animosity here for you. This is the place where you learn how to dispel the animals within you. 

Now come with me and eat these fruits. How do they taste? Aren't they delicious? Did you notice how many different tastes are within each fruit? 

There is the taste of absolute faith, certitude, and determination, the taste of iman. And here is the taste of Allah's love, the taste of praising Him, and the taste of the divine knowledge ('ilm) that has faith in Him. 

Here is the good taste of Allah, that comes from His good qualities - the taste of mercy and compassion, of Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. 

My children, if you do not have that taste within you, and if you do not have the taste of iman, and of the Kalimah, then for you these fruits will only have the taste of hell. 

Those who come to this city of the world as true human beings, as insan, will search for Allah's good taste. They will eat these fruits and know the taste of Allah's qualities, the taste of His heaven. The demonic beast will not harm them. 

But most of those who come to this world come searching for the taste of hell. They have raised many animals within them and have developed a taste for hell. 

My children, we must help them to change. Look around you. Can you see a true human being in the entire place? Have you seen even one here during our visit? 

No, you saw only outer forms that had the appearance of human beings. If a true man were to stand before this city, such animals could not enter here. They could not pass by him, for he would destroy them. 

But the people here have never seen a true man, and so they are prey to the demonic beast. That is why this city is continually being destroyed. 

Are you coming, my children? Let us go further on and visit the house of a true human being. To get there we must climb up five steps and then go even higher to the sixth step, where his house stands. 

Now look around. The whole world can be seen from here. Below, on the steps of the five elements live the five kinds of lives: earth-lives, fire-lives, water-lives, air-lives, and ether-lives. But here, on the sixth step lives the heart, which is the palace of the soul, 
where the light of Allah dwells. 

The sixth life is a great mystery, a vast secret. It is easy to understand earth, fire, water, air, and ether, but it is most difficult to understand the soul. However, if through divine knowledge ('ilm) a human being does succeed in understanding this sixth life, then he will come to know Allah, who is the Emperor of that soul. 

The soul is Allah's secret and His treasure. It is a tiny point, an infinitely small piece of flesh dwelling within the house of the heart. This tiny point is know as the throne of the true believer, the 'arshul-mu'min. The grace of Allah, the wealth of His divine knowledge ('ilm), and the treasures of wisdom and God's qualities, can all be found there. This is a very great mystery. 

My children, now let us enter this wondrous house. This is the house of the Qutb, Muhaiyaddeen 'Abdul-Qadir al-Jalani (may God be pleased with Him), the house of wisdom. This is the sixth level of wisdom, the state of Qutbiyyat, the wisdom which explains. This is the wisdom of 'ilm, the state of divine analytic wisdom. 

Here you can find Allah, the soul and goodness. Here will be the food that is good for you, and all that is permissible, or halal. 

From this vantage point, let us look down and observe the city of the world, the dunya. 

You can see so many wonders - seventy thousand varieties of lights, colors, fruits, leaves, and other wondrous things. 

And yet that whole world is but a tiny dot, or nuqat, below the Arabic letter "ba" (the Arabic letter for 'b', like in the word Bawa). Everything we see exists within this dot. 

From here we can also see the eighteen thousand universes. They are contained within the sukun, the circle on top of the letter mim, 
the Arabic letter for "m" (like in the word Muhaiyaddeen or Muhammad or Moses). 

This sukun appears in Allah Muhammad. Allah is the support for this house, the alif, the pillar for the sukun of the mim. Once the mim is supported by Allah, it becomes Allah Muhammad. 

Because Allah protects Muhammad (Sal.), the world of pure souls and the eighteen universes, this house of the soul is absolutely indestructible. Have you looked at this house? It is a mystery. 

Do you know its length and breath or its depth? Do you know how vast it is? As you look deeper and deeper into each universe, it becomes vaster and vaster. 

These eighteen thousand universes are yours, and the eight heavens are yours. Whenever you wish, you may come and go, to and fro, among them. You have been given the freedom to do this. 

Yet man continues to live confined within this tiny dot, which is the world. How difficult he finds it to live there! How terrified he is, imprisoned in such a small place! You must think about this. 

My children, the world is only a nuqat, a tiny house were the creations live, but this sukun, this Rahmatul-'alamin, the grace of all the universes, is your true home, your secret house, and it is a vast mystery. You must understand this mystery, my children. 

Now, look at the ninety-nine windows of this house. Allah has built these windows out of His ninety-nine compassionate qualities and actions. If you look through each window, you will see the wonders of all of everything, from beginning to end. 

You can see and understand the world of the souls, this world, and the hereafter. You can see the seven hells and the agonies suffered there. You can see how the people in the world are tortured by their desires and cravings. 

Stand at each window, my children, and look at the horrendous things taking place in each section of the world. Look at the arrogance, karma, and misery. Look at the selfishness, the jealousy, doubt, envy, anger, hypocrisy, and fighting. Look at the battles, the bloodshed, maiming, and the killing in this world within the dot below the (Arabic letter) "ba'". 

Do you see how the animals are trying to destroy each other? Hell is eating hell, demons are drinking the blood of demons, snakes are swallowing snakes, dogs are biting dogs, donkeys are kicking donkeys, elephants are charging at elephants, lions are killing lions, tigers are stalking tigers, cows are butting cows, and cats are pouncing on cats. 

They are all fighting within their own families, against their own kind, and destroying each other. Can you see anyone else coming to ruin them? No, the destruction comes from within. The enemy within them is the enemy that is destroying them. 

Do you see what is happening now, my children? All these animals are banding together and have chosen the lion as their leader. Having united as one force, they are ravaging everything, and once they have destroyed the entire city, they will turn and destroy each other. This is hell, and these are the societies of hell. We must understand this, my children. 

Allah's ninety-nine gracious qualities, of the As-ma'ul-Husna, are the windows through which we can see all of this world and the hereafter. Come, stand here and look with your divine knowledge through each of His names and each of His qualities. Once you have looked through these windows, you will understand. 

Do you see the complete and faultless treasure of absolute wealth which has been given to you? Do you see Allah's grace of Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim? This is the water which Allah made to be exalted in the world of pure souls, in 'alamul-arwah, and placed in the goblet of iman, within the faith of the Kalimah. 

Take one drop of its benevolent grace and place it on your tongue of divine knowledge. 

Now taste it. How is it, my children? Ahhh! That one drop of the water of Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim has seventy thousand exquisite tastes, doesn't it? How delicious it is! 

Can you compare its taste to any other you have known? Can you find a taste equal to it anywhere in the world? Do you feel any hunger now? No, you are filled with grace. 

Look at your body now. It is shining with light and you are complete. Allah's house of grace, His Rahmat, is yours. 

Can you understand this? And yet you took only one drop. What will you be like if you drink a whole once? Your entire body will become a house of grace. You will be transformed into brilliant light and merge with the light of Allah. 

To find this water you must come here to the secret house of wisdom. Only then will you receive completeness. If you fail to come, you will be left with only what you can see on the outside. You must understand this. I love you, my children. 

Watch out! The beast is coming! It is as huge as a mountain. Fire is spewing out of its mouth, and the entire city is shaking. This monstrous beast is called Muyalahan. It comes from hell. 

Its form is all the evil qualities of the world rolled into one: arrogance, karma, illusion, and the three demons known as tarahan, singhan, and suran. 

Children, it is coming closer! But do not be afraid, this beast cannot touch a true man of iman or the qualities of Allah. It cannot touch the Ill-Allahu that comes from Allah's qudrat.

Stand to one side, out of the way of danger. I will tell you what is happening. Oh, the beast is almost here! Look, it has three eyes! One eye is lust, one is hell, and the third is the burning fires of that hell. 

All three eyes are blazing with fire from the passage of hell. The flames are spreading to this section of the city, and all the houses are ablaze. The whole city is burning! 

Come, you can watch with me through the window of Compassion, the window of Rahim. 

Look! The beast has been scorched and blinded by its own fire, which has ignited its body. It is burning in the fire from its own mouth. Unable to see the path, it is panicking, frantically dashing here and there, and crashing into things. 

How horrible! Listen to it screaming and howling as it writhes on the ground. The whole city shudders and quakes at the sound. 

When this beast, which exists in the heart of man, approached the house of the soul, when it faced the truth and the resplendence of truth, its eyes were blinded. 

Like this, my children, whatever one develops within himself in this city of the world, whatever fire he lights, that same fire will burn him. He himself nurtures his own demonic beast. It comes from within him. 

It is his own qualities and actions that are destroying him and making him suffer. They are the cause of his poverty, illness, karma, and misery. Whatever desire he has for land, gold, sensual pleasure (woman), and anything that is forbidden, or haram, whatever pride, jealousy, deceit, anger, treachery, doubt and suspicions he harbors - all these evil qualities come out of him and burn him to a crisp. 

Whatever suffering he undergoes arises from within himself, and then, unable to bear such misery, he blindly runs here and there, not knowing his way. He cries out to countless gods, but they do not come to help him. 

He turns to race, religion, and caste, yelling, "Mine!" and "Yours!" He shouts mantras and performs cunning tricks, or tantras. But nothing comes to his help. The demonic beast that burns him is the very state that he developed within himself. 

He has forgotten the one truth that could help him (that God is "One with" you, that you are not "separate from" God).  He runs hither and thither, wailing from the pain of the fire, and finally he rushes toward the ocean of illusion and plunges into the drain-hole of karma, down the birth canal from which he first came. 

Look how he twists and turns and tumbles as he falls into that tiny hole. But that doesn't help him either, for even there, the fire is not quenched. 

My children, you must understand this. Come, now that the beast has disappeared into the cave, let's go outside and climb the mountain that towers over the city, and from there we will be able to see even further. 

Listen! Do you hear that sound? It can be heard in all four sections of the city, in the north, the south, the east, and the west. It can be heard all over the world. Within that one sound are forty thousand voices calling, 

"Son of so-and-so, you have reached the limit of your food and water on this earth. Come to the mountain!"

The forty thousand names that are called are human names, but the people who come running in response look more like animals. 

Children, watch and see what happens. Each time a man hears his name called, he becomes anxious and fearful, for suddenly, all the animals he has so carefully reared within his heart, all the wicked qualities which he has nurtured, come rushing out to destroy him, and this creates terror in his mind. 

Look! The people who heard themselves summoned are running. The moment they heard their names called, they broke away, ripped off their clothes, and run wildly. Others are trying to stop them, but they cannot. 

My children, do you know what this sound is? It is death. It is the sound of the Lord, the Rabb. He who created the world and all the being in it also created death. He decreed that all of everything that has been created must one day come to an end. 

Death must come to mind and desire as well as to the body. One day each man will have to leave everything behind and go on to the state of death. 

At each of the five times of prayer, or waqt, at all times, so many beings are beckoned by death and nothing can help them then, not their relatives or properties or attachments, nor their philosophies, religions, idols, mantras or tantras. 

Even though a man may possess great wealth, even though he has everything, nothing can stop his fear of being called one day. It haunts him constantly and prevents him from enjoying the benefits of the wealth of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, the primal beginning, this world, and the hereafter. 

Thus he lives in fear until he dies. Just when he is least expecting it, when a man thinks he has escaped and will stay in the world forever, death suddenly calls to him from the top of that high mountain. 

His time is up. And when death calls, he must go. Nothing can hold him back. Nothing can defeat death. God is the only One who can change the destiny of a man, the only One who can change his time of death. 

Only the One who created him can allow him to stay in this world. No one else has that power. 

I give you my love, my children. You must think about this. You saw those people running away, and now you know where they were going. 

My loving children, we will talk more about this later. Tomorrow we will watch them going up the mountain, but now, let's rest for a while.

Bawa. So Second My Dearest Loving Children, Lets Review 

Knowing "Your Current Word".

Bawa. As Explained In "God-Talking Comment 09", In Truth For You, And In Truth For All of My Children, Without Exception, “Your Self/Body/Behavior/
Presence/Word” Is Not As You Now “See It”, Or As You Now “Believer In It”, Or As You Now “Understand It”, Or As You Now “Experience It”, Or As You Now “Pray To It”, Or As You Now “Do Duty & Service To It”, Or As You Now Expect To “Have It” Both In “This World” And in “Your Next World”, And Now Most Importantly, As You Now Expect To “Have It” In “Your Grave”, That Is, As “One With” It, if you like, and that is for sure. 

Bawa. For In Truth “Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word” Is “An Elemental 
Power”, That Is, 

Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word” Is
An Elemental Power

That Dawns

In “The Place
Where There Is 
An “I”,

That Is,

Your Word” Is
An Elemental Power

That Dawns

Within “Your Impure Heart/Mind
When You “Have NOT Truly Learned

How NOT To Be There”,
As “Separate From” God Within You,

So 
God Can Be There
As “One With” You Within Him,

if you like,
and that is for sure. 

Bawa. That Is, “Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word” Is “An Elemental Power”, As Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Teaches Us, And Now As Our Dearest Loving Son, And Your Dearest Loving Brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), In Whom “We Are Well Pleased”, Is Teaching Us Again, As “Follows”, if you like, and that is for sure. Amen.

Bawa. For Example, As Bawa Teaches Us In The Following “Short Excerpt” And In The Following “Full Text” of “Chapter 03”, Called “Going Up The Mountain”, In “The Beautiful Book” of “Wisdom”, Called “A Mystical Journey”, (Also See “A Partial On-line Version”), if you like, and that is for sure. Amen.

“The Beginning”
of 
A Short Excerpt
From “Chapter 03”,
Called "Going Up The Mountain",
From The Book,
A Mystical Journey”,
(Also See “A Partial On-line Version”),
By His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.).

Yesterday we heard a voice calling from the top of the mountain,

"Son of so-and-so, come at once! Your time is up.Your rizq, the food and water allotted to you in this world, has come to an end." 

It was death calling.

To find out where this call is coming from we have to climb up the rocky mountain of our heart, and go beyond.

Children, there is only one path that will lead us upward, and it is so narrow that only one person can walk along it at a time.

You must come within me, and together we will go upward, holding onto the chain of faith, certitude, and determination. This chain of iman comes from inside my heart.

Hold on to it firmly, strengthen your faith, and climb with me up the mountain. This is how you must ascend the innermost heart of the qalb.

“The End”
of 
A Short Excerpt
From “Chapter 03”, 
Called "Going Up The Mountain",
From The Book,

(Also See “A Partial On-line Version”),
By His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

-- And --

“The Beginning”
of 
The Full Text
of “Chapter 03”,
Called "Going Up The Mountain",
From The Book,
A Mystical Journey”,
(Also See “A Partial On-line Version”),
By His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim - 
In “The Name of God”, 
The Most Merciful
The Most Compassionate.

His Holiness Teaches Us:

I give you my love, My children, My brothers and sisters, My sons and daughters. Yesterday we visited the city of the world and watched a huge, demonic beast destroy the city, terrorize the people, and kill and gobble up whomever it could catch. 

We saw some people hiding in fear, and others trying to run away. Then we saw the beast burning in the fire of its own hell.

My children, you witnessed the suffering that the beast experienced in that hell, didn't you? 

Both the fire and the beast are the four hundred trillion, ten thousand qualities of maya, or illusion, that burn within man. Like that demonic beast, man is burned by every bad quality and every evil thought or intention He has. 

The flames of his own thoughts consume him, as he marks time, awaiting the sun or the moon, counting the days and months and years. He is burning in the very time that he so carefully records. This is what is called the world. 

The huge mountain which towers over the city of the world is the hard rock of man's heart, the mountain of stubbornness, arrogance, karma, and all the evil qualities that he has gathered and nurtured within himself. 

This hard rock grew out of the five elements of earth, fire, water, air, and ether, which are always operating within the form of man. 

Yesterday we heard a voice calling from the top of the mountain, 

"Son of so-and-so, come at once! Your time is up.Your rizq, the food and water allotted to you in this world, has come to an end." 

It was death calling.

To find out where this call is coming from we have to climb up the rocky mountain of our heart, and go beyond

Children, there is only one path that will lead us upward, and it is so narrow that only one person can walk along it at a time.

You must come within me, and together we will go upward, holding onto the chain of faith, certitude, and determination. This chain of iman comes from inside my heart.

Hold on to it firmly, strengthen your faith, and climb with me up the mountain. This is how you must ascend the innermost heart of the qalb. 

Look, we have come to the Zamzam well. From here we have to travel through another narrow passageway. Now we are at the level of the kursi, the eye of wisdom. Stand here and look down at the city. What you see is the world. Come, stay awhile and observe all that is there.

Now we must climb back down through this passageway and continue our journey. From this point on we have to travel by air. There are two air currents, one that goes up and one that goes down. If we follow the downward current, it will push us down, so we have to be careful to catch the upward current. 

Now fly with me and ride this current to the top of the mountain. 

Come, my children. Come to the 'arsh, to the throne of Allah. Standing here, you can look all around and see thousands of trees covering the mountainside. Do you smell the wonderful fragrance emitted by the sandalwood trees and other incense trees?

And look at the beautiful lime trees, and the orange, apple and jack fruit trees, all heavily laden with fruits. 

Now look down at the animal we saw earlier gazing on the mountainside. They cannot appreciate the beautiful fruits that grow there. Do you see how they take one bite, then throw them aside and trample on them? 

It is true that their outer forms are those of human beings, but inside they have changed. This can be clearly seen and understood when you observe them from the top of this mountain. 

Now, my children, from here let us go out into the space beyond. Do you see any human beings here? No, there is nothing but a beautiful, green wide-open space.

Ah, it is so lovely. 

There are four kinds of cooling breezes blowing here, carrying with them the sweet fragrance of flowers. This air, which arises from God and the truth, blows freely and is so very cooling and comforting. We have come to the first heaven. 

Lets move on now. Look, do you see that smooth, shining square of green? It glistens like a brilliant gem. This is where that call was coming from.

Listen! The voice is calling once more. 

"O men," 

It says, 

"Creations of God! According to your destiny, the food and water that was kept on earth for you has now come to an end. Come!" 

Look down again at the city. Although only one call went out from here, forty thousand people are racing frantically up the mountain in answer to it. 

Once again, relatives and friends are running to the foot of the mountain, clutching at those who were called, trying in vain to hold them back.

Listen to them weeping and crying out. 

"Come back, my son! 

Oh, my father, don't go.

Mother! 
Don't leave us! 

Oh, wait my brother! 
My sister! 
Stay!"

In so many ways they are trying to hold back those who were called. But nothing can stop them. 

Look how they push the others away and come running, with their hair disheveled. As soon as the call is sounded, all of them dash up the mountainside and rush wildly toward this green square. 

It is only twelve feet by twelve feet, but it swallows up all forty thousand of them. The moment they step onto it, they disappear. They came to this world, and now they must leave it. All who are born will one day die. 

My children, we must learn how to cut our connection to death. 

Two things exist in this body. They are light and earth. The light belongs to the soul. It is God's treasure. The earth belongs to the body; that is karma. 

What is known as the world was made out of one fistful of earth. All creations belong to the earth and will one day be called back and returned to the earth.

This call will not come for us if we return what we owe during our lifetime. But if we keep within us the things of the world, then we will be called to return them. 

Look how the people come running when they are called. Only those who die before death will not hear the call. 

If you do not have a connection to the earth, you will not be pulled by death. 

But if you have desire, then desire will pull you. If you have attachments, attachments will pull you. If you have blood ties, blood ties will pull you. If you have illusion, illusion will pull you. If you have treachery, treachery will pull you. If you have fire, fire will pull you. 

Whatever you have a connection to, that same thing will pull you. One magnet pulls another. This is death. 

But if you have no connection to worldly things, you will not be pulled.


Your connection to this world is the thing that must die. Do you understand this? 

Now, my children, you wait here and I will go closer to that square of green. See how it shines like an emerald? Its surface is very smooth, without a ditch or a furrow. 

Look, I am walking on it, and it did not swallow me. I can walk around the whole square, but it does not pull me into it. Only those whose names have been called will disappear into this square. That is destiny. 

Now my children, let's go in a different direction. Look, a man is seated under the tree over there. His face is so beautiful, more radiant than the full moon, and lovelier than a lotus flower. 

The resplendence of His face fills the whole world. On His head He wears a crown inlaid with 124,000 gems. His face, hands, and feet, and clothes are all so exquisite. 

Let us go closer. His hands are outstretched, and He is calling to us. Listen, can you hear what He is saying, 

"O slaves of God, my children, God created you. He has undiminishing love for you. He has given you food and limitless wealth and grace." 

"My children, at one time I was earth, and God took that earth and made it into a form. When I understood Him and praised Him, He made Me beautiful and gave Me this station." 

"First, Allah created Me, and then through Me He created all of you. 

Everything that appears from Me came out as forms, as shapes, and as lives." 

"Then He sent the 124,000 prophets, the olis, who have realized absolute faith (iman), the qutbs, who can explain divine analytic wisdom, the auliya, who are the favorites of God, and the gnanis, who have grace-awakened wisdom." 

"They were all sent here as children who had received Allah's wealth. And God made the joy of these children into a crown and gave it to me. Do you see the crown I am wearing?" 

"My children, give me your joy, and the goodness you have found. Turn it into a permanent wealth and come to me. Do not waste this fistful of earth that was given to you. Do not destroy your birth. Search for and realize fulfillment." 

"Your Father, Allah, your Rahman, is watching you." 

"He has entrusted you with His property (the form of the Nur Muhammad), and you must return to Him all that He gave to you." 

"Return the wealth and the truth that came from Him, return His good qualities, and return His duties and actions, His wilayats." 

"In the form of Nur Muhammad, God has given these to you as trusted property, as the wealth of grace, the wealth of the soul, the wealth of truth, and the wealth of divine knowledge, of 'ilm." 

"If you return this trust to Him in its original form without destroying it or spoiling it, He will give you His wealth, just as He gave it to me. You too must know this. 

Do not waste that which was given to you." 

"This is "My Prayer", 

'O God, save my children! Do not let them go on the wrong path. Bring 
them back to the good path, as You brought me back.'"

My children, do you know who this being is? He is our original Father, Adam (may the blessings of God be upon Him). He is Bawa Adam (A.S.). 

God took one fistful of earth and made it into a human form, and gave it a radiance (the form of the Nur Muhammad). That form (of earth) was our Father, Adam (may the blessings of God be upon Him), and from Him, Eve (may the blessings of God be upon Her) was created. 

Come, my children, let's go closer to Him. He is speaking again, 

"Have all of you come to me?" 

"Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, your joy and your wealth have become my joy and my wealth. They belong to me." 

"And you yourselves have come here to meet me."

Now wait for a moment, my children. Adam (A.S.) is speaking to me. 

"O my son, come to me. And just as you have come, bring along your brothers and sisters. 

"Tell them that they must return to Allah the property which He entrusted to them."

"Take my children on the right path, in the primal beginning, in this world, and in the hereafter, in awwal, dunya, and akhirah." 

"Cut away whatever is bad in them and help them accept what is good 
(within them), so they will conduct themselves in that way." 

"Help them to return the truth to Allah.

My children, did you hear what Adam (may the blessings of God be upon Him) told me? Did you see how he kissed me and embraced me with love? He praised me and told me many secrets of God. 

Come closer, children, he is giving us his blessings, and his permission to go. 

"As-salamu 'alaikum. May the peace of God be with you, children" 

"Wa 'alaikumus-salam. And may His peace be upon you also, Father." 

Let us go now. We have to continue on our way and see some more. 

My children, next we have to walk along this slope, were there are one thousand and one wells lined up in a long row. 

Fires of suffering are blazing within the walls of these wells, and insects, worms, and snakes are crawling out of them. Look! There are dead bodies on the ground all around the wells. How did they die? What killed them? 

My children, these wells are the one thousand and one energies of illusion, filled with the poisons and sufferings of hell. Do you know who these corpses are? They are the people who drank that poisoned water and died. 

They boasted, 

"My race, my religion, my philosophy", 

And endlessly recited different mantras and prayers. 

They practiced mesmerism, and performed magic and cunning tricks or tantras, and elemental miracles or siddhis. They made gods out of the sun, moon, and stars; out of earth, fire, water, air, and ether; and out of rats, cats, horses, donkeys, lions, tigers, foxes, dogs, snakes, scorpions, eagles, and vultures. 

They put their faith in these created things, and toiled for all these false gods of their own making. They even made demons, ghosts, and satans into gods. Instead of worshipping God, they worshipped His creations. 

Understand this, my grandchildren. There is no God other than the One God. There is no equal or parallel to Him. 

Never put faith in anything but Allah. 

Every one of these dead people produced his own energy, and believed in it, devoted his time to it, and died from that very energy. That was what they searched for in this world, and that was the state they lived in (and died in). 

My children, you and those born with you must not partake of even one drop from these wells. Such water is not good for a human being. It comes from the wickedness of hell, and those who drink it die. 

Of their own free will they drink that poisonous water which oozes out of the seven hell, and then they perish in illusion. 

Look the earth will not consume these corpses. Not even the demons will eat them. Only the worms and scorpions and snakes that are crawling out of the wells will devour that flesh. 

And now the fire has also come to consume them. They are burning in the very flames they started, perishing in the energy of the maya arising from the wells. Can you smell the foul odor of the burning bodies? 

Even when these people were alive, they had an evil stench about them, that came from eating the murdered things of karma and drinking the poison of the thousand and one wells. 

They were diseased from this poison when they were alive, and even now in death it is following them, and causing them great suffering. Their actions are all being engulfed in the fire (of hell). 

My children, you must realize that no matter how long a man lives, one day he has to go, and he will go either to the right or the wrong side, to good or to evil. 

His good deeds will bring merit, but his evil deeds will bring him to hell. Whoever keeps the things of hell within him while he is in the world, he will know the suffering of hell, and in the hereafter, he will suffer from illusion and from his base desires, or nafs. 

Such a man will have no peace or tranquility, here or in the hereafter. 

However, even though some people experience illness, difficulties, and the suffering of hell while they are in the world, they have the determination to search for the help of that One and only Great One. 

During their lifetime they try to rid themselves of evil. And with God's help they are cured of many of these illnesses and sorrows. They are the ones who will find peace in the hereafter. 

Other people may appear to be happy in the world, but inside they are burning in the fire of hell. They may smile on the outside, but on the inside they are suffering and crying. 

They dress well and say that they are enjoying life, but inside they are filled with worry and sorrow. Even though they appear to be peaceful, a terrible disease is tormenting and killing them. Not even for a second do they find any peace. 

There is no peace for a man who has the world within him, whether he is a king or a beggar, a rich man or a poor man, learned or unlearned. Even the poets and those who call themselves swamis and wise men, or gnanis, have no peace, if they have kept the world within them. 

For such men, there is no comfort either in this world or in the hereafter, because they carry over with them what they have gathered here. In the world they are lured by the advertisements of hell, and in the hereafter they suffer from the results of that hell. 

But the one who does not accept the world will have joy in the hereafter. 

We must understand this clearly. 

My children, let us travel still further on our journey. Oh, look at that shining crystal! 

Do you see the many different colors emanating from it? And within it is a small amount of water, in which you can see fish and crabs and other beings. Look intently at the beauty of this water. It is not at all like the water in the wells (we just saw). Do you see the resplendent light coming from it? It is even brighter than the sun. 

The water in this crystal has seventy thousand different tastes. If you can drink just one drop, your whole form will change into a form of beauty. 

My children, gaze into this water. Look! The fish and crabs have become like precious gems, like gold and shining emeralds. Do you see those tiny insects? They too look incredibly beautiful. 

Whatever falls into this water keeps changing and changing until it becomes a form of great loveliness. How subtle this water is! Within it you can see the resplendence of God and the beauty of each of His qualities. 

My children, Allah's greetings of peace and supplications, His salams and salawats, resonate there in that water of divine knowledge. 

There you will find His representatives, His prophets, His olis, qutbs, auliya, and all those who know Him. 

Whoever falls into this water of divine knowledge ('ilm) will keep changing, until the taste of Allah is within him and he becomes the beauty of Allah. 

Do you understand what this shining crystal is, my children? It is the innermost heart of a true human being. 

Hidden within that heart is a secret place, and within that place is a tiny piece of flesh which is the throne of the true believer (mu'mim), the arshul-mu'mim. 

That small piece of flesh cannot be destroyed by anything. Neither earth, nor fire, nor water, nor air, nor ether; neither maya, satan, hell, nor the world can touch it or destroy it. 

On the Day of Questioning when man is called back, at the time of Qiyamah, this is what will be raised up, this piece of flesh which never perishes. This is the ka'bah, the place within the heart to which each man must make his pilgrimage, or hajj. 

He must enter within this piece of flesh to receive the wealth of the three worlds, (awwal, dunya, and akhirah, and the wealth of these three worlds is the Triple Flame of God - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen). 

There within that piece of flesh he will find light, and within that light is the soul, the ruh. Within that soul is the wealth and grace of Allah, His Rahmat. And within that grace is Allah's power and His qualities. 

Flowing forth from those qualities and from that innermost heart, known as Ahmad, is the water of divine knowledge ('ilm), and Allah's ninety-nine duties and actions, His 
wilayats. 

When the heart of a true human being has reached the state of perfection, you will find within that heart a most exquisite beauty and seventy thousand different tastes. 

My children, so that we might understand all this, God has shown us the place of the Shining Crystal. Look at the small creatures that have fallen into the water and been transformed. How beautiful even they have become! 

But they are only animals, and you are a human being. If you fall into this water of divine knowledge ('ilm), how much more beautiful you will become. 

God has said, 

"Become like this." 

If you do, you will know endless joy and grace. You must understand this. 

I give you my love, my children, sons and daughters, my brothers and sisters. 

Now once again, it is time to move on. Look we have come to a huge, beautiful well make of shining marble. It is forty feet square and surrounding it are six beds. 

Look, one of the beds is richly decorated and far more beautiful than the other five, and above it is spread out an exquisite canopy, providing cooling shade. 

My children, there are many wonders concerning this bed. Not everyone can sit upon it. Only the one who has the necessary qualifications is entitled to rest here, where he will be sheltered and given an abundance of grace. If anyone else sits on this bed, he will be burned. 

Come we must enter the well. You have to walk down five steps that lead into the water and then immerse yourself in it. 

Now watch as I go into the well. From where you stand, you cannot see that three of the walls have something written on them. But you can only read what it says if you go under the water. 

"O human beings, slaves of God, children of Adam (A.S.), come. You have arrived here as six people, but you must leave behind five of these people and come alone, for only one person can enter this well and bathe." 

"If all six people try to enter, this water will turn into fire, and instead of bathing, you will be burned to ashes in the flames of the sufferings that you bring with you.

"Remember this and come alone. Tell those who came with you to sit on the other five beds. Only when you become one with Me can you bathe here." 

"Now enter and receive My beauty, My light, and My grace. Once you have fallen into this water and emerged again, you will understand the secret and the grace of the beautiful canopy covering the sixth bed. Then you will know what happens here."

This is what is written beneath the water on the first wall of the well. Now look at the writing on the second wall. 

"Come alone as one. Bathe and then sit on the sixth bed. There you will receive your rizq, the nourishment and sustenance from Allah."

"The food and honey and drink that comes for you will be a wondrous taste. It is the taste of My divine knowledge and grace. Once you know that taste you will know Me."

"Sit on this bed and read. Later the canopy will fold, and then you must leave this place and go beyond. You will have to walk about five hundred miles until you come to a big ocean." 

"Listen and I will tell you the secrets of this ocean."

The writing continues on the third wall: 

"The first ocean is the ocean of silver. If you touch that water, you will change into a silver statue. But if you praise Me without touching it, a boat will come for you.

“No one will be aboard that boat, but your food will be there. You must climb into that boat and it will carry you across the ocean of silver." 

"Next you will come to the ocean of blood. Step carefully onto the shore, for if you touch that water, you are finished." 

"All the beings in that red ocean have bloody forms. The snakes, the other creatures, and the water itself are all made of blood. The stench is so foul that you cannot bear it." 

"If you touch even one drop of that water, you will become a clot of blood. But if you stand on the shore and pray to Me, a boat will come with your food and water. No one will be steering it, but climb aboard anyway and continue on your journey." 

"Once you have crossed the ocean of blood, you will come to the black ocean, which is filled with pitch black darkness. You will not be able to see anything. 

“Again, you must be very careful, for even if one drop of this water touches you, your whole form will darken, and you will become a statue of darkness." 

"But if you stand there and pray to Me, once again a boat with no one aboard will come with food and water for you. You must climb into that boat and continue on your way." 

"Next you will come to the blue ocean, where everything is poison. Poisonous blue snakes and scorpions and all sorts of evil creatures will crowd around you from all four sides." 

"But if you pray to Me and do not touch the blue water, then another boat will come carrying bread and a pitcher of water for you. Climb into that boat and cross the blue ocean."

"Then you will come to the ocean of gold. Wherever you look, everything will be gold. Do not touch a single drop of that water, for if it touches any part of you, your whole body will be turned into a statue of gold!" 

"Stand on the shore until another boat comes for you, carrying your food and water." 

"Finally, once you have crossed that ocean of gold, you will come to a wide-open space filled with nine kinds of precious gems." 

All this was written on three of the marble walls of the well. 

********** 

My children, to proceed on this journey, you must go alone. Before I could enter the well to bathe and to read what was on the walls, I had to leave behind the five that I came with. 

After that, I sat on the bed in the shade of the canopy, waiting until the food and water from God and the fruits of the heavens came to me. 

Now, my children, you must discover for yourself the wondrous flavor of this food. Come, taste it. Do you see how delicious it is? This is the food of Allah's qualities, and His divine knowledge ('ilm) and the wealth of His daulat. You must understand this. 

I give you my love, my children. On this journey, sometimes you will have to walk, sometimes you will have to fly, and there will be times you will come to places you cannot cross without entering within the Shaikh. 

At those times you must enter his wisdom and go as one, uniting with the one of wisdom, good qualities, and 'ilm. Leave behind everything in this world and enter the Shaikh. Enter his soul as soul. Join his wisdom as wisdom. Acquire his qualities and mingle with them. 

You and he must act as one. Only in this way can you cross these oceans and travel on the journey of your soul, the journey from the world to your Father's house. 

Children, you came from your Father to the world, and from that world you must return to Him. When you came, you came in the form of an atom, and when you go, you must go in the same form. 

It is necessary for you to understand this and return to your original state, for as long as you do not establish this state, you cannot complete the journey of your soul. 

My love you, my children. Come, let us leave this well and go beyond to the oceans we read about on the wall. Let us cross the five hundred miles to the ocean of silver. 

As-salamu 'alaikum.
