Thank you. 3. Go To: Home Page - Bawa Quotations - Summary My love you, my dearest loving brothers and sisters - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) Outline of Expanded Summary - for Topic 01 1. The True Nature of God Is Oneness - there is nothing other than God, You are God, and True Man is the Messenger of God 2. God Has Two States - Stillness and Movement, or God and True Man, where the stillness of God is what God is, which is God, and the movement of God is what God does, which is True Man 3. The Truth of Us - is the "Oneness of God And True Man" within us, not our current false reality as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God, all existing in our ignorance on the "outside" of us. 4. The Truth of Us - is what God is currently doing within us, which is revealing Himself, revealing "Who He Is", revealing His Stillness, which is God, by bringing to completion within us "What He Does", bringing to completion within us His Movement, which is True Man, and "What He Does" is reveal the Stillness of God within the Movement of God, is reveal God within True Man 5. To Be Successful In Our Life - God must complete what He is doing within us, which can only occur within us when we give up what we in our ignorance think we are, and think we are doing on the "outside" of us, which is revealing ourselves as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" each other and from God's Creation, and instead join in partnership with what God is, and with what God in truth is doing on the "inside" of us, which is revealing Himself as One with True Man for the benefit of His Creation 6. The Sound of God - is the One becoming the Three & the Three becoming the One, three times, and this sound is given three times, in the beginning (awwal), in this world (dunya), and in the hereafter (akhirah) 7. We Must Become Peaceful In Our Own Ending - like the rain falling back into the ocean, after having completed its duty as rain, becoming again the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, as "separate from" the ocean Text of Short Summary - for Topic 01 Text of Bawa Quotation - for Topic 01 Text of Expanded Summary - for Topic 01 1. The True Nature of God Is Oneness - there is nothing other than God, You are God, and True Man is the Messenger of God The true nature of God within us is Oneness. God is One, there isn't anything but God, Only God exists, and the proper relationship of God and True Man is to reveal that Oneness of God, to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man", which in truth is God and True Man within us. 2. God Has Two States, Stillness And Movement, Or God And True Man - where the stillness of God is what God is, which is God, and the movement of God is what God does, which is True Man And in this way, God is the "Oneness of God and True Man", God is the Oneness of the two aspects of God, of stillness and movement, One revealing the Other within It, with the movement of God which is True Man, which is what God does, revealing the stillness of God, revealing what God is, allowing the stillness of God, which is what God is, to reveal the movement of God, which is True Man, which is what God does, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God and of True Man within us. 3. The Truth of Us Is The Oneness of God And True Man Within Us - not our current false reality as "separate from" God, and "separate from" each other, and "separate from" the Creation of God, all existing in our ignorance on the "outside" of us The proper relationship of God with True Man is Oneness, since in truth God is One, and therefore "we" in truth are within that Oneness that is God, and in this way, nothing of us is "separate from" God, or "separate from" what God is or "separate from" what God is doing, nothing of us is "separate from" the stillness and the movement of God, and nothing of God, of what God is and of what God is doing, is "separate from" us. 4. The Truth of Us Is What God Is Currently Doing Within Us - which is revealing Himself, revealing "Who He Is", revealing His Stillness, which is God, by bringing to completion within us "What He Does", bringing to completion within us His Movement, which is True Man, and "What He Does" is reveal the Stillness of God within the Movement of God, is reveal God within True Man And in this way, what we represent within that One that is God, within the "Oneness of God and True Man", is what God is doing within us, which is True Man, which is God revealing Himself, which is God revealing what He is, which is God revealing His stillness, by making the transition from movement to stillness, from True Man to God. Or said another way, God has two states, stillness and movement, and we are that aspect of God that is in movement, even though we are acting like we are "separate from" God, and "separate from" what God is doing within us, which is revealing God, for in truth we are of that aspect of God that is making the transition from movement back into stillness, so the stillness of God can make the transition from stillness back into movement, we are that aspect of God that is revealing again the stillness of God, by becoming that stillness, by giving up our movement. 5. To Be Successful In Our Life God Must Complete What He Is Doing Within Us - which can only occur within us when we give up what we in our ignorance think we are, and think we are doing on the "outside" of us, which is revealing ourselves as "separate from" God, and as "separate from" each other and from God's Creation, and instead join in partnership with what God is, and with what God in truth is doing on the "inside" of us, which is revealing Himself as One with True Man for the benefit of His Creation And we do this by first realizing, understanding, accepting, and then joining with this truth about ourselves, this truth about who God is within us and who we are within God, for God is our stillness within our movement, and we are, as True Man, His movement within His stillness, and as such we are One, God and True Man are One, like an apple seed is the stillness within the apple tree and the apple tree is the movement within the apple seed, and as such they are One, the apple seed and the apple tree are One. And we do this by becoming One with the movement of God that already exists within us, by joining as One with what God is already doing within us, by joining in partnership with what God has already started within us, which is the transition of His stillness into His movement, the transition of God into True Man, into what God does, allowing the movement of God within us, allowing True Man within us, to reveal God, to reveal the stillness that is God, allowing True Man within us to make the transition from movement back into the stillness of God, allowing True Man within us to make the transition from what God does into what God is. 6. The Sound of God Is The One Becoming The Three & The Three Becoming The One, Three Times - and this sound is given three times, in the beginning (awwal), in this world (dunya), and in the hereafter (akhirah) And we do this by joining in partnership with that aspect of God within us, which is the movement of God within us, which is the Triple Flame of God within us, within alif, lam, and mim, within us, that is already in the process within us of revealing again what God is, which is the stillness of God, by becoming One again within us, by the Three becoming the One again within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within the movement of God, within the Three of God within us, within Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Them within us), which is the earth world or dunya within us, and for the benefit of all of the Creation of True Man within the stillness of God within us, which is the next world or akhirah within us. And what in our ignorance we call God as "separate from" us is in truth God in the state of stillness, is God revealing again the movement of God, is God revealing True Man within God or movement within stillness, and God within True Man or stillness within movement, is God making the transition from stillness into movement, and then as True Man revealing the stillness of God within Himself, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, because this is what God does, as an apple seed again reveals the apple fruit by first revealing the apple tree. And in this way, success in our life is "us" realizing, understanding, accepting, and joining with this Oneness of God and True Man within us, is "us" falling back into this truth of us and of God and True Man within us, from which we have come, having completed our duty as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, as "separate from" the Creation of God, as "separate from" the Oneness of God and True Man within us. Success in our life is "us" letting our "separation from" God, our "separation from" each other", and our "separation from" the Creation of God within us, "separate from" us, come to an end within us, revealing True Man within us, revealing the Oneness of God and His Creation within us, which is True Man within us, which is the movement of God within us, allowing True Man to then reveal God, allowing True Man as the movement of God to give up the movement of God for the stillness of God, to give up what God does for what God is. Only this is true success in our life, not anything about "us" as "separate from" God, or as "separate from" each other, or as "separate from" the Creation of God within us. 7. We Must Become Peaceful In Our Own Ending - like the rain falling back into the ocean, after having completed its duty as rain, becoming again the ocean, no longer existing as the rain, as "separate from" the ocean This is like the rain water falls back into the ocean after having completed its duty, after having become the rain, the clouds, the nourishment for the Creation of God, becoming again the ocean from which it came, no longer existing as the rain, as "separate from" the ocean. And the truth of us is like this, with "us" willingly doing this, "us' willingly letting our life of "separation and differences" end, "us" becoming peaceful with our own ending, with "us" ending as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and with "Us" beginning as "One with" God, and "One with" everything that God is "One with". In this way, allowing God and True Man within us to complete what they have started within us, even before we were born into this earth world, allowing them to reveal True Man within God and God within True Man, to reveal the movement of God within the stillness of God, and the stillness of God within the movement of God, to reveal both what God is and what God is doing, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us and of all of the Creation of True Man within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Text of Short Summary - for Topic 01 The true nature of God within us is Oneness. God is One, there isn't anything but God, Only God exists, and the proper relationship of God and True Man is to reveal that Oneness of God, to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man", which in truth is God and True Man within us.

Text of Bawa Quotation - for Topic 01 First Bawa asks us a question or riddle: "What has incredible movement so it can stand perfectly still?" Then Bawa's gives us His answer to the riddle: "A hummingbird. A hummingbird has incredible movement so it can stand perfectly still, and take its nourishment from deep within a flower." "Like this, God has incredible movement outside so He can stand perfectly still inside, and draw His Divine Knowledge or 'ilm from His Creation."
