Outline & Summary of Spiritual Letter 20. Only When Wisdom Stands Up Will Our Mind & Desire Sit Down - because our wisdom in truth is the life within our current life, just waiting to happen within us, as an apple tree is the life within the life of the apple seed, just waiting to happen within the apple seed, just waiting for the apple seed to realize its true destiny, which is the apple tree, and then germinate, then join with the earth to tell the story of the apple tree hidden within it Text of Spiritual Letter 20. Only When Wisdom Stands Up Will Our Mind & Desire Sit Down - because our wisdom in truth is the life within our current life, just waiting to happen within us, as an apple tree is the life within the life of the apple seed, just waiting to happen within the apple seed, just waiting for the apple seed to realize its true destiny, which is the apple tree, and then germinate, then join with the earth to tell the story of the apple tree hidden within it We must come to realize and utilize the great secret of our life, the secret or Sirr of the Creation of God within us, hidden within the form or Sifat of the Creation of God within us, the secret that our good thoughts are hidden within our bad thoughts, the secret that our good qualities are hidden within our bad qualities, and the secret that our good actions are hidden within our bad actions, the secret that they are one, our good and our bad, one hidden within the other as one, one revealing the other as one hides itself within the other. We must come to realize, understand, accept, and join with, this great secret of our life, that when we as "separate from" God stop thinking then we as "one with" God begin to think, that when we as "separate from" God stop acting then we as "one with" God start acting. In this way, our good thoughts are just waiting for our bad thoughts to end, our good qualities are just waiting for our bad qualities to end, and our good actions are just waiting for our bad actions to end, and in this way, our good life, our true life, our life of "oneness with" God, our life of "oneness with" each other, and our life of "oneness with" the Creation of God within us, is just waiting for our bad life, our false life, to end, is just waiting for our false life of separation and differences, for our false life, that we now see as existing "outside" of us, to end. This is how close God is to us, within us, and this is how close we are to God, within us, closer than our own heart beat, closer than our own blood, closer than our own breath. In this way, everything is ready within us to finish what God has started within us, which is to reveal Himself within Himself within our wisdom, we have but to realize, understand, accept, and join with it, we have but to join with what God is doing within us, which is to reveal God within God within wisdom within us, as everything of the apple tree - its roots, its trunk, its branches, its leaves, its flowers, its fruits, and the sweet taste of the fruit, and again the apple seed - is just waiting, is ready for the apple seed to germinate, is just waiting for the apple seed to realize, undersand, accept, and join with it, is just waiting for the apple seed to tell the story of the apple tree, that it was placed in the earth, to join with the earth, to tell. And in this way, our mind and desire will only sit down within us, will only end within us, our life of darkness, impurity, and ignorance, our life of separation and differences that we live and experience as existing "outside" of us, will only end within us, and allow God to finish what He has started within us, when our wisdom stands up within us. When we join with what God and our Shaikh are doing within us, which is to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, and to reveal God within the Creation of True man within us, when we reject what our mind and desire are doing within us, which is revealing false man within the Creaton of God within us, when we join with our Shaikh to tell the story of True Man within us, by joining as the Seed of True Man or Iman within us, as the Nur Muhammad within us, with the purified Creation of God within us, with Adam or the dunya within us, to tell the story of True Man within us, and the completion of the story of True Man within us is True Man within God within us, that we were placed within the Creation of God, to join with the Creation of God, to tell. And to join with God to tell the story of God within True Man within us, by joining as the Seed of God or Islam within True Man within us, as Allah Muhammad within the Nur Muhamamd within us, with the Creation of True Man within us, with Muhammad or akhirah within True Man within us, to tell the story of God within True Man within us, and the completion of the story of God within True Man within us is God within True Man within us, that we were placed within the Creation of True Man to join with the Creation of True Man, to tell. And for any and all of this to happen within us our wisdom must stand up within us, and our wisdom will only stand up within us when we "intend as God intends" within us, and then call our wisdom within us, when we say, "Bawa", or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him), inviting Him to complete God's intention within us. It is just this simple. This is why Bawa teaches us, "The only way to get your mind and desire to sit down is to get your wisdom to stand up." And we get out wisdom to stand up, by setting our intention on God, on what God is doing within us, which is revealing God within God within our wisdom within us, by revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, so True Man within us can reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, and say the word, "Bawa". For without the supervision of our wisdom, the only value of anything that we do is to nourish the lives of separation and differences within us, is to keep our "separation from" God strong, not to liberate our soul, not to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, not to allow our Shaikh to finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal True Man within True Man within us, and not to allow God to finish what He has started within us, which is to reveal God within God within our Shaikh within us. My love you, my dearest brother Jalaal Deen. You are a good child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). May we both read over and over again these beautiful words of wisdom, and reflect on them, reflect on these beautiful words of wisdom coming from the life and teaching of our Father within us, the life and teaching our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, the words of wisdom that have been growing and maturing within the heart of this child over the last 27 years. 21. "Forgive Me The Wrong And Accept The Good, So I Request" Please forgive me if anything that has been shared upsets you or offends you, or your family, or any of your friends, in any way. This child is a fool, who sits at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and calls on His protection and guidance in all things. And as Bawa said at the end of the Forward to the book, The Pearl of Wisdom, on page 7, "Forgive me the wrong and accept the good. So I request." Please give my love and salaams to your mother and father, to your brothers and sisters, to your friends, and share and discuss these words of God's grace with them. They are very important words for your life, for my life, and for the life of all of the Children of God for this age, and they most be shared to continue to grow, within me, within you, and within all of us. That also is how it works. So have no fear, God is here, right here within each of us. That is our true birthright, our true heritage. 22. The Value of God Is In The Use of God Remember, Bawa teaches us, "The value of God is in the use of God". So in all things use God, not you, not you as "separate from" God. So in all things, use the wisdom that God has personally placed within you, which is "Bawa", which is "Bawa Muhaiyadeen", which is our Father, "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen" (may God be pleased with Him). And in this way, and only in this way, may we both join with God within us, by joining with the wisdom of God within us, the direct connection to God within us, that God has personally placed within each of us, to walk out of this dream of "us", the dream of "us" as "separate from" God, back into the reality of "us" within us, of "us" as "one with" God within us, which in Truth is the Oneness of God and True Man within us, which is God within God within our wisdom within us, completing God's intention within us. In this way, we must realize, without the slightest doubt, that everything that we need is within us. Nothing that we need is "outside" of us. 23. Join With Bawa To Plant The Seed, Grow The Tree, & Share The Fruit And finally, His Holiness teaches us, "My words are seeds. If you plant them in your heart they will become the Tree of God's Grace for all of the worlds within you." "Then I will come and join you in tasting the Fruits of this Tree, further explaining them to you in your heart, and we will distribute these fruits together to all of the Creation of God within you, and to all of the Creation True Man within you, and God will be very pleased." My dearest brother Jalaal Deen, may this become our life, both your life, my life, and the life of all of our brothers and sisters, a fearless life built on iman, on our absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God, and in God alone, and on our realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with the gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of our Father within us, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), that God has personally placed within each of our hearts. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
