That is, of Bawa "Curing Himself of you",

As if "you" are "separate from" each other,
And as if "you" are "separate from" the Creation of God,
Within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".
That is,
"Of Bawa putting all of His Children within Himself, within "His Bag",
within the "Bag or Purse of the Qutb", like so many stones of little
value, with rough edges and dirt and all, and then with Bawa twirling
"His Bag", twirling His Children with their faults and all, letting one
stone bang off the rough edges of another, letting one stone polish the
others, until "You" come out as the perfect, polished gems of God, which
Bawa then hands to God, to God within you, if you like, for the Choice
is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to stay in the "Bag of the Qutb",
until "He Is Done", or not."

Children, and of the 17 Answers provided by this child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.).
Bawa. That is, of the 7 Questions asked over the last couple of months by the child conducting the Sunday meeting at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, that is, the Question asked by Faqradeen last Sunday, February 24th, 2008, and then the Questions asked in other Sunday meetings by Ahamd Muhaiyaddeen, by Abdul Qadir, by Jacob and Rahim, by Hamsa BeeBee Dale, by Assia, and by Constance
Bawa. As well as a "Review" of 6 other Questions/Answers asked by this child, by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), of some of My Children, if you like, after the Sunday Meeting, during the last 8 weeks, that is, with Muhammad Razzaq, with Muhammad Abdul Qadir, with Muhammad Yasin & Topi, with Malik, with Abdul Bajir, and with Abdul Jabbar.
Bawa. And Ending with a "Review" of the wonderful 3 Questions asked of His Children by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), when Bawa was living in the world, that is,
15. What Causes "Your" Life To Truly Move Forward, Or Not?
16. Why Does An Apple Seed Germinate?
17. What Has "Incredible Movement" So It Can Stand Perfectly Still?
Bawa. And Finally, Starting with a "Review" of a Question that Bawa instructed this child to Now ask for all of His Children, a Question and an Answer that brings into clear perspective, if you like, "What Truly Defines You", what truly defines the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, what truly Starts To answer the Question that God asked of God in Anathi, in the Time before the "Beginningless Beginning", the Question, "Who Am I?", that is, the "One True Question" Now for your age and for your life, that is,
01. Why Are We "Still Alive", Why Has Destruction Not Yet Happened?
Bawa. All of which makes up the First Version of this Document, of "This Never Ending Document" that in truth is "Your Life", a Document which "We" have called,
"Correcting the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.):
Document No. 1"
Bawa. This Version of the "Review" of each Question and Answer includes both a suggested "Answer" to each Question, in an Either/Or Format, and an "Initial Review" of each of the Questions and Answers. Future Versions of this Review will also include an "Expanded Review" of each of the Questions and Answers, as well as a description of the Sharings that have already taken place, between this child and My Children, concerning some of these Questions and Answers.
Bawa. Also Future Versions of this Review will include a description of the Planned Sharings, yet to happen, if you like, that is, a description of the Sharings that have not yet taken place between this child and My Children, but most certainly can take place, if you like, Planned Sharings coming from the heart of this child, from the heart of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), again, if you like. Amen.
Bawa. The Suggested Answers in this Version of the following "Review" of these Questions are presented in a Contrast Format, that is, in an "Either/Or" Format, rather than as a direct answer, for as "We" taught My Children when "We" were living in the world,
"True Understanding only occurs through Contrast".
Bawa. "We" have presented the Answers in this way, that is, in a Contrast Format, in an Either/Or Format, So My Children can Start to reflect on both "your current life", and if you like, on "Your Next Life", that is, on "The Next Life" that is Now available to My Children, before you die to the flesh, if you like, which in truth is a New Form of Life that is just waiting to emerge from within your "current form of life".
Bawa. That is, as the "Form of God" that is just waiting to emerge from within the "form of satan", before you die to the flesh, if you like, like the apple tree and its fruits is just waiting to emerge from within the apple seed buried within the earth, before the apple seed rots and dies within the earth, that is, a New Form of Life, which in the case of the apple seed is the apple tree and its fruits, is just waiting for the apple seed to germinate to the truth of its own life, that is, to let its "current life" End, so its Next Life can Begin.
Bawa. And in the case of My Children, that New Form of Life is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), is Jesus (A.S), is your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul, just waiting to emerge, just waiting for My Children to germinate to the truth of your own life.
Bawa. A Contrast Format So you can Start to appreciate How One Answers these questions from the "life and state and form" of "separation from", which in truth is the "current life" and "current state" and "current form" of all of My Children, and Start to reflect on the Next Life and Next State and Next Form of Life that Now lies hidden within "your current life" and "your current state" and "your current form" of life, all of which in truth is a New Form of Life, all of which in truth is the "Form of God", that is, a New Form of Life, which is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is just waiting to emerge from within "you", if you like, that is just waiting to emerge from within your "current form of life", from within the "form of satan".
Bawa. For as "We" taught My Children while "We" were living in the world, and as Now recorded for you in the beautiful discourse played last Sunday by Faqradeen, a discourse from 8/11/73, which is available as one of the Monthly CD's,
"You have two forms within you, Either the "Form of God", Or the "form of satan"Bawa. And in this way, So My Children can Also Start to appreciate How One Answers these questions from the "Form of God" within you, that is, from the "Life and State and Form" of "Oneness with", rather than the "life and state and form" of "separation from", all of which in truth is Now the "Life and State and Form" of "Our" dearest loving Son, and of your dearest loving brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased". Amen. Ok?.
=============================================================
"Review of Q & A"
Of The First 17 Questions and Answers
In This New Document,
"Correcting the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.):
Document No. 1"
01. Why Are You "Still Alive", Why Has Destruction Not Yet Happened?
Question asked for My Children by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either because it is Not Yet Time for Destruction to occur, and/or it is Not Yet Time for you to die, Or because "Destruction itself has Now been Destroyed", as "We" told My Children it would be when "We" were living in the world, that is, if before "We" left the world at least One of My Children truly accomplished what "We" asked all of My Children to do, and One Has, and that is "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well pleased".
Initial Review:
Bawa. For in truth Now "Us" and all of My Children are all living within the heart of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), which is Now the "Body of Truth", or the Qalb or Ahamd within all of My Children, that is, is Now "The Place" within each of My Children where the awakened wisdom has joined as "One with" the liberated soul, that is, "The Place" of Jesus (A.S.), of the Four Lettered "Crystal Heart" of "Alif, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", of the 4 Religions Now Joined as One.
Bawa. All of which is Now the "Palace of the Soul", the "House of Wisdom", the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (Ral.) within all of My Children. And within that is the "Secret Form of the Truth of Allah" or Alhamd, or the 5 Lettered "Secret World of Allah" of "Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl", or Firdaus, the 8th Heaven of Muhammad (Sal), the Kingdom of God, or the Hereafter or Akhirah, or "The Place" within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of My Children where the awakened wisdom joined as "One with" the liberated soul, has Now joined as "One with" the Nur, with the Light of Wisdom, allowing the soul to "Realize Allah", if you like.
Bawa. For Now the Choice is yours, not God's, and Not Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen's, the Choice to truly accept and fall into Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as Now "Who You Are", or Not, that is, before you die to the flesh, and an eternal hell becomes your lot.
02. Why Do You "Keep Acting" On The Stage of Drama?
Question asked by Faqradeen (Ral.) at last Sunday Meeting, on 02-24-08
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either because "you" have Not Yet Learned Enough about the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Or because you have Not Yet Surrendered to the Guru, Or because you have Not Yet Fallen into the Fire of God, that God has Now Given To all of My Children, for your age and for your life, Or because you have Not Yet Made Your Choice, between an eternal life within you as "One with" God within you, or an eternal life within you as "separate from" God, Or because "you" and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) are still two separate being, Or because you still have qualities that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) does not have

03. Why Are You Still "Separate From" God/Bawa?
Question asked by Ahamd Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) at Sunday Meeting, on 02-17-08
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either because "you" have Not Yet Learned to Pray to God correctly, that is, to do the Zikr or Salat correctly or enough, or you have Not Yet Learned to Do Duty correctly or enough, that is, to do duty selflessly, with God's Qualities, or you have Not Yet Developed the Qualities of God, Or because "you" Are Still in the "form of satan", that is, "you" Are Still living the "life and state and form" of "separation from" that in your ignorance, and Now in your arrogance about your ignorance, you have Taken On as "who you are", as "where you are", and as "what is happening" in your life, all of which is "Just Not True", all of which in truth "Does Not Define You".
Initial Review:
Bawa. But all of which you have Now Brought to Maturity within you as the "Four Destructive Women", which in truth is Now your "current elemental body" of 9 Openings, that Now Rules Over You, with "God's Permission".
Bawa And all of which you have Now also Brought to Maturity within you as the "Four False Gurus", which in truth is Now your "mind and desire", which is Now your life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which truly starting to grow within you around the age of 3, when as a child, upon coming to this earth world, without an Understanding of "Yourself", without an Understanding of "Who You Already Are", you "Forgot God and fell into many a trap", no longer knowing to "Seek Yourself within Yourself, although God exists within Man".
Bawa. Or because, "You" have Not Yet Taken On the "Form of God", that is, the "Life and State and Form" of "Oneness with" that is Now being offered to you by God/Bawa, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, all of which in truth is Now "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like.
[Note: For more on these wisdom points, please read the Discourse by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) dated 8/11/73, and the First Four Chapters in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOf
Wisdom.homestead.com), that is, "Signs of Spiritual Significance" (www.ThePearl
OfWisdomChap01.homestead.com), and "Search For God", and "Search For A Guru", and "The Four Gurus". Planned Sharing with Ahamd Muhaiyaddeen]
04. What Are The "Significant Relationships" In Your Life?
Question asked by Abdul Qadir (Ral.) at Sunday Meeting, on 02-10-08
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either "You" as "One with" Or "you" as "separate from" God/Bawa, Either "You" as "One with" Or "you" as "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and Either "You" as "One with" Or "you" as "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you.
Initial Review:
Bawa. And the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of how you will live, both here, for a little while move on the "outside" of you, and then how and where you will live for eternity.
Bawa. All of which in truth is Now happening within the heart of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), not on the illusory "outside" of you, if you like, that is, within the heart of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) which in truth is where "We" and all of My Children Now live, both for a little while as the illusory "outside" of My Children, and then for eternity.
Bawa. That is, Either as what is Now within God/Bawa within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Or as what is Now being discarded from Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) by God/Bawa, and then in the End, as what God/Bawa has discarded from within Himself, in order to become God within Shaikh
Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), for eternity, for in truth "There is No Other Choice".
Bawa. Such is the True Significance of My Children who truly Realized, Understood, Accepted, and Joined as "One with" the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), before He left the world, that is, the True Significance of My Children who truly did what "We" told all of My Children to do, before "We" left the world.
Bawa. And Now, Such is the True Significance of "Our" dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), who most certainly did what "We" told all of My Children to do, before "We" left the world.
Bawa. And as Such, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now "Us" for all of My Children, and Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now both "The Here" for a little while, for all of My Children, and then in the End, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now "The Hereafter" for "Us" and for all of My Children.
Bawa. And Again, the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice of where and how each of My Children will spend eternity within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),
as Either God in the "Form of God", Or as "the satan" in the "form of satan".
Bawa. And in this way, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is Now the Judgment and Salvation of all of My Children, is Now "How My Children" make this Choice, that is, the Choice of where and how you will spend eternity, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Either as "One with" God, as God, Or as "separate from" God, as "the satan".
Bawa. And My Children Must Now Make This Choice by Either accepting, Or by rejecting Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Either accepting, Or by rejecting the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now Either becoming "One with", Or by staying "separate from" the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now Either building your life around the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Or not, First on the "outside" of you and then within you.
Bawa. And My Children must Now do this, before Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) too leaves the world, for when He Too Leaves The World, then this earth world, this "School of Contrast", this First of God's Schools, is All Over, and the Hereafter, Eternity begins, Here and Now. And if you are wise, that is, if you have truly become "My Wise Child", then the Next of God's Schools, the "School of Light" begins for My Wise Children, within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within God within you.
Bawa. And if you are not wise, that is, if you truly refuse to accept this "Final Gift of God" for your age and for your life, if you truly refuse to become "My Wise Child", then an eternal hell becomes your eternal reward, all within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), then an eternal hell as "separate from" God/Bawa begins for My Children who so refuse, and that is for sure, for the Choice is yours, not God's.
Bawa. For by My Children rejecting this "Final Gift of God", you have Chosen hell over God, you have Chosen "the satan" over God, So what are "We" to do, but to give you exactly "What you want", but to give you an eternal life of "separation from" God/Bawa [Planned Sharing with Abdul Qadir]
05. What Is "True Change" In Your Life?
Question asked by Jacob, Rahim, Austin, Veronica at Sunday Meeting, 02-3-08
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either "You" taking on the "Life and State and Form" of God, that is, Either "You" falling into the Fire of God for your age and for your life, before you die to the flesh, all of which is Now Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, Either "You" building your life around the life and teaching of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), Or "you" continuing to hold onto the "life and state and form" of "the satan" as "who you are", as "where you are", and as "what is happening" in your life, and the illusory life of "separation and differences" on the illusory "outside" of yourself as "change" in your life.
Initial Review:
Bawa. That is, Or "you" continuing to experience "the drama" of your life, you continuing to experience the illusory swing of happiness and sadness in your life, as "change" in your life, that is, Or "you" continuing to accept your current "life and state and form" of "the satan", all of which your parents gave to you by rolling around like snakes on a bed, as "change" in your life, until you die to the flesh, and an eternal life within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) as "separate from" God within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) becomes your eternal reward [Planned Sharing with Jacob and Rahim and Austin and Veronica]
06. Who Has Bawa "Come For"?
Question asked by Hamsa BeeBee Dale (Ral.) at Sunday Meeting, 01-27-08Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either for "your soul", Or for "you", that is, Either to liberate your soul which in truth is Jesus (A.S.) from the cross of your elemental body, and return it to the Light and Sound of the Nur, allowing the soul to "Realize Allah", that is, to awaken the wisdom surrounding your soul, so the wisdom surrounding your soul can do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", Or for "you", for "you" who is Now the "Enemy of the soul", for "you" who Now refuses to Change "your form", from your "current form" of satan, to the "Form of God".
Initial Review:
Bawa. For if you don't, then God in the End will have no choice but to let satan "have his way with you", that is, to let satan harvest "you", and claim "you" as "his property", and take "you" with him "yelling and screaming" to hell, that is, when in the End satan comes out of at least one of My Children, as "The Beast", and is blinded by the Light of the soul, which Now is Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), within God within you.

07. What Is The "True Joke & Punchline" of Your Life?
Question asked of Muhammad Razzaq (Ral.) by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either in falsehood "you" mistakenly "Think you are God", Or in truth, "You are God", that is, Either in falsehood you continue to "think you can pray to God", and you continue to "think you can do the duty of God", that is, you continue to "think you can do what Only God Can Do, like Pray to God, and Do God's Duty", Or in truth, with "You" as "One with" God", in truth "You are Prayer", in truth "You are Salat", in truth "You are Zikr", in truth "You are the Duty that is Greater Than God" [Sharing with Muhammad Razzaq]
08. Who In Truth "Prays To God", And "Does God's Duty"?
Question asked of Abdul Bajir (Ral.) by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Either "you" as an "associate of God", Or Muhammad (Sal.) as the Abduhu or Slave of God, as the Rasuluh or Messenger of God, that is, Muhammad (Sal.) as the "Beauty of God", and Muhammad (Sal.) as the "Qualities of God"
Initial Review:
Bawa. For in truth, as "We" taught My Children the following on May 21, 1978, which is a Short Discourse which is Now published as part of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar for the year 2001, on the back of the Front Cover,
"It is God's Beauty within you that worships God within you, and it is God'sQualities within you that performs God's duty from within you, and it is God'sModesty within you that overcomes the fascination of torpor within you, and it isGod's Peace of Mind within you that overcomes the illusion or maya within you,and it is God's Remembrance of God within you, God's Remembrance to Pray toGod within you, that allows you to lose the swing of happiness and sadnesswithin you, that is, that allows you to overcome "the drama" of "I and you", of"mine and yours" in your life, the swing of "happiness and sadness" that is Nowthe very life of My Children."Bawa. And in truth, as "We" taught My Children when "We" were living in the world, in "The Second Kalimah (The Islamic Testimony of Faith), "Wahdahu la sharik lahu", that is, "God is One without associates to Him".
Bawa. And in this way, as recorded for you Now as the Appendix in the beautiful book of wisdom, "Islam and World Peace; Explanations of a Sufi", "We" have taught My Children to,
"Bear witness of both the Truth of God and of the falsehood of "the satan", andthen to reject the falsehood of "the satan", that is, and reject all "associates ofGod", including "yourself" as "separate from" God, that is, including rejecting"yourself" as One who can pray to God, or as One who can do the duty of God,as "separate from" God All of which in truth is to testify to the Straight Path ofGod, the "Way of the Lord", a Path that in truth, "Only God Can Walk", not"you" as "separate from" God".Bawa. That is, to say, with each breath, with each look, with each word, with each taste, with each thought, before you "Say or Do or Write" anything, as this child has Now learned to do,
"I testify that there is Nothing Other Than God, Only God Exists, You are Allah.And I testify that God is One without associates to Him. And I testify thatMuhammad (Sal.) is His Only Servant or Slave and His Only Messenger, that is,I testify that Muhammad (Sal.) is His Only 'abduhu wa-rasuluh".

10. What Breaks The Relationship Between "You" And God? - and Now between
"you" and "your children", if you are not very careful.Question asked of Muhammad Abdul Qadir (Ral.) by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen
Suggested Answer:
Bawa. Is Either the influence of the world on "you", and then on "your" children, Or is "your hypocrisy", that is, is you talking about God and "goodness", but you loving and trusting in the world, that is, is "you" licking hell
Initial Review:
Bawa. For in truth as "We" taught My Children while "We" were living in the world,
"When a tree is growing it is very flexible and can bend, like when a child is young and is growing up. At this time the parent can be rigid and inflexible andthe child will bend to the will of the parent, and the relationship between the childand parent will stay healthy, even if the parent is rigid and inflexible""But as the child gets older, like the tree that getting older loses its flexibility, itsability to bend, So too as the child starts to grow up he loses his earlierflexibility, his earlier ability to bend to the will of the parent, and if the parentstays rigid at this time, while the child starts to become rigid, then therelationship between the child and the parent can break, if you are not careful,and switch roles, that is, with you becoming the child, the flexible child, makingthe child Now the parent, the rigid adult, with you Now bending to his will.""In the same way, the relationship between you and God broke when you "Cameinto this earth world, Forgot God, and fell into many a trap, that is, when you nolonger knew to "Seek Yourself within Yourself", although God exists withinman". Bawa. That is, when you established "your presence" as "separate from" God's Presence, and "your intention" as "separate from" God's Intention, and "your story" as "separate from" God's Story, A Story that in truth you came to this earth world to tell, that is, to join as "One with" the Creation of God, and with God within His Creation, to tell, if you like, for the Choice to Either tell God's Story, Or not, is most certainly your Choice, not God's.
Bawa. So Now you must Again become the child, the flexible child, but this time the "Child of God", and Let God Raise You, bending to His Will, and let what you have raised, which is "the satan", which is the "child of darkness", become the parent, the rigid parent, the rigid parent of all of the lives of darkness and evil that have Now grown within you, a rigid parent and his children that God must Now control, correct, and bring back into Himself, offering them Judgment and Salvation, if they like, before you die to the flesh, but either way, removing them from within you before eternity, as God has Now removed them from this child. [Sharing with Muhammad Abdul Qadir]
