Our Reality - by putting down what we are still carrying within us, which is the world, ourselves as "separate from" God, ourselves as "separate from" our brother and sisters, and ourselves as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and by picking up what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and God within Him, is doing within us, which is revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us 8. Understanding The Agreement Between God and America - which we are about to break, when "America Invades Iraq", which is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, if we, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) don't step forward to teach America, and the world both within and "outside" of us, to join with the wisdom for this age, and the truth of God within that wisdom, in order to "reason over our fate" 9.

About The Meeting in Toronto, Canada, on February 22 & 23, 2003 - it is the start of the journey to Baghdad, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us returning to Baghdad, but this time as the "Justice of Conscience", not the "Justice of Man", as He did 1000 years ago 11. About Traveling Together To Toronto, Canada, This Weekend - please send us an E-mail if you want to go, or to help, or to support our effort in any way that feels right in your heart. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar 12. Closing Comments & Prayer - may we all choose "Oneness with" God, not "separation from" God, the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, now we have to choose "Oneness with" Him, rather than continuing on our current path, our life of "separation and differences", that will only lead us to the angel of Death, the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and eventually to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only true hell Text of Spiritual Letter: 1. Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 45 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers Willem Thambi, Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), Dr. Ganesan, Ahamad Kabeer, and my dearest loving sister Mrs. Ganesan - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). We are all so very blessed by God, by the grace of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to have each other, and to have the love and support of all of the brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. We will start off this Spiritual Letter by first calling on Bawa within us, and on God within Him to come out of our innermost heart within us, which is where They live within us, and come into our mind and desire, which is where we currently live within us, and, "Teach us what we do not know". By reciting: The 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): "O Bawa, O God, You are Allah. "O Bawa, O God, There is nothing other than You." "O Bawa, O God, Without You there is no help, because I do not exist." "O Bawa, O God, You are with me. Be inside my heart." "O Bawa, O God, Do not be separate from me." [Note: to read a brief history of the development of these 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), please click on the following: Spiritual Prayer 02. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. Information For Willem Thambi - we don't have a passport, and is an expired drivers license ID Ok? Either way, God will provide Dear Willem Thambi, my dearest loving brother, we got your E-mail about the tickets, and your E-mail to Dr. Ganesan, and to Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), and we have the following information. First, the name on my passport is Louis Beutler, not Louie Beutler. Second, do we actually need a passport or is my driver license ID enough. Crisi and I are not sure where my passport is, since we have not used it since we traveled to Mecca about 5 years ago. Also, my driver license ID is not current, since we have not driven a car for the last few years. However, we did use the expired driver license ID the last time we went to Canada to visit with you and Hussein and it was accepted by the immigration agent at the Canadian border. Please let us know. But either way, it is Ok. God will most certainly provide. 3. Note To Dr. Ganesan - we must become clear on "who we are", and this child will always be your younger brother Dear Dr. Ganesan. My love you my dearest loving brother. We hope you and your family have been well and find your life at the Fellowship helpful on the path of God. Always keep in mind the truth of our life, that "who we are" is what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God within Him), and God within Him, are doing within us. We are not the drama of our life of "separation and differences" which in truth is but our karma, or our fate, or our destiny. May we all learn to join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, so They can "reason over our fate" both within and "outside" of us. Only then can we be successful in our life, and deal with the Final Destruction facing all of us living in this age. For as Bawa teaches us so beautifully on page 111, Chapter 30, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body", in the beautiful book of wisdom given to us by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom", after singing us the beautiful song, "Fate Rules Me With a Show of Scenes, What Will My Conscience Do To Me In The World", "Son, (your karma, or fate, or destiny) will thus make you do many other things." "After a man is born, it is said by everybody that his life is controlled by fate. But Son, it is not so. Life is the victory of wisdom reasoning over fate." My dearest loving older brother, Dr. Ganesan, we will always remember the love that you have given this child over the years, and we will always remain your little brother. Please give my love and salams to Mrs. Ganesan, and to your family and friends. They are always in my prayers. We are all truly God's "Funny Little Family". 4. The Significance of Our Trip To Toronto, Canada - to explore and start to come to grips with the inner meanings of the Final Destruction that we are all soon to experience, if that be our true intention We are very excited about our upcoming trip to Canada, and sincerely pray to God that you, your family, and all of our brothers and sisters at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship find it in their hearts to join with their brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) in Canada this coming Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23, to explore and start to come to grips with the inner meanings of the Final Destruction that we are all soon to experience, as beautifully explained to us, if we truly want to hear it, in the adventure story given to us by His Holiness, called "Maya Veeram or The Forces of Illusion", starting with the beautiful "Preface to the English Edition" where Bawa teaches us on page xiv, "Every human being must strengthen his faith to understand the final destruction, to know how injustice will ultimately destroy injustice, and how truth and justice will save those with faith in God." 5. We Must Discover The One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - that has been hidden by God within each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for this age, and join with our brothers and sisters to become One with that Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God, both within us and "outside" of us In this way, may we all come to the realization that we did not sit at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) for our own salvation, but rather for the salvation of everyone else, who in truth are all living within us, for the salvation of all of our brothers and sisters living in the world today, which in truth is everyone living in the world today. Only then will our having met Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) be of any value to us, or to anyone else, either now, or at our time of death, because that is how it works, because that is how in truth God works within us, because that is how the wisdom and truth of God operates within us, for the benefit of all of us, within us, not for the benefit of any of "us" as "separate from" God, or as "separate from" each other, or as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of us, even before we came to this dunya or earth world, not for the benefit of "us" or our brothers and sister living a dream life on the "outside" of us, not for the benefit of a few of us, or of a special group of us living together on the "outside" of us. May we all realize this. May we all come to know this now, before it is too late, and come together as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both within us and "outside" of us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed by the "beast" within one of us, by learning to put in front of the world what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) has put in front of us. Which is God and the "stuff of God" both within us, and "outside" of us, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is the gift of God for our age, and the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is the gift within the gift of God for our age. Only then will our life become successful. May we all come to know this now. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 6. The Final Chapter In The Life And Teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - is the Children of God for this age explaining the Final Destruction to all of mankind, before it is too late, ushering in akhirah or the hereafter for all of us And as this One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that is growing within each of us, within the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for this age, within each of the Children of God for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), may we all drive up together this week or weekend to Toronto, Canada, to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Toronto, Canada, that was established personally by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) many years ago, and re-affirm our true Fellowship, and the true destiny of our soul. And in this way, start the final chapter in the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in the world, which is the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) explaining the Final Destruction of Man to the world, before it is too late, before we die, and before the "beast" growing within all of us finally comes out of one of us, and prematurely destroys the "outside" for all of us, destroying any chance of any of us getting it right before we die. In this way, starting in Toronto, Canada, this weekend, then in subsequent months taking this true "Reality Show" to Boston, to New York, to Connecticut, to Vermont, and to Washington, and then onto Iowa and California, ending in America with a wonderful week of clarity and "Oneness of Purpose" in Philadelphia, like Muhammad (Sal.) returning to Mecca, then onto Sri Lanka, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina, in the next year. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Solidifying in this way, the true Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within each of us, revealing the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within each of us, which is all of us living, moving, and acting as One within each of us, rather than living as separate lives, with separate families, and separate ideas, intentions, duties, and agendas, with separate understandings of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). May God grant us His grace, His light, and His help to do this, in our life time, before it is too late. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 7. Making This Last Chapter of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Our Reality - by putting down what we are still carrying within us, which is the world, ourselves as "separate from" God, ourselves as "separate from" our brother and sisters, and ourselves as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and by picking up what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and God within Him, is doing within us, which is revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us My dearest loving older brothers, Willem Thambi, Dr. Ganesan, and Ahamad Kabeer, and my dearest loving older sister, Mrs. Ganesan, and my dearest loving younger brother Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), and all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, please join with your brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) to do this Divine Work. Please join with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) in the One open heart of God for our age, the heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to make this last Chapter of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in the world our reality, our life, and our true fate, the true destiny of our soul. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 8. Understanding The Agreement Between God and America - which we are about to break, when "America Invades Iraq", which is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, if we, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) don't step forward to teach America, and the world both within and "outside" of us, to join with the wisdom for this age, and the truth of God within that wisdom, in order to "reason over our fate" We must all come together to realize what is confronting us in the world today, to understand our Final Destruction, and how to escape it. For example, we have just experienced the destruction of the Space Shuttle over Texas, the blizzard of 2003, all of which could have destroyed all of us, except for God's intervention, because He is not done trying to get us to put down what we are carrying, which is our life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within Us, our life of "separation and differences" that we are all currently living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. Because He is not done trying to get us to pick up the true destiny of our soul, to pick up the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) has lovingly planted within each of us. And it seems we are about to experience the "Invasion of Iraq by America", which could be the final straw that breaks the camels back, and finally turns God away from us, from the special status of America in the world today, finally breaking the agreement that our founding fathers made with God that literally created America, and allowed it to grow and prosper for over 200 years, despite all of evil things done in the world by America, and all of the attacks by its enemies. The agreement to freely allow for the election of a new president every four years, to freely turn over the right to rule America to the people, to allow them to again select a new president every four years, and the promise not to use the prosperity of America, that naturally flows out of this first promise, to arrogantly harm any other country, the promise to go to war only to defend America from our enemies, not to gain a competitive advantage over our neighbors, as is sadly about to happen. Such is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, that only our wisdom can reason over, if we, as the Children of God for this age, for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in maturity is the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), will but join with our wisdom, and with the truth of God hidden within our wisdom, if we will but join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to reason over the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, and of the rest of the world, before it is too late. And for this to happen in our life time, before it is too late for any of us, we must put down our "separation and differences" once and for all, and then come together as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) that is now growing within each of us, in order to do this Divine Work. We must hand all of our differences, our "individuality", our "uniqueness", our "personal lives", our "private lives", to God as His Problem, with the intention that He solve His problem, which is "us" living "separate from" Him within us, which is each of us living "separate lives", with "separate families", and with "separate ideas, intentions, duties, and agendas". May God give us His grace, light, and help, to do this, to do this now, before another day. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 9. Learning To Nourish The Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy Within Us - by learning to nourish others rather than ourselves, by learning to make us the nourish of others rather than others the nourishment of us My dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all do this now. May God give us the grace of His wisdom to do this now, in our life time, before it is too late. And may God open our hearts and our eyes to see this truth of our lives, to see the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) growing within each of us, and to properly set us into action in order to nourish this "Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy" within us, by nourishing everyone else through us, by nourishing everyone else at the expense of us, rather than nourishing "us" as "separate from" everyone else. Rather than nourishing "us" at the expense of everyone else, so this "Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy" hidden within each of us by God, can come to maturity within us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed, allowing "us" as "One with" God within us to come to maturity within us, first as our Iman and Qurban, as "True Faith or Belief" and "True Self Sacrifice" within us, which is our 4th and 5th levels of wisdom, which is Abraham and Ishmael (peace be upon Them) within us, then as the wisdom within our Iman, which is Moses, David, Jesus (peace be upon Them) within is, and then as Muhammad (Sal.) within us, as our 6th level of wisdom, as Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, the wisdom that explains within us. And as God's help, as the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within our wisdom, which is our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (Ral.) within us, and the Nur Muhammad within Him, as the Shepherd and the Tree within us, as the light of our wisdom within us, allowing Worship or True Prayer to occur within us, which as Bawa teaches us, on page 49, Chapter 13, "The Four Ways of Worship", in the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Worship is the most supreme form of a sacred act". Finally revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, allowing True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, revealing in this way the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 10. About The Meeting in Toronto, Canada, on February 22 & 23, 2003 - it is the start of the journey to Baghdad, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us returning to Baghdad, but this time as the "Justice of Conscience", not the "Justice of Man", as He did 1000 years ago My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, may we all do this now, before it is too late, and may we all make our traveling together by car to Toronto, Canada, this week, or this weekend, our first collective step in that direction, in order to plan, attend, and conduct the following Fellowship meetings on Saturday and Sunday: Saturday 22, February 2003: 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm --- first session 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm --- dinner 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm --- second session Sunday 23, February 2003: 4:30 am --- salat and zikr 10:30 am to 1:00 --- third session All are welcome, admission is free. Phone: 416-636-9034 Address: 21 York Downs Drive, Toronto, Canada (running East off Bathurst between Wisdom and Sheppard) Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 11. About Traveling Together To Toronto, Canada, This Weekend - please send us an E-mail if you want to go, or to help, or to support our effort in any way that feels right in your heart. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar If you would like to travel with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) by car to Toronto, Canada, and help arrange for others to do the same, please send us an E-mail, using one or both of following E-mail addresses. We are currently planning to go up tomorrow, this Wednesday, at 1 pm by plane. However, if the interest is there, we will drive up instead. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. After Wednesday, sent your E-mail to Willem Poolman, at Macpool@on.aibn.com. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 1) Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com 2) Macpool@on.aibn.com In this way, providing yourself, and your time and energy, or whatever you may have available at this time, to this Divine Endeavor, in order to collectively awaken our "true belief in God", that transcends our individual belief in God, which in truth is but another facet of our arrogance, karma, and illusion, of our "separation from" God. In this way, allowing us to fall into the "Us", and in the process destroy the "you and I", allowing us to collectively revive the "pure light of truth" within your very own heart, which is the guarantee of the "Muhaiyaddeen of God" for this age, of the gift of God for this age, which is the gift of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both within and "outside" of us, and of the gift within the gift of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with each of Us). Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 12. Closing Comments & Prayer - may we all choose "Oneness with" God, not "separation from" God, the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, now we have to choose "Oneness with" Him, rather than continuing on our current path, our life of "separation and differences", that will only lead us to the angel of Death, the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and eventually to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only true hell of life My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must realize without the slightest doubt, that in each age God comes to us as the ultimate challenge, the ultimate struggle, the ultimate sacrifice, and many are called but few are chosen, and of those who are chosen few among them can "endure the cure", can go the distance. For the cure is God, and only God, not "us", not "us" as "separate from" God, and the one who is cured is also God, and only God, not "us", not "us" as "separate from" God, for in truth the cure of "us" as "separate from" God, is "us" as "One with" God. For in this way, man and God are One, and the cure of us is True Man, and the cure of True Man is God, and the cure of God is us, us on the way to becoming True Man, as an apple fruit and the apple tree are one, and the cure of the apple seed is the apple tree, and the cure of the apple tree is the apple. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. In this way, as God asks and then God answers His own question, the question, "who am I?", which in truth can only be ever asked and answered within us when we become peaceful with our own ending, with the ending of our life as "separate from" God, as an apple seed germinates and reveals the apple tree hidden within it, only when it accepts it own ending, in this way, allowing "us" as "separate from" God to come to an end within us, revealing in this way "us" as "One with" God within us, allowing in this way for God's question and God's answer within us, to become our question and answer within us, and only in this way, are we ever to find peace in our life. Know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly, before it is too late. Because that is the only true purpose of our life, which is to reveal God within us, not to reveal us and/or our brothers and sisters "outside" of us, not to reveal us in any manner or form, even "us" as believers in God, or "us" as lovers of God, or "us" as companions of God, or "us" as Hindus, Fire Worshippers, Christians, Muslims or Jews, or as sufis, or even us as members of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, or finally, even "us" living in heaven near God, for all of this "Us Stuff" is but self worship, not God worship. May we all come to realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of our life, and clearly recognize the difference, the difference between "us" as "separate from" God, and the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Only then, can "our wisdom reason over our fate". Only then will our life be successful. Please give my love and salams to all of your friends and family, my dearest loving brothers Willem Thambi, Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), Dr. Ganesan, Mrs. Ganesan, and Ahamad Kabeer, as well as all of our brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in my prayers. And please share this letter with them. Please do this "Heart's Work". Only then will we become One, only then can we benefit from this letter, as only in our sharing of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), will we have truly received the gift of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is the gift of God for our age, and only in our sharing of the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), will we have truly receive the gift of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), which is the gift within the gift of God for our age. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.

Understanding The Agreement Between God and America - which we are about to break, when "America Invades Iraq", which is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, if we, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) don't step forward to teach America, and the world both within and "outside" of us, to join with the wisdom for this age, and the truth of God within that wisdom, in order to "reason over our fate" 9. Learning To Nourish The Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy Within Us - by learning to nourish others rather than ourselves, by learning to make us the nourish of others rather than others the nourishment of us 10. About The Meeting in Toronto, Canada, on February 22 & 23, 2003 - it is the start of the journey to Baghdad, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us returning to Baghdad, but this time as the "Justice of Conscience", not the "Justice of Man", as He did 1000 years ago 11. About Traveling Together To Toronto, Canada, This Weekend - please send us an E-mail if you want to go, or to help, or to support our effort in any way that feels right in your heart. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar 12. Closing Comments & Prayer - may we all choose "Oneness with" God, not "separation from" God, the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, now we have to choose "Oneness with" Him, rather than continuing on our current path, our life of "separation and differences", that will only lead us to the angel of Death, the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and eventually to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only true hell Text of Spiritual Letter: 1. Introduction - to Spiritual Letter 45 Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim. In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. My love you (anbu), my dearest loving brothers Willem Thambi, Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), Dr. Ganesan, Ahamad Kabeer, and my dearest loving sister Mrs. Ganesan - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). We are all so very blessed by God, by the grace of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to have each other, and to have the love and support of all of the brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. We will start off this Spiritual Letter by first calling on Bawa within us, and on God within Him to come out of our innermost heart within us, which is where They live within us, and come into our mind and desire, which is where we currently live within us, and, "Teach us what we do not know". By reciting: The 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.): "O Bawa, O God, You are Allah. "O Bawa, O God, There is nothing other than You." "O Bawa, O God, Without You there is no help, because I do not exist." "O Bawa, O God, You are with me. Be inside my heart." "O Bawa, O God, Do not be separate from me." [Note: to read a brief history of the development of these 5 Kalimah's of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), please click on the following: Spiritual Prayer 02. Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar] My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). 2. Information For Willem Thambi - we don't have a passport, and is an expired drivers license ID Ok? Either way, God will provide Dear Willem Thambi, my dearest loving brother, we got your E-mail about the tickets, and your E-mail to Dr. Ganesan, and to Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), and we have the following information. First, the name on my passport is Louis Beutler, not Louie Beutler. Second, do we actually need a passport or is my driver license ID enough. Crisi and I are not sure where my passport is, since we have not used it since we traveled to Mecca about 5 years ago. Also, my driver license ID is not current, since we have not driven a car for the last few years. However, we did use the expired driver license ID the last time we went to Canada to visit with you and Hussein and it was accepted by the immigration agent at the Canadian border. Please let us know. But either way, it is Ok. God will most certainly provide. 3. Note To Dr. Ganesan - we must become clear on "who we are", and this child will always be your younger brother Dear Dr. Ganesan. My love you my dearest loving brother. We hope you and your family have been well and find your life at the Fellowship helpful on the path of God. Always keep in mind the truth of our life, that "who we are" is what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God within Him), and God within Him, are doing within us. We are not the drama of our life of "separation and differences" which in truth is but our karma, or our fate, or our destiny. May we all learn to join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, so They can "reason over our fate" both within and "outside" of us. Only then can we be successful in our life, and deal with the Final Destruction facing all of us living in this age. For as Bawa teaches us so beautifully on page 111, Chapter 30, "The Mystical Meaning of Man's Body", in the beautiful book of wisdom given to us by His Holiness, "The Pearl of Wisdom", after singing us the beautiful song, "Fate Rules Me With a Show of Scenes, What Will My Conscience Do To Me In The World", "Son, (your karma, or fate, or destiny) will thus make you do many other things." "After a man is born, it is said by everybody that his life is controlled by fate. But Son, it is not so. Life is the victory of wisdom reasoning over fate." My dearest loving older brother, Dr. Ganesan, we will always remember the love that you have given this child over the years, and we will always remain your little brother. Please give my love and salams to Mrs. Ganesan, and to your family and friends. They are always in my prayers. We are all truly God's "Funny Little Family". 4. The Significance of Our Trip To Toronto, Canada - to explore and start to come to grips with the inner meanings of the Final Destruction that we are all soon to experience, if that be our true intention We are very excited about our upcoming trip to Canada, and sincerely pray to God that you, your family, and all of our brothers and sisters at the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship find it in their hearts to join with their brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) in Canada this coming Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23, to explore and start to come to grips with the inner meanings of the Final Destruction that we are all soon to experience, as beautifully explained to us, if we truly want to hear it, in the adventure story given to us by His Holiness, called "Maya Veeram or The Forces of Illusion", starting with the beautiful "Preface to the English Edition" where Bawa teaches us on page xiv, "Every human being must strengthen his faith to understand the final destruction, to know how injustice will ultimately destroy injustice, and how truth and justice will save those with faith in God." 5. We Must Discover The One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - that has been hidden by God within each of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for this age, and join with our brothers and sisters to become One with that Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy within us, for the benefit of all of the Creations of God, both within us and "outside" of us In this way, may we all come to the realization that we did not sit at the feet of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) for our own salvation, but rather for the salvation of everyone else, who in truth are all living within us, for the salvation of all of our brothers and sisters living in the world today, which in truth is everyone living in the world today. Only then will our having met Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) be of any value to us, or to anyone else, either now, or at our time of death, because that is how it works, because that is how in truth God works within us, because that is how the wisdom and truth of God operates within us, for the benefit of all of us, within us, not for the benefit of any of "us" as "separate from" God, or as "separate from" each other, or as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed within each of us, even before we came to this dunya or earth world, not for the benefit of "us" or our brothers and sister living a dream life on the "outside" of us, not for the benefit of a few of us, or of a special group of us living together on the "outside" of us. May we all realize this. May we all come to know this now, before it is too late, and come together as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both within us and "outside" of us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed by the "beast" within one of us, by learning to put in front of the world what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) has put in front of us. Which is God and the "stuff of God" both within us, and "outside" of us, which is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is the gift of God for our age, and the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is the gift within the gift of God for our age. Only then will our life become successful. May we all come to know this now. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 6. The Final Chapter In The Life And Teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) - is the Children of God for this age explaining the Final Destruction to all of mankind, before it is too late, ushering in akhirah or the hereafter for all of us And as this One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that is growing within each of us, within the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) for this age, within each of the Children of God for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), may we all drive up together this week or weekend to Toronto, Canada, to the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Toronto, Canada, that was established personally by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) many years ago, and re-affirm our true Fellowship, and the true destiny of our soul. And in this way, start the final chapter in the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in the world, which is the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) explaining the Final Destruction of Man to the world, before it is too late, before we die, and before the "beast" growing within all of us finally comes out of one of us, and prematurely destroys the "outside" for all of us, destroying any chance of any of us getting it right before we die. In this way, starting in Toronto, Canada, this weekend, then in subsequent months taking this true "Reality Show" to Boston, to New York, to Connecticut, to Vermont, and to Washington, and then onto Iowa and California, ending in America with a wonderful week of clarity and "Oneness of Purpose" in Philadelphia, like Muhammad (Sal.) returning to Mecca, then onto Sri Lanka, Baghdad, Jerusalem, Mecca, and Medina, in the next year. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Solidifying in this way, the true Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within each of us, revealing the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship within each of us, which is all of us living, moving, and acting as One within each of us, rather than living as separate lives, with separate families, and separate ideas, intentions, duties, and agendas, with separate understandings of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). May God grant us His grace, His light, and His help to do this, in our life time, before it is too late. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 7. Making This Last Chapter of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Our Reality - by putting down what we are still carrying within us, which is the world, ourselves as "separate from" God, ourselves as "separate from" our brother and sisters, and ourselves as "separate from" the Creation of God within us, and by picking up what Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us, and God within Him, is doing within us, which is revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us My dearest loving older brothers, Willem Thambi, Dr. Ganesan, and Ahamad Kabeer, and my dearest loving older sister, Mrs. Ganesan, and my dearest loving younger brother Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), and all of our dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, please join with your brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) to do this Divine Work. Please join with your brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) in the One open heart of God for our age, the heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), to make this last Chapter of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in the world our reality, our life, and our true fate, the true destiny of our soul. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 8. Understanding The Agreement Between God and America - which we are about to break, when "America Invades Iraq", which is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, if we, as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) don't step forward to teach America, and the world both within and "outside" of us, to join with the wisdom for this age, and the truth of God within that wisdom, in order to "reason over our fate" We must all come together to realize what is confronting us in the world today, to understand our Final Destruction, and how to escape it. For example, we have just experienced the destruction of the Space Shuttle over Texas, the blizzard of 2003, all of which could have destroyed all of us, except for God's intervention, because He is not done trying to get us to put down what we are carrying, which is our life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within Us, our life of "separation and differences" that we are all currently living with our brothers and sisters in the world that we collectively see in our ignorance as existing "outside" of us. Because He is not done trying to get us to pick up the true destiny of our soul, to pick up the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), that Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) has lovingly planted within each of us. And it seems we are about to experience the "Invasion of Iraq by America", which could be the final straw that breaks the camels back, and finally turns God away from us, from the special status of America in the world today, finally breaking the agreement that our founding fathers made with God that literally created America, and allowed it to grow and prosper for over 200 years, despite all of evil things done in the world by America, and all of the attacks by its enemies. The agreement to freely allow for the election of a new president every four years, to freely turn over the right to rule America to the people, to allow them to again select a new president every four years, and the promise not to use the prosperity of America, that naturally flows out of this first promise, to arrogantly harm any other country, the promise to go to war only to defend America from our enemies, not to gain a competitive advantage over our neighbors, as is sadly about to happen. Such is the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, that only our wisdom can reason over, if we, as the Children of God for this age, for this age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), as the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in maturity is the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), will but join with our wisdom, and with the truth of God hidden within our wisdom, if we will but join with our Shaikh within us, and with God within Him, to reason over the fate, the destiny, the karma of America, and of the rest of the world, before it is too late. And for this to happen in our life time, before it is too late for any of us, we must put down our "separation and differences" once and for all, and then come together as the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) that is now growing within each of us, in order to do this Divine Work. We must hand all of our differences, our "individuality", our "uniqueness", our "personal lives", our "private lives", to God as His Problem, with the intention that He solve His problem, which is "us" living "separate from" Him within us, which is each of us living "separate lives", with "separate families", and with "separate ideas, intentions, duties, and agendas". May God give us His grace, light, and help, to do this, to do this now, before another day. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 9. Learning To Nourish The Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy Within Us - by learning to nourish others rather than ourselves, by learning to make us the nourish of others rather than others the nourishment of us My dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all do this now. May God give us the grace of His wisdom to do this now, in our life time, before it is too late. And may God open our hearts and our eyes to see this truth of our lives, to see the One True Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) growing within each of us, and to properly set us into action in order to nourish this "Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy" within us, by nourishing everyone else through us, by nourishing everyone else at the expense of us, rather than nourishing "us" as "separate from" everyone else. Rather than nourishing "us" at the expense of everyone else, so this "Child of God's Grace, Love, and Mercy" hidden within each of us by God, can come to maturity within us, before we die, and before our "outside" is prematurely destroyed, allowing "us" as "One with" God within us to come to maturity within us, first as our Iman and Qurban, as "True Faith or Belief" and "True Self Sacrifice" within us, which is our 4th and 5th levels of wisdom, which is Abraham and Ishmael (peace be upon Them) within us, then as the wisdom within our Iman, which is Moses, David, Jesus (peace be upon Them) within is, and then as Muhammad (Sal.) within us, as our 6th level of wisdom, as Divine Analytic Wisdom within us, the wisdom that explains within us. And as God's help, as the 'ilm or divine knowledge of God within our wisdom, which is our Shaikh within us, and God within Him, as Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (Ral.) within us, and the Nur Muhammad within Him, as the Shepherd and the Tree within us, as the light of our wisdom within us, allowing Worship or True Prayer to occur within us, which as Bawa teaches us, on page 49, Chapter 13, "The Four Ways of Worship", in the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom", "Worship is the most supreme form of a sacred act". Finally revealing True Man within the Creation of God within us, allowing True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within us, revealing in this way the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 10. About The Meeting in Toronto, Canada, on February 22 & 23, 2003 - it is the start of the journey to Baghdad, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) within us returning to Baghdad, but this time as the "Justice of Conscience", not the "Justice of Man", as He did 1000 years ago My dearest loving brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, may we all do this now, before it is too late, and may we all make our traveling together by car to Toronto, Canada, this week, or this weekend, our first collective step in that direction, in order to plan, attend, and conduct the following Fellowship meetings on Saturday and Sunday: Saturday 22, February 2003: 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm --- first session 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm --- dinner 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm --- second session Sunday 23, February 2003: 4:30 am --- salat and zikr 10:30 am to 1:00 --- third session All are welcome, admission is free. Phone: 416-636-9034 Address: 21 York Downs Drive, Toronto, Canada (running East off Bathurst between Wisdom and Sheppard) Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 11. About Traveling Together To Toronto, Canada, This Weekend - please send us an E-mail if you want to go, or to help, or to support our effort in any way that feels right in your heart. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar If you would like to travel with Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) by car to Toronto, Canada, and help arrange for others to do the same, please send us an E-mail, using one or both of following E-mail addresses. We are currently planning to go up tomorrow, this Wednesday, at 1 pm by plane. However, if the interest is there, we will drive up instead. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. After Wednesday, sent your E-mail to Willem Poolman, at Macpool@on.aibn.com. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 1) Muhaiyaddeen786@aol.com 2) Macpool@on.aibn.com In this way, providing yourself, and your time and energy, or whatever you may have available at this time, to this Divine Endeavor, in order to collectively awaken our "true belief in God", that transcends our individual belief in God, which in truth is but another facet of our arrogance, karma, and illusion, of our "separation from" God. In this way, allowing us to fall into the "Us", and in the process destroy the "you and I", allowing us to collectively revive the "pure light of truth" within your very own heart, which is the guarantee of the "Muhaiyaddeen of God" for this age, of the gift of God for this age, which is the gift of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) both within and "outside" of us, and of the gift within the gift of God for this age, which is the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with each of Us). Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. 12. Closing Comments & Prayer - may we all choose "Oneness with" God, not "separation from" God, the choice is ours, not God's, because God has already made His choice, and He chose "Oneness with" us, now we have to choose "Oneness with" Him, rather than continuing on our current path, our life of "separation and differences", that will only lead us to the angel of Death, the suffering of the grave, to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), and eventually to an eternal life of "separation from" God within us, which in truth is the only true hell of life My dearest loving brothers and sisters, we must realize without the slightest doubt, that in each age God comes to us as the ultimate challenge, the ultimate struggle, the ultimate sacrifice, and many are called but few are chosen, and of those who are chosen few among them can "endure the cure", can go the distance. For the cure is God, and only God, not "us", not "us" as "separate from" God, and the one who is cured is also God, and only God, not "us", not "us" as "separate from" God, for in truth the cure of "us" as "separate from" God, is "us" as "One with" God. For in this way, man and God are One, and the cure of us is True Man, and the cure of True Man is God, and the cure of God is us, us on the way to becoming True Man, as an apple fruit and the apple tree are one, and the cure of the apple seed is the apple tree, and the cure of the apple tree is the apple. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. In this way, as God asks and then God answers His own question, the question, "who am I?", which in truth can only be ever asked and answered within us when we become peaceful with our own ending, with the ending of our life as "separate from" God, as an apple seed germinates and reveals the apple tree hidden within it, only when it accepts it own ending, in this way, allowing "us" as "separate from" God to come to an end within us, revealing in this way "us" as "One with" God within us, allowing in this way for God's question and God's answer within us, to become our question and answer within us, and only in this way, are we ever to find peace in our life. Know this now, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, and start to act accordingly, before it is too late. Because that is the only true purpose of our life, which is to reveal God within us, not to reveal us and/or our brothers and sisters "outside" of us, not to reveal us in any manner or form, even "us" as believers in God, or "us" as lovers of God, or "us" as companions of God, or "us" as Hindus, Fire Worshippers, Christians, Muslims or Jews, or as sufis, or even us as members of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, or finally, even "us" living in heaven near God, for all of this "Us Stuff" is but self worship, not God worship. May we all come to realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of our life, and clearly recognize the difference, the difference between "us" as "separate from" God, and the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Only then, can "our wisdom reason over our fate". Only then will our life be successful. Please give my love and salams to all of your friends and family, my dearest loving brothers Willem Thambi, Muhammad Yasin (Jim Schardt), Dr. Ganesan, Mrs. Ganesan, and Ahamad Kabeer, as well as all of our brothers and sisters of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship. Please tell them that Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) loves them very, very much, and that they are always in my prayers. And please share this letter with them. Please do this "Heart's Work". Only then will we become One, only then can we benefit from this letter, as only in our sharing of the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), will we have truly received the gift of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is the gift of God for our age, and only in our sharing of the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), will we have truly receive the gift of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), which is the gift within the gift of God for our age. Al-salam 'alaykum wa-rahmat Allah wa-barakatuhu kulluhu. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
