Bawa The On-line Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library (Recommended way to Navigate around Library) Spiritual Letter 151-----"On-line Version" ---- About Spiritual Letter 151 Page 1 of 1 Why Is There "No Word" Called "Charity" (Outline of Chapter 15) For True Man? Longer Title of Spiritual Letter: "God created Man. He created the totality of all other Creations for Man. "God created the earth. In the earth, He created gold. In the earth filled with gold, He created the nine varieties of precious stones. He created the brilliant (stones). He created every variety of gems of priceless value. He created the sea, He created numerous things. He opened up places whose value is beyond comprehension. He created the mountains. Inside the mountains, He created innumerable gems and He kept them there. The forest, the mountain, the hill, the river, gold, property, the body, the life-force, the house, the threshold, the cattle, the calf, the storied-house, the Arsh (Throne of Allah), the Kursi (Eye of Wisdom), the Lauhul-Mahfuz (Divine Tablets), Kalam (pen), paradise, hell, and the fourteen worlds, all belong to the Immovable Graceful One". "The Enlightened Ones or True Man burst into laughter if we offer something as Charity, and this is why "There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man", because what right have we to claim anything, when man's life and body belong to Him?" "These True Mystics or True Man realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". "Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him". "This is the Only True Charity, the One True Charitable State, that is, To Be One With God, To Be God" - M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)".

Amen. About Spiritual Letter 151 Bawa. Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of a "Beautiful Review" of Chapter 15, "Charity" (www.SpiritualBook002Chap15.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok? Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of My Children, who in truth is My Dearest Loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, you can avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, for in truth, "Hell Is Simply The Realization That you have "separated yourself" From God within you, Which in truth means that you have Separated "yourself " From "Yourself" within you, From Your Higher Self within you, If You Are Not Wise, If You Don't Again Become One With God within you, Before you die to the flesh, But this time with an Understanding Of Who "You Already Are", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you Again, Because in truth the Choice is yours, not God's" Bawa. All of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate God to God within you, which in truth is the True Disciple, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. And that this child learned to do when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of me and then within me, becoming "One with" the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which all of My Children can still do, if you like, but Now by becoming "One with" the One True Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) As Now "Us" for My Children, as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the true result of the "current life and state" of all of My Children, So in the End you don't get some illusory heaven on another "outside" of yourself, as My Children still mistakenly believe. Bawa. But instead, you become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, but this time with you doing it using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as "Us", as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you as your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and then within you as "Us", as Now Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you. Bawa. And if you do, that is, if you truly learn How To Do this "Hearts Work" correctly, before you die to the flesh, or at least Truly Start to, then your soul life, which is Jesus (peace be upon), your 6th life within you, will "Become Free". Bawa. For in truth all that is Now Stopping "This Freedom of the soul", is "you", is Now your "current form and state", all of which in truth is Now "you" as "the form and state of the satan", which in truth is Now "you" as the "anti-christ", which is Now "you" as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself as "separate from, that is, as a life of selfishness, of sin, of "separation and differences", that is, with "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And Only in this way will you truly become successful in your lifetime, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, Only in this way will "You" as "One with" Us, with "You" as "One with" God, will "You" as Jesus (A.S.) get off of Your Cross, by Letting "Us" destroy the "anti-christ", that is, by Letting "Us" destroy "you" as "separate from", and reveal "You" as "One with". Bawa. Only in this way will You Learn Again How To Live as God's Purity, joined as "One with" God's Consciousness, in search of God's Light, but this time for eternity, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, this "Spiritual Letter 151" on the "True Meaning of Charity" is "A True Love Letter" to Our Dearest Loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. "A True Love Letter" To the "Inner Heart" and From the "Outer Heart" of all of My Children, that is, To your "Inner Heart" within you, which in truth is Now the True Fellowship within all of My Children, which in truth is Now "Us" living within "Your Wisdom", which in truth is Now "Us" living within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you. Bawa. And "A True Love Letter" From your "Outer Heart", for a little while on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now the heart of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. Therefore, "A True Love Letter" that you can Only Send To "Us", by you Now Learning How To Become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, by you First Learning How To Become "One with" 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, because in truth, "What is Separating you from God, Is what is Separating you from each other, And what is Separating you from each other, Is what is Separating you from God" Amen. Bawa. And a beautiful Spiritual Letter which "We" have also given the following "Expanded Tilte", Expanded Title of Spiritual Letter 151 "Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You To Become "One With" Us Within You, In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You, In Order To Truly Understand "Who You Already Are", And "Where You Already Are", And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life, While You Still Can, Before This Kind of Understanding Is No Longer Available To You, Because You Have Become What God Has Discarded From Himself, In Order To Become God Within You. That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?" Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who have truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you. Bawa. May God all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him).

Understanding "True Charity" As A "Tree of Life" - "True Charity" is God, is God within you, is the "Form of God" within you, as in truth for a little while, "True Charity" is your True Physical Guru/Shaikh on the "outside" of you, and Then God within your Guru/Shaikh within you, as a "Tree of Charity" that will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life, like a "Tree of Life" providing nourishment to a "dead tree", a "dead tree" which in truth is Now your "Current Life" as "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of yourself 2. The Meanings of "False Charity" - "False Charity" is the "form of the satan" within you, that is, is Charity that is coming from the "Triple Dirt" of "the satan" within you, all of which in truth is "your" Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion within you, or your "Estimation, Imagination, and Pleasure" within you, all of which in truth is the "form of the satan" within you, Rather than coming from the "Triple Flame" of Allah within you, which is the Dhat, the Sirr, and the Sifat of God within you, which is the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within you, or "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within you. 3. The Meaning of "True Charity" - "True Charity" is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your own presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your own word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do. 4. Why Is There No Word Called "Charity" For True Man? - There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man because in truth True Man "Does Not Exist", because in truth for Him, "Only God Exists", that is, because True Man has learned How "Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", because True Man has "Settled into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", because True Man has become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" made flesh, because True Man has become the "Fire of God" Now burning in the world 5. The Meaning of "True Charity" (Again) - "True Charity" is God, is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your own presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your own word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do 6. How Charity Is Now Being Practices In The World - The Charity That Is Now Being Practices In The World is the Charity that is coming from "the satan" within you, is Charity that is coming from the "form of the satan" within you, all of which in truth is Unkind Charity of the Closed Heart, that is, all of which in truth is just some variation of the Three Kinds of False Charity described earlier, that is, Charity of Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion, and Charity of Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure, that is, Charity of the "Triple Dirt". 7. How Charity Should Be Practices In The World - The Charity That Should Be Practices In The World is Charity that is coming from God within you, is Charity that is coming from the "Form of God" within you, all of which in truth is the One True Charity of the Opened Heart, a type of Charity that you, First as a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now if you like, as a Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), should embrace and learn to Truly Fall into as God's Charity, if you are wise, that is, Charity of the "Triple Flame" ============================================================== "Text & Summary" of "Expanded Version" - of Chapter 15 His Holiness teaches His Children: 1. Understanding "True Charity" As A "Tree of Life" Summary of Topic 01: Bawa. "True Charity" in truth is God, is the "Form of God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as in truth for a little while, "True Charity" is the True Physical Guru/Shaikh on the "outside" of you, and Then is God within the True Guru/Shaikh within you, as a "Tree of Charity" that will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life, like a "Tree of Life" providing nourishment to a "dead tree", a "dead tree" which in truth is Now your "Current Life" as "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of yourself. Bawa. "True Charity" is "You" as this "Living Tree", this "Tree of Life", pouring water on the "dead tree" and helping it to grow Again, that is, to Again become "One with" God within you, "One with" your brothers and sisters, and "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, instead of "separate from", that is, Again "One with" which was your "Previous Life", and then through an Understanding of the Two, that is, through the True Contrast of "your current life" "separate from" and the life of your Physical Guru/Shaikh as "One with", to come to maturity Also as the "Tree of Life", First within you as the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", as our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, and then on the "outside" of you, for a little while, as your "Next Life" as "One with", as the Physical Guru/Shaikh living in the world for those who have "yet to do this", who have yet to make this transition from "separate from" to "One with" in your own lifetime. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. And then as your "Next Life" as "One with", but Now with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So you will never loose it Again, and doing all of this, at least truly Starting To Do It, Here and Now, that is, before you die to the flesh, all for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, not for you, for in truth Now, "you no longer exist" as "separate from", and doing it for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, also not for you, as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. But the world has forgotten all of this, this truth that "Man and God" are One, this truth that "You" and all of your brothers and sister are "One Life", the One Life Now of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this truth that "You" as this "One Life" are Now the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, that "You" are Now the "Door and the Way", that "You" are Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", literally the Judgment & Salvation, for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, that "You" are Now How God Pulls Everything back into Himself, from which Everything has come, So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God from God". Amen. Ok? Text of Topic 01: Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. 2. The Meanings of "False Charity" Summary of Topic 02: Bawa. The Meanings of "False Charity" in truth is "the satan" within you, is the "form of the satan" within you, that is, is Charity that is coming from the "Triple Dirt" of "the satan" within you, all of which in truth is "your" Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion within you, or your "Estimation, Imagination, and Pleasure" within you, all of which in truth is the "form of the satan" within you, Rather than coming from the "Triple Flame" of Allah within you, which is the Dhat, the Sirr, and the Sifat of God within you, which is the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within you, or "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within you. Bawa. That is, Rather than coming from "The Holy Trinity" of God within you, from "The Father, The Sun, and the Holy Spirit" of God within you, all of which in truth is God within you, all of which in truth is the "Form of God" within you. Amen. Text of Topic 02: Today "False Charity" is being classified as follows, from the mind or intellect of "false man": Charity Coming From Your Arrogance, Karma, & Illusion: 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title Charity Coming From Your Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure: 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. 3. The Meaning of "True Charity" Summary of Topic 03: Bawa. The Meaning of "True Charity" is God, is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your own presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your own word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. That is, the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How To Do This" from One who is Living as Such in Ones own lifetime, as this child learned to do, living as Such at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), before He left the world and went into the heart of all of His Children, and is Now living as God/Bawa within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, and for a little while is Now living on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in order to help each of My Children To So The Same, before you die to the flesh, if you like. Amen. [Note: The 4th Meaning of "Charity", which is the Meaning of "True Charity", is further explained by Bawa later in this discourse, and is presented as a True Contrast to the 3 levels of "false Charity" explained earlier, under Topic 02. To read this description of "True Charity" Now, please Click HERE, if you like, and then Jump Back to this spot in the discourse, if you like Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Text of Topic 03: Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, that is, Charity will have the three false meanings of Charity, as explained above, coming from the "Triple Dirt" of darkness and evil within you, that is, coming from the "form of the satan" within you, coming from "the satan' within you, not coming from the "Triple Flame" of God within you, that is, not coming from the "Form of God" within you, not coming from God within you. That is, not coming directly as the Qualities and Wisdom of a True Man, within God within you, as explained later in this discourse, but rather coming from the intellect of "false man, that is, coming from man living in the state of "separation and differences", of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as the "falsehood" of yourself, in denial of the "Truth of Yourself", that is, in denial that in truth "You and God within you" are One, that "You and Your Brothers and Sisters within you" are One, and that "You and the Creation of God", within God within you, are One. Amen. For in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. But Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about these 3 types of "False Charity", that is, about Charity of the intellect, about Charity of "separation and differences, about the Charity of "I and you", of "mine and yours", that is, the Charity of "I" giving Charity to "you", that is, the Charity of "self righteousness". For in truth Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) who is created by God, who has transcended being "a person", who has transcended what is created by your parents rolling around like snakes on a bed, who has transcended what has Now grown and come to maturity in all of My Children), which is Now "you", which is Now you having "become your parents", will laugh when hearing about this false Charity of the intellect, about this false Charity of "I and you", about this false Charity of "separation and differences", that is, about this false Charity of "self righteousness", and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" or "It is Charity without Wisdom" or "It is Charity without God" For in truth True Charity is viewing all life as your own, is viewing God as your only property or possession, is viewing all of God's Creations as "Your Duty", a Duty that Only God can do, by pulling all of His Creation back into Himself, from which they have all come. True Charity is viewing all of your brothers and sisters as Your Children, Children that you must Now raise by allowing them to Stand In "God's Presence" as "One with", not in "your presence" as "separate from", So God can "Cure Himself of you", So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, of sin, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of "self righteousness", on the illusory "outside" of yourself. That is, So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Discarding This Language of the Intellect, This ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion That is, True Man is Always discarding the 3 false meaning of Charity that in truth come from "the triple dirt of satan" within you, which in truth is "the satan" within you, and instead is Always Elevating the 1 true meaning of Charity that comes from the "Triple Flame" of God, which in truth is God within you. That is, True Man is Always discarding the "Meaning of Life" that comes from the intellect of "people", Rather than coming directly from God within you, for your age and life, that is, as the "Word of God" of the "Presence of God" for your age and life, as the True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and life, that is, Always discarding what comes from the intellect of the life of "separation and differences", the life of sin, the life of selfishness, the life of "self righteousness" that has Now grown and come to maturity within the heart of all of My Children. And in this way, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy For in truth among these different characters of life, that is, "True Man" or "false man", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is the most exalted, that is, among the characters of "false man" (arrogance, karma, illusion or the "triple dirt"), and of "True Man" (Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen or the "Triple Flame"), and among these different meanings of Charity, that is, "false charity" or "True Charity", that is, Charity coming from the "presence and word of man" or from the "Presence and Word of God", and among these different meanings of Life itself, that is, "false life" as "separate from" and "True Life" as "One with", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), and "True Charity", and "True Life" is the most exalted. And He Alone is on the Correct Path, He Alone is on the Correct Path of, Undiminishing Charity, And Plenitude of Heart. For Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, There is "No Word" Called "Charity" Because in truth All Life is His Own Life, because God is His Only Property or Possession, and God as "One with" is Only what He Gives or Offers at all times, as "God's Presence", not himself as "separate from", not himself as "his presence".. That is, True Man is Always giving or offering "God's Presence" as "One with" and "God's Words" of Truth, Never giving or offering "his own presence" as "separate from" or "his own words" of falsehood, having truly learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", from One Who Is "Truly Living As Such", that is, by Now Learning From One Who Has Learned, How To Truly Invoke the "Presence of God" before He "Says, Or Does, or Writes" Anything, as this child has Now learned to do. All of which for your age and for all of My Children, for all life, is Now "You", if you like, Is Now "You" as True Man for your age, for all life, if you like, is Now "You", "Saying the Word Bawa, The Name of Your Shaikh/Guru, With Faith and Trust In God, And In God Alone, Before You Do Anything" All of which in truth is what "We" told all of My Children To Do, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is what "We" are Again Telling all of My Children To Do, Now with "Us" living in the world as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. 4. Why Is There No Word Called "Charity" For True Man? Summary of Topic 04: Bawa. There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man because in truth True Man "Does Not Exist", because in truth for Him, "Only God Exists", that is, because True Man has learned How "Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", because True Man has "Settled into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", because True Man has become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" made flesh, because True Man has become the "Fire of God" Now burning in the world. Bawa. There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man because True Man is Always discarding the language of the intellect, that is, the ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion, including words like "Charity", and "Prayer", and "Goodness", and "Duty", which in the context of the world are always about "a person" working for wages to get into some illusory heaven, rather than about Joining In Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to move forward what God is doing. Bawa. And instead of all this "busy work" of mind and desire, True Man Uses Up His Life elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy, making himself available to God for what God is doing, which is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, rather than decorating with words like "Charity", or "Prayer", or "Goodness", or "Duty", what man in his ignorance, and now with his arrogance about his ignorance, thinks that he is doing in the world, which in truth is just "drama", the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", all of which are of no value to man or to anyone else, for in truth the only way to win the drama of your life, "Is Not To Play". Amen. Ok? Text of Topic 04: Now you will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Well Let "Me" tell you the following, Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity. All that are in the four lands. Come, let us eat well. Offer Charity for your own good" So they say. But those who know, those who are enlightened in kindness, those who are immersed in happiness, those who have melting hearts, those who understand the universe, those who glorify Allah saying "Al-hamdu lillah" (all praise and praising belongs to Allah and to Allah alone), and those who have Clarified Bliss, know this is not Charity. There is nothing (like this) in such Men. And if you intensely gaze at the Heart's Point you will see (that this is true), My Disciples, Gems of My Eyes. 5. The Meaning of "True Charity" - another view of "True Charity" Summary of Topic 05: Bawa. The Meaning of "True Charity" is God, is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. That is, the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How To Do This" from One who is Living as Such in Ones own lifetime, as this child learned to do, living as Such at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), before He left the world and went into the heart of all of His Children, living as Now God/Bawa within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, and for a little while living on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in order to help each of My Children To So The Same, before you die to the flesh, if you like. Amen. Text of Topic 05: Disciple: Swami, then what is True Charity? What is that which They Give. Please teach this to me in detail. Guru: Listen, I shall tell you the subtlety of this. God created Man. He created the totality of all other Creations for Man. God created the earth. In the earth, He created gold. In the earth filled with gold, He created the nine varieties of precious stones. He created the brilliant (stones). He created every variety of gems of priceless value. He created the sea, He created numerous things. He opened up places whose value is beyond comprehension. He created the mountains. Inside the mountains, He created innumerable gems and He kept them there. The forest, the mountain, the hill, the river, gold, property, the body, the life-force, the house, the threshold, the cattle, the calf, the storied-house, the Arsh (Throne of Allah), the Kursi (Eye of Wisdom), the Lauhul-Mahfuz (Divine Tablets), Kalam (pen), paradise, hell, and the fourteen worlds, all belong to the Immovable Graceful One. The Enlightened Ones or True Man burst into laughter if we offer something as Charity, because what right have we to claim anything, when man's life and body belong to Him? These True Mystics or True Man realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him. This is the Only True Charity, the One True Charitable State, that is, To Be One With God, To Be God 6. How Charity Is Now Being Practices In The World Summary of Topic 06: Bawa. The Charity That Is Now Being Practices In The World is the Charity that is coming from "the satan" within you, is Charity that is coming from the "form of the satan" within you, all of which in truth is Unkind Charity of the Closed Heart, that is, all of which in truth is just some variation of the Three Kinds of False Charity described earlier, that is, Charity of Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion, or Charity of Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure, that is, Charity of the "Triple Dirt". Bawa. A type of Charity that you, First as a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now if you like, as a Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that you should express contempt for, My Dearest Loving Children, if you are wise Text of Topic 06: Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure . There is no more sorrow. This is incomparable pleasure. Look! There is no heavy sorrow on my head" They say this repeatedly and feel comforted. Nevertheless, listen, Young Brothers. Forgetful of the Unknown Great All-Mighty Ruler they cheat other lives, reduce wages to the minimum, assault the poor, employ them till dawn and then chase them away at dawn. They take things with craftiness, sell at the bazaar, devalue the heart, make collections round the country, keep in hunger those whom they see or hear of, and those who work for them. They lend money on interest, procrastinate their time, cheat, insult, usurp to themselves the life-time earnings of the poor, harass them with acts of misdeeds, amass wealth in this manner, increasing their financial power and offer charity to the undeserving. This is unkind Charity. Do you observe this without any hesitation? You should express contempt for this type of Charity, My Son. It is in this manner that Charity is being practiced in this world. 7. How Charity Should Be Practices In The World Summary of Topic 07: Bawa. The Charity That Should Be Practices In The World is Charity that is coming from God within you, is Charity that is coming from the "Form of God" within you, all of which in truth is the One True Charity of the Opened Heart, a type of Charity that you, First as a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now if you like, as a Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), should embrace and learn to Truly Fall into as God's Charity, if you are wise. Bawa. So My Dearest Loving Children please give up all of your "false Charity", and learn to do this "True Charity" Now from One who is living in the world as "God's Charity", 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, in whom "We are well Pleased". That would Now be a good thing to do, for all of My Children. Amen. Text of Topic 07: But if a Human born as Human, regards other lives as His Own, and with happiness, sympathy, charity, submission, devotion, duty, patience, and tranquillity comes forward with purity of heart, there will be no poverty, no want, and no powerful people. A person who knows this will realize that everything belongs to Him, and that there is nothing of his own. Nothing at all! "Body, Property, and Life, All Three belong to Him, And there is nothing at all that is mine. O God, Gems of My Eyes, Give Us All Your Grace" "O Lord, My Ruler, Many Things that Belong to You Grow for the Redemption of all Your Things. I am Your Slave today and forever" So Saying, you must sing the praises of God, O Disciple, Gems of My Eyes. ============================================================== "Text Only" of "Expanded Version" - of Chapter 15 Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. Today "False Charity" is being classified as follows, from the mind or intellect of "false man": Charity Coming From Your Arrogance, Karma, & Illusion: 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title Charity Coming From Your Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure: 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, that is, Charity will have the three false meanings of Charity, as explained above, coming from the "Triple Dirt" of darkness and evil within you, that is, coming from the "form of the satan" within you, coming from "the satan' within you, not coming from the "Triple Flame" of God within you, that is, not coming from the "Form of God" within you, not coming from God within you. That is, not coming directly as the Qualities and Wisdom of a True Man, within God within you, as explained later in this discourse, but rather coming from the intellect of "false man, that is, coming from man living in the state of "separation and differences", of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as the "falsehood" of yourself, in denial of the "Truth of Yourself", that is, in denial that in truth "You and God within you" are One, that "You and Your Brothers and Sisters within you" are One, and that "You and the Creation of God", within God within you, are One. Amen. For in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. But Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about these 3 types of "False Charity", that is, about Charity of the intellect, about Charity of "separation and differences, about the Charity of "I and you", of "mine and yours", that is, the Charity of "I" giving Charity to "you", that is, the Charity of "self righteousness". For in truth Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) who is created by God, who has transcended being "a person", who has transcended what is created by your parents rolling around like snakes on a bed, who has transcended what has Now grown and come to maturity in all of My Children), which is Now "you", which is Now you having "become your parents", will laugh when hearing about this false Charity of the intellect, about this false Charity of "I and you", about this false Charity of "separation and differences", that is, about this false Charity of "self righteousness", and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" or "It is Charity without Wisdom" or "It is Charity without God" For in truth True Charity is viewing all life as your own, is viewing God as your only property or possession, is viewing all of God's Creations as "Your Duty", a Duty that Only God can do, by pulling all of His Creation back into Himself, from which they have all come. True Charity is viewing all of your brothers and sisters as Your Children, Children that you must Now raise by allowing them to Stand In "God's Presence" as "One with", not in "your presence" as "separate from", So God can "Cure Himself of you", So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, of sin, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of "self righteousness", on the illusory "outside" of yourself. That is, So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Discarding This Language of the Intellect, This ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion That is, True Man is Always discarding the 3 false meaning of Charity that in truth come from "the triple dirt of satan" within you, which in truth is "the satan" within you, and instead is Always Elevating the 1 true meaning of Charity that comes from the "Triple Flame" of God, which in truth is God within you. That is, True Man is Always discarding the "Meaning of Life" that comes from the intellect of "people", Rather than coming directly from God within you, for your age and life, that is, as the "Word of God" of the "Presence of God" for your age and life, as the True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and life, that is, Always discarding what comes from the intellect of the life of "separation and differences", the life of sin, the life of selfishness, the life of "self righteousness" that has Now grown and come to maturity within the heart of all of My Children. And in this way, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy For in truth among these different characters of life, that is, "True Man" or "false man", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is the most exalted, that is, among the characters of "false man" (arrogance, karma, illusion or the "triple dirt"), and of "True Man" (Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen or the "Triple Flame"), and among these different meanings of Charity, that is, "false charity" or "True Charity", that is, Charity coming from the "presence and word of man" or from the "Presence and Word of God", and among these different meanings of Life itself, that is, "false life" as "separate from" and "True Life" as "One with", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), and "True Charity", and "True Life" is the most exalted. And He Alone is on the Correct Path, He Alone is on the Correct Path of, Undiminishing Charity, And Plenitude of Heart. For Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, There is "No Word" Called "Charity" Because in truth All Life is His Own Life, because God is His Only Property or Possession, and God as "One with" is Only what He Gives or Offers at all times, as "God's Presence", not himself as "separate from", not himself as "his presence". That is, True Man is Always giving or offering "God's Presence" as "One with" and "God's Words" of Truth, Never giving or offering "his own presence" as "separate from" or "his own words" of falsehood, having truly learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", from One Who Is "Truly Living As Such", that is, by Now Learning From One Who Has Learned, How To Truly Invoke the "Presence of God" before He "Says, Or Does, or Writes" Anything, as this child has Now learned to do. All of which for your age and for all of My Children, for all life, is Now "You", if you like, Is Now "You" as True Man for your age, for all life, if you like, "Saying the Word Bawa, The Name of Your Shaikh/Guru, With Faith and Trust In God, And In God Alone, Before You Do Anything" All of which in truth is what "We" told all of My Children To Do, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is what "We" are Again Telling all of My Children To Do, Now with "Us" living in the world as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Now you will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Well Let "Me" tell you the following, Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity.

This is the Only True Charity, the One True Charitable State, that is, To Be One With God, To Be God Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure . There is no more sorrow. This is incomparable pleasure. Look! There is no heavy sorrow on my head" They say this repeatedly and feel comforted. Nevertheless, listen, Young Brothers. Forgetful of the Unknown Great All-Mighty Ruler they cheat other lives, reduce wages to the minimum, assault the poor, employ them till dawn and then chase them away at dawn. They take things with craftiness, sell at the bazaar, devalue the heart, make collections round the country, keep in hunger those whom they see or hear of, and those who work for them. They lend money on interest, procrastinate their time, cheat, insult, usurp to themselves the life-time earnings of the poor, harass them with acts of misdeeds, amass wealth in this manner, increasing their financial power and offer charity to the undeserving. This is unkind Charity. Do you observe this without any hesitation? You should express contempt for this type of Charity, My Son. It is in this manner that Charity is being practiced in this world. But if a Human born as Human, regards other lives as His Own, and with happiness, sympathy, charity, submission, devotion, duty, patience, and tranquillity comes forward with purity of heart, there will be no poverty, no want, and no powerful people. A person who knows this will realize that everything belongs to Him, and that there is nothing of his own. Nothing at all! "Body, Property, and Life, All Three Belong to Him, And there is Nothing at all that is mine. O God, Gem of My Eyes, Give Us All Your Grace" "O Lord, My Ruler, Many Things that Belong to You Grow for the Redemption of All Your Things. I am Your Slave Today and Forever" So Saying, you must sing the praises of God, O Disciple, Gems of My Eyes. ============================================================== "Original Version" of Chapter 15 His Holiness teaches His Children: Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. Today Charity is being classified as follows: The Meaning of "False Charity" 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, for in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. [Note: The 4th Meaning of "Charity", which is the Meaning of "True Charity", is explained later in this discourse, and is presented as a True Contrast to the 3 levels of "false Charity" explained above. To read this description of "True Charity" Now, please Click HERE, if you like, and then Jump Back to this spot in the discourse, if you like Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] O Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about this type of Charity. Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), who is created by God laughs and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is discarding this language (the ABC language of this world) and elevating God's Words of Truth with joy. Among these four characters (of arrogance, karma, illusion, & True Man), Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is the most exalted. He is on the Correct Path, with Undiminishing Charity and Plenitude of Heart. To Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), There is "No Word" Called "Charity" You will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Let "Me" tell you. Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity. All that are in the four lands. Come, let us eat well. Offer Charity for your own good" So they say. But those who know, those who are enlightened in kindness, those who are immersed in happiness, those who have melting hearts, those who understand the universe, those who glorify Allah saying "Al-hamdu lillah" (all praise and praising belongs to Allah and to Allah alone), and those who have Clarified Bliss, know this is not Charity. There is nothing (like this) in such Men. And if you intensely gaze at the Heart's Point you will see (that this is true), My Disciples, Gems of My Eyes. 4. The Meaning of "True Charity" Disciple: Swami, then what is True Charity? What is that which They Give. Please teach this to me in detail. Guru: Listen, I shall tell you the subtlety of this. God created Man. He created the totality of all other Creations for Man. God created the earth. In the earth, He created gold. In the earth filled with gold, He created the nine varieties of precious stones. He created the brilliant (stones). He created every variety of gems of priceless value. He created the sea, He created numerous things. He opened up places whose value is beyond comprehension. He created the mountains. Inside the mountains, He created innumerable gems and He kept them there. The forest, the mountain, the hill, the river, gold, property, the body, the life-force, the house, the threshold, the cattle, the calf, the storied-house, the Arsh (Throne of Allah), the Kursi (Eye of Wisdom), the Lauhul-Mahfuz (Divine Tablets), Kalam (pen), paradise, hell, and the fourteen worlds, all belong to the Immovable Graceful One. The Enlightened Ones burst into laughter if we offer something as Charity, because what right have we to claim anything, when man's life and body belong to Him? These True Mystics realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him. This is the fourth type of Charitable State. Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure . There is no more sorrow. This is incomparable pleasure. Look! There is no heavy sorrow on my head" They say this repeatedly and feel comforted. Nevertheless, listen, Young Brothers. Forgetful of the Unknown Great All-Mighty Ruler they cheat other lives, reduce wages to the minimum, assault the poor, employ them till dawn and then chase them away at dawn. They take things with craftiness, sell at the bazaar, devalue the heart, make collections round the country, keep in hunger those whom they see or hear of, and those who work for them. They lend money on interest, procrastinate their time, cheat, insult, usurp to themselves the life-time earnings of the poor, harass them with acts of misdeeds, amass wealth in this manner, increasing their financial power and offer charity to the undeserving. This is unkind Charity. Do you observe this without any hesitation? You should express contempt for this type of Charity, My Son. It is in this manner that Charity is being practiced in this world. But if a Human born as Human, regards other lives as His Own, and with happiness, sympathy, charity, submission, devotion, duty, patience, and tranquillity comes forward with purity of heart, there will be no poverty, no want, and no powerful people. A person who knows this will realize that everything belongs to Him, and that there is nothing of his own. Nothing at all!

O God, Gems of My Eyes, Give Us All Your Grace" "O Lord, My Ruler, Many Things that Belong to You Grow for the Redemption of all Your Things. I am Your Slave today and forever" So Saying, you must sing the praises of God, O Disciple, Gems of My Eyes. ============================================================== Closing Comments: Bawa.

Here is Page 1 of 1 of the E-mail Version of a "Beautiful Review" of Chapter 15, "Charity" (www.SpiritualBook002Chap15.homestead.com), in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom" (www.ThePearlOfWisdom.homestead.com), by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), for your reading and hopefully for your sharing enjoyment. Amen. Ok? Bawa. A beautiful Spiritual Letter to each of My Children, who in truth is My Dearest Loving Son or Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him, and with Us), if you like, that is, if you look through the eyes of your Shaikh, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which are the 99 wilayats or powers of God within you, that is, are the 99 beautiful names of God in the Asma'el Husna within you, which in truth are the windows of your heart, if you like, through which everything in the 18,000 Universes within you can Now be seen, and understood, again, if you like, but this time within you, for in truth the Choice is yours, not God's. That is, the Choice of whether any of "The Truth and Reality of You" happens within you, or not, in your lifetime. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, a beautiful Spiritual Letter from God within My Children to God within My Children, which in truth is everyone living in your age, if you like, that is, if your true intention for the life within you, that is, for your soul life, for your 6th life, for your Light Life within you, which is Jesus (peace be upon Him) within you, is to again become "One with" God within you, or at least to truly Start to, in partnership with God within you, before you die to the flesh. Bawa. And in this way, and only in this way, you can avoid the consequences of your current life of "selfishness" in the world, of "separation from", all of which in truth is an eternal life of hell within you, that is, an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, for in truth, "Hell Is Simply The Realization That you have "separated yourself" From God within you, Which in truth means that you have Separated "yourself " From "Yourself" within you, From Your Higher Self within you, If You Are Not Wise, If You Don't Again Become One With God within you, Before you die to the flesh, But this time with an Understanding Of Who "You Already Are", So "Your Oneness" will never leave you Again, Because in truth the Choice is yours, not God's" Bawa. All of which can only be avoided in your lifetime if you are wise, that is, if you wise up before it is too late, that is, if you Start to live as "One with" God, if you Start to demonstrate God to God within you, which in truth is the True Disciple, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. And that this child learned to do when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) was still living in the world, First on the "outside" of me and then within me, becoming "One with" the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), all of which all of My Children can still do, if you like, but Now by becoming "One with" the One True Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, by Now using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) As Now "Us" for My Children, as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like. Bawa. So in the End you don't get an eternal life within you as "separate from" God within you, which in truth is the true result of the "current life and state" of all of My Children, So in the End you don't get some illusory heaven on another "outside" of yourself, as My Children still mistakenly believe. Bawa. But instead, you become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, if you like, but this time with you doing it using Our Dearest Loving Son, and your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) as "Us", as Now your Father, your Shaikh, and your Guru, First on the "outside" of you as your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and then within you as "Us", as Now Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you. Bawa. And if you do, that is, if you truly learn How To Do this "Hearts Work" correctly, before you die to the flesh, or at least Truly Start to, then your soul life, which is Jesus (peace be upon), your 6th life within you, will "Become Free". Bawa. For in truth all that is Now Stopping "This Freedom of the soul", is "you", is Now your "current form and state", all of which in truth is Now "you" as "the form and state of the satan", which in truth is Now "you" as the "anti-christ", which is Now "you" as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, with the 5 nails of "your desire" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself as "separate from, that is, as a life of selfishness, of sin, of "separation and differences", that is, with "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which is "Just Not True". Bawa. And Only in this way will you truly become successful in your lifetime, My Dearest Loving Children, that is, Only in this way will "You" as "One with" Us, with "You" as "One with" God, will "You" as Jesus (A.S.) get off of Your Cross, by Letting "Us" destroy the "anti-christ", that is, by Letting "Us" destroy "you" as "separate from", and reveal "You" as "One with". Bawa. Only in this way will You Learn Again How To Live as God's Purity, joined as "One with" God's Consciousness, in search of God's Light, but this time for eternity, but this time with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", so it will never leave "You" again. Amen. Bawa. And in this way, this "Spiritual Letter 151" on the "True Meaning of Charity" is "A True Love Letter" to Our Dearest Loving Son and Daughter Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Now living at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, both within you and for a little while on the "outside" of you. Bawa. "A True Love Letter" To the "Inner Heart" and From the "Outer Heart" of all of My Children, that is, To your "Inner Heart" within you, which in truth is Now the True Fellowship within all of My Children, which in truth is Now "Us" living within "Your Wisdom", which in truth is Now "Us" living within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you. Bawa. And "A True Love Letter" From your "Outer Heart", for a little while on the "outside" of you, which in truth is Now the heart of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us), if you like, in whom "We are well pleased". Bawa. Therefore, "A True Love Letter" that you can Only Send To "Us", by you Now Learning How To Become "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, by you First Learning How To Become "One with" 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, because in truth, "What is Separating you from God, Is what is Separating you from each other, And what is Separating you from each other, Is what is Separating you from God" Amen. Bawa. And a beautiful Spiritual Letter which "We" have also given the following "Expanded Tilte", Expanded Title of Spiritual Letter 151 "Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You To Become "One With" Us Within You, In Order To Truly Become "One With" God Within You, In Order To Truly Understand "Who You Already Are", And "Where You Already Are", And "What Is Already Happening" In Your Life, While You Still Can, Before This Kind of Understanding Is No Longer Available To You, Because You Have Become What God Has Discarded From Himself, In Order To Become God Within You. That Is, To Truly Understand "What Can Truly Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Came Here From God Within You, And To Truly Understand "What Cannot Return To God Within You", Because It Is What Truly Grew Here, As The Lives of Darkness and Evil Within You, And Really Has No Interest In Returning To God Within You, No Matter What It Might Tell You To The Contrary. And To Truly Understand This Choice, And What Will Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which In Truth Is Only God Within You, And For A Little While God On The "Outside" of You, And What Won't Help You Make The Correct Choice, Which Is Everything Else, No Matter How It Is Currently Decorated On the Illusory "Outside" of You, And No Matter How it Currently Speaks To You As Your Thoughts Disguised As Wisdom. And Start To Understand Everything From God's Perspective As "One with" Everyone and Everything, As God Witnessing God Tell And Bring To Completion His Story Within Him For the Benefit of all of the Creation of God Within Him, And For a Little While On the "Outside" of You For The Benefit of Your Brothers and Sisters, As This Child Has Now Learned To Do. And Stop All of Your Current Activity Of Trying To Understand Everything From Your Prospective As "Separate From" Everyone and Everything, As "Your Story" On the "Outside" of You, For Your Benefit, Not For The Benefit of Anyone Or Anything Else. Amen. Ok?" Bawa. A Spiritual Letter from God within us all, to the Children of God for this age, which continues to "outline" for you what most of My Children are currently doing wrong, and how to correct their mistake using My Children, that is, using Those of My Children who have truly learned from "Us" how to do it right, that is, who have truly learned "How not to be there, So God can be there", So in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind" within you, that is, there will be nothing still "separating God" from God within you. Bawa. May God all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon all of My Children. May God help all of My Children. May God be pleased with all of My Children. Amen. Bawa. My love you - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Us, and with Him).

Understanding "True Charity" As A "Tree of Life" Summary of Topic 01: Bawa. "True Charity" in truth is God, is the "Form of God", First on the "outside" of you and then within you, as in truth for a little while, "True Charity" is the True Physical Guru/Shaikh on the "outside" of you, and Then is God within the True Guru/Shaikh within you, as a "Tree of Charity" that will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life, like a "Tree of Life" providing nourishment to a "dead tree", a "dead tree" which in truth is Now your "Current Life" as "separate from" on the illusory "outside" of yourself. Bawa. "True Charity" is "You" as this "Living Tree", this "Tree of Life", pouring water on the "dead tree" and helping it to grow Again, that is, to Again become "One with" God within you, "One with" your brothers and sisters, and "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, instead of "separate from", that is, Again "One with" which was your "Previous Life", and then through an Understanding of the Two, that is, through the True Contrast of "your current life" "separate from" and the life of your Physical Guru/Shaikh as "One with", to come to maturity Also as the "Tree of Life", First within you as the "Child of Light" within the "child of darkness", as our awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, and then on the "outside" of you, for a little while, as your "Next Life" as "One with", as the Physical Guru/Shaikh living in the world for those who have "yet to do this", who have yet to make this transition from "separate from" to "One with" in your own lifetime. Amen. Ok?. Bawa. And then as your "Next Life" as "One with", but Now with an Understanding of "Your Oneness", So you will never loose it Again, and doing all of this, at least truly Starting To Do It, Here and Now, that is, before you die to the flesh, all for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, not for you, for in truth Now, "you no longer exist" as "separate from", and doing it for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, also not for you, as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. But the world has forgotten all of this, this truth that "Man and God" are One, this truth that "You" and all of your brothers and sister are "One Life", the One Life Now of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, and this truth that "You" as this "One Life" are Now the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh, that "You" are Now the "Door and the Way", that "You" are Now the "Maliki yawmid-deen", the "Master of the Day of Judgment", literally the Judgment & Salvation, for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, that "You" are Now How God Pulls Everything back into Himself, from which Everything has come, So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God from God". Amen. Ok? Text of Topic 01: Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. 2. The Meanings of "False Charity" Summary of Topic 02: Bawa. The Meanings of "False Charity" in truth is "the satan" within you, is the "form of the satan" within you, that is, is Charity that is coming from the "Triple Dirt" of "the satan" within you, all of which in truth is "your" Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion within you, or your "Estimation, Imagination, and Pleasure" within you, all of which in truth is the "form of the satan" within you, Rather than coming from the "Triple Flame" of Allah within you, which is the Dhat, the Sirr, and the Sifat of God within you, which is the "Power within the Essence of Everything" within you, or "Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen" within you. Bawa. That is, Rather than coming from "The Holy Trinity" of God within you, from "The Father, The Sun, and the Holy Spirit" of God within you, all of which in truth is God within you, all of which in truth is the "Form of God" within you. Amen. Text of Topic 02: Today "False Charity" is being classified as follows, from the mind or intellect of "false man": Charity Coming From Your Arrogance, Karma, & Illusion: 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title Charity Coming From Your Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure: 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. 3. The Meaning of "True Charity" Summary of Topic 03: Bawa. The Meaning of "True Charity" is God, is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your own presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your own word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. That is, the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How To Do This" from One who is Living as Such in Ones own lifetime, as this child learned to do, living as Such at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), before He left the world and went into the heart of all of His Children, and is Now living as God/Bawa within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, and for a little while is Now living on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in order to help each of My Children To So The Same, before you die to the flesh, if you like. Amen. [Note: The 4th Meaning of "Charity", which is the Meaning of "True Charity", is further explained by Bawa later in this discourse, and is presented as a True Contrast to the 3 levels of "false Charity" explained earlier, under Topic 02. To read this description of "True Charity" Now, please Click HERE, if you like, and then Jump Back to this spot in the discourse, if you like Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] Text of Topic 03: Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, that is, Charity will have the three false meanings of Charity, as explained above, coming from the "Triple Dirt" of darkness and evil within you, that is, coming from the "form of the satan" within you, coming from "the satan' within you, not coming from the "Triple Flame" of God within you, that is, not coming from the "Form of God" within you, not coming from God within you. That is, not coming directly as the Qualities and Wisdom of a True Man, within God within you, as explained later in this discourse, but rather coming from the intellect of "false man, that is, coming from man living in the state of "separation and differences", of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as the "falsehood" of yourself, in denial of the "Truth of Yourself", that is, in denial that in truth "You and God within you" are One, that "You and Your Brothers and Sisters within you" are One, and that "You and the Creation of God", within God within you, are One. Amen. For in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. But Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about these 3 types of "False Charity", that is, about Charity of the intellect, about Charity of "separation and differences, about the Charity of "I and you", of "mine and yours", that is, the Charity of "I" giving Charity to "you", that is, the Charity of "self righteousness". For in truth Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) who is created by God, who has transcended being "a person", who has transcended what is created by your parents rolling around like snakes on a bed, who has transcended what has Now grown and come to maturity in all of My Children), which is Now "you", which is Now you having "become your parents", will laugh when hearing about this false Charity of the intellect, about this false Charity of "I and you", about this false Charity of "separation and differences", that is, about this false Charity of "self righteousness", and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" or "It is Charity without Wisdom" or "It is Charity without God" For in truth True Charity is viewing all life as your own, is viewing God as your only property or possession, is viewing all of God's Creations as "Your Duty", a Duty that Only God can do, by pulling all of His Creation back into Himself, from which they have all come. True Charity is viewing all of your brothers and sisters as Your Children, Children that you must Now raise by allowing them to Stand In "God's Presence" as "One with", not in "your presence" as "separate from", So God can "Cure Himself of you", So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, of sin, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of "self righteousness", on the illusory "outside" of yourself. That is, So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Discarding This Language of the Intellect, This ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion That is, True Man is Always discarding the 3 false meaning of Charity that in truth come from "the triple dirt of satan" within you, which in truth is "the satan" within you, and instead is Always Elevating the 1 true meaning of Charity that comes from the "Triple Flame" of God, which in truth is God within you. That is, True Man is Always discarding the "Meaning of Life" that comes from the intellect of "people", Rather than coming directly from God within you, for your age and life, that is, as the "Word of God" of the "Presence of God" for your age and life, as the True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and life, that is, Always discarding what comes from the intellect of the life of "separation and differences", the life of sin, the life of selfishness, the life of "self righteousness" that has Now grown and come to maturity within the heart of all of My Children. And in this way, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy For in truth among these different characters of life, that is, "True Man" or "false man", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is the most exalted, that is, among the characters of "false man" (arrogance, karma, illusion or the "triple dirt"), and of "True Man" (Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen or the "Triple Flame"), and among these different meanings of Charity, that is, "false charity" or "True Charity", that is, Charity coming from the "presence and word of man" or from the "Presence and Word of God", and among these different meanings of Life itself, that is, "false life" as "separate from" and "True Life" as "One with", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), and "True Charity", and "True Life" is the most exalted. And He Alone is on the Correct Path, He Alone is on the Correct Path of, Undiminishing Charity, And Plenitude of Heart. For Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, There is "No Word" Called "Charity" Because in truth All Life is His Own Life, because God is His Only Property or Possession, and God as "One with" is Only what He Gives or Offers at all times, as "God's Presence", not himself as "separate from", not himself as "his presence".. That is, True Man is Always giving or offering "God's Presence" as "One with" and "God's Words" of Truth, Never giving or offering "his own presence" as "separate from" or "his own words" of falsehood, having truly learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", from One Who Is "Truly Living As Such", that is, by Now Learning From One Who Has Learned, How To Truly Invoke the "Presence of God" before He "Says, Or Does, or Writes" Anything, as this child has Now learned to do. All of which for your age and for all of My Children, for all life, is Now "You", if you like, Is Now "You" as True Man for your age, for all life, if you like, is Now "You", "Saying the Word Bawa, The Name of Your Shaikh/Guru, With Faith and Trust In God, And In God Alone, Before You Do Anything" All of which in truth is what "We" told all of My Children To Do, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is what "We" are Again Telling all of My Children To Do, Now with "Us" living in the world as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. 4. Why Is There No Word Called "Charity" For True Man? Summary of Topic 04: Bawa. There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man because in truth True Man "Does Not Exist", because in truth for Him, "Only God Exists", that is, because True Man has learned How "Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", because True Man has "Settled into stillness through the realization that everything is perfect", because True Man has become the "Presence of God", and the "Word of God" made flesh, because True Man has become the "Fire of God" Now burning in the world. Bawa. There Is No Word Called "Charity" For True Man because True Man is Always discarding the language of the intellect, that is, the ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion, including words like "Charity", and "Prayer", and "Goodness", and "Duty", which in the context of the world are always about "a person" working for wages to get into some illusory heaven, rather than about Joining In Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to move forward what God is doing. Bawa. And instead of all this "busy work" of mind and desire, True Man Uses Up His Life elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy, making himself available to God for what God is doing, which is Revealing God to God, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, rather than decorating with words like "Charity", or "Prayer", or "Goodness", or "Duty", what man in his ignorance, and now with his arrogance about his ignorance, thinks that he is doing in the world, which in truth is just "drama", the drama of "I and you", of "mine and yours", all of which are of no value to man or to anyone else, for in truth the only way to win the drama of your life, "Is Not To Play". Amen. Ok? Text of Topic 04: Now you will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Well Let "Me" tell you the following, Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity. All that are in the four lands. Come, let us eat well. Offer Charity for your own good" So they say. But those who know, those who are enlightened in kindness, those who are immersed in happiness, those who have melting hearts, those who understand the universe, those who glorify Allah saying "Al-hamdu lillah" (all praise and praising belongs to Allah and to Allah alone), and those who have Clarified Bliss, know this is not Charity. There is nothing (like this) in such Men. And if you intensely gaze at the Heart's Point you will see (that this is true), My Disciples, Gems of My Eyes. 5. The Meaning of "True Charity" - another view of "True Charity" Summary of Topic 05: Bawa. The Meaning of "True Charity" is God, is the "Form of God" within you, that is, is "God's Presence" within you instead of "your presence" within you, is "God's Word" within you instead of "your word" within you, is the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", as this child has Now learned to do. Bawa. That is, the "State of One" who has Truly Learned "How To Do This" from One who is Living as Such in Ones own lifetime, as this child learned to do, living as Such at the feet of Our Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), before He left the world and went into the heart of all of His Children, living as Now God/Bawa within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within you, and for a little while living on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in order to help each of My Children To So The Same, before you die to the flesh, if you like. Amen. Text of Topic 05: Disciple: Swami, then what is True Charity? What is that which They Give. Please teach this to me in detail. Guru: Listen, I shall tell you the subtlety of this. God created Man. He created the totality of all other Creations for Man. God created the earth. In the earth, He created gold. In the earth filled with gold, He created the nine varieties of precious stones. He created the brilliant (stones). He created every variety of gems of priceless value. He created the sea, He created numerous things. He opened up places whose value is beyond comprehension. He created the mountains. Inside the mountains, He created innumerable gems and He kept them there. The forest, the mountain, the hill, the river, gold, property, the body, the life-force, the house, the threshold, the cattle, the calf, the storied-house, the Arsh (Throne of Allah), the Kursi (Eye of Wisdom), the Lauhul-Mahfuz (Divine Tablets), Kalam (pen), paradise, hell, and the fourteen worlds, all belong to the Immovable Graceful One. The Enlightened Ones or True Man burst into laughter if we offer something as Charity, because what right have we to claim anything, when man's life and body belong to Him? These True Mystics or True Man realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him. This is the Only True Charity, the One True Charitable State, that is, To Be One With God, To Be God 6. How Charity Is Now Being Practices In The World Summary of Topic 06: Bawa. The Charity That Is Now Being Practices In The World is the Charity that is coming from "the satan" within you, is Charity that is coming from the "form of the satan" within you, all of which in truth is Unkind Charity of the Closed Heart, that is, all of which in truth is just some variation of the Three Kinds of False Charity described earlier, that is, Charity of Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion, or Charity of Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure, that is, Charity of the "Triple Dirt". Bawa. A type of Charity that you, First as a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now if you like, as a Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that you should express contempt for, My Dearest Loving Children, if you are wise Text of Topic 06: Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure . There is no more sorrow. This is incomparable pleasure. Look! There is no heavy sorrow on my head" They say this repeatedly and feel comforted. Nevertheless, listen, Young Brothers. Forgetful of the Unknown Great All-Mighty Ruler they cheat other lives, reduce wages to the minimum, assault the poor, employ them till dawn and then chase them away at dawn. They take things with craftiness, sell at the bazaar, devalue the heart, make collections round the country, keep in hunger those whom they see or hear of, and those who work for them. They lend money on interest, procrastinate their time, cheat, insult, usurp to themselves the life-time earnings of the poor, harass them with acts of misdeeds, amass wealth in this manner, increasing their financial power and offer charity to the undeserving. This is unkind Charity. Do you observe this without any hesitation? You should express contempt for this type of Charity, My Son. It is in this manner that Charity is being practiced in this world. 7. How Charity Should Be Practices In The World Summary of Topic 07: Bawa. The Charity That Should Be Practices In The World is Charity that is coming from God within you, is Charity that is coming from the "Form of God" within you, all of which in truth is the One True Charity of the Opened Heart, a type of Charity that you, First as a Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now if you like, as a Child of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), should embrace and learn to Truly Fall into as God's Charity, if you are wise. Bawa. So My Dearest Loving Children please give up all of your "false Charity", and learn to do this "True Charity" Now from One who is living in the world as "God's Charity", 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, in whom "We are well Pleased". That would Now be a good thing to do, for all of My Children. Amen. Text of Topic 07: But if a Human born as Human, regards other lives as His Own, and with happiness, sympathy, charity, submission, devotion, duty, patience, and tranquillity comes forward with purity of heart, there will be no poverty, no want, and no powerful people. A person who knows this will realize that everything belongs to Him, and that there is nothing of his own. Nothing at all! "Body, Property, and Life, All Three belong to Him, And there is nothing at all that is mine. O God, Gems of My Eyes, Give Us All Your Grace" "O Lord, My Ruler, Many Things that Belong to You Grow for the Redemption of all Your Things. I am Your Slave today and forever" So Saying, you must sing the praises of God, O Disciple, Gems of My Eyes. ============================================================== "Text Only" of "Expanded Version" - of Chapter 15 Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. Today "False Charity" is being classified as follows, from the mind or intellect of "false man": Charity Coming From Your Arrogance, Karma, & Illusion: 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title Charity Coming From Your Estimation, Imagination, & Pleasure: 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, that is, Charity will have the three false meanings of Charity, as explained above, coming from the "Triple Dirt" of darkness and evil within you, that is, coming from the "form of the satan" within you, coming from "the satan' within you, not coming from the "Triple Flame" of God within you, that is, not coming from the "Form of God" within you, not coming from God within you. That is, not coming directly as the Qualities and Wisdom of a True Man, within God within you, as explained later in this discourse, but rather coming from the intellect of "false man, that is, coming from man living in the state of "separation and differences", of "I and you", of "mine and yours" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as the "falsehood" of yourself, in denial of the "Truth of Yourself", that is, in denial that in truth "You and God within you" are One, that "You and Your Brothers and Sisters within you" are One, and that "You and the Creation of God", within God within you, are One. Amen. For in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. But Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about these 3 types of "False Charity", that is, about Charity of the intellect, about Charity of "separation and differences, about the Charity of "I and you", of "mine and yours", that is, the Charity of "I" giving Charity to "you", that is, the Charity of "self righteousness". For in truth Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) who is created by God, who has transcended being "a person", who has transcended what is created by your parents rolling around like snakes on a bed, who has transcended what has Now grown and come to maturity in all of My Children), which is Now "you", which is Now you having "become your parents", will laugh when hearing about this false Charity of the intellect, about this false Charity of "I and you", about this false Charity of "separation and differences", that is, about this false Charity of "self righteousness", and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" or "It is Charity without Wisdom" or "It is Charity without God" For in truth True Charity is viewing all life as your own, is viewing God as your only property or possession, is viewing all of God's Creations as "Your Duty", a Duty that Only God can do, by pulling all of His Creation back into Himself, from which they have all come. True Charity is viewing all of your brothers and sisters as Your Children, Children that you must Now raise by allowing them to Stand In "God's Presence" as "One with", not in "your presence" as "separate from", So God can "Cure Himself of you", So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living a life of "separation and differences", a life of selfishness, of sin, a life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, a life of "self righteousness", on the illusory "outside" of yourself. That is, So God can Cure Himself of "you" Now living as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" your brothers and sisters, and as if you are "separate from" the Creation of God, within God within you, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Discarding This Language of the Intellect, This ABCD language of the world of mind and desire, of illusion That is, True Man is Always discarding the 3 false meaning of Charity that in truth come from "the triple dirt of satan" within you, which in truth is "the satan" within you, and instead is Always Elevating the 1 true meaning of Charity that comes from the "Triple Flame" of God, which in truth is God within you. That is, True Man is Always discarding the "Meaning of Life" that comes from the intellect of "people", Rather than coming directly from God within you, for your age and life, that is, as the "Word of God" of the "Presence of God" for your age and life, as the True Physical Guru/Shaikh for your age and life, that is, Always discarding what comes from the intellect of the life of "separation and differences", the life of sin, the life of selfishness, the life of "self righteousness" that has Now grown and come to maturity within the heart of all of My Children. And in this way, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is Always, Elevating God's "Words of Truth" with Joy For in truth among these different characters of life, that is, "True Man" or "false man", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is the most exalted, that is, among the characters of "false man" (arrogance, karma, illusion or the "triple dirt"), and of "True Man" (Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen or the "Triple Flame"), and among these different meanings of Charity, that is, "false charity" or "True Charity", that is, Charity coming from the "presence and word of man" or from the "Presence and Word of God", and among these different meanings of Life itself, that is, "false life" as "separate from" and "True Life" as "One with", True Man or Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), and "True Charity", and "True Life" is the most exalted. And He Alone is on the Correct Path, He Alone is on the Correct Path of, Undiminishing Charity, And Plenitude of Heart. For Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man, There is "No Word" Called "Charity" Because in truth All Life is His Own Life, because God is His Only Property or Possession, and God as "One with" is Only what He Gives or Offers at all times, as "God's Presence", not himself as "separate from", not himself as "his presence". That is, True Man is Always giving or offering "God's Presence" as "One with" and "God's Words" of Truth, Never giving or offering "his own presence" as "separate from" or "his own words" of falsehood, having truly learned "How Not To Be There, So God Can Be There", from One Who Is "Truly Living As Such", that is, by Now Learning From One Who Has Learned, How To Truly Invoke the "Presence of God" before He "Says, Or Does, or Writes" Anything, as this child has Now learned to do. All of which for your age and for all of My Children, for all life, is Now "You", if you like, Is Now "You" as True Man for your age, for all life, if you like, "Saying the Word Bawa, The Name of Your Shaikh/Guru, With Faith and Trust In God, And In God Alone, Before You Do Anything" All of which in truth is what "We" told all of My Children To Do, when "We" were living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is what "We" are Again Telling all of My Children To Do, Now with "Us" living in the world as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), First on the "outside" of you and then within you, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Now you will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Well Let "Me" tell you the following, Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity. All that are in the four lands. Come, let us eat well. Offer Charity for your own good" So they say. But those who know, those who are enlightened in kindness, those who are immersed in happiness, those who have melting hearts, those who understand the universe, those who glorify Allah saying "Al-hamdu lillah" (all praise and praising belongs to Allah and to Allah alone), and those who have Clarified Bliss, know this is not Charity. There is nothing (like this) in such Men. And if you intensely gaze at the Heart's Point you will see (that this is true), My Disciples, Gems of My Eyes. Disciple: Swami, then what is True Charity? What is that which They Give. Please teach this to me in detail. Guru: Listen, I shall tell you the subtlety of this. God created Man. He created the totality of all other Creations for Man. God created the earth. In the earth, He created gold. In the earth filled with gold, He created the nine varieties of precious stones. He created the brilliant (stones). He created every variety of gems of priceless value. He created the sea, He created numerous things. He opened up places whose value is beyond comprehension. He created the mountains. Inside the mountains, He created innumerable gems and He kept them there. The forest, the mountain, the hill, the river, gold, property, the body, the life-force, the house, the threshold, the cattle, the calf, the storied-house, the Arsh (Throne of Allah), the Kursi (Eye of Wisdom), the Lauhul-Mahfuz (Divine Tablets), Kalam (pen), paradise, hell, and the fourteen worlds, all belong to the Immovable Graceful One. The Enlightened Ones or True Man burst into laughter if we offer something as Charity, because what right have we to claim anything, when man's life and body belong to Him? These True Mystics or True Man realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him. This is the Only True Charity, the One True Charitable State, that is, To Be One With God, To Be God Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure . There is no more sorrow. This is incomparable pleasure. Look! There is no heavy sorrow on my head" They say this repeatedly and feel comforted. Nevertheless, listen, Young Brothers. Forgetful of the Unknown Great All-Mighty Ruler they cheat other lives, reduce wages to the minimum, assault the poor, employ them till dawn and then chase them away at dawn. They take things with craftiness, sell at the bazaar, devalue the heart, make collections round the country, keep in hunger those whom they see or hear of, and those who work for them. They lend money on interest, procrastinate their time, cheat, insult, usurp to themselves the life-time earnings of the poor, harass them with acts of misdeeds, amass wealth in this manner, increasing their financial power and offer charity to the undeserving. This is unkind Charity. Do you observe this without any hesitation? You should express contempt for this type of Charity, My Son. It is in this manner that Charity is being practiced in this world. But if a Human born as Human, regards other lives as His Own, and with happiness, sympathy, charity, submission, devotion, duty, patience, and tranquillity comes forward with purity of heart, there will be no poverty, no want, and no powerful people. A person who knows this will realize that everything belongs to Him, and that there is nothing of his own. Nothing at all! "Body, Property, and Life, All Three Belong to Him, And there is Nothing at all that is mine. O God, Gem of My Eyes, Give Us All Your Grace" "O Lord, My Ruler, Many Things that Belong to You Grow for the Redemption of All Your Things. I am Your Slave Today and Forever" So Saying, you must sing the praises of God, O Disciple, Gems of My Eyes. ============================================================== "Original Version" of Chapter 15 His Holiness teaches His Children: Disciple: Swami, glorious Guru, Dharma (Charity) is generally spoken of in the world. How many kinds of charity are there? Swami, please explain this to me. Guru: Son, listen. I shall tell you. Dharma (Charity) is a glorious thing. It is a living pulse for the bliss of Moksha (Ultimate Reality). Son, great men, ancient people, Nabis (Prophets), men of God's grace and even the Beloved Allah All Mighty, Himself have extolled the virtues of Dharma to the world. Charity is a gift to Him who is born as a Human. Great men have sworn that the tree of Charity will protect you from the difficulties and hardships of life like a tree providing nourishment to a dead tree, pouring water on it and helping it to grow again. But the world has forgotten this. Today Charity is being classified as follows: The Meaning of "False Charity" 1) Charity is performed to exhibit it to the world. 2) Charity is for self-acquirement, for one's own name, fame, glory, and title 3) Charity is performed with a melting heart of tranquillity and compassion, saying, "O God, I have nothing in my hand. O Compassionate One, Gem of My Eye, O God, Protect me!" Charity is fetching water in a brass vessel with eyes of compassion, smiling teeth, a face blooming like the white lotus flower and resonating with the words of grace to offer this water of Dharma, which at a draught will appease the body and mind. Charity is to worship the Incomparable One and to glorify Him with both hands raised, or sometimes reclining and performing the ritual prayer. This is the True Dharma. Son, gem of my eyes, Listen. Charity or an offering will be performed according to a man's reasoning power. In this way, Charity has Four Different Meanings to the Human created by God, for in truth those who are devoid of kindness, devoid of generosity, devoid of Charity, and who possess an unkind heart (which in truth is the "form of the satan") do not know how to give Charity. They think of Charity with the above 3 mentioned shades of meaning. [Note: The 4th Meaning of "Charity", which is the Meaning of "True Charity", is explained later in this discourse, and is presented as a True Contrast to the 3 levels of "false Charity" explained above. To read this description of "True Charity" Now, please Click HERE, if you like, and then Jump Back to this spot in the discourse, if you like Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen] O Son, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), even if He is blind in both His eyes, will laugh on hearing about this type of Charity. Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), who is created by God laughs and say, "It is Charity without Compassion" O dear Son, listen further, Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is, "Truth born as Human, Growing as Human, Knowing Himself" Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) is discarding this language (the ABC language of this world) and elevating God's Words of Truth with joy. Among these four characters (of arrogance, karma, illusion, & True Man), Manu-eesan (Man the Divine) or True Man is the most exalted. He is on the Correct Path, with Undiminishing Charity and Plenitude of Heart. To Manu-eesan (Man the Divine), There is "No Word" Called "Charity" You will ask "Me", "Why is there No Word called Charity for True Man?" Let "Me" tell you. Swamis, yogis, mystics, humans, kings, poets, professors, scholars, aalims, ulemas, masthans, and yet others, others who are with hearts of kindness and absorbed in grace will open their wondrous mouths and call, "Brothers, give us Charity. All that are in the four lands. Come, let us eat well. Offer Charity for your own good" So they say. But those who know, those who are enlightened in kindness, those who are immersed in happiness, those who have melting hearts, those who understand the universe, those who glorify Allah saying "Al-hamdu lillah" (all praise and praising belongs to Allah and to Allah alone), and those who have Clarified Bliss, know this is not Charity. There is nothing (like this) in such Men. And if you intensely gaze at the Heart's Point you will see (that this is true), My Disciples, Gems of My Eyes. 4. The Meaning of "True Charity" Disciple: Swami, then what is True Charity? What is that which They Give. Please teach this to me in detail. Guru: Listen, I shall tell you the subtlety of this.

These True Mystics realize that God is the Only Wealth, and the Possessor of the "One Thing". Those Soulful, Blissful, True Mystics keep Their Eyes Open day and night and weep in ecstasy. They are absorbed in Him. They are merged with Him. This is the fourth type of Charitable State. Soothsayers, not realizing themselves, unmindful of the future, and blissfully fulfilling their mind's decree, say with greed, "Ah! Ah! And Ka! Ka". My possessions, my house, my pleasure .
