Review of Chapter 14: Outline of Review: A. Jesus Explains What It Means -"He Is Leaving, And We Are Staying" B. We Must Truly Believe - that we have seen and heard God, in our own age C. As Jesus Is To The Father, So We Can Be To Jesus - in this way, Jesus is "One with" the Father within us, which is our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, and therefore to truly have a relationship with Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to have a relationship with Jesus within us, that is, we must be "One with" Jesus within us, we must live our life as "One with" Jesus within us, and "One with" God within Him, we must live our life as "One with" the "Holy Trinity of God" within us, rather than as "separate from" God, as "separate from" our brothers and sisters, and as "separate from" the Creation of God on the "outside" of us D. Jesus Promises To Next Come As The "Comforter" - to next come to His disciples as the "Comforter", as the "Holy Ghost", as the "Spirit of Truth", who will show them that in truth, they, and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God within them are "One" within themselves, even though the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, on the "outside" of them, or see or know Him, even though the world "outside" of you "seeth Me no more" E. Jesus Explains What It Means To Love Jesus - to love Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to be "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and to be "One with" all that He is "One with", which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and the Creation of God within us F. Jesus Explains What It Means - "Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world" G. Jesus Explains The Role of The "Comforter" - the "Comforter" will teach us all things, and bring all things to our remembrance, that is, bring to remembrance whatsoever has been said before unto us by God, by the 124,000 Prophets of God, over and over again from the beginning of time, but this time with no "veils" H. Jesus Explains What He Leaves With His Disciples - which is the "Peace of Jesus", which is "Oneness with" the Holy Trinity within us, before we die to our "outside", if that be our true intention, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us before we die I. As God Gave Jesus Commandments - so Jesus gave us His commandments to follow, like, "For I have given you an example, that ye should do (to each other) as I have done to you (John:13-15)" Text of Review: Summary of Chapter 14: Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) is trying to explain to His disciples, in Chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 in the "Gospel of John", before He leaves them, before God pulls Him out of the world "outside" of them, and into God within them, that if they have become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before He leaves them, like the disciple Barnabus did, like the "One whom Jesus loved" did, then Jesus (peace be upon Him) will pull them within Himself as He is pulled within God within them, in this way, establishing the Holy Trinity of God, the Triple Flame of God, within them, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in the Islamic tradition, as Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen. That this is the point of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world at that time, to teach them about "who they really are", not who Jesus (peace be upon Him) is, because in truth they are "Jesus happening" within themselves, if they will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of themselves, within the truth of God within them. For as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us in our age, telling us what His Guru told Him about "how it really works", when He first saw His Guru on the "outside" of Himself, "He is ray resplending from the Sun, He is the ray resplending from the Sun, He is the ray resplending from the Sun." "In all of God's Creations, each one." "All of them receive His grace through His quality of grace, Coming as the Guru of God to all lights of God on the earth, Becoming good qualities by fasting for 12 years." Amen. Such was the true nature of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in that age, over 2000 years ago, as such is the true nature of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) now, in our age, and such was the true nature of the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and such is the true nature of the disciples of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) now, in our age, "Coming as the Guru of God to all lights of God on the earth." The Inner Meaning: We have a choice of an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or of an eternal life of "separation from" God, a choice we must each make before we die, and "no choice" is a choice, a choice to continue to live as "separate from" God until we die, and to experience what that really means within us, for eternity, after we die. A. Jesus Explains What It Means - "He Is Leaving, And We Are Staying" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) starts to explain to His disciples the truth about His leaving, about their being with Him, and now of His leaving them, at least, for a little while, the truth of being His disciples, of becoming "One with" Him while He is still with them on the "outside" of them, that in truth they are not just the disciples, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, but are the disciples of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, of the Holy Trinity within them, which must now, with His leaving them, come to flower within them. That is, in truth they are disciples of the Holy Trinity within them, not just of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and being with Jesus and accepting Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and believing in and accepting the One who sent Jesus (peace be upon Him) to the "outside" of them, which is God within them, is how all of this can now happen within them, is now how each of them can become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, if that be their true intention, that is, "Hearing the Word of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and believing in the One who sent Jesus (peace be upon Him) into the world on the "outside" of them, so in this way, through Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, God can directly speak the Word of God to them on the "outside" of them, and in this way, they can directly see God within them for themselves, by seeing Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, is a prerequisite for an eternal life of "Oneness" with the Holy Trinity within them". For as it is said in the "Gospel of John", "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth in Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life (John: 5-24)." And in the same way, "This is also a prerequisite for their not receiving an eternal life of "separation from" the Holy Trinity of God, when they die, that is, an eternal life of "separation from" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God within them, and a prerequisite for their going from their current life of death, on the "outside" of them, into a true life within themselves for eternity, and to do all of this, before they die to the world "outside" of them". For as it is also said in the "Gospel of John", in the same Chapter, and in the same verse, "And shall not go unto condemnation; but is passed from death unto life ( John: 5- 24)." In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world that they are seeing in their ignorance on the "outside" of them, in their age, over 2000 years ago, and Jesus (peace be upon Him) speaking the Word and the Commandment of God to them, for their age, and showing the Example of God's qualities and actions to them for their age, has awakened the Holy Trinity within them, has awakened the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, if that be their true intention. And when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is "lifted up from the earth", that is, when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled by God within them from their "outside" to live as "One with" God within them, then for those who truly love Jesus, for those who have truly become "One with" Him while He was with them on the "outside" of them, like the Prophet Barnabus (peace be upon Him), then for them, and for them alone, then when Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the "outside" of them, when God pulls Jesus (peace be upon Him), back into God, from which He has come, Jesus (peace be upon Him) will "draw all (such) men unto Me". Only this is Christianity, to become "One with" the Holy Trinity within us, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) for our age, as the gift of God for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), is pulled by God back into Himself, and Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) pulls His true Children, His true Disciples into Himself, those who have become "One with" Him while He lived with us on the "outside" of us, and in this way, establishing us as "One with" the Holy Trinity within us. And finally, and now with the passing of His Holiness from this earth world, from the "outside" of us, this function of being the form on the "outside" of us of gift of God for our age, has passed to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), to again allow God to directly speak to us, to speak the Word of God for our age, so we can still directly see God and hear God on the "outside" of us, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can awaken within us, and start to do battle with the "enemy of our soul", which is "us" living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, and to do this, before we die, to do this through the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), that are still living on the "outside" of us. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 1-6 1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. 2. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5. Thomas said unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me Inner Meaning: So as Jesus (peace be upon Him) goes into His Father within us, so each of them that have truly become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, while Jesus (peace be upon Him) was with them on the "outside" of them, go into Jesus (peace be upon Him), who is truly within each of us, as the Holy Trinity within each of us, which in the Islamic traditions is referred to as "The Triple Flame of God within alif, lam, mim" within us. And in this way, each of them become "One with" Jesus within them, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) becomes "One with" His Father within them, if that be their true intention within them, while living on the "outside" of them, in the state of sin, in the state of "separation and differences", that is, to become "One with" Jesus within us, and with God within Him, that is "One with" the Holy Trinity within them, before they die, before they die to their "outside". And this is why, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells them, "whither I go ye know, and the way ye know", because in truth they all do know, we all do know, because in truth we are the Holy Trinity of God within us, this is our original state, our original birthright, our original heritage, and we have come to this "outside" of us, this life of the three hidden elements of God, of the five elemental spirits or ruhanis with in us, to provide a contrast, the opposite to our true heritage, to learn, to learn about who we "already are", which is the life of the Holy Trinity of God within us, the life of the "Secret Form of the Truth of God" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is "Alhamd", which means "All praise" or the five letters within the Arabic Alphabet of "alif, lam, mim, hay and dahl", with "hay" and "dahl" being our mind and desire, which when wisdom is awakened within us, become the Rahman and the Rahim within us, the Most Merciful of God, the Most Compassionate of God, of the Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, in the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, the "Alhamd" which is the form of the Suratal Fatihah, the "Heart of the Holy Qur'an", or the Ummul Qur'an, and the essence of the 28 letters, which is the journey of God happening within God within us. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) is them, is them being liberated from the cross of their own elemental body, by their wisdom or Spirit, after it has been awakened by the Word of God for their age, and in this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) is them becoming "One with" God within us, "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within us, "One with" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within us. And they in truth are "Jesus (peace be upon Him) happening" within them , they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) both before the Word of God for their age, has been spoken to them by Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before the Word of God spoken to them by Jesus (peace be upon Him) has awakened the wisdom within them, the Holy Spirit within them, and then after this happens, then they are the Holy Spirit, they are the wisdom surrounding their soul that has been awakened within them. And then they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, which is their soul, which is the light of God for their age, that has been liberated from the cross of their elemental body, in this way, pulling out the five nails of "desire to live here" within them, that has kept their soul, that has kept Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified within them, as they live on the "outside" of them, in this way, pulling out the 5 nails of desire to live on the "outside" of them, and sin, the desire to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. And as such, each of them, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, and God within them, are One, for those among them who truly want "Oneness' within the Holy Trinity within them, and are willing to let their life of sin die on the "outside" of them, before they die on the "outside" of them, for those among them who are willing to let their life of "separation and differences" that they are currently enjoying on the "outside" of them, with their brothers and sisters on the "outside" of them, come to an end within them, because in truth that is where their "outside" really is, within them, not "outside" of them, within them as millions and millions of lives of darkness, and as four hundred trillion, ten thousand spiritual energies, that are nourished by their life of sin on the "outside" of them. This is why Bawa teaches us that, "Live is a feast of the world, Its medicine is a time after a time". "[Its medicine is our continuous remembrance of God, In everything that we say or do, Invoking the "Presence of God" within us Before we say or do anything on the "outside" of us, By saying the "Name of God" for our age]" "[Which for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in the 21st century, is "Bawa", Or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him)]". "[As the "Name of God" for the age of Jesus, (peace be upon Him), over 2000 years ago, was Jesus (peace be upon Him), And the "Name of God" for the age of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, Was Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), And the "Name of God" For the age of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), over 1000 years ago, was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him.). Amen" And in this way, if they truly want it, they and the Holy Trinity of God within them, are One, and in this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, is but a reflection of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them "happening again", but this time within them, is but a reflection of each of them becoming again "One with" God within them, if that be their true intention within them, as in their current state, living in their ignorance on the "outside" of the, living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of them, they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) before this happens within us, they are their soul of purity having taken an impure birth, with God's permission, so they can move forward God's intention within them, which is to reveal God to God within them, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within them. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him), and what He has shown them on the "outside" of them, and Word of God that He has spoken to them, for over three years, is the Example of "who they are", that in truth, they are the "seed of True Man" within the Creation of God within them, they are their wisdom or Spirit being awakened by the Word of God for their age, by the words of Jesus (peace be upon Him) both within them and "outside" of them, and they are the life of their soul, of their pure soul that has now taken an impure birth within them, which is their "outside", and is now being liberated from that impure birth by the wisdom surrounding their soul, which is the Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity within them, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed around our soul within us, so it can be liberated from its impure birth, which is their current life on the "outside" of them, which is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) is currently showing them. And in truth they are also that soul, which having become an eternal life, by having found and merged with the light of our wisdom within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the Nur Muhammad, and in this way, establishing True Prayer within us, all of which is what the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) next shows them, after the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) personally receives the love greeting of Jesus (peace be upon Him) from the 13th disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him), from the disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him). Amen. B. We Must Truly Believe - that we have seen and heard God, in our own age Outer Story: From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 7-14 7. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. 8. Philip said unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. 11. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake. 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works then these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. The Inner Meaning: C. As Jesus Is To The Father, So We Are To Jesus Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples the true relationship that He has with them, and that they have with Jesus (peace be upon Him), if that be their true intention, that is, they are "One", that is, "they", and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God, are "One", that is, "As He is to the Father, so they can be to Him". In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that He is "One with" the Father within us, which is our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, and therefore to truly have a relationship with Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to have a relationship with Jesus within us, that is, we must be "One with" Jesus within us, we must live our life as "One with" Jesus within us, and "One with" God within Him, we must live our life as "One with" the "Holy Trinity of God" within us, rather than as "separate from" God, as "separate from" our brothers and sisters, and as "separate from" the Creation of God on the "outside" of us From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 12-14 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works then these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. The Inner Meaning: The inner meaning of Chapter 14 is Oneness, that in truth God is One, and so are we, in truth we are God happening within us, within the Kingdom of God within us, and God is True Man happening within us, as the Kingdom of God within us, and as such we are One, One within the Other as One. One revealing the other within it, as it is being revealed by the other it is within, like the apple tree is being revealed by the apple seed, as the apple that is hidden within the apple tree is revealing again the apple seed. Amen. And this is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) is trying to explain to His disciples, in Chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 in the "Gospel of John", before He leaves them, before God pulls Him out of the world "outside" of them, and into God within them, that if they have become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before He leaves them, like the disciple Barnabus did, the "One whom Jesus loved", then Jesus (peace be upon Him) pulls them within Himself as He is pulled within God within them, establishing the Holy Trinity of God, the Triple Flame of God, within us, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in the Islamic tradition, as Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen. And this is the path of God within us, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, not anything that we can do "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, this is how we journey back into the "Oneness" that is God within us, by first becoming "One with" God on the "outside" of us, so God can transform us into His Holy Trinity within us. By first becoming "One with" the gift of God for our age, on the "outside" of us, to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, and over 2000 years ago, that was Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, as over 1400 years ago, that was the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, as over 1000 years ago, that was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us, and in our age, that is our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us. This is how we move forward on the path of God within us, by becoming "One with" the truth of us on the "outside" of us, through our faith and trust in God within us, which then gives birth to us as the truth of God within us, not through any effort of ours as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God, on the "outside" of us. Amen. For as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us on page 6, in the "Forward" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani", and on page 72, in Chapter 21, "The Six Faces" of the same book, the following: Forward - Page 6: "My Children, as precious to Me as My eyes, learn the six tastes of the "Guru Mani". Be clarified. Be aware. Feel. Conduct yourself with enlightenment." "Separate each section, individually. Contemplate in solitude. Each section will reveal and illuminate the truth." Chapter 21: "The Six Faces" - Page 72: "They are the six wisdoms which are beyond estimation, beyond imagination, and beyond pleasure. They distinguish the truth that surrounds God, discipline the body, melt the heart, and like the season of spring sprout the six kind of wisdom." "They are known as Kandan, Kandampan (Son of Kandan), Murugan, Velan, and Veliraivan (God of Vel), and by several other names as well. They exist in every religion. People refer to them according to the depth of their understanding, but nobody has discovered the true meaning and reached the end (until now)." "A person draws a line and questions what it is. One person replies that it is a line. Another says that it is (the number 1). Yet another says that it is the (letter Alif). Similarly others say many things." "Instead of this, if you stay with a good Guru you will understand reason, justice, virtue, grace, joy, and bliss (aanadam). The meaning of all these will be made clear to you. The qualities of our inner selves will become virtuous (over the qualities of our outer selves). Forward - Page 6: (continued) "Kindle the light of your heart in silence. Forget yourself. Speak and lose yourself. Talking alone with intensity, say, "He is One". Your soul will elevate itself." Amen. D. Jesus Promises To Next Come As The "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus promises to next come as the "Comforter", to next come to His disciples as the "Comforter", as the "Holy Ghost", as the "Spirit of Truth", who will show them that in truth, they, and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God within them are "One" within themselves, even though the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, on the "outside" of them, or see or know Him, even though the world "outside" of you "seeth Me no more". From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 15-20 15. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. 16. And I will pray to the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth (will I give you); whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be with you. 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you (as the Comforter). 19. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more, but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you (and as such, "We" are as "One" within you). Inner Meaning: E. Jesus Explains What It Means To "Love Jesus" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains what it means to truly "Love" Jesus (peace be upon Him), which is to be "One with" Him, which is to keep His Commandments, and in this way, to be loved by His Father, by God within us, that is, to be "One with" God within us. In this way, to love Jesus is to love God, is to love Jesus and God within us, is to love, to be "One with" the Holy Trinity within us. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 21 21. He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. Inner Meaning: To love Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to be "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and to be "One with" all that He is "One with", which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and the Creation of God within us F. Jesus Explains What It Means - "Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world" Outer Story: Jesus explains that this means, "If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him". From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 22-25 22. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. He that loveth Me not, keepeth not My Sayings: and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me. 25. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. Inner Meaning: That is, If we truly love Jesus (peace be upon Him), that is, if we live our life "outside" of us as "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and as "One with" God within Jesus (peace be upon Him), then God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, that is, the Holy Trinity of God, will make their abode within us, and as such, "We will be One", and "our words" will be Their Words, and our qualities and actions will be Their Qualities and Actions. Such is the gift of God for that age, over 2000 years ago, for the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and for the true disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in that age, like the disciple Barnabus, who is the "One loved by Jesus", that is, the gift of God that they become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to their "outside", that is, when they truly love Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, that is, that they truly become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled out of their "outside" by God within them, that is, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) dies to their "outside". And such is the gift of God for our age, for now, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that is, if we truly become "One with" His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on our "outside" of us before they are pulled out of our "outside", as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) was on December 8th, 1986, before They die to our "outside", then we too will become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within us, as They did when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) left the world, and we must do all of this before we die to our "outside". Amen. G. Jesus Explains The Role of The "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus explains that the "Comforter" is "the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send" in the Name of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and that the "Comforter" will "Teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance", that is, bring to remembrance "Whatsoever Jesus has said unto you." From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 26 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Inner Meaning: The "Comforter" will teach us things, and bring all things to our remembrance, that is, bring to remembrance whatsoever has been said before unto us, from the beginning of time until now, from all of the 124,000 Prophets of God, heavenly beings, and Lights of God, but this time with no "veils". And as Bawa teaches us, this "Comforter" will come at the end of time, and everyone will hear His teaching, everyone will understand it, and all that is left is do we want it, do we want an eternal life of "Oneness" with God, or do we want an eternal life of "separation from" God, do we want to continue living a life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, but this time for eternity. The choice is ours, not God, because He has already made His choice, and He choose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are now alive within Him. Now we must make our choice, to allow God to become alive within us, to allow God to finish what He has already started within each of us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of God (the dunya or earth world) within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation", allowing True Man within us to then reveal God within the Creation of True Man (akhirah or the next world within us) within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation, and in this way, to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen. H. Jesus Explains What He Leaves His Disciples Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that what He leaves His disciples is "Peace", is the "Peace know as Oneness with Jesus within them", which is Himself within them, as the gift of God for their age, which comes to them when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled out of their "outside" by God within them, if they have first become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) is "lifted up from the earth" by God within them. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 27-28 27. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I. Inner Meaning: This is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves His disciples, when He leaves their "outside", the gift of "Peace" which the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) could have only if they had become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) before He left their "outside". This is the gift of "Peace" that we also in our age can have, in the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we truly become "One with" the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), before They also are puled out of the "outside" of us, before we die, This is the gift of "Peace" for each age, and this is the true significance of the coming into the world of the 124,000 Prophets of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad (may God be pleased with all of His Prophets), the true significance, which is receiving "Oneness with" God within us, with the Holy Trinity within us, before we die to our "outside", if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to be "One with" God within us, not simply to work for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, after we die, and to do all of this before we die to our "outside". I. As God Gave Jesus Commandments - so Jesus gave us His commandments to follow Outer Story: From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 29-31 29. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it come to pass, ye might believe. 30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. 31. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me Commandments, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Review of Chapter 14: Outline of Review: A. Jesus Explains What It Means -"He Is Leaving, And We Are Staying" B. We Must Truly Believe - that we have seen and heard God, in our own age C. As Jesus Is To The Father, So We Can Be To Jesus - in this way, Jesus is "One with" the Father within us, which is our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, and therefore to truly have a relationship with Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to have a relationship with Jesus within us, that is, we must be "One with" Jesus within us, we must live our life as "One with" Jesus within us, and "One with" God within Him, we must live our life as "One with" the "Holy Trinity of God" within us, rather than as "separate from" God, as "separate from" our brothers and sisters, and as "separate from" the Creation of God on the "outside" of us D. Jesus Promises To Next Come As The "Comforter" - to next come to His disciples as the "Comforter", as the "Holy Ghost", as the "Spirit of Truth", who will show them that in truth, they, and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God within them are "One" within themselves, even though the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, on the "outside" of them, or see or know Him, even though the world "outside" of you "seeth Me no more" E. Jesus Explains What It Means To Love Jesus - to love Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to be "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and to be "One with" all that He is "One with", which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and the Creation of God within us F. Jesus Explains What It Means - "Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world" G. Jesus Explains The Role of The "Comforter" - the "Comforter" will teach us all things, and bring all things to our remembrance, that is, bring to remembrance whatsoever has been said before unto us by God, by the 124,000 Prophets of God, over and over again from the beginning of time, but this time with no "veils" H. Jesus Explains What He Leaves With His Disciples - which is the "Peace of Jesus", which is "Oneness with" the Holy Trinity within us, before we die to our "outside", if that be our true intention, if our true intention is to become "One with" God within us before we die I. As God Gave Jesus Commandments - so Jesus gave us His commandments to follow, like, "For I have given you an example, that ye should do (to each other) as I have done to you (John:13-15)" Text of Review: Summary of Chapter 14: Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) is trying to explain to His disciples, in Chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 in the "Gospel of John", before He leaves them, before God pulls Him out of the world "outside" of them, and into God within them, that if they have become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before He leaves them, like the disciple Barnabus did, like the "One whom Jesus loved" did, then Jesus (peace be upon Him) will pull them within Himself as He is pulled within God within them, in this way, establishing the Holy Trinity of God, the Triple Flame of God, within them, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in the Islamic tradition, as Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen. That this is the point of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world at that time, to teach them about "who they really are", not who Jesus (peace be upon Him) is, because in truth they are "Jesus happening" within themselves, if they will only realize, understand, accept, and join with this truth of themselves, within the truth of God within them. For as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us in our age, telling us what His Guru told Him about "how it really works", when He first saw His Guru on the "outside" of Himself, "He is ray resplending from the Sun, He is the ray resplending from the Sun, He is the ray resplending from the Sun." "In all of God's Creations, each one." "All of them receive His grace through His quality of grace, Coming as the Guru of God to all lights of God on the earth, Becoming good qualities by fasting for 12 years." Amen. Such was the true nature of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in that age, over 2000 years ago, as such is the true nature of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) now, in our age, and such was the true nature of the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, and such is the true nature of the disciples of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) now, in our age, "Coming as the Guru of God to all lights of God on the earth." The Inner Meaning: We have a choice of an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or of an eternal life of "separation from" God, a choice we must each make before we die, and "no choice" is a choice, a choice to continue to live as "separate from" God until we die, and to experience what that really means within us, for eternity, after we die. A. Jesus Explains What It Means - "He Is Leaving, And We Are Staying" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) starts to explain to His disciples the truth about His leaving, about their being with Him, and now of His leaving them, at least, for a little while, the truth of being His disciples, of becoming "One with" Him while He is still with them on the "outside" of them, that in truth they are not just the disciples, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, but are the disciples of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, of the Holy Trinity within them, which must now, with His leaving them, come to flower within them. That is, in truth they are disciples of the Holy Trinity within them, not just of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and being with Jesus and accepting Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and believing in and accepting the One who sent Jesus (peace be upon Him) to the "outside" of them, which is God within them, is how all of this can now happen within them, is now how each of them can become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, if that be their true intention, that is, "Hearing the Word of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and believing in the One who sent Jesus (peace be upon Him) into the world on the "outside" of them, so in this way, through Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, God can directly speak the Word of God to them on the "outside" of them, and in this way, they can directly see God within them for themselves, by seeing Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, is a prerequisite for an eternal life of "Oneness" with the Holy Trinity within them". For as it is said in the "Gospel of John", "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth in Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life (John: 5-24)." And in the same way, "This is also a prerequisite for their not receiving an eternal life of "separation from" the Holy Trinity of God, when they die, that is, an eternal life of "separation from" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God within them, and a prerequisite for their going from their current life of death, on the "outside" of them, into a true life within themselves for eternity, and to do all of this, before they die to the world "outside" of them". For as it is also said in the "Gospel of John", in the same Chapter, and in the same verse, "And shall not go unto condemnation; but is passed from death unto life ( John: 5- 24)." In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world that they are seeing in their ignorance on the "outside" of them, in their age, over 2000 years ago, and Jesus (peace be upon Him) speaking the Word and the Commandment of God to them, for their age, and showing the Example of God's qualities and actions to them for their age, has awakened the Holy Trinity within them, has awakened the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, if that be their true intention. And when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is "lifted up from the earth", that is, when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled by God within them from their "outside" to live as "One with" God within them, then for those who truly love Jesus, for those who have truly become "One with" Him while He was with them on the "outside" of them, like the Prophet Barnabus (peace be upon Him), then for them, and for them alone, then when Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the "outside" of them, when God pulls Jesus (peace be upon Him), back into God, from which He has come, Jesus (peace be upon Him) will "draw all (such) men unto Me". Only this is Christianity, to become "One with" the Holy Trinity within us, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) for our age, as the gift of God for our age, which for our age is the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), is pulled by God back into Himself, and Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) pulls His true Children, His true Disciples into Himself, those who have become "One with" Him while He lived with us on the "outside" of us, and in this way, establishing us as "One with" the Holy Trinity within us. And finally, and now with the passing of His Holiness from this earth world, from the "outside" of us, this function of being the form on the "outside" of us of gift of God for our age, has passed to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), to again allow God to directly speak to us, to speak the Word of God for our age, so we can still directly see God and hear God on the "outside" of us, so the wisdom surrounding our soul can awaken within us, and start to do battle with the "enemy of our soul", which is "us" living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, and to do this, before we die, to do this through the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), that are still living on the "outside" of us. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 1-6 1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. 2. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5. Thomas said unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me Inner Meaning: So as Jesus (peace be upon Him) goes into His Father within us, so each of them that have truly become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, while Jesus (peace be upon Him) was with them on the "outside" of them, go into Jesus (peace be upon Him), who is truly within each of us, as the Holy Trinity within each of us, which in the Islamic traditions is referred to as "The Triple Flame of God within alif, lam, mim" within us. And in this way, each of them become "One with" Jesus within them, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) becomes "One with" His Father within them, if that be their true intention within them, while living on the "outside" of them, in the state of sin, in the state of "separation and differences", that is, to become "One with" Jesus within us, and with God within Him, that is "One with" the Holy Trinity within them, before they die, before they die to their "outside". And this is why, as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells them, "whither I go ye know, and the way ye know", because in truth they all do know, we all do know, because in truth we are the Holy Trinity of God within us, this is our original state, our original birthright, our original heritage, and we have come to this "outside" of us, this life of the three hidden elements of God, of the five elemental spirits or ruhanis with in us, to provide a contrast, the opposite to our true heritage, to learn, to learn about who we "already are", which is the life of the Holy Trinity of God within us, the life of the "Secret Form of the Truth of God" within us, which in the Islamic tradition is "Alhamd", which means "All praise" or the five letters within the Arabic Alphabet of "alif, lam, mim, hay and dahl", with "hay" and "dahl" being our mind and desire, which when wisdom is awakened within us, become the Rahman and the Rahim within us, the Most Merciful of God, the Most Compassionate of God, of the Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim, in the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, the "Alhamd" which is the form of the Suratal Fatihah, the "Heart of the Holy Qur'an", or the Ummul Qur'an, and the essence of the 28 letters, which is the journey of God happening within God within us. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) is them, is them being liberated from the cross of their own elemental body, by their wisdom or Spirit, after it has been awakened by the Word of God for their age, and in this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) is them becoming "One with" God within us, "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within us, "One with" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within us. And they in truth are "Jesus (peace be upon Him) happening" within them , they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) both before the Word of God for their age, has been spoken to them by Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before the Word of God spoken to them by Jesus (peace be upon Him) has awakened the wisdom within them, the Holy Spirit within them, and then after this happens, then they are the Holy Spirit, they are the wisdom surrounding their soul that has been awakened within them. And then they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, which is their soul, which is the light of God for their age, that has been liberated from the cross of their elemental body, in this way, pulling out the five nails of "desire to live here" within them, that has kept their soul, that has kept Jesus (peace be upon Him) crucified within them, as they live on the "outside" of them, in this way, pulling out the 5 nails of desire to live on the "outside" of them, and sin, the desire to live a life of "separation and differences" with our brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us. And as such, each of them, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, and God within them, are One, for those among them who truly want "Oneness' within the Holy Trinity within them, and are willing to let their life of sin die on the "outside" of them, before they die on the "outside" of them, for those among them who are willing to let their life of "separation and differences" that they are currently enjoying on the "outside" of them, with their brothers and sisters on the "outside" of them, come to an end within them, because in truth that is where their "outside" really is, within them, not "outside" of them, within them as millions and millions of lives of darkness, and as four hundred trillion, ten thousand spiritual energies, that are nourished by their life of sin on the "outside" of them. This is why Bawa teaches us that, "Live is a feast of the world, Its medicine is a time after a time". "[Its medicine is our continuous remembrance of God, In everything that we say or do, Invoking the "Presence of God" within us Before we say or do anything on the "outside" of us, By saying the "Name of God" for our age]" "[Which for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), in the 21st century, is "Bawa", Or "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen", or "Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him)]". "[As the "Name of God" for the age of Jesus, (peace be upon Him), over 2000 years ago, was Jesus (peace be upon Him), And the "Name of God" for the age of Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), over 1400 years ago, Was Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), And the "Name of God" For the age of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), over 1000 years ago, was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him.). Amen" And in this way, if they truly want it, they and the Holy Trinity of God within them, are One, and in this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, is but a reflection of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, of Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them "happening again", but this time within them, is but a reflection of each of them becoming again "One with" God within them, if that be their true intention within them, as in their current state, living in their ignorance on the "outside" of the, living a life of sin, a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of them, they are Jesus (peace be upon Him) before this happens within us, they are their soul of purity having taken an impure birth, with God's permission, so they can move forward God's intention within them, which is to reveal God to God within them, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within them. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him), and what He has shown them on the "outside" of them, and Word of God that He has spoken to them, for over three years, is the Example of "who they are", that in truth, they are the "seed of True Man" within the Creation of God within them, they are their wisdom or Spirit being awakened by the Word of God for their age, by the words of Jesus (peace be upon Him) both within them and "outside" of them, and they are the life of their soul, of their pure soul that has now taken an impure birth within them, which is their "outside", and is now being liberated from that impure birth by the wisdom surrounding their soul, which is the Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity within them, that God has personally and ever so lovingly placed around our soul within us, so it can be liberated from its impure birth, which is their current life on the "outside" of them, which is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) is currently showing them. And in truth they are also that soul, which having become an eternal life, by having found and merged with the light of our wisdom within us, which in the Islamic tradition is called the Nur Muhammad, and in this way, establishing True Prayer within us, all of which is what the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) next shows them, after the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) personally receives the love greeting of Jesus (peace be upon Him) from the 13th disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him), from the disciple Barnabus (peace be upon Him). Amen. B. We Must Truly Believe - that we have seen and heard God, in our own age Outer Story: From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 7-14 7. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. 8. Philip said unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. 11. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake. 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works then these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. The Inner Meaning: C. As Jesus Is To The Father, So We Are To Jesus Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples the true relationship that He has with them, and that they have with Jesus (peace be upon Him), if that be their true intention, that is, they are "One", that is, "they", and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God, are "One", that is, "As He is to the Father, so they can be to Him". In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that He is "One with" the Father within us, which is our birthright, our true heritage, the true destiny of our soul, and therefore to truly have a relationship with Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to have a relationship with Jesus within us, that is, we must be "One with" Jesus within us, we must live our life as "One with" Jesus within us, and "One with" God within Him, we must live our life as "One with" the "Holy Trinity of God" within us, rather than as "separate from" God, as "separate from" our brothers and sisters, and as "separate from" the Creation of God on the "outside" of us From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 12-14 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works then these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. The Inner Meaning: The inner meaning of Chapter 14 is Oneness, that in truth God is One, and so are we, in truth we are God happening within us, within the Kingdom of God within us, and God is True Man happening within us, as the Kingdom of God within us, and as such we are One, One within the Other as One. One revealing the other within it, as it is being revealed by the other it is within, like the apple tree is being revealed by the apple seed, as the apple that is hidden within the apple tree is revealing again the apple seed. Amen. And this is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) is trying to explain to His disciples, in Chapters 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 in the "Gospel of John", before He leaves them, before God pulls Him out of the world "outside" of them, and into God within them, that if they have become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before He leaves them, like the disciple Barnabus did, the "One whom Jesus loved", then Jesus (peace be upon Him) pulls them within Himself as He is pulled within God within them, establishing the Holy Trinity of God, the Triple Flame of God, within us, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and in the Islamic tradition, as Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen. And this is the path of God within us, my dearest loving brothers and sisters, not anything that we can do "separate from" God on the "outside" of us, this is how we journey back into the "Oneness" that is God within us, by first becoming "One with" God on the "outside" of us, so God can transform us into His Holy Trinity within us. By first becoming "One with" the gift of God for our age, on the "outside" of us, to awaken the wisdom surrounding our soul, and over 2000 years ago, that was Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, as over 1400 years ago, that was the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of us, as over 1000 years ago, that was Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) on the "outside" of us, and in our age, that is our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us. This is how we move forward on the path of God within us, by becoming "One with" the truth of us on the "outside" of us, through our faith and trust in God within us, which then gives birth to us as the truth of God within us, not through any effort of ours as "separate from" God, as "separate from" each other, and as "separate from" the Creation of God, on the "outside" of us. Amen. For as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) teaches us on page 6, in the "Forward" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani", and on page 72, in Chapter 21, "The Six Faces" of the same book, the following: Forward - Page 6: "My Children, as precious to Me as My eyes, learn the six tastes of the "Guru Mani". Be clarified. Be aware. Feel. Conduct yourself with enlightenment." "Separate each section, individually. Contemplate in solitude. Each section will reveal and illuminate the truth." Chapter 21: "The Six Faces" - Page 72: "They are the six wisdoms which are beyond estimation, beyond imagination, and beyond pleasure. They distinguish the truth that surrounds God, discipline the body, melt the heart, and like the season of spring sprout the six kind of wisdom." "They are known as Kandan, Kandampan (Son of Kandan), Murugan, Velan, and Veliraivan (God of Vel), and by several other names as well. They exist in every religion. People refer to them according to the depth of their understanding, but nobody has discovered the true meaning and reached the end (until now)." "A person draws a line and questions what it is. One person replies that it is a line. Another says that it is (the number 1). Yet another says that it is the (letter Alif). Similarly others say many things." "Instead of this, if you stay with a good Guru you will understand reason, justice, virtue, grace, joy, and bliss (aanadam). The meaning of all these will be made clear to you. The qualities of our inner selves will become virtuous (over the qualities of our outer selves). Forward - Page 6: (continued) "Kindle the light of your heart in silence. Forget yourself. Speak and lose yourself. Talking alone with intensity, say, "He is One". Your soul will elevate itself." Amen. D. Jesus Promises To Next Come As The "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus promises to next come as the "Comforter", to next come to His disciples as the "Comforter", as the "Holy Ghost", as the "Spirit of Truth", who will show them that in truth, they, and the Holy Spirit, and Jesus (peace be upon Him), and God within them are "One" within themselves, even though the world cannot receive the Spirit of truth, on the "outside" of them, or see or know Him, even though the world "outside" of you "seeth Me no more". From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 15-20 15. If ye love Me, keep My Commandments. 16. And I will pray to the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth (will I give you); whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be with you. 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you (as the Comforter). 19. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more, but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you (and as such, "We" are as "One" within you). Inner Meaning: E. Jesus Explains What It Means To "Love Jesus" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains what it means to truly "Love" Jesus (peace be upon Him), which is to be "One with" Him, which is to keep His Commandments, and in this way, to be loved by His Father, by God within us, that is, to be "One with" God within us. In this way, to love Jesus is to love God, is to love Jesus and God within us, is to love, to be "One with" the Holy Trinity within us. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 21 21. He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. Inner Meaning: To love Jesus (peace be upon Him) is to be "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and to be "One with" all that He is "One with", which includes God, the Holy Spirit, and the Creation of God within us F. Jesus Explains What It Means - "Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world" Outer Story: Jesus explains that this means, "If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him". From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 22-25 22. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. He that loveth Me not, keepeth not My Sayings: and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me. 25. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. Inner Meaning: That is, If we truly love Jesus (peace be upon Him), that is, if we live our life "outside" of us as "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within us, and as "One with" God within Jesus (peace be upon Him), then God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, that is, the Holy Trinity of God, will make their abode within us, and as such, "We will be One", and "our words" will be Their Words, and our qualities and actions will be Their Qualities and Actions. Such is the gift of God for that age, over 2000 years ago, for the age of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and for the true disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) in that age, like the disciple Barnabus, who is the "One loved by Jesus", that is, the gift of God that they become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to their "outside", that is, when they truly love Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, that is, that they truly become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled out of their "outside" by God within them, that is, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) dies to their "outside". And such is the gift of God for our age, for now, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), that is, if we truly become "One with" His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on our "outside" of us before they are pulled out of our "outside", as Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) was on December 8th, 1986, before They die to our "outside", then we too will become "One with" the Holy Trinity of God within us, as They did when Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) left the world, and we must do all of this before we die to our "outside". Amen. G. Jesus Explains The Role of The "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus explains that the "Comforter" is "the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send" in the Name of Jesus (peace be upon Him), and that the "Comforter" will "Teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance", that is, bring to remembrance "Whatsoever Jesus has said unto you." From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 26 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Inner Meaning: The "Comforter" will teach us things, and bring all things to our remembrance, that is, bring to remembrance whatsoever has been said before unto us, from the beginning of time until now, from all of the 124,000 Prophets of God, heavenly beings, and Lights of God, but this time with no "veils". And as Bawa teaches us, this "Comforter" will come at the end of time, and everyone will hear His teaching, everyone will understand it, and all that is left is do we want it, do we want an eternal life of "Oneness" with God, or do we want an eternal life of "separation from" God, do we want to continue living a life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, but this time for eternity. The choice is ours, not God, because He has already made His choice, and He choose "Oneness with" us, and that is why we are now alive within Him. Now we must make our choice, to allow God to become alive within us, to allow God to finish what He has already started within each of us, which is to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, by first revealing True Man within the Creation of God (the dunya or earth world) within us, as the "Oneness of God and His Creation", allowing True Man within us to then reveal God within the Creation of True Man (akhirah or the next world within us) within us, as the "Oneness of True Man and His Creation, and in this way, to reveal the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen. H. Jesus Explains What He Leaves His Disciples Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that what He leaves His disciples is "Peace", is the "Peace know as Oneness with Jesus within them", which is Himself within them, as the gift of God for their age, which comes to them when Jesus (peace be upon Him) is pulled out of their "outside" by God within them, if they have first become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, before Jesus (peace be upon Him) is "lifted up from the earth" by God within them. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 27-28 27. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for My Father is greater than I. Inner Meaning: This is what Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves His disciples, when He leaves their "outside", the gift of "Peace" which the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him) could have only if they had become "One with" Jesus (peace be upon Him) before He left their "outside". This is the gift of "Peace" that we also in our age can have, in the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), if we truly become "One with" the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), before They also are puled out of the "outside" of us, before we die, This is the gift of "Peace" for each age, and this is the true significance of the coming into the world of the 124,000 Prophets of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad (may God be pleased with all of His Prophets), the true significance, which is receiving "Oneness with" God within us, with the Holy Trinity within us, before we die to our "outside", if that be our true intention, that is, if our true intention is to be "One with" God within us, not simply to work for wages to get into some illusory heaven on the "outside" of us, after we die, and to do all of this before we die to our "outside". I. As God Gave Jesus Commandments - so Jesus gave us His commandments to follow Outer Story: From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 14, Verse 29-31 29. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it come to pass, ye might believe. 30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. 31. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave Me Commandments, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
