May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest brothers and sisters, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Outline for Spiritual Chat 21 - that is, its major topics are as follows: Text of Spiritual Chat 21 1. Introduction To Spiritual Chat 21 MuhaiyaddeenLB: Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum, my dearest sister Rumi. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Rumismith: Wa alaikum al-salam, dear Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. MuhaiyaddeenLB: We are in the process of sending you our last chat as an E-mail, Spiritual Chat 20 (which is not yet available on-line). It is a beautiful sharing which this child has been thinking about all day. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Rumismith: We are over at Fakhrurdeen's house. We went downstairs for a while. We were checking if you had send that beautiful sharing from last night. Yes, we too have been thinking about it all day. MuhaiyaddeenLB: How should we mail it to you, using AOL, Juno, or Netscape? Rumismith: Netscape please. Al hamdu lillah. So we can read it before going to bed. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Ok, we just mailed it to you, my dearest sister Rumi. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Rumismith: Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. What a grace indeed. Rumismith: Are you still watching Emperor Wang Guhn? [Note: the TV program "Emperor Wang Guhn" is a wonderful 1 hour program, which is on every night at 12 Mid Night, Monday through Friday, on Channel WYBE, the Philadelphia Public Television Channel. If you have cable it is on Channel 24. Emperor Wang Guhn was the one who unified the three kingdoms in Korea in 995 AD. It is a wonderful story about a young man who through his dedication to truth and honesty rises from obscurity within his country to lead it to a unified empire which included all of Korea ruled by law, and His personal justice, integrity, honesty, and loyality, an empire that lasted for 500 years, coming into existence a few years before the birth of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) in 1000 AD. The first son of Emperor Wang Guhn, who ruled the empire after Emperor Wang Guhn, was given name "Mu", as in Muhammad (Sal.), and Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)] MuhaiyaddeenLB: Yes, every night. Sometimes it feels that we have started to become Emperor Wang Guhn, but in this age. It is a wonder how in truth everything is One. Rumismith: Yes, we can understand that. We have not been able to watch for the last 3 weeks, but God willing we will watch this week. 2. The Return of Bawa To The World - but this time within His Children, as His Children, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children, that God has personally and lovingly placed within each of us, in all of the people living in the world today, in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the final gift from God for the Children of God for this age, which will liberate our soul from the cross of our elemental body, and return us to the Oneness of God and True Man within us, from which we have all come, if that be our intention, if we will but realize, understand, accept, and join with it, with this final gift from God. What more can God do for His Creation. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar MuhaiyaddeenLB: Nothing is as we think it is, and everything is as our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), has told us about it, and continues to tells us about it, if we will but ask. This is the great learning, to put down our way of thinking about things and of doing things and pick up His way of thinking and doing, as our way of thinking and doing. MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the life of this child now, spending more and more of my day with our Shaikh, and less and less of my day with anything else. It is as if my life is ending and His life in the world is beginning again, but this time within His Children, as His Children, not separate from them in any way. What a wonder. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Rumismith: "If we will but ask". Yes, that is the turning point. Yes indeed what a wonder. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And this experience is available to all of His children, if they will but pick it up, if they will but put down what they are now carrying, which is themselves as "separate from" God, as "separate from" their true Brothers and Sisters within them, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within them, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within them, before they came here. And in this way, if they will but view and begin to accept, perhaps for the first time, that what they are now carrying around as themselves, themselves as "separate from" everything, and as their brothers and sisters, as their friends and family, as "separate from" everything, is of no value to them, or to anyone else, in either this world or the next world, which could be very soon. And instead pick Him up within themselves, pick up the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) , within themselves, which in truth is themselves, as the true them, as "Them" as "One with" God within Them, as "One with" their true Brothers and Sisters within Them, and as "One with" the Creation of God within Them, as the "Good" part of them, the part that is hidden within them, the part that was hidden by God within the "bad" part of them, the part that is "One with" God within them. If they will but put down what they are doing, in the world that they in their ignorance still see as existing "outside" of them, as a life of "separation and differences" with their brothers and sisters, that they also still see in their ignorance as existing "outside" of them, and not yet see as truly existing within themselves, as the darkness of the world within them, the darkness that separates them from God within them. And instead pick up what He is doing within each of them, what Bawa is doing within them, which is joining with God within Him to reveal True Man within the Creation of God within them, and to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within them, revealing in this way, the Oneness of God and True Man within them, which in truth is God within us, within all of us. MuhaiyaddeenLB: My dearest loving sister Rumi, this is how Bawa enters the world again, 16 years after He left the world, as His Children, with Him as the Children of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the life and teaching of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the love and compassion of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the Oneness of True Man and God within His Children, with Him as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 3. The Final Explanation By God To The World - but this time with no veils, and everyone would hear it, everyone would understand it, and all that is left is, "Do they want it". Do they want a life of "separation from" God for eternity, the life that they in their ignorance have grown within themselves, and now see in their ignorance as existing "outside" of them, or do they want to return to an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within them, through the understanding that they have now received by the contrast between the "Oneness with" God within them, and the "separation from" God within them, from which we have all come. The choice is theirs, not God's, because God has given them both forms of life, both a life of "Oneness with" God within them, and a life of "separation from" God within them MuhaiyaddeenLB: Time for a short story? Rumismith: Yes please. MuhaiyaddeenLB: One day Bawa told us the following: "At the end of time, which is now, God would send One into the world who would explain to everyone again what had been given to the world before by all of the 124,000 prophets of God". "But this time without any veils." "This time everyone would hear it, everyone would understand it, and all that would be left is do they want it. Do they want a life of "separation from" God or a life of "Oneness with God"? My dearest loving sister Rumi, that is all that is left. For everyone living in this age to decide what they truly want. And that will be the end of it, as we are now experiencing it. And what comes next is either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God. There is no other choice. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And Bawa coming back into the world now, 16 years after He died, as His Children, with Him as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children, is what Bawa meant when He told us, "At the end of time, which is now, God would send One into the world who would explain to everyone again what had been given to the world before by all of the 124,000 prophets of God. But this time without any veils". What a wonder. We are all so blessed, my dearest loving sister Rumi. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And our work is to spread the word of this last coming of God into the world, this last gift of God to the Children of God for this age, by making ourselves available to Bawa within us, to spread the word. This is now the point of our life, not anything else, the point of each of the lives of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with each of Us), this making themselves available to God within them, this making themselves available to Bawa within them, to the Bawa within then that has now returned to the world within them, 16 years after He left the world within them and went into the innermost heart of all of His Children. This is now the only point of our life, this making ourselves available to Bawa within us, to the Bawa that has now returned to the world within each of His Children, from within their innermost heart or Qalb, to finish what God and True Man have started within each of us, which is to end this age of "separation and differences" within us, this age of us living in the world with our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, as the sifat or form of the dunya or earth world within us, as the "fellowship of the closed heart" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is but our mind and desire within us, is but the world of darkness within us. And to begin the next age of "Oneness with" God within us, the next age of us living in our heart with our Shaikh, with our True brothers and sisters within us, as the One soul or life within the innermost heart within us, as the grace, wisdom, and ilm or divine knowledge of akhirah, of the hereafter within us, as the "Fellowship of the Open Heart" within us, which in truth is our wisdom and truth within us, is our Shaikh within us and God within Him within us. And by making this choice clearly available to everyone living in this age. And we do this work, this Divine Work of God within us, by simply reminding them, by simply reminding everyone living in this age, about what they already have, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within them (may God be pleased with Him), by each of us, as the Children of God for this age, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), standing in the presence of God before them. In this way, now they have to decide, because of our presence before them, in the presence of God within us, as now each one of us must decide whether to stand in the presence of God before them, and in this way, now we all have to decide, between either "Oneness with" God or "separation from" God, either "God" or what "God has discarded". Such is the choice of each and every one living in this age, because we can't have both. And no choice is a choice, a choice for an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. May we all decide on God, on an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within us, and let God discard again what He has discarded before, but this time within each of us. Revealing in this way True Man within the Creation of God within us, revealing True Man within the sirr or secret of the dunya within us, within the essence of this earth world within us, within the Secret World of Allah within us, within the Secret World of Allah's essence within us, revealing True Man within the dhat of God within us, within the world of the Nur Muhammad within us, within the 7 heavens within us, which is the seed of Iman, the seed of True Man within us. And in this way revealing God within the Creation of True Man within us, revealing God within akhirah within us, the hereafter within us, revealing God within the Kingdom of God within us, the 8th heaven or firdaus within us, revealing God within the world of True Man within us, of Allah Muhammad within us, which is the seed of Islam, the seed of God within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 4. Give Up Our Understand of Him - so we can experience His understanding of Him, His understanding of the story of God within the story of True Man within us, and of the story of True Man within the story of God within us, then and only then, will we find peace in our life, within His peace within us Rumismith: Indeed, we are all so very blessed. We know that every word you say is absolutely true, God has given you this gift to put the wisdom into words, Ma sha a Allah. This child recognizes the truth, but is not able to put it into words. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Be careful saying it that way, because only God knows what He has in store for Rumi or for Louie, certainly not Rumi or Louie. Give up your own understanding for His understanding. Realize that this is why we were born, this is the point of our life, this is what is now happening in the world, this last gift of God to the Children of God for this age, this last opportunity by God for everyone living in this age, to decide on "God within them", by rejecting "Them living within the world", by rejecting "Them living in the world with their brothers and sister". MuhaiyaddeenLB: That is enough. Knowing what He is doing, and joining with it, but don't decide what He will use you for in accomplishing what He is doing. Leave that part up to Him, and make whatever comes to you as coming from Him, from Him to use you as He knows is best for you to be used, within what He is doing within you, and within all of us. 5. Learn to Use Your Wisdom, Which Is Your Shaikh Within You - to become the true slave of God within you, the slave of the Slave within you, and in this way, become truly free for the first time in your life, free within the love and compassion of God within you, allowing God to make your struggle His struggle, as you make His struggle your struggle, becoming in this way One with God as He has already become One with you, becoming the Oneness of God and True Man within us, within all of us, as our birthright, as our true heritage MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the true slave of God, the one who has surrendered not only his life but also his understanding and expectations to God, giving up any anticipation of how it will or should turn our, letting "how it turns out" being Ok, no matter what it is. That is Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God. Rumismith: What a gift, Al-hamdu lillah. We feel so nourished and comforted by these words of truth. MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the learning of this child, that we must become empty, and let God fill us, and then empty us again, letting what is within us go, and letting what is not within us come. Only in this way can God use us successfully, as His empty cup, that He fills and empties as necessary to complete what He is doing within us, within each and everyone of us. In this way, our joy, our peace comes from being used by Him, not from what He is using us to accomplish. MuhaiyaddeenLB: My love you, my sweet sister Rumi. May we both learn to live our lives in this way, as the true 'Abd, the true slave of God. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Enough? Rumismith: Yes, we got a taste of that joy and peace coming from being used by Him the last 3 weeks. In giving up 3 different plans for 3 weeks of vacation and letting unfold what His plan was and falling into it. Yes enough. Al-hamdu lillah. MuhaiyaddeenLB: 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. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Rumismith: Al-hamdu lillah. My love you (anbu) Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum, my dearest sister Rumi. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Rumismith: Wa alaikum al-salam, dear Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen. MuhaiyaddeenLB: We are in the process of sending you our last chat as an E-mail, Spiritual Chat 20 (which is not yet available on-line). It is a beautiful sharing which this child has been thinking about all day. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Rumismith: We are over at Fakhrurdeen's house. We went downstairs for a while.

Rumismith: Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. What a grace indeed. Rumismith: Are you still watching Emperor Wang Guhn? [Note: the TV program "Emperor Wang Guhn" is a wonderful 1 hour program, which is on every night at 12 Mid Night, Monday through Friday, on Channel WYBE, the Philadelphia Public Television Channel. If you have cable it is on Channel 24. Emperor Wang Guhn was the one who unified the three kingdoms in Korea in 995 AD.

The first son of Emperor Wang Guhn, who ruled the empire after Emperor Wang Guhn, was given name "Mu", as in Muhammad (Sal.), and Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)] MuhaiyaddeenLB: Yes, every night. Sometimes it feels that we have started to become Emperor Wang Guhn, but in this age. It is a wonder how in truth everything is One. Rumismith: Yes, we can understand that. We have not been able to watch for the last 3 weeks, but God willing we will watch this week. 2. The Return of Bawa To The World - but this time within His Children, as His Children, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children, that God has personally and lovingly placed within each of us, in all of the people living in the world today, in this age, in this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the final gift from God for the Children of God for this age, which will liberate our soul from the cross of our elemental body, and return us to the Oneness of God and True Man within us, from which we have all come, if that be our intention, if we will but realize, understand, accept, and join with it, with this final gift from God.

MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the life of this child now, spending more and more of my day with our Shaikh, and less and less of my day with anything else. It is as if my life is ending and His life in the world is beginning again, but this time within His Children, as His Children, not separate from them in any way. What a wonder. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Rumismith: "If we will but ask". Yes, that is the turning point. Yes indeed what a wonder. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And this experience is available to all of His children, if they will but pick it up, if they will but put down what they are now carrying, which is themselves as "separate from" God, as "separate from" their true Brothers and Sisters within them, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within them, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within them, before they came here.

And instead pick Him up within themselves, pick up the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) , within themselves, which in truth is themselves, as the true them, as "Them" as "One with" God within Them, as "One with" their true Brothers and Sisters within Them, and as "One with" the Creation of God within Them, as the "Good" part of them, the part that is hidden within them, the part that was hidden by God within the "bad" part of them, the part that is "One with" God within them. If they will but put down what they are doing, in the world that they in their ignorance still see as existing "outside" of them, as a life of "separation and differences" with their brothers and sisters, that they also still see in their ignorance as existing "outside" of them, and not yet see as truly existing within themselves, as the darkness of the world within them, the darkness that separates them from God within them.

MuhaiyaddeenLB: My dearest loving sister Rumi, this is how Bawa enters the world again, 16 years after He left the world, as His Children, with Him as the Children of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the life and teaching of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the love and compassion of God for this age within His Children, with Him as the Oneness of True Man and God within His Children, with Him as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 3. The Final Explanation By God To The World - but this time with no veils, and everyone would hear it, everyone would understand it, and all that is left is, "Do they want it". Do they want a life of "separation from" God for eternity, the life that they in their ignorance have grown within themselves, and now see in their ignorance as existing "outside" of them, or do they want to return to an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within them, through the understanding that they have now received by the contrast between the "Oneness with" God within them, and the "separation from" God within them, from which we have all come. The choice is theirs, not God's, because God has given them both forms of life, both a life of "Oneness with" God within them, and a life of "separation from" God within them MuhaiyaddeenLB: Time for a short story? Rumismith: Yes please. MuhaiyaddeenLB: One day Bawa told us the following: "At the end of time, which is now, God would send One into the world who would explain to everyone again what had been given to the world before by all of the 124,000 prophets of God". "But this time without any veils." "This time everyone would hear it, everyone would understand it, and all that would be left is do they want it. Do they want a life of "separation from" God or a life of "Oneness with God"? My dearest loving sister Rumi, that is all that is left. For everyone living in this age to decide what they truly want. And that will be the end of it, as we are now experiencing it. And what comes next is either an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God. There is no other choice. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And Bawa coming back into the world now, 16 years after He died, as His Children, with Him as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within His Children, is what Bawa meant when He told us, "At the end of time, which is now, God would send One into the world who would explain to everyone again what had been given to the world before by all of the 124,000 prophets of God. But this time without any veils". What a wonder. We are all so blessed, my dearest loving sister Rumi. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. MuhaiyaddeenLB: And our work is to spread the word of this last coming of God into the world, this last gift of God to the Children of God for this age, by making ourselves available to Bawa within us, to spread the word. This is now the point of our life, not anything else, the point of each of the lives of His Children, of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with each of Us), this making themselves available to God within them, this making themselves available to Bawa within them, to the Bawa within then that has now returned to the world within them, 16 years after He left the world within them and went into the innermost heart of all of His Children. This is now the only point of our life, this making ourselves available to Bawa within us, to the Bawa that has now returned to the world within each of His Children, from within their innermost heart or Qalb, to finish what God and True Man have started within each of us, which is to end this age of "separation and differences" within us, this age of us living in the world with our brothers and sisters on the "outside" of us, as the sifat or form of the dunya or earth world within us, as the "fellowship of the closed heart" on the "outside" of us, which in truth is but our mind and desire within us, is but the world of darkness within us. And to begin the next age of "Oneness with" God within us, the next age of us living in our heart with our Shaikh, with our True brothers and sisters within us, as the One soul or life within the innermost heart within us, as the grace, wisdom, and ilm or divine knowledge of akhirah, of the hereafter within us, as the "Fellowship of the Open Heart" within us, which in truth is our wisdom and truth within us, is our Shaikh within us and God within Him within us. And by making this choice clearly available to everyone living in this age. And we do this work, this Divine Work of God within us, by simply reminding them, by simply reminding everyone living in this age, about what they already have, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within them (may God be pleased with Him), by each of us, as the Children of God for this age, as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen within us (may God be pleased with Him), standing in the presence of God before them. In this way, now they have to decide, because of our presence before them, in the presence of God within us, as now each one of us must decide whether to stand in the presence of God before them, and in this way, now we all have to decide, between either "Oneness with" God or "separation from" God, either "God" or what "God has discarded". Such is the choice of each and every one living in this age, because we can't have both. And no choice is a choice, a choice for an eternal life of "separation from" God within us. May we all decide on God, on an eternal life of "Oneness with" God within us, and let God discard again what He has discarded before, but this time within each of us. Revealing in this way True Man within the Creation of God within us, revealing True Man within the sirr or secret of the dunya within us, within the essence of this earth world within us, within the Secret World of Allah within us, within the Secret World of Allah's essence within us, revealing True Man within the dhat of God within us, within the world of the Nur Muhammad within us, within the 7 heavens within us, which is the seed of Iman, the seed of True Man within us. And in this way revealing God within the Creation of True Man within us, revealing God within akhirah within us, the hereafter within us, revealing God within the Kingdom of God within us, the 8th heaven or firdaus within us, revealing God within the world of True Man within us, of Allah Muhammad within us, which is the seed of Islam, the seed of God within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 4. Give Up Our Understand of Him - so we can experience His understanding of Him, His understanding of the story of God within the story of True Man within us, and of the story of True Man within the story of God within us, then and only then, will we find peace in our life, within His peace within us Rumismith: Indeed, we are all so very blessed. We know that every word you say is absolutely true, God has given you this gift to put the wisdom into words, Ma sha a Allah. This child recognizes the truth, but is not able to put it into words. MuhaiyaddeenLB: Be careful saying it that way, because only God knows what He has in store for Rumi or for Louie, certainly not Rumi or Louie. Give up your own understanding for His understanding. Realize that this is why we were born, this is the point of our life, this is what is now happening in the world, this last gift of God to the Children of God for this age, this last opportunity by God for everyone living in this age, to decide on "God within them", by rejecting "Them living within the world", by rejecting "Them living in the world with their brothers and sister". MuhaiyaddeenLB: That is enough. Knowing what He is doing, and joining with it, but don't decide what He will use you for in accomplishing what He is doing. Leave that part up to Him, and make whatever comes to you as coming from Him, from Him to use you as He knows is best for you to be used, within what He is doing within you, and within all of us. 5. Learn to Use Your Wisdom, Which Is Your Shaikh Within You - to become the true slave of God within you, the slave of the Slave within you, and in this way, become truly free for the first time in your life, free within the love and compassion of God within you, allowing God to make your struggle His struggle, as you make His struggle your struggle, becoming in this way One with God as He has already become One with you, becoming the Oneness of God and True Man within us, within all of us, as our birthright, as our true heritage MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the true slave of God, the one who has surrendered not only his life but also his understanding and expectations to God, giving up any anticipation of how it will or should turn our, letting "how it turns out" being Ok, no matter what it is. That is Iman, or absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God. Rumismith: What a gift, Al-hamdu lillah. We feel so nourished and comforted by these words of truth. MuhaiyaddeenLB: This is the learning of this child, that we must become empty, and let God fill us, and then empty us again, letting what is within us go, and letting what is not within us come. Only in this way can God use us successfully, as His empty cup, that He fills and empties as necessary to complete what He is doing within us, within each and everyone of us. In this way, our joy, our peace comes from being used by Him, not from what He is using us to accomplish. MuhaiyaddeenLB: My love you, my sweet sister Rumi. May we both learn to live our lives in this way, as the true 'Abd, the true slave of God. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Enough? Rumismith: Yes, we got a taste of that joy and peace coming from being used by Him the last 3 weeks. In giving up 3 different plans for 3 weeks of vacation and letting unfold what His plan was and falling into it. Yes enough. Al-hamdu lillah. MuhaiyaddeenLB: 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. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). Rumismith: Al-hamdu lillah. My love you (anbu) Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen.
