Bawa. And then by You meeting "True Man" Again, but this time within you, this time as your "Wisdom within your Wisdom", that is, if you properly treat your Physical Guru/Shaikh as such, that is, as Now the "Presence of God" and as the "Word of God" made flesh for your age and for all life, as Now the "Fire of God" burning in the world. Bawa. That is, if you truly Learn From Him How To Truly disappear within Him, before He Leaves The Physical World", you will Again meeting "True Man", but this time within you, this time as your "Wisdom within your Wisdom", as the "Primal One" or "your Effulgence" within your soul, that is, as True Man within God within you, allowing "You Now As True Man" within God within you, to meet and become God within True Man, that is, as the "Resonance of Allah", that is, when the "Alif becomes the pillar of the Sukun of the Mim", allowing God to finish telling His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen. Ok? Bawa. For in truth Understanding Only Occurs through Contrast, and you must first become your Contrast, you must first become "false man", So your True Understanding can occur, that is, you must first become the opposite of "True Man", which is "false man", which in truth is the "current state and life and form" of all of My Children, if you like, that is, if you truly accept this "Pearl of Wisdom" and each of its Chapters as Now God "speaking to you", that is, as God Now speaking to the "wisdom surrounding your soul", awakening your wisdom, if you like, So your awakened wisdom Can Now do battle with the "Enemy of your soul", which is Now "you", Which is Now your Contrast, Which is Now you as "false man"..

His Holiness teaches His Children: Guru: Son, it is a very rare wonder for a man to be born wise. The Formless Lord, the Faultless King, the Greatest Creator, The Primordial, Compassionate One, the Effulgence that governs the several universes, was determined to create Man And Woman as Human. He Replaced Darkness With Grace and Converted The Four Purest Essences of Duty, Charity, Generosity, And Patience into The Four Elements. His Grace Of Light Made Bliss of Maya (the world of illusory pleasures), and Made The Incomparable Breath (heart-beat) The Temple Of The Kings Grace. The person who perform his duties conscientiously, with kindness and pleasure, become His Slave. He forget the world of joyful illusion, and is determined to live accepting God as the One and the Only One. With words of grace, and with eyes and mouth full of smiling happiness, he is advised by God at length, "O Son, Listen. You are going to leave this world of the devas (spiritual world)" and are about to enter the land of trick and illusion, "Mayaa-Jaalam" (city of magic), in the country of self-destructive possessive people". I am about to place this pure life inside an impure house. Be there in your "Mother's Womb". Be cautious and dumb in your "Mother's Womb" for ten months, according to God's bidding. In this way, be in protective custody. There you will learn the heavenly bliss and the tricks of mesmerism. There will be dirt everywhere. Wherever you look, you will see hell. What can be said of the dark-roomed prison? My Son, take care and escape. Thereafter, you will see the town of which I mentioned earlier. Here you will live for ten months learning the novelties of the place. Use the "Magic of Silence" in this mesmerizing self-destructive city full of many secrets, all of which you must master within this ten month period In this pleasurable city of "Mamakaram" (City of Possessiveness) you will find "Manu-neesan" (the non-human) eating with joy the fruit of the "Eddi" tree (the tree of poison) to his heart's content, and having poisoned himself thus, he stays in the jungle of the poisonous garden with the poison tormenting his entire body, and weakening him until he is withered with a dried-up tongue which oozes out blue saliva. His shrinking bowels send out a foul odor. This is the world of hell, My Son, all this Creation of man is ten and ten making a total of twenty months. Having been silent you must continue to be silent, absorbing the inner secret, that must continue to remain a secret within you. Only then will man in this world become human (when having been silent for 10 months in his mother's womb, he continues to be silent in the "Earth World" for 10 months, absorbing the inner secret, that must continue to remain a secret within you). In the self-destructive country there will be millions and millions (crores) of qualities which defy description and make it impossible for man the human to live there. You cannot bear it and you cannot see. There will be those who loiter there dangerously with no self-control from which you must try to escape cautiously. I shall tell you about some of the ways that man moves about on earth. I will give you something to be sold for a week at the market place of disheveled heads in the self-destructive country. Do not lose the stuff or waste the money realized from the sale. You must market it for a week, and sell it Yourself, and bring the profit to me If you gain a profit from this sale you will be able to stay in a palace for several weeks. It is very rare to attain this magnificent palace. It is also very rare for a person in the self-destructive country to every enter this palace. But Listen, I shall tell you. It is customary for me to give two things to those who visit this country. One is the "Earthen Pot" and another is the "Brass Vessel". At the time of the Creation of the soul (atma) these two vessels re shown. The soul (atma) is asked, "Which of these do you want? You are free to accept what you like" The soul (atma) replies, "O Father, My God, What are the attributes of these two? Please teach me, O Father" Thus the soul inquires from God. Listen. He says: Those who choose the earthen pot and go to the country of self-destructiion will be without food for the stomach, will be without clothes to wear, and will be without water to quench their thirst. They will have no house, no dwelling place, and no abode to live. They will get wet in the rain and scorched in the sun. They will wonder about in the market place of the self-destructive country, senseless, with fatigue and exhaustion. The inhabitants of the city of possessiveness (Mamakaram) in the self-destructive country will dance carrying symbols of the city of Mamakaram thinking that all that glitters is gold. They do not like those who choose the earthen pot, which they think is not worth a cent. They treat gold like sand, dispel duty, and destroy virtue. They will say, "Your earthen pot will break if you put it down. It will break if it falls down accidentally. It will get shattered into pieces and become pulp if a stone strikes it". The person who carries the earthen pot will undergo misery, be abused, and go to unnatural places. You will stand with your mouth shut and fold your hands. You will shed copious tears and your heart will weep. You will wander at this confusion worse confounded. But even at this stage, you must guard your pot very carefully. If you crack it, you will see the seventh house. Disciple: Swami, O Guru, what is the meaning of the seventh house? Where is it. Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, I have not finished "My" story, but I shall answer your question. Listen, Son. It is said that there are seven hells. It is the seventh hell which are intermingled within us. These seven hells are the seven evil qualities of desire for land, desire for women, desire for gold, arrogance, anger, "mine and "yours". They are known as the seven hells or "abans". These seven hells harm the borrowed house of man. If man can conquer and win victory over these seven evil qualities through his human qualities, he will gain the Eight Heavens. My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells. There is a big pond. If you want to build a bund for this pond you must estimate the quality of water in the pond. You must also estimate the amount of rain water that falls into the pond. These estimates must be done before the bund could be built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, listen Now. The life of a true man is like a heavy rainfall. The pond is the sharpness of his intellect. The bund is patience and forebearance. The one who has these qualities is the true man who will try to overcome the seven hells of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" These torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and try to destroy the bund. And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water which will constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. The bund of the pond is the virtuous wife of a married man who with her patience and calmness will tolerate the gushing waters of the pond and not permit the waves to rise. Such a women is a "Letchimi" of the world (Goddess of Prosperity). Her destined husband is the pond. The rain water will attempt to destroy the bund swelling up the miseries of the world. Mindful of these dangers she is like the bund using her patience and calmness to prevent the waters from rising high. She is the virtuous wife. Married life is said to be great, to voice one opinion. You must realize this. In the same way, if a man is to become a true man, he must build a bund of patience and calmness. His sharpness of intellect must be equal to the bund. His intellect and his body must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him like the rain in the pond. If he so conducts his life he will triumph over the seven evils (abans). He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. The duty of the person who chooses the earthen pot is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week. He has to sell it at the market place in the country of self-destruction and bring to me every cent of the sale. Then he can stay with me in this place for several thousands of years. He will have to stay only one week in the country of self-destruction but with me he can spend countless weeks. Be mindful of this. The special qualities of the earthen pot are poverty, illness, difficulties, sorrow, and lack of pleasure. However, whoever willingly and freely takes on this earthen Pot for a week will experience charity, compassion, generosity, virtue, truth, patience, duty, justice, human qualities, and fear of God. He will experience thoughts of death, softness of heart, flood of Compassion, and the Fear of Allahu-ta-aalaa, the Blissful One. His kindness will not deviate from your words even an iota day-in and day-out. His heart will be full of kindness and ever increasing Joy. He will find happiness even amidst sorrow. People will praise him and celebrate his glory. He will take his place in the palace of pearls (Manimadam). Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the country of self-destruction my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" which each man receives as the destiny written on his head. He who receives the earthen pot will reach paradise. He will be born as human, live as human, with human qualities. Such a person who has received the earthen pot will very, very rarely witness hell. There may be many who come to the state of yoga, and some will pronounce words of wisdom. The soul who chooses the brass vessel is born on the earth and enjoys life to the fullest. He sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. Where is stone? Where is God? He believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms impatience into wisdom and haste into to respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the country of self-destruction as his own and the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. Buy this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there such beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere else have I seen a place like this market of the self-destructive country. This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. It will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of brass. He says, "Look at this brass vessel. I shall drop it down. If it bends I shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the country of self-destruction is known to the self-realized man. Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, the pure life called the soul is shown the two types of circumstances that surround the two types of vessels in the country of self-destruction. All those who choose the brass vessel will perform ten times more the many actions mentioned above. Those who choose to enjoy for a week the worldly pleasures of money, property, possession, freedom, wife, child, calf, cow, house, high-storeys, studies, employment, respect, illusion, esteem, will at the end of it find they are afflicted by deep sorrow and ruinous hell There will be none even to inquire after them. The beautiful appearance of the shining brass vessel will lead them to this fate. But Son, it is very rare to be able to reach the palace of pearls (Manimadam). It is also very rare to receive the exalted foot of the King. The rare human" who achieves this state is called "Swamiyar". It is the "Swamiyar" who gains knowledge as pure effulgence, and wants only to keep his head beneath His glorious foot, saying, "You are the One I want". The rare human" who achieves this state is ordained to be a "Swamiyar" according to the fate written on his head. To find such a person, My Son, is a great rarity. Do you see, My Son, the secret characteristics of the four types of Swamis? Among these Swamis you must search for the Swami whose words are the great words of joyous grace. Know this My Disicple, Gems of My Eyes. End of The "Original Version - Only" of Chapter 17, "The Earthen Pot & the Brass Vessel" In the Book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" By His Holiness, M. R.

Also, Please Click Below on the "Topic Title" to read all of the "Plus Material" for that Topic by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). 10. God's Advice About Selling Your Life In The "Earth World" - and the Consequences of that, both for you and for "your children", that is, About You Selling Either Your Life As The "Earthen Pot" Or Your Life As The "Brass Vessel" in this "Earth World", which in truth means Selling God's Advice About How One Should Live in the "Earth World", that is, with you living Either as "your parents", Or with you living as Jesus (peace be upon Him), that is, with you living Either with "faith in Jesus (A.S.)" Or with you living with "The Faith of Jesus" (peace be upon Him). 11. The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund" - like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, are the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, the "form of the satan". That is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which are hidden or the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, the "Form of God". All of which acts like an the artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, that try to destroy the pond, like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires for maya or the illusory pleasures of your "outside" world But if the True Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes 12. The Duty & Reward of True Man In The World - of the One who Chooses the "Earthen Pot" over the "Brass Vessel", is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week, and during that time he must sell this "Way of life", this "Way of the Earthen Pot" in the "Market Place" of the world, and bring to "Me", to his God, that is, bring to his Guru/Shaikh/God, to his Triple Flame, every cent realized for its sale. And if he does this correctly before his time in the world is over then he can enter and take up his proper place in the "Palace of Pearls" for several thousands of years 13. The True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" - is the "Hell of the satan" in the "Earth World", that is, is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the Form of One who Continues to live in the "Earth World" with Faith and Trust in God, and Only in God, even after Again hearing directly from God about the True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel", and the True Consequences of Choosing One over the Other, and after hearing about what each will bring into Ones Life, which in truth is Choosing Either Me, Or "the satan". And in this way, the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, of One living in the "Earth World" who Lets God write "His Story" or "Awwal" on His head, by asking God To Place His Holy Foot on his Shinning Head, saying to God at that time, "O My God, You Alone Are Sufficient" 14. The True Creation of All Form Within You Is "Awwal" - that is, is God writing on your heart as "His Tablet", which in truth is God's Story within you, that is, is God surrounding your soul with true form and life within you, that is, with God Placing His Form and Life within it, allowing each Creation of God to be placed by God in their respective forms within God within you, that is, as the true form and life of the 6 kinds of life within you, that is, of earth-life, fire-life, water-life, air-life, ether-life, and Light Life. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like. That is, with Allah creating these forms within you and then placing in each form his "trust property" within you, which in truth is His Life within these forms. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like, that is, when you Choose and Accept the "True Destiny of your soul" within you, which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "Form of God" within you, that is, When you ask God to place His Holy Foot on your Shining Head, as Alone "Sufficient" for your life. 15. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" - is the Heaven of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", No Matter What, that is, No Matter What God tells and shows you to the Contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One, that is, the "Brass Vessel" is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, is the Life of True Man, of One Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. And Even After he has literally become the "form, state, and life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after he has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After realizing that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure.

God's Advice About Selling Your Life In The "Earth World", that is, About Selling Your Life Either as The "Earthen Pot" Or as The "Brass Vessel" in this "Earth World", which in truth means Selling God's Advice About How One Should live in the "Earth World", that is, with you living Either as "your parents", which in truth is the "form of the satan" in the world, Or with you living as Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth is the "Form of God" in the world, that is, with you living Either with "faith in Jesus (A.S.)" Or with you living with "The Faith of Jesus" (peace be upon Him). Bawa. And what each of My Children Now Chooses, that is, with you living Either as God, as the "Form of God" in the world, Or with you living as "the satan", as the "form of the satan" in the world, is the Life, the Form, that you will then try to sell to everyone else, including to "your children", transforming them into Either living as "God's Child" Or into living as "your child", for in truth, "What Destroys" The Children Of God In The World Is The "Hypocrisy Of The Parents" Bawa. That is, with "The Parents" saying one thing to "The Child", like, "I have faith and trust in God", but with "The Parents" always doing another thing, like you "Always Demonstrating to your child your faith and trust in the world". Expanded Version of Topic 10: Listen, I shall tell you. It is customary for "Me" to give "One of Two Things" to those who visit this "Earth World", that is, this City of Magic (Mayaa-Jaalam), this City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People. One is the "Earthen Pot" and the other is the "Brass Vessel". First, at the time of the Creation of the soul (atma) these two things are shown, and the soul is asked at that time, "Which of these do you want? You are free to accept what you like" And the soul replies, "O Father, My God, What are the attributes of these two? Please teach me, O Father" Thus the soul inquires from God. Listen. He says: Those who choose the "Earthen Pot", and go to the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, will be without food for the stomach, will be without clothes to wear, and will be without water to quench their thirst. They will have no house, no dwelling place, and no abode to live. They will get wet in the rain and scorched in the sun. They will wonder about in the market place of the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, senseless, with fatigue and exhaustion. The inhabitants of the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) in the City of Self-destructive People will dance carrying symbols of the City of Mamakaram thinking that all that glitters is gold. They do not like those who Choose the "Earthen Pot", which they think is not worth a cent. They treat gold like sand, dispel duty, and destroy virtue. They say, "Your "Earthen Pot" will break if you put it down. It will break if it falls down accidentally. It will get shattered into pieces and become pulp if a stone strikes it". The person who carries the "Earthen Pot" will undergo misery, be abused, and go to unnatural places. You will stand with your mouth shut and fold your hands. You will shed copious tears and your heart will weep. You will wander at this confusion worse confounded. But even at this stage, you must guard your pot very carefully. If you crack it, you will see the seventh house. Disciple: Swami, O Guru, what is the meaning of the seventh house? Where is it. Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, I have not finished "My" story, but I shall answer your question. Listen, Son. It is said that there are "seven hells". It is the "seven hells" which are intermingled within us. These "seven hells" are the seven evil qualities of desire for land, desire for women, desire for gold, arrogance, anger, "mine and "yours". They are known as the seven hells or "abans". These seven hells harm the "borrowed house" of man. If in his lifetime man can conquer and win victory over these seven evil qualities of "the satan" through his "Human Qualities" of God, He will gain the Eight Heavens.

The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund" - that is, like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, are the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, the "form of the satan", First within and Now on the "outside" of you. That is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which are hidden as the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, the "Form of God" for your life. All of which acts like an the artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, that try to destroy the pond, like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires for maya, for the illusory pleasures of your "outside" world But if the True Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this My Son, Gem of My Eyes Summary of Topic11: Bawa. The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund", that is, like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, as the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, as the "form of the satan" within you, all of which naturally grows in your "heart or mind or room" when you do 'Absolutely Nothing" with what God gave you, which is God within you, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. Amen. Ok? Bawa. But all of which can be truly Overcome in your lifetime when My Children truly Join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to Overcome your "current form" or "sifat" in your life, all of which is Now you living as the "form of the satan" within you, and with you Now lliving as "a person" and a "false fellowship" of '"like minded people" on the illusory "outside", by revealing your "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your lifetime, that is, HERE and NOW, if you like, that is, by you Now joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", as much as you can, whenever you can, So God can then, "Do Everything Else", to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure. Amen. Ok? Bawa. That is, In Order To Truly Overcome your "Current Life" by Revealing your "Next Life", in your own lifetime, if you like, that is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which in truth are hidden as the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, asthe "Form of God" hidden within the "form of the satan" within you, or the "Cause hidden within the Effect or Example" of you, for in truth such is the "True Beauty of Your Life", like the beautiful apple tree and its 1000 fruits all hidden within the one apple seed buried within the earth. Amen Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. . Bawa. All of which acts like an artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, and in this way, try to destroy the pond. Bawa. All of which is like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires, desires for maya which in truth are the illusory pleasures of your dream or your "outside" world, and his darkness of ignorance, and Now his arrogance about his ignorance, which even God cannot dispel, like rain clouds blocking the light of both the sun and the moon. Bawa. But if Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this My Son, Gem of My Eyes. Expanded Version of Topic 11: My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells, that is, by become a "True Man", by becoming a "True Human Being", that is, by joining in Partnership with God within you to support what "God is Already Doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you. And in this way, with you Now Joined as "One with" God within you to overcome what your own mind and body Now think they are doing, on the illusory "outside" of you, which is to continue to live a life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness and sin", a life of Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion, a life lived 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. Ok?. For example, there is a big pond, but it is always being destroyed, or overrun, by the rain water that naturally flows into it, during a heavy rain, and the pond cannot consistently and dependably provide water for the lives that are trying to live around it safely. What the pond needs is a "bund", or an artificial wall around the pond, that will protect the lives in and around the pond from the heavy rain waters, keeping within the pond the water that is needed, but letting out of the pond when needed the excess rain water that gushes into the pond, which can end up overflowing, and destroying the usefulness of the pond unless it is controlled wisely. And if you want to build such a "bund" for a pond, to protect the pond from being destroy, you must first estimate the quality of water in the pond, and the amount of rain water what will flow into the pond during a heavy rain. These estimates must be done before the "bund" is built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru O Son, listen Now. The "Life of a True Man" is like a "Heavy Rainfall" which creates "A Pond" and at the same time "Creates The Opportunity" for True Man, if you like, to "Do God's Selfless Duty", by providing the water from the "Pond" in a safe and measured way, that is, by building an appropriate "Bund" for the "Pond", which is an artificial mound of earth around the "Pond", which allows "The Pond" to take in and let out excess water safely, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God that live around, in, and near "The Pond". "The "Pond" in this analogy is the "Sharpness of True Man's Intellect and is Initially created and periodically threatened by the accumulation of the "Heavy Rainfall" is some "Low lying Area", which in truth is man's life in the "Earth World", also "The Pond" is made out of the 4 elements of earth, water, fire, and air, with the earth bearing the burden of the other three, that is, of the water, fire, and air. And "The Bund" in this analogy is God's Qualities, like Patience and Forbearance. The One who has these qualities is the "True Man" who will try to overcome the seven evils, or seven hells, of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" Those torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and in this way, try to destroy the "Bund" of "His Pond", of "His True Life", all of which in truth are the "Qualities of God". And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water in his life, coming as the thoughts of man's mind and the desires of man's body, which constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. Also, God has helped man in this effort in the following way, as "We" shared with My Children at the beginning of Chapter 17, "The Earthen Pot and The Brass Vessel", That is, God was determined to create man and woman as Human, that is, God was determined to create man and woman as a "Successful Pond and Bund", or a "Successful Intellect and Body", in order to produce a Safe and Useful Pond for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, So each of the Creation of God can make their way back into God, from which all of the Creation of God have come, and that is for sure, since in truth "There Is Nothing Other Than God", that is, So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen. Ok? So in creating man and woman, God Replaced Darkness With Grace, (Which is Iman or God's Belief in God) And God Converted The Four Purest Essences Of Duty, Charity, Generosity, And Patience Into The Four Elements, (Which is Jesus [A.S.] as The Crystal Heart or God's 6th level of wisdom) And With God's Grace Of Light God Made Bliss of The "Earth World" or Maya (Which is Muhammad [Sal.] as The Kingdom of God or God's 7th level of wisdom) And Made The Incomparable Breath (God breathing Out & Then In, Which is God Telling His Story, The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man") The Temple Of The Kings Grace (All of which in truth Is True Man as The Story of God, That is, As the Story of "God within True Man", Hidden Within The Story of "True Man within God", Both Making Up God's One Story, The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man") And from another perspective, the "Bund" of the "Pond" is the virtuous wife of a married man, or God's Qualities of patience and calmness in the life of One "Surrendered to the Will of Allah", Qualities which will tolerate the gushing waters in ones life, that is, gushing waters coming to the "Pond", to the "Sharpness of his Intellect", as his worldly thoughts and desires, Qualities which are the "Bund" of the "Pond" which will not permit ones thoughts and desires to rise up in excess in ones life, and destroy him, that is, destroy his ability to truly do "God's Selfless Duty" for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.. In this way, the "Sharpness of Intellect" which is the "Pond" of ones life, must be equal to the Qualities of ones life, which is the "Bund, in order for one to truly live as a "True Man", or as the "Earthen Pot", for the benefit of the Creation of God, within God within you.. Such a woman in a man's life is called a "Letchimi" or a Goddess of Prosperity, In the Hindu tradition, and is recognized as the Qualities of God in the Christian and Islamic tradition. In this way, the True Woman's or "Bund's destined True Husband is the "Pond" or the "Sharpness of Intellect. Such is the "True Husband and Wife" in all marriages, that is, the "Sharpness of Intellect" joined as "One with" with the Qualities of God. In this way, the "Rain Water" or "The 7 Hells" or "Excessive thoughts and desires" in ones life will always attempt to destroy the "Bund" of your "Pond", that is, will always attempt to destroy the "Qualities of God" destined as the "True Wife" of your "True Husband", that is, to destroy the "Qualities of God" destined as the "True Wife" of the "Sharpness of your Intellect", by always keeping you "separate from" God, that is, by always keeping your faith and trust focused on the "Earth World", all of which in truth is but an illusory world of "separation and differences", of "selfishness" or sin, seen on the "outside" of you. Rather than focused on God within you, and on what is "Wthin God" within you, and on what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. And in this way, all of My Children mistakenly keeping focused on maintaining yourself as "a person", and as a "false fellowship" of "like minded people" who talk and talk and talk about everyone and everything, including talking about God, but never truly joining in Partnership with God within you, that is, never trtuly becoming "One with" God within you, to literally let God "Become God" within you. Rather than "you" Correctly focused on "What God Is Doing" within you, with what is Now "Within God" within you, which is God Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, 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. Amen. Ok? In this way, if a man is to become a "True Man", he must build a "bund" of patience and calmness for his "pond", and to do this, the "Sharpness of his Intellect" must be equal to the task, that is, must be equal to this "bund" for his "pond", to these Qualities of God for his life. And in this way, his intellect or consciousness, which is his "Pond", and his qualities which is his body or Creation or his "Bund", must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions, which is his evil tendencies inherent in his life in the "Earth World", all of which will repeatedly try to overpower him like the rain water flooding into the pond. But if his faith and trust in God within him is strong, and if he so conducts his life with God's Qualities or his "Bund" of patience and forbearance joined as "One with" his "Sharpness of Intellect" or his "Pond" then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) inherent in his life in the world. He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. Original Version of Topic 11: My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells. There is a big pond. If you want to build a bund for this pond you must estimate the quality of water in the pond. You must also estimate the amount of rain water that falls into the pond. These estimates must be done before the bund could be built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, listen Now. The life of a true man is like a heavy rainfall. The pond is the sharpness of his intellect. The bund is patience and forebearance. The one who has these qualities is the true man who will try to overcome the seven hells of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" These torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and try to destroy the bund. And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water which will constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. The bund of the pond is the virtuous wife of a married man who with her patience and calmness will tolerate the gushing waters of the pond and not permit the waves to rise. Such a women is a "Letchimi" of the world (Goddess of Prosperity). Her destined husband is the pond. The rain water will attempt to destroy the bund swelling up the miseries of the world. Mindful of these dangers she is like the bund using her patience and calmness to prevent the waters from rising high. She is the virtuous wife. Married life is said to be great, to voice one opinion. You must realize this. In the same way, if a man is to become a true man, he must build a bund of patience and calmness. His sharpness of intellect must be equal to the bund. His intellect and his body must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him like the rain in the pond. If he so conducts his life he will triumph over the seven evils (abans). He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. 12. The Duty & Reward of True Man In The World - of the One who Chooses the "Earthen Pot" over the "Brass Vessel", is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week, and during that time he must sell this "Way of life", this "Way of the Earthen Pot" in the "Market Place" of the world, and bring to "Me", to his God, that is, bring to his Guru/Shaikh/God, to his Triple Flame, every cent realized for its sale.

He will have to stay only one week in the country of self-destruction but with me he can spend countless weeks. Be mindful of this. 13. The True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" - is the "Hell of the satan" in the "Earth World", that is, is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the Form of One who Continues to live in the "Earth World" with Faith and Trust in God, and Only in God, even after Again hearing directly from God about the True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel", and the True Consequences of Choosing One over the Other, and after hearing about what each will bring into Ones Life, which in truth is Choosing Either Me, Or "the satan". And in this way, the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, of One living in the "Earth World" who Lets God write "His Story" or "Awwal" on His head, by asking God To Place His Holy Foot on his Shinning Head, saying to God at that time, "O My God, You Alone Are Sufficient" Summary of Topic13: Bawa.

Bawa. That is, the Choice of One who while living in the "Earth World" Continues to Choose the "Form of God" in the "Earth World" which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "hell of the satan", Over the "form of the satan" in the "Earth World", which is the "Brass Vessel" or the "heaven of the satan". Bawa.

The True Creation of All Form Within You Is "Awwal" - that is, is God writing on your heart as "His Tablet", which in truth is God's Story within you, that is, is God surrounding your soul with true form and life within you, that is, with God Placing His Form and Life within it, allowing each Creation of God to be placed by God in their respective forms within God within you, that is, as the true form and life of the 6 kinds of life within you, that is, of earth-life, fire-life, water-life, air-life, ether-life, and Light Life. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like. That is, with Allah creating these forms within you and then placing in each form his "trust property" within you, which in truth is His Life within these forms. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like, that is, When you Choose and Accept the "True Destiny of your soul" within you, which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "Form of God" within you, that is, When you ask God to place His Holy Foot on your Shining Head, as Alone "Sufficient" for your life. Summary of Topic14: Bawa. The True Creation of All Form Within You Is "Awwal", that is, is God writing on your heart as "His Tablet", which in truth is God's Story within you, that is, is God surrounding your soul with true form and life within you, that is, with God Placing His Form and Life within it, allowing each Creation of God to be placed by God in their respective forms within God within you, that is, as the true form and life of the 6 kinds of life within you, that is, of earth-life, fire-life, water-life, air-life, ether-life, and Light Life.. Bawa. That is, with Allah creating these forms within you and then placing in each form his "trust property" within you, which in truth is His Life within these forms. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like, that is, When you Choose and Accept the "True Destiny of your soul" within you, which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "Form of God" within you, that is, When you ask God to place His Holy Foot on your Shining Head, as Alone "Sufficient" for your life. Bawa. That is, when you Choose and Accept the "Earthen Pot" within the "Brass Vessel" within you, Over the "Brass Vessel" Alone on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, Over the "form of the satan" within you, That is, Over the "form of the satan", First within you as the "very real but false" inside of you, and Now on the illusory "outside" of you, Now as "you" living as "a person", Now as "you" living as the "false fellowship". Bawa. All of which in truth is Now "your current false life" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". All of which is Now the "false destiny of your soul" within you, Now with your soul in its ignorance animating hell within you. Bawa. All of which in truth is Now how you are Now experiencing your life in the "Earth World", First within you as the "anti-christ", that is, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, which in truth is your elemental body, with His 5 Nails, which in truth is "your 5 desires" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself and sin. And all of which in truth is Now how you are experiencing your life on the "outside" of you, with "you" Now living as the "Enemy of your soul". Bawa. Rather than you Now living as Jesus (A.S.), that is, as your liberated soul joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom, that is, with your soul having come to an Understanding of Itself, Now Starting to live Again but this time by animating heaven within you, which in truth is the "Re-opened "World of souls" within you, as God is intending within you. Bawa. Please know this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, without the slightest doubt, and Escape from "your current life" of hell, that is, Use God To Escape into God within you. There is no other way to make it "Out of Here" Truly Alive, My Dearest Loving Children. That would be good. Amen. Ok? Expanded Version of Topic 14: Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say to God, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the "City of Magic" (Mayaa-Jaalam), that is, the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the "Country of Self-destructive Possessive People" my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" or "Of Creation", which each man receives as the "True Destiny of his soul", if you like, as written on your head by God, that is, if you Now Choose "To Accept" the "Earthen Pot" as "Who you are", as "Where you are", and as "What is truly happening" in you life, that is, "To Accept" the "Earthen Pot" as Now your "Next Life", Here and Now, which in truth is the "Re-opened World of souls" within you, all of which in truth is the "Form of God" within you. That is, by you Now Rejecting the "Brass Vessel" as Now as "Who you are", as "Where you are", and as "What is truly happening" in you life, that is, by you Now Rejecting your "current life", as in truth Now the "Enemy of your soul", as in truth Now the "anti-christ", as in truth Now the "form of the satan" within you, which in truth is Now the "Opened World of demons,World of jinns, and World of fairies within you, all of which in truth is the "form of the satan" within you. By you Now Joining in Partnership with God, that is, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God "Cure Himself of you", that is, to let God cure Himself of "you" living a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", of sin, on the illusory "outside" of yourself, 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". Amen. Ok? That is, by you Now Joining in Partnership with God, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", and then within you, as Now "Us" within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) with in you. That would be good. Amen. Ok? In this way, those of My Children who Now Accept and Receive this "Earthen Pot" as your Next Life, Here and Now, will reach paradise, First as the "Selfless Life" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in the "Body of Truth", which in truth is Now your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul, in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, and then as "True Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is', and then as True Man in the 5 lettered form of "Alhamd", that is, of Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl, which in truth is the Form of the Suratal Fatihah, and the Essence of the 28 letters that form the Mystical Body of man, all of which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok? He will become One born as Human, who lives as Human with Human Qualities, the Qualities of God, He will become One who is living as the "Pond" or the "Sharpness of his Intellect" joined with God, First on the "outside" of him, and then within him, that is, joined as "One with the Qualities and Actions of God", in order to overcome the 7 evils that naturally rise up from within this earth shirt for the soul, and yet still provide the grace, wisdom, and ilm of God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Such a person who has received the "Earthen Pot" will very, very rarely witness hell, and many who So receive the "Earthen Pot" will come to the state of "Yoga" in the Hindu tradition, or the state of "Haqiqat" in the Islamic tradition. And somewill come to the state of "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)", Now in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) tradition, which in truth was the "Potential" within all of My Children, that is, within all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, when "We" were still living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is Now Again the "Potential" within all of My Children, that is, within all of the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, while "We" is still living in the world as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Amen. Ok? Original Version of Topic 14: Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the country of self-destruction my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" which each man receives as the destiny written on his head. He who receives the earthen pot will reach paradise. He will be born as human, live as human, with human qualities. Such a person who has received the earthen pot will very, very rarely witness hell. There may be many who come to the state of yoga, and some will pronounce words of wisdom. 15. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" - is the Heaven of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", No Matter What, that is, No Matter What God tells and shows you to the Contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One, that is, the "Brass Vessel" is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, is the Life of True Man, of One Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. And Even After he has literally become the "form, state, and life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after he has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After realizing that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure. Summary of Topic 15: Bawa. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" is the "Heaven" of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", No Matter What, that is, who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" in the "Earth World" of God, that is, of True Man Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. Bawa. And Even After he has literally become the "Form, State, and Life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. Bawa. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after One has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After One realizes that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you , and that is for sure. Bawa. That is, even after he has Again heard and understood "The Truth of God" about the Nature of both the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot", while sitting at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, while sitting at the feet of the One who has truly become the "Earthen Pot" for your age and for all life, that is, who has become the Guru/Swami/God, or the "Triple Flame" of God, that is, the "True Gnana Guru" for his age and for his life, all of which is Now the "Form, State, and Life" of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok?. Bawa. Such is the Great Mystery of the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot" Created by God, and the life of One who Either Accepts Or Rejects the "Brass Vessel" upon hearing Again from God, about the True Nature of Both. Bawa. So please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, for in truth your "Form, State, and Life" for eternity within you depends on your Choice. And that is for sure. Amen. Ok? Expanded Version of Topic 15: Those who Continue to Choose the "Brass Vessel", even after you come and live in the "Earth World" for a while, and even after you Again hear God's Advice concerning the True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot", that is, that the "Brass Vessel" is the "form of the satan" in the "Earth World", is the "heaven of the satan" in the "Earth World", and that the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the "hell of the satan" in the "Earth World, will rarely, if ever Return to God, from which Everyone and Everything has come. For in truth, the soul who Continues to Chose the "Brass Vessel", even after you have been born, and raised in the "Earth World", and come to maturity in the "Earth World", and hears Again directly from God, Now as your True Guru/Shaikh in the "Earth World", Now as your "True Example" in the "Earth World" of One living as the "Earthen Pot", will "Reject" God's Final Advice, will "Reject" the "Earthen Pot", and Continue to enjoy life in this "Earth World" to the fullest, that is, as the "Brass Vessel", as the "form, state, and life" of "the satan", as the "heaven of the satan" in the "Earth World", and that is for sure. May God protect all of My Children from making this False Choice with what God has given each of My Children, that is, with God having given you Both, both the "Brass Vessel", which is the "person" living a life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness or sin", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as well as the "Earthen Pot" hidden within the "Brass Vessel", the "Earthen Pot" which is the True Human living a life of Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, of Compassion and Unity, First on the "outside" of you, at the foot of your Guru/Shaikh, that is, at the foot of "Your Example" of the "Earthen Pot", and then within you, as the "Palace of Pearls", as the "Palace of the soul", as the House of wisdom, as the "Presence of God", the "Word of God" made flesh, for you age and for all life. Amen. Ok? For in truth, one who has Chosen the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", which in truth is Choosing "the satan" Over God, which in truth is Choosing the "Form the satan" Over the "Form of God", which in truth is Choosing the "heaven of the satan" Over the "hell of the satan", while living in the "Earth World", enjoys this life in the "Earth World" to the fullest, that is, he sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. But if you so Choose, if you so live, then where is stone or rock (your faith in God)? Where is God (your house)? That is, where is your foundation, what can you Stand On in your life, that is, what will bring Stability and Security to your life, a Stability and Security that you can Count On, no Matter what happens, or comes in your life? For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told His Children, "I am your rock" to Stand On, which is "Your Faith In God", or your "Iman" in the Islamic Tradition. That is, where is "Your absolute faith, certitude, and determination" in God, that in truth, "There is Nothing Other Than God, You Are God", or "La illaha Ill Allahu" in the Islamic Tradition, that is, "The heart that knows that God Is One". In this way, one who places his faith and trust in the world, making his life in the world "his stone or rock", his faith or foundation, as "his god", as his house, then he believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms his impatience into wisdom, and his haste in respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the City of Magic (Mayaa-Jaalam), the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. By this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there any beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere have you seen a place like this market of the "Self-destructive Country". This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. With will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of "Brass". He says, "Look at this "Brass Vessel". I shall drop it down. If it bends Is shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the "Country of Self-destructive People" is known to the "Self-realized Man", the Secret which is "God's Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", like the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth, that in truth, "Man and God are One", that is, Man is within God, and God is within Man, that is, Man is God's Story, and God is Man's Story, and as such, "They are One". Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, within the "Earth World", the soul is Again shown by God the two types of circumstances, that is, the "Form, State, and Life" of God, and the "form, state, and life" of "the satan", that is, the circumstances around the two types of vessels in the "Earth World, or the "City of Self-destructive People". That is, allowing each soul in the "Earth World" to Either Choose the "Earthen Pot" of the Shaikh/Guru, or of "True Fellowship", that is, of "God-focused Children" who have Joined in True Partnership with God, that is, as "One with" God, So God can Finish Telling and Bringing To Completion His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, all of which in truth is First experienced as the "Body of Truth" for the soul, allowing the soul to animate the "Re-opened World of souls", or the 7 heavens, and then, as the Kingdom of God, or the 8th heaven, allowing the soul to animate God. Or to Choose the "Brass Vessel" of "the satan", of "self-focused people", who have joined in "false fellowship" with "like minded people" to talk, and talk, and talk about everyone and everything, including talking about God, but never to truly coming together in "True-Fellowship", as "One with" God within you, as "One with" your brothers and sisters, and as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, to "Become God". And in truth, all of My Children in truth are Now Truly Choosing the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", not by your words, but by "your actions", by How You Are Now Living In The World, as "separate from", which is "satan's way", Rather than as "One with", which is God's Way, and this is Now the truth of all of My Children, and that is for sure. What to do? But the "Earthen Pot" still lies hidden within you, within each of My Children, if you like, if You So Choose, just waiting to Germinate to "Your Truth", if you like, that is, to the truth that Now lies hidden within the "Brass Vessel" that is Now you, that is Now each of My Children, that is, Germinate to "Your Truth", that in truth "You and God" are One. So Now all of My Children Can So Choose, can Now Germinate to "Your Truth" because Only Now Can You So Choose, because Only Now Do You Have The Contrast, because Only Now "You Are The Contrast", So True Understanding of God's Advice Can Now Occur. That is, because Only Now Can you truly Choose between the "Earthen Pot and the Brass Vessel", because Only Now have you truly become the "Brass Vessel", have you truly become "your parents", have you truly become the "Enemy of the soul", have you truly become the "anti-christ", have you truly become the "child of darkness" covering the "Child of Light", all of which in truth is Now you living as the "Shadow or the Contrast of the Guru/Shaikh". And because Only Now are you truly sitting before the "Earthen Pot", which is the Light of God for the world, for your age and Now for all life, First as Your Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muthaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Please". So Only Now can you Make The Choice Offered to you earlier by God, First in the "World of souls", and Second in the "womb of your mother", and Now Third in the "Earth World", after you have come to maturity, after you have become "your parents", that is, the Choice between Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the Choice between Either God Or "the satan". So Now, if you like, Having Experienced The Contrast, of "you" and "Your Guru/Shaikh", that is, of "the satan" and of God, So you can Now Make Your Choice, that is, you can Now Choose between Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the Choice between Either God Or "the satan". And based on Your Choice, you can Either Germinate to "Your Truth", Or Not, and in truth "There Is No Other Choice", just between God and "the satan", Because in truth Everything Else that you may call "Your Choice" in truth is not really "a choice", but Rather is just "drama", that is, "the drama" of your current life of "separation and differences" in you "current life" of sin, of selfishness, and the only way to win "the drama" is "Not To Play". Period!!! So please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, for if you Choose Foolishly, then your life becomes like the life of the "apple seed" that Choose the life of the "apple seed" buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within them, and as "separate from" the One who Created the "apple seed", Over the life of the "apple tree", as "One with", that lives hidden within the "apple seed". And in this way, some apple seeds buried in thef earth fail to Germinate to "Its Truth", in its lifetime, and instead, gradually rot and die in the earth, only to take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the "Story of the Apple Tree", a Story that they came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if the apple seed likes, for like all people, the Choice is each apple seed's, not God's, as the Choice for each of My Children is "yours", not God's, that is, the Choice of How You Use Your Life, or not, that is, as God's Seed, revealing God's Tree, bearing God's Fruits, or not. So Please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, Please Choose God Over "you", by you Now Starting to Act as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Rather than you Continuing to Live 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". And Please do this Now, in your lifetime, by Now joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", as much as you can, whenever you can. That would be good, good for you, good for him, and good for "Us". Amen. Ok? Original Version of Topic 15: The soul who chooses the brass vessel is born on the earth and enjoys life to the fullest. He sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. Where is stone? Where is God? He believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms impatience into wisdom and haste into to respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the country of self-destruction as his own and the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. Buy this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there such beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere else have I seen a place like this market of the self-destructive country. This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. It will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of brass. He says, "Look at this brass vessel. I shall drop it down. If it bends I shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the country of self-destruction is known to the self-realized man. Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, the pure life called the soul is shown the two types of circumstances that surround the two types of vessels in the country of self-destruction.

His Holiness teaches His Children: Guru: Son, it is a very rare wonder for a man to be born wise. The Formless Lord, the Faultless King, the Greatest Creator, The Primordial, Compassionate One, the Effulgence that governs the several universes, was determined to create Man And Woman as Human. He Replaced Darkness With Grace and Converted The Four Purest Essences of Duty, Charity, Generosity, And Patience into The Four Elements. His Grace Of Light Made Bliss of Maya (the world of illusory pleasures), and Made The Incomparable Breath (heart-beat) The Temple Of The Kings Grace. The person who perform his duties conscientiously, with kindness and pleasure, become His Slave. He forget the world of joyful illusion, and is determined to live accepting God as the One and the Only One. With words of grace, and with eyes and mouth full of smiling happiness, he is advised by God at length, "O Son, Listen. You are going to leave this world of the devas (spiritual world)" and are about to enter the land of trick and illusion, "Mayaa-Jaalam" (city of magic), in the country of self-destructive possessive people". I am about to place this pure life inside an impure house. Be there in your "Mother's Womb". Be cautious and dumb in your "Mother's Womb" for ten months, according to God's bidding. In this way, be in protective custody. There you will learn the heavenly bliss and the tricks of mesmerism. There will be dirt everywhere. Wherever you look, you will see hell. What can be said of the dark-roomed prison? My Son, take care and escape. Thereafter, you will see the town of which I mentioned earlier. Here you will live for ten months learning the novelties of the place. Use the "Magic of Silence" in this mesmerizing self-destructive city full of many secrets, all of which you must master within this ten month period In this pleasurable city of "Mamakaram" (City of Possessiveness) you will find "Manu-neesan" (the non-human) eating with joy the fruit of the "Eddi" tree (the tree of poison) to his heart's content, and having poisoned himself thus, he stays in the jungle of the poisonous garden with the poison tormenting his entire body, and weakening him until he is withered with a dried-up tongue which oozes out blue saliva. His shrinking bowels send out a foul odor. This is the world of hell, My Son, all this Creation of man is ten and ten making a total of twenty months. Having been silent you must continue to be silent, absorbing the inner secret, that must continue to remain a secret within you. Only then will man in this world become human (when having been silent for 10 months in his mother's womb, he continues to be silent in the "Earth World" for 10 months, absorbing the inner secret, that must continue to remain a secret within you). In the self-destructive country there will be millions and millions (crores) of qualities which defy description and make it impossible for man the human to live there. You cannot bear it and you cannot see. There will be those who loiter there dangerously with no self-control from which you must try to escape cautiously. I shall tell you about some of the ways that man moves about on earth. I will give you something to be sold for a week at the market place of disheveled heads in the self-destructive country. Do not lose the stuff or waste the money realized from the sale. You must market it for a week, and sell it Yourself, and bring the profit to me If you gain a profit from this sale you will be able to stay in a palace for several weeks. It is very rare to attain this magnificent palace. It is also very rare for a person in the self-destructive country to every enter this palace. But Listen, I shall tell you. It is customary for me to give two things to those who visit this country. One is the "Earthen Pot" and another is the "Brass Vessel". At the time of the Creation of the soul (atma) these two vessels re shown. The soul (atma) is asked, "Which of these do you want? You are free to accept what you like" The soul (atma) replies, "O Father, My God, What are the attributes of these two? Please teach me, O Father" Thus the soul inquires from God. Listen. He says: Those who choose the earthen pot and go to the country of self-destructiion will be without food for the stomach, will be without clothes to wear, and will be without water to quench their thirst. They will have no house, no dwelling place, and no abode to live. They will get wet in the rain and scorched in the sun. They will wonder about in the market place of the self-destructive country, senseless, with fatigue and exhaustion. The inhabitants of the city of possessiveness (Mamakaram) in the self-destructive country will dance carrying symbols of the city of Mamakaram thinking that all that glitters is gold. They do not like those who choose the earthen pot, which they think is not worth a cent. They treat gold like sand, dispel duty, and destroy virtue. They will say, "Your earthen pot will break if you put it down. It will break if it falls down accidentally. It will get shattered into pieces and become pulp if a stone strikes it". The person who carries the earthen pot will undergo misery, be abused, and go to unnatural places. You will stand with your mouth shut and fold your hands. You will shed copious tears and your heart will weep. You will wander at this confusion worse confounded. But even at this stage, you must guard your pot very carefully. If you crack it, you will see the seventh house. Disciple: Swami, O Guru, what is the meaning of the seventh house? Where is it. Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, I have not finished "My" story, but I shall answer your question. Listen, Son. It is said that there are seven hells. It is the seventh hell which are intermingled within us. These seven hells are the seven evil qualities of desire for land, desire for women, desire for gold, arrogance, anger, "mine and "yours". They are known as the seven hells or "abans". These seven hells harm the borrowed house of man. If man can conquer and win victory over these seven evil qualities through his human qualities, he will gain the Eight Heavens. My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells. There is a big pond. If you want to build a bund for this pond you must estimate the quality of water in the pond. You must also estimate the amount of rain water that falls into the pond. These estimates must be done before the bund could be built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, listen Now. The life of a true man is like a heavy rainfall. The pond is the sharpness of his intellect. The bund is patience and forebearance. The one who has these qualities is the true man who will try to overcome the seven hells of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" These torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and try to destroy the bund. And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water which will constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. The bund of the pond is the virtuous wife of a married man who with her patience and calmness will tolerate the gushing waters of the pond and not permit the waves to rise. Such a women is a "Letchimi" of the world (Goddess of Prosperity). Her destined husband is the pond. The rain water will attempt to destroy the bund swelling up the miseries of the world. Mindful of these dangers she is like the bund using her patience and calmness to prevent the waters from rising high. She is the virtuous wife. Married life is said to be great, to voice one opinion. You must realize this. In the same way, if a man is to become a true man, he must build a bund of patience and calmness. His sharpness of intellect must be equal to the bund. His intellect and his body must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him like the rain in the pond. If he so conducts his life he will triumph over the seven evils (abans). He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. The duty of the person who chooses the earthen pot is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week. He has to sell it at the market place in the country of self-destruction and bring to me every cent of the sale. Then he can stay with me in this place for several thousands of years. He will have to stay only one week in the country of self-destruction but with me he can spend countless weeks. Be mindful of this. The special qualities of the earthen pot are poverty, illness, difficulties, sorrow, and lack of pleasure. However, whoever willingly and freely takes on this earthen Pot for a week will experience charity, compassion, generosity, virtue, truth, patience, duty, justice, human qualities, and fear of God. He will experience thoughts of death, softness of heart, flood of Compassion, and the Fear of Allahu-ta-aalaa, the Blissful One. His kindness will not deviate from your words even an iota day-in and day-out. His heart will be full of kindness and ever increasing Joy. He will find happiness even amidst sorrow. People will praise him and celebrate his glory. He will take his place in the palace of pearls (Manimadam). Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the country of self-destruction my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" which each man receives as the destiny written on his head. He who receives the earthen pot will reach paradise. He will be born as human, live as human, with human qualities. Such a person who has received the earthen pot will very, very rarely witness hell. There may be many who come to the state of yoga, and some will pronounce words of wisdom. The soul who chooses the brass vessel is born on the earth and enjoys life to the fullest. He sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. Where is stone? Where is God? He believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms impatience into wisdom and haste into to respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the country of self-destruction as his own and the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. Buy this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there such beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere else have I seen a place like this market of the self-destructive country. This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. It will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of brass. He says, "Look at this brass vessel. I shall drop it down. If it bends I shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the country of self-destruction is known to the self-realized man. Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, the pure life called the soul is shown the two types of circumstances that surround the two types of vessels in the country of self-destruction. All those who choose the brass vessel will perform ten times more the many actions mentioned above. Those who choose to enjoy for a week the worldly pleasures of money, property, possession, freedom, wife, child, calf, cow, house, high-storeys, studies, employment, respect, illusion, esteem, will at the end of it find they are afflicted by deep sorrow and ruinous hell There will be none even to inquire after them. The beautiful appearance of the shining brass vessel will lead them to this fate. But Son, it is very rare to be able to reach the palace of pearls (Manimadam). It is also very rare to receive the exalted foot of the King. The rare human" who achieves this state is called "Swamiyar". It is the "Swamiyar" who gains knowledge as pure effulgence, and wants only to keep his head beneath His glorious foot, saying, "You are the One I want". The rare human" who achieves this state is ordained to be a "Swamiyar" according to the fate written on his head. To find such a person, My Son, is a great rarity. Do you see, My Son, the secret characteristics of the four types of Swamis? Among these Swamis you must search for the Swami whose words are the great words of joyous grace. Know this My Disicple, Gems of My Eyes. End of The "Original Version - Only" of Chapter 17, "The Earthen Pot & the Brass Vessel" In the Book, "The Pearl of Wisdom" By His Holiness, M. R.

Also, Please Click Below on the "Topic Title" to read all of the "Plus Material" for that Topic by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). 10. God's Advice About Selling Your Life In The "Earth World" - and the Consequences of that, both for you and for "your children", that is, About You Selling Either Your Life As The "Earthen Pot" Or Your Life As The "Brass Vessel" in this "Earth World", which in truth means Selling God's Advice About How One Should Live in the "Earth World", that is, with you living Either as "your parents", Or with you living as Jesus (peace be upon Him), that is, with you living Either with "faith in Jesus (A.S.)" Or with you living with "The Faith of Jesus" (peace be upon Him). 11. The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund" - like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, are the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, the "form of the satan". That is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which are hidden or the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, the "Form of God". All of which acts like an the artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, that try to destroy the pond, like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires for maya or the illusory pleasures of your "outside" world But if the True Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes 12. The Duty & Reward of True Man In The World - of the One who Chooses the "Earthen Pot" over the "Brass Vessel", is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week, and during that time he must sell this "Way of life", this "Way of the Earthen Pot" in the "Market Place" of the world, and bring to "Me", to his God, that is, bring to his Guru/Shaikh/God, to his Triple Flame, every cent realized for its sale. And if he does this correctly before his time in the world is over then he can enter and take up his proper place in the "Palace of Pearls" for several thousands of years 13. The True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" - is the "Hell of the satan" in the "Earth World", that is, is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the Form of One who Continues to live in the "Earth World" with Faith and Trust in God, and Only in God, even after Again hearing directly from God about the True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel", and the True Consequences of Choosing One over the Other, and after hearing about what each will bring into Ones Life, which in truth is Choosing Either Me, Or "the satan". And in this way, the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, of One living in the "Earth World" who Lets God write "His Story" or "Awwal" on His head, by asking God To Place His Holy Foot on his Shinning Head, saying to God at that time, "O My God, You Alone Are Sufficient" 14. The True Creation of All Form Within You Is "Awwal" - that is, is God writing on your heart as "His Tablet", which in truth is God's Story within you, that is, is God surrounding your soul with true form and life within you, that is, with God Placing His Form and Life within it, allowing each Creation of God to be placed by God in their respective forms within God within you, that is, as the true form and life of the 6 kinds of life within you, that is, of earth-life, fire-life, water-life, air-life, ether-life, and Light Life. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like. That is, with Allah creating these forms within you and then placing in each form his "trust property" within you, which in truth is His Life within these forms. All of which takes shape around your soul within you, if you like, that is, when you Choose and Accept the "True Destiny of your soul" within you, which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "Form of God" within you, that is, When you ask God to place His Holy Foot on your Shining Head, as Alone "Sufficient" for your life. 15. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" - is the Heaven of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", No Matter What, that is, No Matter What God tells and shows you to the Contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One, that is, the "Brass Vessel" is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, is the Life of True Man, of One Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. And Even After he has literally become the "form, state, and life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after he has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After realizing that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure.

God's Advice About Selling Your Life In The "Earth World" - and the Consequences of that, both for you and for "your children", that is, About You Selling Either Your Life As The "Earthen Pot" Or Your Life As The "Brass Vessel" in this "Earth World", which in truth means Selling God's Advice About How One Should Live in the "Earth World", that is, with you living Either as "your parents", Or with you living as Jesus (peace be upon Him), that is, with you living Either with "faith in Jesus (A.S.)" Or with you living with "The Faith of Jesus" (peace be upon Him). Summary of Topic10: Bawa. God's Advice About Selling Your Life In The "Earth World", that is, About Selling Your Life Either as The "Earthen Pot" Or as The "Brass Vessel" in this "Earth World", which in truth means Selling God's Advice About How One Should live in the "Earth World", that is, with you living Either as "your parents", which in truth is the "form of the satan" in the world, Or with you living as Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth is the "Form of God" in the world, that is, with you living Either with "faith in Jesus (A.S.)"

And what each of My Children Now Chooses, that is, with you living Either as God, as the "Form of God" in the world, Or with you living as "the satan", as the "form of the satan" in the world, is the Life, the Form, that you will then try to sell to everyone else, including to "your children", transforming them into Either living as "God's Child" Or into living as "your child", for in truth, "What Destroys" The Children Of God In The World Is The "Hypocrisy Of The Parents" Bawa. That is, with "The Parents" saying one thing to "The Child", like, "I have faith and trust in God", but with "The Parents" always doing another thing, like you "Always Demonstrating to your child your faith and trust in the world". Expanded Version of Topic 10: Listen, I shall tell you. It is customary for "Me" to give "One of Two Things" to those who visit this "Earth World", that is, this City of Magic (Mayaa-Jaalam), this City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People. One is the "Earthen Pot" and the other is the "Brass Vessel". First, at the time of the Creation of the soul (atma) these two things are shown, and the soul is asked at that time, "Which of these do you want? You are free to accept what you like" And the soul replies, "O Father, My God, What are the attributes of these two? Please teach me, O Father" Thus the soul inquires from God. Listen. He says: Those who choose the "Earthen Pot", and go to the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, will be without food for the stomach, will be without clothes to wear, and will be without water to quench their thirst. They will have no house, no dwelling place, and no abode to live. They will get wet in the rain and scorched in the sun. They will wonder about in the market place of the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, senseless, with fatigue and exhaustion. The inhabitants of the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) in the City of Self-destructive People will dance carrying symbols of the City of Mamakaram thinking that all that glitters is gold. They do not like those who Choose the "Earthen Pot", which they think is not worth a cent. They treat gold like sand, dispel duty, and destroy virtue. They say, "Your "Earthen Pot" will break if you put it down. It will break if it falls down accidentally. It will get shattered into pieces and become pulp if a stone strikes it". The person who carries the "Earthen Pot" will undergo misery, be abused, and go to unnatural places. You will stand with your mouth shut and fold your hands. You will shed copious tears and your heart will weep. You will wander at this confusion worse confounded. But even at this stage, you must guard your pot very carefully. If you crack it, you will see the seventh house. Disciple: Swami, O Guru, what is the meaning of the seventh house? Where is it. Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, I have not finished "My" story, but I shall answer your question. Listen, Son. It is said that there are "seven hells". It is the "seven hells" which are intermingled within us. These "seven hells" are the seven evil qualities of desire for land, desire for women, desire for gold, arrogance, anger, "mine and "yours". They are known as the seven hells or "abans". These seven hells harm the "borrowed house" of man. If in his lifetime man can conquer and win victory over these seven evil qualities of "the satan" through his "Human Qualities" of God, He will gain the Eight Heavens. Original Version of Topic 10: But Listen, I shall tell you. It is customary for me to give two things to those who visit this country. One is the "Earthen Pot" and another is the "Brass Vessel". At the time of the Creation of the soul (atma) these two vessels re shown. The soul (atma) is asked, "Which of these do you want? You are free to accept what you like" The soul (atma) replies, "O Father, My God, What are the attributes of these two? Please teach me, O Father" Thus the soul inquires from God. Listen.

The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund" - that is, like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, are the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, the "form of the satan", First within and Now on the "outside" of you. That is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which are hidden as the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, the "Form of God" for your life. All of which acts like an the artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, that try to destroy the pond, like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires for maya, for the illusory pleasures of your "outside" world But if the True Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this My Son, Gem of My Eyes Summary of Topic11: Bawa. The Life of True Man Is Like A "Pond" With A "Bund", that is, like a "Heavy Rainfall", and this is the "Subtle Way To Overcome The 7 Hells", which are inherent in your life, that is, as the "current form" or "sifat" in your life, that is, as the "form of the satan" within you, all of which naturally grows in your "heart or mind or room" when you do 'Absolutely Nothing" with what God gave you, which is God within you, and what is "Within God" within you, and what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. Amen. Ok? Bawa. But all of which can be truly Overcome in your lifetime when My Children truly Join in Partnership with God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, that is, to Overcome your "current form" or "sifat" in your life, all of which is Now you living as the "form of the satan" within you, and with you Now lliving as "a person" and a "false fellowship" of '"like minded people" on the illusory "outside", by revealing your "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your lifetime, that is, HERE and NOW, if you like, that is, by you Now joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", as much as you can, whenever you can, So God can then, "Do Everything Else", to make your life truly successful in your lifetime, and that is for sure. Amen. Ok? Bawa. That is, In Order To Truly Overcome your "Current Life" by Revealing your "Next Life", in your own lifetime, if you like, that is, when the "Sharpness of your Intellect, which is your "Pond", Joins as "One with" God's Qualities of Patience and Forbearance, which is your "Bund", all which in truth are hidden as the "Secret" or the "Next Form" or "Sifat" in your life, that is, asthe "Form of God" hidden within the "form of the satan" within you, or the "Cause hidden within the Effect or Example" of you, for in truth such is the "True Beauty of Your Life", like the beautiful apple tree and its 1000 fruits all hidden within the one apple seed buried within the earth. Amen Bawa. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen. . Bawa. All of which acts like an artificial wall build around the pond, like a virtuous wife to a man, in order to overcome the gushing rain waters that naturally flow into a pond from above, when it rains, and in this way, try to destroy the pond. Bawa. All of which is like the 7 hells flowing into a man's life from above his mind, that is, flowing in from any higher place than the pond, like from his mind as thoughts and from his body as desires, desires for maya which in truth are the illusory pleasures of your dream or your "outside" world, and his darkness of ignorance, and Now his arrogance about his ignorance, which even God cannot dispel, like rain clouds blocking the light of both the sun and the moon. Bawa. But if Man learns How To properly conducts his life using both his intellect (the pond) and his "Light Body" (the bund) to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him, like the rain water flowing into the pond, like his thoughts and his desires of his "dark body", then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) through his Human Qualities, and his life will be victorious. He is the "Real Male". Know this My Son, Gem of My Eyes. Expanded Version of Topic 11: My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells, that is, by become a "True Man", by becoming a "True Human Being", that is, by joining in Partnership with God within you to support what "God is Already Doing" within you, with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you. And in this way, with you Now Joined as "One with" God within you to overcome what your own mind and body Now think they are doing, on the illusory "outside" of you, which is to continue to live a life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness and sin", a life of Arrogance, Karma, and Illusion, a life lived 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. Ok?. For example, there is a big pond, but it is always being destroyed, or overrun, by the rain water that naturally flows into it, during a heavy rain, and the pond cannot consistently and dependably provide water for the lives that are trying to live around it safely. What the pond needs is a "bund", or an artificial wall around the pond, that will protect the lives in and around the pond from the heavy rain waters, keeping within the pond the water that is needed, but letting out of the pond when needed the excess rain water that gushes into the pond, which can end up overflowing, and destroying the usefulness of the pond unless it is controlled wisely. And if you want to build such a "bund" for a pond, to protect the pond from being destroy, you must first estimate the quality of water in the pond, and the amount of rain water what will flow into the pond during a heavy rain. These estimates must be done before the "bund" is built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru O Son, listen Now. The "Life of a True Man" is like a "Heavy Rainfall" which creates "A Pond" and at the same time "Creates The Opportunity" for True Man, if you like, to "Do God's Selfless Duty", by providing the water from the "Pond" in a safe and measured way, that is, by building an appropriate "Bund" for the "Pond", which is an artificial mound of earth around the "Pond", which allows "The Pond" to take in and let out excess water safely, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God that live around, in, and near "The Pond". "The "Pond" in this analogy is the "Sharpness of True Man's Intellect and is Initially created and periodically threatened by the accumulation of the "Heavy Rainfall" is some "Low lying Area", which in truth is man's life in the "Earth World", also "The Pond" is made out of the 4 elements of earth, water, fire, and air, with the earth bearing the burden of the other three, that is, of the water, fire, and air. And "The Bund" in this analogy is God's Qualities, like Patience and Forbearance. The One who has these qualities is the "True Man" who will try to overcome the seven evils, or seven hells, of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" Those torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and in this way, try to destroy the "Bund" of "His Pond", of "His True Life", all of which in truth are the "Qualities of God". And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water in his life, coming as the thoughts of man's mind and the desires of man's body, which constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. Also, God has helped man in this effort in the following way, as "We" shared with My Children at the beginning of Chapter 17, "The Earthen Pot and The Brass Vessel", That is, God was determined to create man and woman as Human, that is, God was determined to create man and woman as a "Successful Pond and Bund", or a "Successful Intellect and Body", in order to produce a Safe and Useful Pond for all of the Creation of God, within God within you, So each of the Creation of God can make their way back into God, from which all of the Creation of God have come, and that is for sure, since in truth "There Is Nothing Other Than God", that is, So in the End, "No Child Is Left Behind", So in the End, there is Nothing Still "Separating God" from God. Amen. Ok? So in creating man and woman, God Replaced Darkness With Grace, (Which is Iman or God's Belief in God) And God Converted The Four Purest Essences Of Duty, Charity, Generosity, And Patience Into The Four Elements, (Which is Jesus [A.S.] as The Crystal Heart or God's 6th level of wisdom) And With God's Grace Of Light God Made Bliss of The "Earth World" or Maya (Which is Muhammad [Sal.] as The Kingdom of God or God's 7th level of wisdom) And Made The Incomparable Breath (God breathing Out & Then In, Which is God Telling His Story, The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man") The Temple Of The Kings Grace (All of which in truth Is True Man as The Story of God, That is, As the Story of "God within True Man", Hidden Within The Story of "True Man within God", Both Making Up God's One Story, The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man") And from another perspective, the "Bund" of the "Pond" is the virtuous wife of a married man, or God's Qualities of patience and calmness in the life of One "Surrendered to the Will of Allah", Qualities which will tolerate the gushing waters in ones life, that is, gushing waters coming to the "Pond", to the "Sharpness of his Intellect", as his worldly thoughts and desires, Qualities which are the "Bund" of the "Pond" which will not permit ones thoughts and desires to rise up in excess in ones life, and destroy him, that is, destroy his ability to truly do "God's Selfless Duty" for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do.. In this way, the "Sharpness of Intellect" which is the "Pond" of ones life, must be equal to the Qualities of ones life, which is the "Bund, in order for one to truly live as a "True Man", or as the "Earthen Pot", for the benefit of the Creation of God, within God within you.. Such a woman in a man's life is called a "Letchimi" or a Goddess of Prosperity, In the Hindu tradition, and is recognized as the Qualities of God in the Christian and Islamic tradition. In this way, the True Woman's or "Bund's destined True Husband is the "Pond" or the "Sharpness of Intellect. Such is the "True Husband and Wife" in all marriages, that is, the "Sharpness of Intellect" joined as "One with" with the Qualities of God. In this way, the "Rain Water" or "The 7 Hells" or "Excessive thoughts and desires" in ones life will always attempt to destroy the "Bund" of your "Pond", that is, will always attempt to destroy the "Qualities of God" destined as the "True Wife" of your "True Husband", that is, to destroy the "Qualities of God" destined as the "True Wife" of the "Sharpness of your Intellect", by always keeping you "separate from" God, that is, by always keeping your faith and trust focused on the "Earth World", all of which in truth is but an illusory world of "separation and differences", of "selfishness" or sin, seen on the "outside" of you. Rather than focused on God within you, and on what is "Wthin God" within you, and on what "God is Now Doing" with what is "Within God" within you, which is Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you for the benefit of your brothers and sisters, as this child is Now doing. And in this way, all of My Children mistakenly keeping focused on maintaining yourself as "a person", and as a "false fellowship" of "like minded people" who talk and talk and talk about everyone and everything, including talking about God, but never truly joining in Partnership with God within you, that is, never trtuly becoming "One with" God within you, to literally let God "Become God" within you. Rather than "you" Correctly focused on "What God Is Doing" within you, with what is Now "Within God" within you, which is God Revealing God to God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, 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. Amen. Ok? In this way, if a man is to become a "True Man", he must build a "bund" of patience and calmness for his "pond", and to do this, the "Sharpness of his Intellect" must be equal to the task, that is, must be equal to this "bund" for his "pond", to these Qualities of God for his life. And in this way, his intellect or consciousness, which is his "Pond", and his qualities which is his body or Creation or his "Bund", must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions, which is his evil tendencies inherent in his life in the "Earth World", all of which will repeatedly try to overpower him like the rain water flooding into the pond. But if his faith and trust in God within him is strong, and if he so conducts his life with God's Qualities or his "Bund" of patience and forbearance joined as "One with" his "Sharpness of Intellect" or his "Pond" then he will triumph over the seven evils (abans) inherent in his life in the world. He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. Original Version of Topic 11: My Son, I shall tell you a subtle way to overcome the seven hells. There is a big pond. If you want to build a bund for this pond you must estimate the quality of water in the pond. You must also estimate the amount of rain water that falls into the pond. These estimates must be done before the bund could be built. Do you understand what I say? Disciple: No Swami, Please explain it to me. Guru: O Son, listen Now. The life of a true man is like a heavy rainfall. The pond is the sharpness of his intellect. The bund is patience and forebearance. The one who has these qualities is the true man who will try to overcome the seven hells of the borrowed house. At this stage all of the rains of the world will fall on him and rush towards him, calling out to the believers of the Primal One, "Who do you think you are?" These torrents of water will attack him, hit him, break him, and try to destroy the bund. And the seven evils (abans) of man are the waves of water which will constantly wage war with the devotees. We must trample the seven evils (abans), and trample them with our feet. The bund of the pond is the virtuous wife of a married man who with her patience and calmness will tolerate the gushing waters of the pond and not permit the waves to rise. Such a women is a "Letchimi" of the world (Goddess of Prosperity). Her destined husband is the pond. The rain water will attempt to destroy the bund swelling up the miseries of the world. Mindful of these dangers she is like the bund using her patience and calmness to prevent the waters from rising high. She is the virtuous wife. Married life is said to be great, to voice one opinion. You must realize this. In the same way, if a man is to become a true man, he must build a bund of patience and calmness. His sharpness of intellect must be equal to the bund. His intellect and his body must be able to overcome the waves of misery and afflictions that will try to overpower him like the rain in the pond. If he so conducts his life he will triumph over the seven evils (abans). He is the real male. Know this Son, Gem of My Eyes. 12. The Duty & Reward of True Man In The World - of the One who Chooses the "Earthen Pot" over the "Brass Vessel", is to keep it unbroken and safe for one week, and during that time he must sell this "Way of life", this "Way of the Earthen Pot" in the "Market Place" of the world, and bring to "Me", to his God, that is, bring to his Guru/Shaikh/God, to his Triple Flame, every cent realized for its sale.

He will have to stay only one week in the country of self-destruction but with me he can spend countless weeks. Be mindful of this. 13. The True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" - is the "Hell of the satan" in the "Earth World", that is, is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the Form of One who Continues to live in the "Earth World" with Faith and Trust in God, and Only in God, even after Again hearing directly from God about the True Nature of the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel", and the True Consequences of Choosing One over the Other, and after hearing about what each will bring into Ones Life, which in truth is Choosing Either Me, Or "the satan". And in this way, the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, of One living in the "Earth World" who Lets God write "His Story" or "Awwal" on His head, by asking God To Place His Holy Foot on his Shinning Head, saying to God at that time, "O My God, You Alone Are Sufficient" Summary of Topic13: Bawa.

That is, is the "hell of the satan" for One who Continues to Choose the "Earthen Pot" or the "hell of the satan" Over the "Brass Vessel" which is the "heaven of the satan", even after living in the "Earth World" and experiencing both of them for a while. Bawa.

Bawa. That is, the Choice of One who while living in the "Earth World" Continues to Choose the "Form of God" in the "Earth World" which is the "Earthen Pot" or the "hell of the satan", Over the "form of the satan" in the "Earth World", which is the "Brass Vessel" or the "heaven of the satan".

That is, when you Choose and Accept the "Earthen Pot" within the "Brass Vessel" within you, Over the "Brass Vessel" Alone on the illusory "outside" of you, that is, Over the "form of the satan" within you, That is, Over the "form of the satan", First within you as the "very real but false" inside of you, and Now on the illusory "outside" of you, Now as "you" living as "a person", Now as "you" living as the "false fellowship". Bawa. All of which in truth is Now "your current false life" on the illusory "outside" of yourself, all of which in truth is "Just Not True". All of which is Now the "false destiny of your soul" within you, Now with your soul in its ignorance animating hell within you. Bawa. All of which in truth is Now how you are Now experiencing your life in the "Earth World", First within you as the "anti-christ", that is, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified on His Cross, which in truth is your elemental body, with His 5 Nails, which in truth is "your 5 desires" to live on the illusory "outside" of yourself and sin. And all of which in truth is Now how you are experiencing your life on the "outside" of you, with "you" Now living as the "Enemy of your soul". Bawa. Rather than you Now living as Jesus (A.S.), that is, as your liberated soul joined as "One with" your awakened wisdom, that is, with your soul having come to an Understanding of Itself, Now Starting to live Again but this time by animating heaven within you, which in truth is the "Re-opened "World of souls" within you, as God is intending within you. Bawa. Please know this Now, My Dearest Loving Children, without the slightest doubt, and Escape from "your current life" of hell, that is, Use God To Escape into God within you. There is no other way to make it "Out of Here" Truly Alive, My Dearest Loving Children. That would be good. Amen. Ok? Expanded Version of Topic 14: Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say to God, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the "City of Magic" (Mayaa-Jaalam), that is, the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the "Country of Self-destructive Possessive People" my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" or "Of Creation", which each man receives as the "True Destiny of his soul", if you like, as written on your head by God, that is, if you Now Choose "To Accept" the "Earthen Pot" as "Who you are", as "Where you are", and as "What is truly happening" in you life, that is, "To Accept" the "Earthen Pot" as Now your "Next Life", Here and Now, which in truth is the "Re-opened World of souls" within you, all of which in truth is the "Form of God" within you. That is, by you Now Rejecting the "Brass Vessel" as Now as "Who you are", as "Where you are", and as "What is truly happening" in you life, that is, by you Now Rejecting your "current life", as in truth Now the "Enemy of your soul", as in truth Now the "anti-christ", as in truth Now the "form of the satan" within you, which in truth is Now the "Opened World of demons,World of jinns, and World of fairies within you, all of which in truth is the "form of the satan" within you. By you Now Joining in Partnership with God, that is, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, to let God "Cure Himself of you", that is, to let God cure Himself of "you" living a life of "separation and differences", a life of "selfishness", of sin, on the illusory "outside" of yourself, 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". Amen. Ok? That is, by you Now Joining in Partnership with God, as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you as Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", and then within you, as Now "Us" within Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) with in you. That would be good. Amen. Ok? In this way, those of My Children who Now Accept and Receive this "Earthen Pot" as your Next Life, Here and Now, will reach paradise, First as the "Selfless Life" of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in the "Body of Truth", which in truth is Now your awakened wisdom joined as "One with" your liberated soul, in search of the Nur, which is the Light of your wisdom, and then as "True Prayer", the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is', and then as True Man in the 5 lettered form of "Alhamd", that is, of Alif, Lam, Mim, Hay, and Dahl, which in truth is the Form of the Suratal Fatihah, and the Essence of the 28 letters that form the Mystical Body of man, all of which is Now Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok? He will become One born as Human, who lives as Human with Human Qualities, the Qualities of God, He will become One who is living as the "Pond" or the "Sharpness of his Intellect" joined with God, First on the "outside" of him, and then within him, that is, joined as "One with the Qualities and Actions of God", in order to overcome the 7 evils that naturally rise up from within this earth shirt for the soul, and yet still provide the grace, wisdom, and ilm of God for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while, for the benefit of all of your brothers and sisters, as this child has Now learned to do. Amen. Ok? Such a person who has received the "Earthen Pot" will very, very rarely witness hell, and many who So receive the "Earthen Pot" will come to the state of "Yoga" in the Hindu tradition, or the state of "Haqiqat" in the Islamic tradition. And somewill come to the state of "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)", Now in the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) tradition, which in truth was the "Potential" within all of My Children, that is, within all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, when "We" were still living in the world as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and is Now Again the "Potential" within all of My Children, that is, within all of the Children of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), that is, while "We" is still living in the world as Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.). Amen. Ok? Original Version of Topic 14: Those who listen to these words intensely, and with clarity, will become pure of soul, and say, "O God, when I hear there words, I become frightened. When I hear of the country of self-destruction my head trembles. Lord, I do not want this. Nor do I want this pot. O King, O God of Compassion, Gem of My Eyes, place Your Compassionate foot on my head. This alone is sufficient. Give me only that". So God places His Holy Foot on the Shining Head. This is "Awwal" (the writing on the Tablet). Those who receive this will exceed in love, experience supreme bliss, overflow with happiness, with the lamp of light in his heart, which will illuminate everywhere with effulgence. He will glitter as the exalted, "Swamiyar" commanding praise, dignity, respect and compassion. This is the writing of the "Awwal" which each man receives as the destiny written on his head. He who receives the earthen pot will reach paradise. He will be born as human, live as human, with human qualities. Such a person who has received the earthen pot will very, very rarely witness hell. There may be many who come to the state of yoga, and some will pronounce words of wisdom. 15. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" - is the Heaven of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", No Matter What, that is, No Matter What God tells and shows you to the Contrary, that in truth "You and God" are One, that is, the "Brass Vessel" is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of God in the "Earth World", that is, is the Life of True Man, of One Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. And Even After he has literally become the "form, state, and life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after he has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After realizing that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you, and that is for sure. Summary of Topic 15: Bawa. The True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" is the "Heaven" of "the satan", and is Now the Life of One who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", No Matter What, that is, who Continues to Choose the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the "form, state, and life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World", Over the "Earthen Pot" which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" in the "Earth World" of God, that is, of True Man Living as God in the "Earth World". That is, Even After Again hearing from God the "Truth of God" about the "True Nature" of Both the "Brass Vessel" and the "Earthen Pot", and the True Consequences of Choosing One Over The Other. Bawa. And Even After he has literally become the "Form, State, and Life" of the "Brass Vessel" in the "Earth World", which in truth is the "Form, State, and Life" of "the satan" in the "Earth World. And Even After he has sat at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, at the feet of True Man, at the feet of God for his age and for all life, that is, at the feet of the "Presence of God" and the "Word of God" made flesh Now for his age and for all life. Bawa. That is, Even After One has experienced the difference between the two, that is, every after One has experience "The Contrast" between the "Earthen Pot" and the "Brass Vessel". And Even After One Now knows that in truth the "Brass Vessel" is what "God Discarded" to Become God within you. And finally, Even After One realizes that In Order To Now Truly Reach God, in your lifetime, One Must Become The "Earthen Pot", that is, One must Get God To "Do It Again", that is, "To Become God" Again, but this time within you, that is, this time within your "heart, or mind, or room", if you like. Bawa. For in truth the Choice is yours, not God's, that is, the Choice to spend eternity within you as Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the 'Brass Vessel", that is, as the "Form, State, and Life" of Either God within you, that is, of True Man within God within you, Or of "the satan" within True Man within God within you , and that is for sure. Bawa. That is, even after he has Again heard and understood "The Truth of God" about the Nature of both the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot", while sitting at the feet of the "Earthen Pot", that is, while sitting at the feet of the One who has truly become the "Earthen Pot" for your age and for all life, that is, who has become the Guru/Swami/God, or the "Triple Flame" of God, that is, the "True Gnana Guru" for his age and for his life, all of which is Now the "Form, State, and Life" of Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), if you like, in whom "We are well Pleased". Amen. Ok?. Bawa. Such is the Great Mystery of the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot" Created by God, and the life of One who Either Accepts Or Rejects the "Brass Vessel" upon hearing Again from God, about the True Nature of Both. Bawa. So please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, for in truth your "Form, State, and Life" for eternity within you depends on your Choice. And that is for sure. Amen. Ok? Expanded Version of Topic 15: Those who Continue to Choose the "Brass Vessel", even after you come and live in the "Earth World" for a while, and even after you Again hear God's Advice concerning the True Nature of the "Brass Vessel" and of the "Earthen Pot", that is, that the "Brass Vessel" is the "form of the satan" in the "Earth World", is the "heaven of the satan" in the "Earth World", and that the "Earthen Pot" is the "Form of God" in the "Earth World", is the "hell of the satan" in the "Earth World, will rarely, if ever Return to God, from which Everyone and Everything has come. For in truth, the soul who Continues to Chose the "Brass Vessel", even after you have been born, and raised in the "Earth World", and come to maturity in the "Earth World", and hears Again directly from God, Now as your True Guru/Shaikh in the "Earth World", Now as your "True Example" in the "Earth World" of One living as the "Earthen Pot", will "Reject" God's Final Advice, will "Reject" the "Earthen Pot", and Continue to enjoy life in this "Earth World" to the fullest, that is, as the "Brass Vessel", as the "form, state, and life" of "the satan", as the "heaven of the satan" in the "Earth World", and that is for sure. May God protect all of My Children from making this False Choice with what God has given each of My Children, that is, with God having given you Both, both the "Brass Vessel", which is the "person" living a life of "separation and differences", of "selfishness or sin", on the illusory "outside" of yourself, as well as the "Earthen Pot" hidden within the "Brass Vessel", the "Earthen Pot" which is the True Human living a life of Oneness and Unity, of Justice and Truth, of Compassion and Unity, First on the "outside" of you, at the foot of your Guru/Shaikh, that is, at the foot of "Your Example" of the "Earthen Pot", and then within you, as the "Palace of Pearls", as the "Palace of the soul", as the House of wisdom, as the "Presence of God", the "Word of God" made flesh, for you age and for all life. Amen. Ok? For in truth, one who has Chosen the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", which in truth is Choosing "the satan" Over God, which in truth is Choosing the "Form the satan" Over the "Form of God", which in truth is Choosing the "heaven of the satan" Over the "hell of the satan", while living in the "Earth World", enjoys this life in the "Earth World" to the fullest, that is, he sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. But if you so Choose, if you so live, then where is stone or rock (your faith in God)? Where is God (your house)? That is, where is your foundation, what can you Stand On in your life, that is, what will bring Stability and Security to your life, a Stability and Security that you can Count On, no Matter what happens, or comes in your life? For as Jesus (peace be upon Him) told His Children, "I am your rock" to Stand On, which is "Your Faith In God", or your "Iman" in the Islamic Tradition. That is, where is "Your absolute faith, certitude, and determination" in God, that in truth, "There is Nothing Other Than God, You Are God", or "La illaha Ill Allahu" in the Islamic Tradition, that is, "The heart that knows that God Is One". In this way, one who places his faith and trust in the world, making his life in the world "his stone or rock", his faith or foundation, as "his god", as his house, then he believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms his impatience into wisdom, and his haste in respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the City of Magic (Mayaa-Jaalam), the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram), in the Country of Self-destructive Possessive People, as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. By this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there any beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere have you seen a place like this market of the "Self-destructive Country". This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. With will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of "Brass". He says, "Look at this "Brass Vessel". I shall drop it down. If it bends Is shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the "Country of Self-destructive People" is known to the "Self-realized Man", the Secret which is "God's Story", which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", like the apple tree hidden within the apple seed buried within the earth, that in truth, "Man and God are One", that is, Man is within God, and God is within Man, that is, Man is God's Story, and God is Man's Story, and as such, "They are One". Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, within the "Earth World", the soul is Again shown by God the two types of circumstances, that is, the "Form, State, and Life" of God, and the "form, state, and life" of "the satan", that is, the circumstances around the two types of vessels in the "Earth World, or the "City of Self-destructive People". That is, allowing each soul in the "Earth World" to Either Choose the "Earthen Pot" of the Shaikh/Guru, or of "True Fellowship", that is, of "God-focused Children" who have Joined in True Partnership with God, that is, as "One with" God, So God can Finish Telling and Bringing To Completion His Story, which is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man", but this time within you, all of which in truth is First experienced as the "Body of Truth" for the soul, allowing the soul to animate the "Re-opened World of souls", or the 7 heavens, and then, as the Kingdom of God, or the 8th heaven, allowing the soul to animate God. Or to Choose the "Brass Vessel" of "the satan", of "self-focused people", who have joined in "false fellowship" with "like minded people" to talk, and talk, and talk about everyone and everything, including talking about God, but never to truly coming together in "True-Fellowship", as "One with" God within you, as "One with" your brothers and sisters, and as "One with" the Creation of God, within God within you, to "Become God". And in truth, all of My Children in truth are Now Truly Choosing the "Brass Vessel" Over the "Earthen Pot", not by your words, but by "your actions", by How You Are Now Living In The World, as "separate from", which is "satan's way", Rather than as "One with", which is God's Way, and this is Now the truth of all of My Children, and that is for sure. What to do? But the "Earthen Pot" still lies hidden within you, within each of My Children, if you like, if You So Choose, just waiting to Germinate to "Your Truth", if you like, that is, to the truth that Now lies hidden within the "Brass Vessel" that is Now you, that is Now each of My Children, that is, Germinate to "Your Truth", that in truth "You and God" are One. So Now all of My Children Can So Choose, can Now Germinate to "Your Truth" because Only Now Can You So Choose, because Only Now Do You Have The Contrast, because Only Now "You Are The Contrast", So True Understanding of God's Advice Can Now Occur. That is, because Only Now Can you truly Choose between the "Earthen Pot and the Brass Vessel", because Only Now have you truly become the "Brass Vessel", have you truly become "your parents", have you truly become the "Enemy of the soul", have you truly become the "anti-christ", have you truly become the "child of darkness" covering the "Child of Light", all of which in truth is Now you living as the "Shadow or the Contrast of the Guru/Shaikh". And because Only Now are you truly sitting before the "Earthen Pot", which is the Light of God for the world, for your age and Now for all life, First as Your Dearest Loving Father Bawa Muthaiyaddeen (Ral.), and Now as Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Please". So Only Now can you Make The Choice Offered to you earlier by God, First in the "World of souls", and Second in the "womb of your mother", and Now Third in the "Earth World", after you have come to maturity, after you have become "your parents", that is, the Choice between Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the Choice between Either God Or "the satan". So Now, if you like, Having Experienced The Contrast, of "you" and "Your Guru/Shaikh", that is, of "the satan" and of God, So you can Now Make Your Choice, that is, you can Now Choose between Either the "Earthen Pot" Or the "Brass Vessel", which in truth is the Choice between Either God Or "the satan". And based on Your Choice, you can Either Germinate to "Your Truth", Or Not, and in truth "There Is No Other Choice", just between God and "the satan", Because in truth Everything Else that you may call "Your Choice" in truth is not really "a choice", but Rather is just "drama", that is, "the drama" of your current life of "separation and differences" in you "current life" of sin, of selfishness, and the only way to win "the drama" is "Not To Play". Period!!! So please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, for if you Choose Foolishly, then your life becomes like the life of the "apple seed" that Choose the life of the "apple seed" buried in the earth, as "separate from" the earth, and as "separate from" what is hidden within them, and as "separate from" the One who Created the "apple seed", Over the life of the "apple tree", as "One with", that lives hidden within the "apple seed". And in this way, some apple seeds buried in thef earth fail to Germinate to "Its Truth", in its lifetime, and instead, gradually rot and die in the earth, only to take on 105 million rebirths, but never again as an apple seed, never again as the "Story of the Apple Tree", a Story that they came to the earth, to join as "One with" the earth, to tell, if the apple seed likes, for like all people, the Choice is each apple seed's, not God's, as the Choice for each of My Children is "yours", not God's, that is, the Choice of How You Use Your Life, or not, that is, as God's Seed, revealing God's Tree, bearing God's Fruits, or not. So Please Choose Wisely, My Dearest Loving Children, while you still can, Please Choose God Over "you", by you Now Starting to Act as "One with" God, First on the "outside" of you and then within you, Rather than you Continuing to Live 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". And Please do this Now, in your lifetime, by Now joining as "One with" Our Dearest Loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), in whom "We are well Pleased", as much as you can, whenever you can. That would be good, good for you, good for him, and good for "Us". Amen. Ok? Original Version of Topic 15: The soul who chooses the brass vessel is born on the earth and enjoys life to the fullest. He sings, dances, enjoys the company of friends, and plays games. Where is stone? Where is God? He believes that all that glitters is gold, and lives the way he desires. He transforms impatience into wisdom and haste into to respectful anger. He wanders where he pleases. He accepts the country of self-destruction as his own and the City of Possessiveness (Mamakaram) as his own. He says, Look here. The Brass is shining. Buy this without hesitation. It is Pure Brass. It won't break. Even if it breaks it can be mended. It won't bend. Even if it bends It can be straightened. Look at it in the sun. See how it blinds your eyes. Look at it in the shade and see how beautiful it is! Is there such beauty anywhere else? It is not available in the market. You cannot go and come back. Its a pleasure to see it, every time. You cannot see its likes again. Look, it is shining. There will be no repetition of this birth. These are our things, our shop with our things. This shining Brass. Nowhere else have I seen a place like this market of the self-destructive country. This will never be offered again Come! Come! Come with confidence and look. This is the place to feast your eye and to play. It will give you pleasure. So saying these entrancing words, he takes away all goodness and truth, and makes it appear that impermanent things last forever. He glorifies the shining quality of brass. He says, "Look at this brass vessel. I shall drop it down. If it bends I shall straighten it If it breaks I shall mend it. It can never be destroyed. It is flawless. It is not easily available. It will bring joy too." But a person with wisdom and knowledge, and the person with the six levels of wisdom are not captivated by these words. The secret of the market place in the country of self-destruction is known to the self-realized man. Thus, with songs, dance, and joyous words, the pure life called the soul is shown the two types of circumstances that surround the two types of vessels in the country of self-destruction.
