Bawa. So My Dearest Loving Children, Let Us Start To Review “Part F”
Which Involves Your Correctly Knowing Both “Your Current Prayer” (See "God-Talking Comment 12") And “Your Current Advice” (See
"God-Talking Comment 13"), Because In Truth “This” Is Now Where You, And Now Where All of My Children, Without Exception, Are Currently Incorrectly Living Out “Your Life” In “The World”, Which If Not Corrected Will Cause You, And Will Cause All of My Children, Without Exception, To Experience Great Suffering, Both In “Your Grave”, And In “Your Hereafter”, if you like, and that is for sure. Amen.
Bawa. That Is, “If You Are A Wise Child”, Now For Our Age, And “Not Just A Foolish Child”, Now For Our Age, As Bawa Teaches Us, And Now As Our Dearest Loving Son, And Your Dearest Loving Brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), In Whom “We Are Well Pleased”, Is Teaching Us Again, and that is for sure. Amen.

Bawa. So First My Dearest Loving Children, Lets Review
Knowing "Your Current Understanding".
Bawa. As Explained In "God-Talking Comment 12", In Truth For You, And In Truth For All of My Children, Without Exception, “Your Self/Body/Behavior/ Presence/Word/Prayer/Advice/Understanding” Is Not As You Now “See It”, Or As You Now “Believer In It”, Or As You Now “Understand It”, Or As You Now “Experience It”, Or As You Now “Pray To It”, Or As You Now “Do Duty & Service To It”, Or As You Now Expect To “Have It” Both In “This World” And in “Your Next World”, And Now Most Importantly, As You Now Expect To “Have It” In “Your Grave”, That Is, As “One With” It, if you like, and that is for sure.
Bawa. For In Truth “Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word/Prayer/
Advice/Understanding” Is “An Elemental Power”, That Is,
“Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word/
Prayer/Advice/Understanding” Is
“An Elemental Power”
That Dawns
In “The Place”
Where There Is
An “I”,
That Is,
“Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word/
Prayer/Advice/Understanding” Is
“An Elemental Power”
That Dawns
Within “Your Impure Heart/Mind”
When You “Have NOT Truly Learned”
“How NOT To Be There”,
As “Separate From” God Within You,
So
“God Can Be There”
As “One With” You Within Him,
if you like,
and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, “Your Self/Body/Behavior/Presence/Word/Prayer/Advice/
Understanding” Is “An Elemental Power”, As Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Teaches Us, And Now As Our Dearest Loving Son, And Your Dearest Loving Brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), In Whom “We Are Well Pleased”, Is Teaching Us Again, As “Follows”, if you like, and that is for sure. Amen.

“The Beginning”
of
“A Short Excerpt”
From “Chapter 03”,
Called “Cultivating The Heart”,
From The Book,
By His Holiness M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.).
My very precious children, these things are all available, but we must know which crop will grow in which soil and what kind of fertilizer is needed. We must know where we can find gems, where the oil is, where the lead is, the copper, the gold, iron ore, silver, mercury, and sulphur. We must examine the earth to discover which stones contain gems, we must examine the world to discover which water will quench our thirst, and we must analyze the air we breathe to know which gases are beneficial or essential.
This is the way we have to search for God too. We have to scrutinize the gurus and sheikhs we meet. We have to discover where the wisdom we need exists, what sort of wisdom can be found where, and what wisdom truly is. Just as it is necessary to find the correct place for whatever we need to do, we must also find the place where we can discover that which is of true value, the place from which we can reach God and acquire His qualities, His treasure, and His wisdom. My very precious children, we must examine all this.
There are millions of gods which take the name of God, millions of religions which take the name of God, and millions of languages and histories which claim to speak in God's name. So many people put on different robes, clothing, and emblems in God's name. Many such things have been brought into existence in God's name, but on this farm, this world where everything is available, we must cultivate our crops. We must cultivate the land and examine the soil to know which crops will grow. We must find the land that we can live on and build our house, and we must find water which is drinkable. We must think about all these things.

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim -
In “The Name of God”,
The Most Merciful,
The Most Compassionate.
His Holiness Teaches Us:
Amin. Amin. May we surrender all responsibiliity to God, the limitless Ruler of grace and incomparable love. Amin.May our life, its exaltedness, the good times and the bad be His responsibility. Amin.May He be responsible for our birth, our life, and our death, and for the good and evil we do. May He alone be responsible for the exaltedness of our life, for the grace that will take away our sorrow, and for the duty that will make us grow and bring us to the other shore. Amin.
My very precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, fellow beings who are the life within my life, the source of my eyes' light, my loving children who melt my heart, I give you my loving greetings. May God comfort us and give us His grace. Amin.Let God alone be responsible for everything in our life and for its splendor. May He nurture us on the true path. May He feed us His good qualities and give us His grace, His treasure, His limitless wealth. May He feed us the milk of His love and pour the honey of His grace into us. May He show us the light of wisdom and teach us to understand the secrets of the three worlds. May He show us the straight true path. May He grant us His grace and embrace us with the wealth of His grace. Amin.
My loving children, my jeweled lights, consider the world, this earth. We have lands and oceans, jungles and huge mountains. There are places where you can farm, places where you cannot, and places where the soil is rich but of no use because it has not been cultivated. Some earth is salty, some is red, and some is black or various other colors. Brass, copper, iron, sulphur, oil, and precious gems are all found in the earth, but they cannot be found everywhere. There are rocks everywhere, but not precious gems. Water is everywhere, but in some places it is not at the surface. You might find water where none is evident if you dig very deep, but you have to make a great effort to reach it. There is no place without earth, without water, without air, without fire, or without illusion. The elements exist in the earth, in the skies, in the seven lower worlds, and in the seven heavens above. But precious gems, my children, do not exist everywhere.
Earth is found everywhere, but can we grow crops just anywhere? Water is everywhere, but can we drink just any water? Air is everywhere, but can we inhale just any air? Fire is everywhere, but can we use fire just anywhere? Illusions are found in abundance everywhere, but do we accept them all? There is land everywhere, but can we build a house just anywhere? No, we cannot.
My very precious children, these things are all available, but we must know which crop will grow in which soil and what kind of fertilizer is needed. We must know where we can find gems, where the oil is, where the lead is, the copper, the gold, iron ore, silver, mercury, and sulphur. We must examine the earth to discover which stones contain gems, we must examine the world to discover which water will quench our thirst, and we must analyze the air we breathe to know which gases are beneficial or essential.
This is the way we have to search for God too. We have to scrutinize the gurus and sheikhs we meet. We have to discover where the wisdom we need exists, what sort of wisdom can be found where, and what wisdom truly is. Just as it is necessary to find the correct place for whatever we need to do, we must also find the place where we can discover that which is of true value, the place from which we can reach God and acquire His qualities, His treasure, and His wisdom. My very precious children, we must examine all this.
There are millions of gods which take the name of God, millions of religions which take the name of God, and millions of languages and histories which claim to speak in God's name. So many people put on different robes, clothing, and emblems in God's name. Many such things have been brought into existence in God's name, but on this farm, this world where everything is available, we must cultivate our crops. We must cultivate the land and examine the soil to know which crops will grow. We must find the land that we can live on and build our house, and we must find water which is drinkable. We must think about all these things.
My children, if you need a well, you might have to dig two to find one with good water. And you might have to dig twenty, forty, one hundred, or even one thousand feet just to find two springs. If those springs are good, the water will well up continually. If they are not, either your well will dry up very soon or the water level will drop in one season and rise in another. But if you dig your well in the correct place which is not affected by the changing seasons, water will always be available. You have to dig the well in the right place.
There is endless water in the ocean, but can we drink it? No we cannot. The water in the ocean never diminishes but it is not drinkable. Similarly, there is so much water in a lake, but if you just boldly walk in, you may drown. And after all your digging, can the amount of water in a well compare with the amount in a pond? No, but the pond water contains germs, dirt, and fungi. You cannot drink it directly; it has to be cleaned first, because so many things are mixed in it. Once you examine it, you will discover all the dirt and the stench in that pond. Then how can we drink its water? We have to filter it first.
My very precious children, the world is within us. Just as there are different kinds of water, there are different kinds of knowledge. You will find religions, scriptures, and philosophies as deep as the ocean. There are languages as vast as the ocean. There are so many different alphabets--Hebrew, Arabic, English, or Telugu, for example--and so many countless languages, like Greek, Kerandhum, Pali, Urdu, Hindi, Waduhu, Bengali, and so on. There are many, many languages, but can we benefit from them? Can we see God through these letters? Can we see God through the words we learn? Can we know God through any of our races even though they are as vast as the ocean? Although the earth is everywhere, can we plant crops anywhere? No we cannot. Can we inhale any air indiscriminately? If we breathe the air coming from a toilet, we will fall ill. It is air, but we cannot breathe it. Fire is everywhere, but if we try to confine every fire into one place, it will burn us up. Can we bake bread anywhere? Can we dig a well or find a spring just anywhere? No we cannot.
My very precious children, we see countless things every day which are of no benefit to us. Do we acquire wisdom through the alphabet? If we study Hebrew do we acquire wisdom? Do we acquire wisdom through Arabic or English? Do we merge with God? No, we cannot achieve that state through languages. They are like the waters of the ocean, salty and incapable of quenching thirst. None of them can benefit us; none of this water can be used to cultivate a good crop.
Can we reach God with race, religion, color, prejudice, and discrimination? Can we grow a true crop of wisdom through such channels? No we cannot. Only after examining the soil can we determine where to grow which crop. Only after examining the water can we determine whether it is pure. We have to examine each place to determine its shortcomings and then find a healthy, clean environment in which to live and build our house.
This is why we have to consider everything and examine each condition. It is essential and urgent to analyze each little detail. We have everything. We have all these languages, yet languages, colors, and words--this kind of cultivation is of no use to us. Books and stories, like the waters of the ocean, are of no use to us. We cannot grow that crop of wisdom with these.
Cells, viruses, energy, mercury, sulphur, gold, and silver are all found in many different places, but who knows where? Only God knows, because He is the only One who does not need any of these. He does not need gold, He does not need gems or mercury, He does not need anything, and that is why He knows everything that exists everywhere. The One who needs nothing knows everything; the One who has discarded everything perceives everything. He knows every bit of the earth and the seas. He knows every language, all the scriptures, religions, colors, races, metals, and gold. He knows all about them, but He does not want them. He has pushed all these away and does not even think about them. He does not try to acquire these things. He takes no interest in our languages, our colors, our racial prejudice, our gold, titles, honors, or knowledge. He is not interested in our praise or blame, in our earnings, our wealth, or our histories. He has discarded all this. And because He has discarded everything, He is complete everywhere.
My precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, from the time you are one month old until you are a year and a half or two years old you speak many, many different languages. You speak the languages of all God's creations, yet your parents do not understand or pay attention. Until they teach you to understand their own language, they do not understand yours; it is completely incomprehensible to them.
An infant speaks a thousand languages when he says, "Aaah, mmmnn." He knows every language, but although his parents spoke that way too at one time, they have forgotten. As the child grows, it learns the temporary language of the parents and forgets that original one. The parents teach their child, "We are Arabic. We are Hebrew. We are Telugu. We are English." They teach these temporary languages and the original one leaves. The child acquires the separation of 'you' and 'I', and is taught the relationships of my father, my uncle, my grandfather.
Well, my children, even though we study many languages, they are of no use to us at all. We knew them once before as children and forgot them. Each language is spoken in a specific place. Birds have their languages, all the animals have their languages. Bees have their own language, as do rats, deer, monkeys, men, and donkeys. The child knows and speaks them all. Who taught him this? The child speaks that nonspecific language which is found throughout the world. All God's creations speak this language. The whole world is within the child: the different gases, all those languages, gold, gems and the light of those gems. Grace, beauty, light, and God are inside him too. Everything exists in totality within the child. Even heaven and hell are within him. He must start to examine all these things.
If a child could retain that original speech, he would speak a universal language which everyone understands. And because he could speak everyone's language, he would have no sense of differences. He would think of all lives as his own. Everyone would be his brother or sister. He would trust everyone and love everyone. He would show compassion to every living creature, because he would speak their language and understand. Knowing that original language would enable him to do that. But because he has forgotten this and has learned a temporary language, he thinks, "I am great. This is my religion, that is your religion."
My very precious children, my jeweled lights, we have a world inside us, we have five different gases in us, we have desire which is illusion inside us, gold, mercury, and every conceivable thing. We have every language inside us. So what must we do? We must start by examining this earth within our hearts to discover which crops can be grown there, what kind of cultivation are we capable of, what can we cultivate that will be of use to us, which languages are we going to speak, which language can we use to invite God to us. We have to start digging into these things to understand them. We have to examine and analyze them to discover where the wisdom, the light, and the completeness originate. Once we sort and examine these things, we will discard everything that is not useful, just as God, knowing everything, discarded everything. Once He created everything, God discarded everything. He is humble and all-pervasive, doing His duty to everyone, everywhere. God does not take any of His creations for Himself. He has given up everything, yet He does His duty to everything. He wants no praise, He is neither selfish nor proud, He has no 'I', no 'you', He has none of this. He learned all there is to learn and then discarded it all.
God knows every language and He has discarded them all. He knows every alphabet and He has let them all go. He has let everything go except for one point which is His. That one point is wisdom, and that one point connects us to God. He wants none of our literature or languages, He wants only that atom contained within our hearts. There is a connection between this atom and the mysterious power inside it. God has given up everything else, so what can He do with the languages you offer Him? He has given up literature, so why offer Him writings? He has given up gold, so why try to offer Him gold? He has given up precious gems, so why offer Him gems? What would He do with them? He has given up races, so what can He do with the race you offer Him? He has given up religions, so what can He do with the religion you offer Him? He has given up colors, so what can He do with the color you offer Him? He has given up praise, so what is the point in flattering Him? He has given up selfishness, so what can He do with the selfishness we give Him?
Can we reach that One who has given up countless objects by offering Him what He has discarded? We can never return to Him or merge with Him that way. God has none of that, yet He is complete within each thing He has given up. There is no place where God is not, there is nothing He does not see, nothing He has not created, no justice He has not determined, no life He has not fed. He feeds the grass, the weeds, the shrubs, the evil people, and those who are in hell. He feeds the food of hell to those who are in hell. He feeds the earth with earth. He feeds those who possess the truth with truth, those who have wisdom with wisdom, and those who have His grace with grace. To those who have surrendered to Him, He feeds Himself. He feeds the earth with earth, He feeds water with water, He feeds animals with animals, He feeds insects with insects, He feeds ants with ants, He feeds termites with termites, He feeds fish with fish, and He feeds His food to those who have surrendered to Him.
Each species or category in His creation is fed with the specific food God has reserved for it. That food becomes its own particular food. If we try to hang on to hell, He feeds us the things of hell. If we are arrogant He feeds us arrogance, if we are patient He feeds us patience, if we are wise He feeds us wisdom, if we are truthful He feeds us truth. Truth is the food of the truthful. Our wisdom is God's food, and God's grace is our food.
We must investigate and analyze everything that happens, my precious children. Religion, philosophy, literature, color, race, and scriptures are of no use to us because God has none of that. We are all His children. He is the Father of all His creation. And because He is our Father, He feeds and nourishes us so that we may grow. He is the Father of the grass, the bushes, the sun, the moon, of everyone, of every life. There is only one Father for each and every creation, for each of His countless creations. He provides for them all without attachment. He gives them everything, but nothing He provides remains within Him. He does His duty to everything, but receives nothing from them in return.
My precious children, there is one point for which we must dig with our wisdom, our faith, our prayers, our worship, and our 'ibadat, our devotion. If we want to return to God and merge with Him, then we must examine ourselves and look for that point. We must discard everything from ourselves just as our Father did. The day we do this, we will merge with Him. When we no longer have these colors, races, religions, languages, and literatures inside us, we can meet Him. But if instead, we bundle together the things He has discarded and offer them to Him, He will not accept them. He will throw them away. He threw these things away before and He will throw them away again. If we offer Him our languages, He will throw them away. If we offer Him our colors, He will throw them away. If we offer Him our races, He will throw them away. If we offer Him our gold or our illusion, He will throw them all away. None of these are of use to us.
If we try to profit from the languages we have learned, from the knowledge we have acquired, from our religion or race, nothing will come of it, because God has no use for anything selfish. He does not fight, He has no prejudice, no arrogance, no anger. He does not discriminate. He has no ego. He has none of this. And now that we have separated ourselves from the One who has none of these attributes, how can we return to Him? By imbibing His qualities of patience, tolerance, and tranquillity, and putting them into action. We can come close to God through His qualities. When our wisdom develops and our determination accepts His treasures, we will know God. Until we have the wisdom to acquire that knowledge, our religions, races, and colors will only end in a battle which will destroy our nation, the world, our life, and our birth. That battle will destroy our compassion, our patience, our unity, and our family. This war will destroy our connection to that One God.
It is very difficult to reach God if we have all these wars going on inside. With our devotion in that state, with our faith in that state, with our prayer, meditation, and worship in that state, we can never return to God because He has no battlefield, no armies, no discrimination, no prejudice. He does not notice whether someone is black or white. He gave us the original languages we spoke earlier. Everyone speaks those languages; earth, fire, water, air, and ether all speak those languages. There is a musical note in the air, "Aahaahaahaah." You hear those sounds in the air don't you? "Oohoohoohooh." You can hear that sound in water, can't you, and " Shhhhhhhhhh," the sound in fire. You can hear these sounds in the earth when it quakes, erodes, and resounds, and in the sky when lightning appears and it thunders. All those colors are found in the ether, in maya. All these things are visible, they all exist, do they not? But we cannot go to God with the things we see around us, with the things which exist everywhere.
We have water within us, and fire, and earth, and air. We have ether, colors, and illusions within us. We all have all of this. None of it has left any of us. So what basis do we have for discrimination and prejudice? Satan is in our bile. We all have black dots in our pupils, some have black hair, and some wear black clothes. Everything exists within us. If we want to fight, we have to fight parts of our self first. We have to fight our liver, we have to fight our nostrils. Every color is inside us, blue, black, green, and we have to fight them first. Once we finish those wars, that will most certainly be the end. But if we keep all that inside us, what is the point in fighting on the outside and discriminating against others on the basis of language? Some people feel nauseated when they hear Arabic. Others feel sick when they hear Hebrew, others when they hear English or Tamil or Telugu. Why should these languages make people feel sick? When you retch that way only your own gut comes out. The nauseated person is the one who suffers. As long as we retain whatever makes us feel that nausea, we will experience pain.
Why should we carry our houses on our heads? Enter your house when you need to and come back out again. Do your work, sleep, or sit there, but why should you carry it around? God does not have a house, does He? True knowledge is understanding all this. It will come when you begin to analyze things, when a good crop grows inside you, when the strength of wisdom grows in you, and when you begin to surrender. What does surrender mean? Does it mean going away somewhere to die? No, it is the state in which our qalb, our innermost heart, joins with God's in perfect faith, saying, "0 my God, none of these actions are mine, everything I do belongs to You. There is no place where You are not. All my suffering begins with not seeing You. All my suffering begins with holding on to things inside myself that You do not keep inside You. 0 God, take everything away from me that You have removed from Yourself. I need nothing other than your path. Everything I have which You do not causes me such sorrow, suffering, pain, woe, and misery. It is hell. 0 God, please remove from me those things that are not in You, whatever they may be. 0 my Father, please accept me, and let everything inside me fall away. " That is surrender.
It is our duty to surrender all responsibility to God. Nothing else will do us any good. When will you begin to acquire wisdom? When will you see God? When will you merge with your Father? You will never return to Him through literature, languages, or other such things. You will never find God with the things you keep inside. Discard everything which is not within our Father, and try to bring Him only those things He has in Himself. All the languages you studied, whatever language you pray in, all this is like the salt water of the ocean which can never quench your thirst. You perceive it as water, yet you cannot even bathe in it. The only thing it is good for is to relieve the itching of your body. Salt water is very useful for those who have itching bodies. It is good for the itch of your mind. It is good for illusion or maya which keeps itching to go to the seashore, but it cannot help us come to our Father. To do that we must acquire His qualities and wisdom. Anything else is like the ocean water which will never quench our thirst. All the religions, racial, doctrinal, and linguistic wars, all the fighting because of our birth or our death will never be of any use to us in a million years, because none of these things are found with our Father.
We must analyze ourselves and find God within us. We must have His wisdom. Just as we extract electricity from water, we must take the light from that light of God, take the grace from His grace, extract our Father from our Father. This is what we have to take from Him. This is the most important thing we have to do. That point must merge with that point. Everything else can be discarded. We must think about this.
Precious jeweled lights of my eye, we must come to that place where there is firm determination, wisdom, and prayer, where the Father and His children are together as one. We should think about this. Until that state emerges within us, our knowledge is like a mirage, and all the languages and everything else we have learned in our life is like oil poured on fire. Our knowledge is like oil poured on fire, useless because it will burn. Our actions are like oil poured into hell, like throwing all the decent things we sought in our lives into hell. This is what it is like in hell. Precious jeweled lights, all our flattery, honors, positions, ego, religions, races, writings, and battles are oil poured into hell. Discriminating between this one and that one, between us and them, discriminating on the basis of color--all this is fuel for hell. When you pray with these things, you pray with the oil of hell.
My very precious children, think about this. We have to look within ourselves to see our Father here, within our hearts. We must have God's qualities here in the place where He lives, because the qualities of our Father are here. God's actions must be performed here because He acts here in our hearts. God's light must enter our hearts, and we must bring that light-explanation into action in our hearts. His grace, His treasure, and His house must be built in our hearts. Only then will He live there. This work must be performed here in the heart. We must realize this point for He will let everything else go. This is His point, this is His light which is connected to us. This point is a light, a treasure which exists in everything.
Prayers that come from the heart and actions that come from the heart go directly to Him. Nothing else will be of any use to you at all, my very precious children. Knowledge that does not come from your heart, knowledge or the ability to speak is of no use to you--no matter what you may acquire in the world. Even if with great difficulty you should learn to meditate, or even if you find a spring, your well will run dry when the weather turns warm. When there is a lot of rain and snow the water level will rise, but in hot, sunny weather, your well will go dry. There will be no spring and no water. That kind of knowledge is easy, just saying something is easy, that kind of action is easy, that kind of meditation is easy, like finding springs on the surface of the earth. But you must understand that in the next season the water level will drop and all of these things will be useless. Your knowledge will be useless, your languages, your meditation and your wisdom will be useless. Everything will leave you.
You must find that deep, true spring which is eternal. You must discover the spring which will supply you with water for countless seasons, eternally. And you must distinguish this spring from the springs which rise and fall seasonally. To come to that eternal spring we must go deep, right to that original point, to God. When we reach that point, three springs will appear from which the water will flow eternally. You can never lose that treasure because what comes from those springs is God's point. God has discarded everything else. Only His grace will flow from there, eternally.
Precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, we must think about this. None of the things God has discarded are of any use to us. What we hold onto is the oil which is the fuel for the fire of hell. Our prayers, our worship, our learning, titles, and honors are all merely the oil used to keep the fires burning in hell. Therefore, try very hard to dig deep and find the place which connects you to your Father.
When will we reach that point? When will we have tranquillity? When will we have peace? When will we discard all the things that are not our Father? Only when we have abandoned all these fights over language and all these religious battles, only then will we receive that treasure from God. My very precious children, my jeweled lights, this treasure is called wisdom. It is called grace. We must find that place and release those springs which will flow with the grace of our Father, the grace of His light and His wisdom.
Precious children, nothing else will be of any use to us. What point is there in working hard for anything else? That is inviting the very disease which will destroy us. We must discard these things, my children, and go on the path to God. We must try very hard to find that one true place. That will be good, my children.
My love to you. Amin. Amin. I give my love to all my children. My love and my greetings. If there is any fault in what I have said, please forgive me. My love.

Knowing "Your Current Worship".
Bawa. As Explained In "God-Talking Comment 13", In Truth For You, And In Truth For All of My Children, Without Exception, “Your Self/Body/Behavior/
Presence/Word/Prayer/Advice/Understanding/Worship” Is Not As You Now “See It”, Or As You Now “Believer In It”, Or As You Now “Understand It”, Or As You Now “Experience It”, Or As You Now “Pray To It”, Or As You Now “Do Duty & Service To It”, Or As You Now Expect To “Have It” Both In “This World” And in “Your Next World”, And Now Most Importantly, As You Now Expect To “Have It” In “Your Grave”, That Is, As “One With” It, if you like, and that is for sure.

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim -
In “The Name of God”,
The Most Merciful,
The Most Compassionate.
His Holiness Teaches Us:
Amin. O God, You are peace. Amin. May You grant us peace with Your grace. Amin. O God, You are limitless grace and incomparable love, You give us the never-ending wealth of grace, You are our Father. How can we ever praise You? You who have no equal, You who cannot be compared with any visible example, how can we ever praise You? You are that boundless love and grace.
O God, You accept love as love without accepting praise as praise. How can we return Your love and Your compassion, O God? What can we do in return for Your love, Your duty, and Your actions undertaken without the slightest attachment or partiality?
Allah, exalted be Your name. O God, You fill each heart so full, and no matter how much we take, You are not diminished by even one drop. 0 God, You are the ocean of love, the ocean of wealth and grace, the ocean of good actions, qualities, and duties, aspect after aspect, each infinite and limitless. Even if each creation fills the vessel of its heart with You, Your qualities, actions, goodness, compassion, and virtue remain full forever. They are not diminished by even a single drop.
Almighty One, ever complete in His duty, Ill-Alahu, You are God, the One who is alone, who has no hunger, who was never born, who has no illness, no desire, no maya, no mind, no confusion, the One who is life within all life, doing His duty for every life in His creation. 0 my Rabb, my Lord, mighty and pure, You are my Creator, the One who is complete perfection. My Father, with what tongue can we praise You? Can this tongue ever be sufficient? My God, may You bless us with the full and perfect way to worship You. Amin.
My very precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, born with me as the body within my body, children born as the life within my life, my precious children who are the light of my eyes, my very precious children who comfort me as the heart within my heart, my loving children who are the one true life among the six kinds of lives in God's creation, my precious children, may God protect and sustain us. Amin. May God protect us, dispel our inner darkness, and fill us with the resplendent light of His grace. Amin. May He bless us with the fullness of His qualities and actions which have neither comparison nor equal. Amin.
My very precious children, let us speak further about the language and qualities of the child. My precious children, when a baby emerges from its mother, it cries, "Amma, Amma!" That sound gladdens the mother's heart and brings joy to all those nearby. Isn't it a sound which makes everyone want to pick up the child and kiss it? Isn't it a sound which makes everyone happy? Does it make people cry? Certainly not. In fact, the same kind of sound is also made by sheep, by cows, and by many other animals. No matter what language you speak, that sound brings coolness, comfort, and gladness to the heart. Even though a mother may suffer and scream in pain and torment, even though she may come close to death when giving birth, as soon as she hears the sound of the baby's cry, she is soothed, she forgets all her pain, and her heart is comforted. She lifts the child to her heart, embraces it, and kisses it as soon as she hears that sound.
In just the same way God is both our Father and our Mother. How much pain He suffers to deliver us from this world of ignorance, from this world of sin, this world of karma, this world of anger! He has such a heavy burden to endure. Indeed, He carries all our burdens for us, and He shares all our suffering and torment in this world. He shares our pain and suffers the burden of carrying us.
When we emerge from this world of the five elements, this world of desire, mind, karma, anger, jealousy, and arrogance which all try to swallow us, if we say, "Amma," or, ''My Father, my God!'' that sound immediately soothes Him. It brings coolness and comfort, not only to God, our Father, but to all living creatures. They want to gather us to their hearts, to kiss and embrace us. Even if we have committed so many faults, so many sins, and caused so much suffering, even if we live forgetting our Father who is God, even if we despise God, even if we deny the existence of God, even if we scold God, see how tolerant He is. He continues to do His duty no matter what we do. Even though our parents may forget us, God comes to help and protect us no matter where we are. We must understand how God protects us. If we understand that, we will know how He lives with us, always helping and protecting us. We will realize ourselves and Him.
My very precious children, a newborn child speaks so many languages, but it is not understood by its mother or father or even by those who are profoundly learned. The little ones speak millions of languages--the language of the crane, the dog, the cat, the monkey, the languages of man--yet the only ones who can understand are other babies. In the first year and a half of life, an infant runs the gamut of all languages and sounds. The monkey is inside, man is inside, the entire world is there inside the baby. It speaks the language of jinns, fairies, angels, gnanis and the language of God. It speaks every language, even the rustling of the ant, the buzzing of the mosquito, and the humming of the bees. The baby speaks all their languages and is a friend to every creature--the birds are its friends and it plays happily with them, even the snake is its friend. This universal language makes the baby everyone's friend. It has no prejudice and it makes no distinctions of color or whatever.
No matter where we take a baby, it knows the language of God. Others may not comprehend, but God understands. God hears the baby's voice, and every voice that floats on the wind is understood by the baby. Unity understands, compassion understands, the child understands, and all other beings understand these languages. Man alone does not understand. Why is that? Because man has changed. Man has forgotten the language that others have not.
If two babies are brought together, they speak to each other; they make some kind of noise. They understand each other and become friends. No matter what part of the world they may come from, the two of them will start to play together. They become friends no matter what color they may be. Bring a baby from the east and leave it with a baby from the west, and they will talk in their common language; bring another baby from the north or the south, and they will speak their common language. The baby understands every possible language because it understands unity, peace, happiness, and joy. That language is understood by the baby alone. It does not speak the temporary languages of the world which human beings have learned; instead it knows all the original languages and speaks with joy and happiness, without sorrow or suffering. All its languages bring unity and happiness, and the baby lives in and enjoys that unity.
Because the baby knows the language of every living creature, it can speak to any life that comes near it. The baby even has a language to converse with God. Even if we have learned all the languages of the world, if we want to converse with God we must become a baby and learn that original language, the original words, the original unity, peace, and equality, the language we spoke when we were born, the language which the world cannot recognize. We can speak to God with this language, but our mothers and fathers will not understand it; religions, racial prejudice, philosophies, scriptures, and literature will not comprehend. That language will not be understood by any knowledge that has been nurtured in the world. The world will look upon us as dreaming, blind men who cannot describe what they see. The language we spoke when we were babies is understood only by our Father who is God and by those who live in peace and equality.
When we speak this language, when we discover that equality, that peace, that justice, that unity, and that exalted state, when we are like babies, when we live as little children and behave as little children, what do we find? We find peace and tranquillity. We find the unity and love which embraces everyone. We may totter and fall while embracing each other, but we will do so in unity and love. This is the quality of our play as God's children--we play with Him, and He understands our language, our speech, and our wisdom. This is the language we can use to converse with God, our Father. These are the qualities we must have to live in His kingdom. This is His speech, these are His qualities, and this is the state in which He lives. We must acquire that state in this world. We must embrace all lives as our own life and look after every living creature as we look after ourselves, as does the baby who hands some of its food to another child or even takes food from its own mouth to give it to another. Just as babies live with these qualities in that state, we too can live with our Father if we have these qualities. This is the language He understands, this is the love He understands, this is the justice and the judgment He knows. If we have these qualities, we will understand the language we need to converse with Him.
My very precious children, that is what we call being a baby, being a little child. My very precious children, we must learn this language and acquire the good qualities and the happiness of this language. We must understand the clarity, the meaning, and the peace of this language. My precious children, the state we call infancy is a state in which we try to reach God's state, try to learn everything from God, to acquire the qualities of God, to be one with God, and to know ourselves.
We must keep on being students, learning. As long as we remain students, we are prepared to learn. As long as we live in peace, happiness, and unity, as long as we live as one race, as long as we live in harmony and unity, we can call ourselves little babies. The feeling of '1' will have left us, ego will have left, selfishness will have left, and any sense of difference or prejudice will have left. Vanity will be gone, anger will be gone, hatred will be gone, hastiness will be gone, and the sense of my race, your race, my religion, your religion will be gone. The feeling that my language and my writing are different from yours will be gone. Just as that little baby speaks all languages in unity, we must become students and try to understand the meaning of all the languages we spoke earlier. We must understand the truth and unity in that language, the equality and happiness we perceived in it. We must extract the meaning and explanation of everything we said during that time.
My precious children, if we do become students, discarding our selfishness, our pride and vanity, our anger, the discrimination among languages and all the temporary things we learned, then we can really begin to learn. As long as we remain students, we will never grow old. As long as we are prepared to learn we will stay young, never aging. But the moment we say, "I have studied and I know," we begin to grow old. As soon as we stop being a student, we begin to age. The moment we let ourselves be praised as an important person, we grow old. When we are vain and proud, we do not allow further learning. The moment we become a teacher instead of a student, we grow old. The moment we become a swami, our learning is finished. We grow old, the Angel of Death appears, and we have to face Judgment Day. The moment we stop being a student, we age, time passes, our intelligence disappears, all the benefits of our life retreat, and we are left to face our Judgment Day.
My dear children, if we can remain as students, we will remain eternally young in the state of a baby. We will speak like a baby and grow in the protection of God, our Father. God will lift us up, embrace us, and speak to us. He understands that language, He understands that love, and He will feed us with the milk of His love. As long as we continue to learn we can dwell in the presence of God and be with Him. We will live in His presence, and it will become His duty to raise us. But the moment we become a teacher, praiseworthy, learned, a guru, a swami, we forfeit God's protection. Then what? The only thing left for us is the Angel of Death and satan instead of God. There is only hell for us after that, only maya, vanity, pride, anger, selfishness, all the praise and doubt of the world, all the treachery, deceit, trickery, and hypocrisy of saying things we do not feel. We are left with these qualities the moment we stop learning. This is hell.
If we stop learning, all the passion, anger, miserliness, envy, greed, fanaticism, arrogance, karma, maya, intoxicants, lust, murder, theft, and falsehood which left while we were learning will return to attach themselves to us again. Hell will come back to us and we will age. The Angel of Death is certain to follow, and our lives will be poured like oil onto the fires of hell. However, my precious children, as long as we are babies, as long as we are prepared to learn, we speak every language, we comprehend every language, and we are able to comfort every life. We are able to converse with every life, with the sparrows and all the birds, with cattle and goats, with snakes and scorpions. We can speak to all God's creations. As soon as they see these good qualities, God's love and His actions, as soon as they see that happiness, every creature will bow in obeisance. Birds and animals will bow down, and they will love us and come to play without fear.
We must realize that it is in this state that we can live with God and that it is truth which understands the baby's language. Only if we are like babies do we remain young. Only then do we have a place in the kingdom of God, remaining eternally young, without death, without rebirth, without perishing or being destroyed. In that state, we are not governed by time and we are without want. We are that mystery, that secret which is the only secret, the only mystery, the only power which is God, our Father. We must realize this and think about it. No matter how much we study, we must resolve to continue learning. We must want to live with our Father and be one with our Father. We must love all lives as our own, love our neighbors and our brothers as ourselves, and comfort and show compassion to every living creature. When such qualities come into us, God will understand our language. He will hear our sounds, and He will understand our speech, our wisdom, our love, our unity, and our peacefulness.
My very precious children, youth is being a student. Youth is learning. It is a state of peace and equality, a state in which we can be one with our Father and live with our Father. Youth is a state in which God who is both our Father and our Mother never leaves us. He protects us and looks after us. If we could only think about this, my very precious children, and try to live in this state, understanding what this language means. We must try to understand and speak that language. Then God will understand. That is the baby's state, the student's state. We must be eternal babies and learn the language of heaven, the secrets of heaven, the secrets of God, God's qualities, His actions, and the wealth of His grace. We must learn the mystery that is God's. We must learn every aspect of His qualities and duties, everything about Him, everything He does. God speaks every language and feeds each of His creations according to its need. He speaks to each life and each creation. We, too, must learn to speak that language again.
But when we do this the world will not understand. People with racial or color prejudice and people with religious bias will not understand. This language is not understood by the world or by worldly institutions. They will say, "We don't know what this baby is babbling about. He is talking unintelligibly. But never mind, let's show our love to him, pat him on the head, and move on." We can be certain that the language we use to talk to God will not be understood by the world. Our present state of ignorance, passion, and arrogance will not understand that language. Our envy, our racial and color prejudice, our fanaticism, our bigotry, and the knowledge we have acquired from books will not understand. Only when we become babies and continue to learn will we understand. This is the way to acquire eternal youth. If we remain as babies and keep learning, we will live in the presence of God, our Father. If we try to become wise, we will live with our Father and we will never leave Him, we will never need to say farewell. Then we will be able to speak to our Father, we will understand His language, and He will give us His commandments.
However, my dearest children, if we say, "I am great," or ''These are mine,'' if we proudly say, ''I have studied, I am a leader, I have status and influence, I have come to rule the world," then by praising ourselves we separate ourselves from God; we leave our Father and go to hell. As long as we stay with Him, we are a baby and a student, we have patience, equality, peacefulness, and tolerance. But if we leave that state, we pass into divisiveness, doubt, suspicions, the desire of satan, and the antics and pranks of the monkey-mind. We are fascinated by the hypnotic display of maya. It is a time of darkness when we desire earth, gold, and sensual pleasures, and we are divided from God, our Father. We must work hard to stay with Him, to be little children willing to learn, willing to ask our Father, willing to learn His language.
My very precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes who are the life within my life, we must think about this. We are wasting our lives. Shouldn't we always be like little babies? Shouldn't we always stay with our Father? Shouldn't we remain with our Father, never leaving Him? The only time we have any happiness is when we are with Him. When we have understanding, we have unity and peace. Whether there is joy or sorrow, we live happily and harmoniously with everyone, speaking and understanding every language, realizing everything. That time of babyhood is eternal youth, when we have that beauty of the heart and body, that beauty of the face, the beauty of wisdom, and the beauty of unity, and everyone picks us up to embrace us with love.
We must not forfeit our youth and be transformed into an old age of vanity, pride, and qualities which are not God's. That is what old age is: the qualities of satan, a dark, black face, a face which speaks with envy and jealousy and reveals the qualities of the dog of desire and the monkey which makes us say what we do not feel inside. It is a hard, black, granite heart without compassion, riddled with holes where snakes live. God does not dwell in a place where there is so much darkness. God's qualities are like the baby's, but satan's qualities are those of pride. God's qualities, His language, and His speech bring comfort and peace. They display compassion for everyone. His language is the language of love, of grace and unity, the language which speaks to all creations, which plays with everyone and makes them happy. This is God's love. Satan's love is discrimination, differences, murder, separations, I am greater than you, I ain bigger than you, desire for praise, treachery, vengeance, the qualities of the lion, the tiger, and the bear, killing one another, eating another life. These divisive forces which attack and hurt others, these qualities of hell which tear others to bits and eat them, these qualities of fire which burn everything-- these are the qualities of satan, the qualities which point to the aging which points to death and burning in hell. These are the qualities which divide us from God.
My very dear children, let us think about this separation from our Father. The secret of not separating from our Father is to remain a student, a baby who knows all languages. Those who are older are separated from that speech, from those good qualities, and from their Father. They have gone to hell. We must realize that there are endless secrets to be learned about our Father, about His limitless love, and about the infinite, undiminishing wealth of His grace. His mystery is far beyond our wisdom. There is so much to learn, so much to investigate within His mystery, His wealth, His grace, His infinite duties, and the joy of those duties. There is so much to see and learn. To learn all this we must be students, we must go on learning, we must remain as babies. As we become young and stay young, we acquire that beauty, and as we go on learning, the love of our Father grows inside us. As that love grows, He embraces us more and more. As He holds us closer, more of His light pours into us, and as that light pours into us, the darkness recedes and we receive the love of every creation. We must think about this.
Precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, always keep trying to regain that eternal youth so that you can learn from God, our Father. He knows and understands your language. Learn that language which is your Father's; then you will understand Him. Let us remain eternally young through that common language and never leave our Father. The world will not understand, even our own father and mother will not understand. No one except God will comprehend that language, that secret, the secret of your prayers, the secret of your learning, the secret of the wealth of His grace, of unity, of peace, of equality, the secret of your life, the secret of your Father, the secret of never perishing, of never dying, of having no birth, no death, the secret of eternal youth. These are the secrets you will learn if you are eternally a student. These are secrets no one else knows.
My very dear children, if you want to attain that state of peace and tranquillity, you must learn the language of God, your Father. He alone will understand; others will not. Let the world keep its books, its languages and separations. God does not understand the languages the world uses. The language spoken by one person is not understood by the next; this is the way of the world. Only satan can make sense of these divisive languages, but what a true student says is understood by God. Every child must think about this. My very precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, if we do this as babies, if we reflect on this as babies, we will achieve the benefit of this birth, eternal youth, peace, and equality. Every child, please think about this.
Just as electricity is extracted from water, just as we breathe in a tiny magnetic bit from the air which sustains life, just as we discover precious gems buried in the earth, just as we take the light from the sun and draw the coolness of the moon through the ether, we must throw away the darkness of our desires and extract that tiny atom of God's grace and wealth. Just as we extract the essence of the five elements, earth, fire, water, air, and ether, we must extract peace from the body, compassion from God, and learning from His mystery. This is the way to understand with wisdom, the way to develop the wisdom which extracts the essence of each thing.
We must use the wisdom we have to understand each thing, extract its essence, and learn from it. We must learn, my very precious children. We must take the necessary understanding from every book we read. We must take the point from every letter we look at. We must extract the essence of everything we see just as we extract and use the essence of the medicine we might take. Even if we are ill, we must discard the pain and take in only peace and understanding. In just this way, my very precious children, a little baby takes in only the point. Like that, we must take in that point of God's qualities from everything we see, extracting only the point and discarding everything else.
Just as we are unable to understand what a baby says, the world does not understand what God says. Only those who are the right age can do that. When a baby speaks God hears, and when God speaks the baby understands. We must develop that embracing love, that peacefulness which has no selfishness. But only that point will understand, my dearest children, and that is called youth, eternal youth. Only then are we young. Only then are we students living with our Father as young children must.
We must remember, my precious children, if we stay in the presence of our Father our beauty will never fade, we will never age. Our sense of unity, of peacefulness, justice, duty, and righteousness will never leave us. As long as we have that beauty, we will never age and our bodies will never change or grow old. Please think about this, my very dear children. This is what we have to learn. This is what we have to extract and understand from all that we do. To understand this and to be students, we must begin to understand the language of God. We spoke it when we were infants, didn't we? That is the language that cools every heart. The words we used in the first year or two of life were God's language and God's qualities. We must transform ourselves into students of that age; only then will we understand the mysterious secret of God's wisdom, His qualities, and His actions.
My dearest children, be quite certain that as long as we fail to reach that state of babyhood we are divided from God and we are aging. We must not accept this aging that separates us from God. We must not take on those qualities that keep us from Him. Instead we should try to hold on to the youthfulness which keeps us with God and never separates us from Him. Then we will remain in our Father's kingdom. The moment we leave Him, we are in the kingdom of hell. We should never leave His presence or His kingdom.
Precious children, each one of you please think about this and try to establish this state. Please be students living with our Father, taking on His qualities. Try to acquire wisdom in a state of freedom and liberation. This is the state of our soul, the freedom of our soul, the resplendent light of freedom. We must not waste our time or throw it away. We must use it to learn the speech and the qualities of our Father. Let us try very hard to remain with Him and never leave.
May we live as students always in His presence. May every child reflect on this. My precious children, try to learn that language, and never, never think of yourself as great or famous. As long as there is more to investigate, we are students. The moment we complete all our research we become God and we receive the kingdom of God. But until our research is finished we must continue to learn, and the only way to truly learn is to remain with Him. He is the king, and you must remain with Him as His young prince or princess, learning as a student until He crowns you. We must learn. We must try to attain this peace and equality with God's qualities and unity. That is the best kind of learning.
The language our Father understands, the language the baby understands, is understood by no one else. Truth is not understood by the world, by books, by religions or philosophies. The speech of the eternal student, the eternal youth, is no more intelligible to the world than a baby's. That one mysterious language is the mystery we must try to learn. My precious children, as you continue to understand more and more, the world might bite you, scold you, or chase you away. Even a mother doesn't understand the baby's language, but that is the way of the world. Until the baby learns what the mother imposes on it and says what the mother wants, until the mother makes the baby think as she thinks and speak her own language, she does not understand. Until then only God, the true Father, understands.
God provides the language, the understanding, the food, the truth, the freedom, the liberation of the soul, justice, and judgment. This is what we must learn from our Father. No one else will understand; the world will never understand that language. Why not? Because the world only knows the temporary languages it learns for this temporary life. The world will only understand if we speak its language. If we remain with God, only He will understand.
My very precious children, may we understand this and find a way to search for wisdom, to have peace of mind, lasting happiness, and the kingdom of heaven. May we find a way to stay there eternally. Amin. May God grant us this blessing with His grace. All wealth, all grace is with God, our Father. All wisdom, all treasures are His. The age of eternal youth is with Him. May we reach that age of no separation from Him, may we take on the beauty of being students, may we understand that subtle mystery. Amin.
May God bless us with His grace and His qualities. Amin.May He bless us with His actions. Amin.May He bless us with His conduct and His unity, may He give us His compassion, and may He give us truth and that life which never leaves Him. May He gather us to His heart, accept us as babies, and protect us. Amin.
