Expanded Title - of Spiritual Discourse 05

Bawa. We have given this Discourse by His Holiness the following "Expanded Title", to better reflect the multiple focus of this "Original Discourse", by His Holiness, as well of its "Expanded Version" and its "Outline & Summary Version" by one of His Children, for example, by Our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Bawa.  With all of this love and compassion of God within you now coming to you at the feet of God for your age, which in truth is the feet of your dearest loving Father,
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
(may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and now on the "outside" of you, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of You), which in truth is each of you living in this age, if you like.

Bawa.  That is, if the true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state within you, that is, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other within you, as if you are "separate from' the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

Expanded Title of Spiritual Discourse 05

"Learning How To
Fall Into The "Fire Of God" Within You,
Before The "Fire of The Beast" Consumes You
And You Are
Literally Dragged Off Screaming
To An Eternal Hell Within You,
Of "Separation From" God Within You"
That is,
"If Your Intention Is Not Praiseworthy",
That Is,
If You Have Not Joined In Partnership With God Within You,
To "Make God's Intention Your Search" Within You,
And If You Are Not
Now Living,
In Partnership With God Within You,
Truly "Intending As God Intends" Within You,
That In The End,
That "No Child Be Left Behind"
That is,
When The Beast Comes Out of At Least One of You,
And Destroys the Outside of All of You.  Amen."

Original Version - of Spiritual Discourse 05

Disciple:

In what way, how and where, does the disciple begin to see his Shaikh within ....?

His Holiness:

Do you see hunger? Have you ever seen hunger coming on?

Disciple:

I can feel it.

His Holiness:

"Right, it is a feeling. This is how you will know the Shaikh, in your feeling. If you come to the right state, you will experience the Shaikh in the same way. You won't see Him, but you will be going behind Him."

"If you have accepted the Shaikh and surrendered to Him, you can come to that state and know Him within your body and your wisdom."

"Look at this thing called hunger. You can't see it, but within your perception and awareness, you can feel it plucking at you. And when you give it the right kind of food, the hunger keeps quiet, doesn't it."

"In the same way, if you imbibe your Shaikh in the right manner, that will stop the hunger of your karma, the hunger of your avarice, and the hunger of your desires and attachment."

"If you drop a bee into the fire, what will happen? It will burn up. The flames will consume it. Where is the bee then? The bee has merged with the fire and the fire has merged with the bee. The bee and the fire are one. There is no difference between them any more."

"In the same way, if you become a true disciple or devotee, and if you serve the Shaikh in the correct way, if you truly surrender and immerse yourself within the Shaikh, then the "you" will be dead and gone. Only the fire will remain, and if someone tries to touch you at that time, his hand will burn."

"But as long as you stay outside the fire there will be two.  As long as you have qualities that the Shaikh does not have, you and the Shaikh will be two separate beings."

"Only on the day that the "you" dies will you become the Shaikh. Then right and wrong, good and bad, truth and falsehood will be understood directly. And when you see something that is right, you will always recognize it as right."

"When you are in that state, at that level of wisdom, all things will be explained. That will be the correct food to appease your hunger."

"That level of wisdom will know. There will be no room for wrong; you will be filled with right."

"But as long as you do not attain such a state, you will not have this inner awareness.
