Thank You Toronto For A Wonderful Visit - My love you (anbu), all of my dearest loving brothers and sisters from Toronto, your brother of the One Open Heart, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 3. Stop Fighting With Your Shaikh For Your Soul - instead join in partnership with your wisdom, and the truth of God within you, join in partnership with your Shaikh within you, and with God within Him, to liberate your soul from "you", from your life of "separation and differences", from "you" as "separate from" God, from "you" as the enemy of your soul 4. The Only Thing of Value That is Happening At the Fellowship - is Bawa Is curing Himself of "us", of each of "us", which He has given birth to within Himself as the "shadow of the Shaikh", as the "contrast" to the soul within us, to the "child of purity" within Him that each of us were before He grew the shadow of Himself, which is our current life, after we reached the age of 2, so we as the "child of purity" within Him could come to understand, through this contrast, "who we already are", and then through this understanding join with Him as our wisdom, to leave "here", before we die, in order to learn how to do duty "here" from "there", "here" from within our innermost hart, not "here" from "here", not "here" from our mind and desire, which each of us are currently mistakenly trying to do, with our brothers and sisters in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, a false duty which in truth is our karma, our fate, our false destiny, which will only lead us to hell, to an eternal life of "separation from" God 5. Learn To Get Past Your Mind By "Assuming The Sale" - by assuming the "presence of God" in your life before you set out to do anything, and by putting this "presence of God" in front of you before you do, say, intend, or step out to do anything, in this way, making "your work" to know "His work", which in truth is "all work" 6. Closing Comments & Prayer - Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar Text of Spiritual Letter: 1. Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 46 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). We had a wonderful time in Toronto, Canada, and had a amazing series of meetings from Wednesday February 19, when we first arrived by air from Philadelphia, through Thursday February 25, when we left by air to Philadelphia, a time span of 7 days that literally changed the lives of all of us, whether we were in Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington, or Baghdad, since in truth there is only One life. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. As beautifully described in Spiritual Letter 44, and Spiritual Letter 45, the purpose of the trip to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Toronto, Canada, was to understand the Final Destruction, and to take the first step on the journey of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (my God be pleased with Him) to Baghdad, the journey of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us, which is our wisdom, and the truth of God within our wisdom, which is our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to Baghdad within each of us, which is the palace of the soul, the house of wisdom within each of us, the house of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within each of us. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. And as a result of His first step Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) is now ready to take His second step on His journey within each of us, on this journey of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to Baghdad within each of us. And as some of us were physically needed in Toronto, Canada, for Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us to take His first step to Baghdad within each of us, in truth all of us gathered together in Toronto as One from February 19 through February 25. So too now some of us will be physically needed for Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to take His second step to Baghdad, so all of us in truth can again gather together as One in the second place, to allow the second step to occur within each of us. This is how in truth it must work, because in truth we are One, in truth there is only One life, One soul, One wisdom, and One God. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. And the role of each of us, in allowing Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us to take His second step to Baghdad within each of us, is for each of us to prostrate before Allah within us, to prostrate before the Formless One within us, as His slave, as the earth, fire, water, air, and ether did. And as Bawa teaches us, in this state, "To make God's intention our search." In this way, to look for how God as "One with" us wants to use our life, not how we as "separate from" God want to us it, to use the life that He created, not our mother and father, the life that belongs to Him, not to us, to look for how God wants to use our life to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within us, allowing True Man within us to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, allowing the "Oneness of God and True Man" to be revealed within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. And we do this Divine Work of God and True Man within us by allowing Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us, which is our wisdom, and the truth of God within our wisdom, which is our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to again enter Baghdad within each of us, as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (Ral.), establishing the Palace of the soul within us, the House of wisdom for this age within us, in order to complete God's intention for this age within us, in order to allow God to finish what God has started within each of us, within the Children of God for this age, which is to reveal God to God within us, by answering God's question of God within Anathi or the time of darkness within us, the time of lack of understanding within us, which is the state of our current life, by answering the question, "Who am I?" For as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us previously entered Baghdad within each of us, 1000 years ago, as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (Ral.), in order to usher in the age of "The Justice of Man" within us, which is when we all started to treat everyone as we would like ourselves to be treated, ushering in the age we now call "Democracy, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law", now at this time, in the year 2003 AD, it is again time for Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) to re-enter Baghdad, but this time in order to usher in the age of "The Justice of Conscience or Wisdom". Which is when we all start to view everyone as our own life, as within us, as the Creation of God within us, from which True Man within us must be revealed by True Man within us, by the Triple Flame of God within us, by allowing the Triple Flame of God within us to come to an understanding of the Triple Flame of God within us, in order to allow God within us to complete what He has started within us, in order to allow God to finish answering the question asked of God by God in Anathi within us, by answering the question, "Who am I? Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. And in this way, making us realize for the first time, without the slightest doubt, that the only point of our life, of any of our lives, is to get our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, to come out of our inner most heart, which is where They live within us as "One with", and come into our mind and desire, which is where "we" currently live within us, with our brothers and sisters as "separate from", and, as Bawa teaches us, ask Them to, "Teach us what we do not know." In order to destroy us, and reveal Him. In order to destroy us as "separate from" God, and God as "separate from" us, and reveal us as "One with" God, and God as "One with" us. In order to destroy our life of "separation and differences", that God has given us, and reveal our life of "Oneness and Unity", of "Justice and Truth", of "Compassion and Unity", that God has also given us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. In this way, and only in this way, to destroy our current life, the life that we are currently living within us, our current life of darkness, and to reveal our next life within us, our life of light, before we die, and before it is too late to do anything about it. To destroy our current life of darkness within us, the life which are we currently living within us, with our brothers and sisters within us, as lives of "separation and differences", as lives of "separation from" God, as lives of "separation from" each other, and as lives of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, that God has personally, and ever so lovingly, placed within each of us before we even came into this world, into this earth world, as lives of "separation and differences" that we are currently experiencing with our brother and sisters in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us, not as it really is, not as within us. And having realized this wisdom and truth of our lives, without the slightest doubt, to invite Them to destroy us "outside" of us, and to reveal Them within us, to destroy the illusory "one of us" on the "outside" of us, and to reveal the "Three of Us" as One within the "Three of God" within us, as the - Disciple, Shaikh, and God - within the Triple Flame of God within us, within - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen - within us, as the understanding of the Triple Flame of God within us. And in this way, to invite Them, to invite the "Three of God" within us, having come to an understanding of the Triple Flame of God within us, to pass judgment upon the lives of darkness that have grown within us, upon the lives of darkness within us that are now leading us as our karma, our fate, and our destiny, to the angel of death within us, to the suffering of the grave within us, to Qiyamah within us (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment within us), and eventually to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. This is the path of God within us that we must now follow, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, that leads to the liberation of our soul, and its eventual joining again as One with God within us, but this time with an understanding of "who it already is", so it will never leave that Oneness again, as beautifully explained to us by our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both "inside" and "outside" of us. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, this is the wisdom and truth of our lives, this is the work of our Shaikh within us, and of God within Him, that will make our life successful, that will allow our "wisdom to reason over our fate", before we die, not the work that "we" are currently trying to do with our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, not by "us", as "separate from" God, as "separate from" our brothers and sisters, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, "Trying to work for wages to get into heaven." For example, Bawa teaches us in the beautiful book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", and as reproduced as the "Quote of the Month" for January, in the 1998 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship Calendar, "We have to embrace that One God who is without form. That is the highest point of the Kalimah. Everything but Allah can be destroyed, only that Formless One is indestructible." "We must prostrate before Allah as His slaves and worship Him alone in the way the earth, fire, water, air, and ether did. We must accept our weaknesses, saying, "I am full of faults"." "Allah's beautiful qualities must come to bloom within our hearts, and that fragrance must emit a state of peace that will console all hearts." My dearest loving brothers and sisters, the purpose of this Spiritual Letter, of Spiritual Letter 46, "Stop Fighting With Your Shaikh For Your Soul", is to review the beautiful wisdom points and clarity that came out of our recent meeting of One in Toronto, Canada, from February 19 thru February 25, 2003, and to set the stage for a Second Meeting, in a Second Place, that now must occur within each of us, and also occur for some of us "outside" of us, in order to allow Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within each of us, to take His Second Step to Baghdad within each of us, while each of us joins with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to look for our correct role. And in this way, may we all join together as One within the heart of our Shaikh, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to plan this Second Place and Second Meeting, while each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), each of the Children of God for this age, "Makes God's intention our search". And please let us all know what comes out of your search within the One Heart of God for this age, which is the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) for this age, please let us all know, as this child, as your loving brothers Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), your loving brother of the One Heart of all of us, is letting you all know what has come out of his search, is letting you all know through this Spiritual Letter. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Finally, we start off this Spiritual Letter by first calling on Bawa within us, and on God within Him, to come out of our innermost heart within us, which is where They live as "One with" within us, and come into our mind and desire, which is where we currently live within us, with all of our brothers and sisters, as "separate from", in the illusory "outside" of us, and, "Teach us what we do not know". And this child has learned to do this, by reciting, The 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): "O Bawa, O God, You are Allah. "O Bawa, O God, There is nothing other than You." "O Bawa, O God, Without You there is no other help, because I do not exist." "O Bawa, O God, You are with me. Be inside my heart." "O Bawa, O God, Do not be separate from me." My dearest loving brothers and sisters, before we read this letter please join with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) to set our intention properly, to "intend as God intends", and to invite our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, into our life of "separation and differences", in order to destroy us, as "separate from" God, and reveal us as "One with" God, by, "Teaching us what we do not know". Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.

Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
