“The Outline”
of “Spiritual Insight 07-1”
01. Introduction - To “Lou Tambi” - Have You Read “Golden Words?”, That Is, To Bawa’s Invitation To Become “A True Human Being”, Giving Up “Man-Beast” For “Man-God”, While Both We And Bawa Still Could, That Is, Before Either of Us Physically Left The World, and that is for sure.
02. “The First Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, No One But Bawa Will Ever Join With Us In “This Great Adventure”, That Is, In “This Great Adventure” of Making The Transition In Our Life From “Man-Beast” To “Man-God”, Not Our Mother, Or Our Father, Or Our Friend, Or Our Child, Not Our Race, Our Religion, Or Our Bloodties, And Not Even “Ourself”, As “Separate From” God, For In Truth All of “These Thing” Now Living With Us As “Separate From” God Are “The Enemy of Our Soul”, and that is for sure.
03. “The Second Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “My Soul Started To Complain To Me About How We Were Treating It”, That We Are Ignoring Its Needs, That “You Are Not Taking Us To Morning Prayers. Morning Prayers Are Our Nourishment. You Must Take Us To Morning Prayers.”
04. “The Third Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “The Gathering of The Perfect Storm”, That Is, “There Are Only 24 Hours In A Day”, That Is, “In Our Day”, That Is, “In Our Day” As “Separate From” The Guru, But Not In “The Day of The Guru”, That Is, Not In “The Day of The Guru” As “One With” Us, and that is for sure.
05. “The Fourth Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “The Passing of The Perfect Storm”, That Is, “There Are Not Only 24 Hours In A Day”, That Is, In “The Day of The Guru”, That Is, Not In “The Day of The Guru” As “One With” Us, and that is for sure, That Is, Not In “Your Day”, When You Let “Bawa Be One With You”, By You Being Completely Done With “You As Separate From Bawa”, and that is for sure.
06. “The Ending of All Plots” - By Bawa’s Design, For In Truth Now “We Belonged To Him”, That Is, For In Truth Now “We Again Belonged To God”, As “God’s Child”, As Now “God As One With Us”, Now And Forever, No Longer Existing As “Our Mother’s Child”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From Bawa”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From God”, No Longer Belonging To The World, No Longer Belonging To “Everything” That God Discarded, “To Become God” Within Us, and that is for sure.
“The End”
of “The Outline”
of “Spiritual Insight 07-1”
01. Introduction - To “Lou Tambi” - Have You Read “Golden Words?”, That Is, To Bawa’s Invitation To Become “A True Human Being”, Giving Up “Man-Beast” For “Man-God”, While Both We And Bawa Still Could, That Is, Before Either of Us Physically Left The World, and that is for sure.
Bawa. One Day In The Fall of 1986, A Couple of Months Before Bawa Physically Left The World, On December 8th, 1986, We Were Sitting “In-The-Room” Next To Bawa’s Bed, And Bawa Was Sitting On His Bed, When Bawa Looked Down At This Child, And Said To This Child,
“Lou Tambi” - Have You Read “Golden Words?”
Bawa. A Question That Would Forever Change The Life of This Child, And We Immediately Said to Bawa,
“Yes Bawa, We Have Read “Golden Words”.
Bawa. But Then From Within Me, That Is, From What We Sincerely Believe Is “The Spiritual Child” Now Living Within Me, Came The Clarity That Bawa Was Not Asking Us If We Had Read “Golden Word”, Which Refers To The Book “Golden Words of A Sufi Shaikh”, By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), But Rather Bawa Was Telling Us To Read “Golden Words”, Now, With Him, At His Feet, While We Still Could, That Is, Before “He Physically Left The World”, Which He Knew Was Now Going To Happen, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So We Did, That Is, We Started To Sit At The Feet of Bawa, That Is, At The Foot of His Bed, On The Floor, Between His Bed and The Wall, And Each Night Read “Golden Words”, As Bawa Sat On His Bed, And Everything Started To Change Again, Again Within “The Heart” of This Child, As It Had Been Changing For The Previous 11 and 1/2 Years, That Is, Since The Summer of 1975, When We First Met Bawa, When We First Embraced Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us) One Monday Night, After A Monday Meeting At “The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship”, On 5820 Overbrook Avenue, In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And As We Started To Read Each of “The 958 Golden Words Sayings” Bawa Truly Joined As One With Us To Carry Out “This Great Adventure”, And As With All “Great Adventures”, What Needs To Be Learned Remains Illusively Hidden Within Many “Sub-plots”, That Always Seem To Rise Up As Part of The Journey, Trying To Pull You “Off The Point”, As They Say, And This Adventure Was No Exception, and that is for sure. Ok?
02. “The First Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, No One But Bawa Will Ever Join With Us In “This Great Adventure”, That Is, In “This Great Adventure” of Making The Transition In Our Life From “Man-Beast” To “Man-God”, Not Our Mother, Or Our Father, Or Our Friend, Or Our Child, Not Our Race, Our Religion, Or Our Bloodties, And Not Even “Ourself”, As “Separate From” God, For In Truth All of “These Thing” Now Living With Us As “Separate From” God Are “The Enemy of Our Soul”, and that is for sure.
Bawa. And As We Started To Read Each of The Golden Word Saying My Heart Started To Resonate, Started To Awaken To The Truth Contained Within Each of The Saying, To The Point That We Wanted Everyone To Know What We Were Experiencing, About What We Were Reading, Falsely Thinking That It Was Within “The Word” On The Page, Failing To Realize That In Truth It Was All Within “Our Heart”, Within “A Heart” That Bawa Was Now Starting To Open For Us, Because of Our Letting Him, Because Now We Shared The “One Heart”, Because Now We Were “One”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So, As Each of These Truths Dawned Within Us First We Turned To Our Brothers and Sisters “In-The-Room” And Tried To Read To Them What We Had Read But There Reaction Was Surprising, With No One Showing Anything Other Than A Polite “Yes, That Is Nice”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And Then We Turned To The Rest of The Brothers and Sisters At “The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship” That Night, Reading To Them What We Had Read, But Again There Reaction Was Surprising, With No One Showing Anything Other Than A Polite “Yes, That Is Nice”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. Finally, The Only One Left To Take Our Joy To, Our Amazement To, Was Bawa, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So, We Went To Bawa, Who Was Sitting On The Bed, And Said To Bawa,
“Bawa, This Book Is Wonderful, These Sayings Are Incredible, They Are So
Beautiful”
Bawa. And Bawa Smiled And Said To Me,
“Only Wisdom Would Say That”.
Bawa. So Wow. And All of My Joy, My Amazement, My Need To Share What Was Being Experience Ended, And We Settled Into Stillness, Content And Peaceful With What Bawa Had Said, And More Profoundly, With What Bawa Had Done, and that was sure. Ok?
Bawa. Because Bawa Had Truly Ended Us, Truly Ended One of Us, And Had Truly Begun Us, Had Truly Begun Another One of Us, And What He Had Ended Was Now Gone, And What He Had Begun, Was Now Who We Were, And What He Had Begun Had No Need For What He Had Ended, So It Sat Back, Again At The Foot of Bawa’s Bed, Next To The Wall, And Again Started To Read “The Golden Words of The Sufi Shaikh”, To Our Hearts Content, and that is for sure. Ok?
03. “The Second Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “My Soul Started To Complain To Me About How We Were Treating It”, That We Are Ignoring Its Needs, That “You Are Not Taking Us To Morning Prayers. Morning Prayers Are Our Nourishment. You Must Take Us To Morning Prayers.”
Bawa. So With Me Again Peaceful And Content At The Foot of Bawa’s Bed, Next To The Wall, And Again Reading “The Golden Words of The Sufi Shaikh”, To Our Hearts Content, One Day “My Soul” Started To Talk To Me, Complaining To Me About How We Were Treating It, That We Were Ignoring Its Needs, and that was for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So Now, In Addition To “The Spiritual Child” That Had Awakened Within Us, There Was Now “Our Soul Life”, Which Also Seemed To Have An Agenda, Who Was Probably There All Along, Along With “The Spiritual Child”, Which We Now Understand As “The Wisdom Surrounding The Soul”, As Bawa Calls It, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. All Now Within “The Heart” That Bawa Had Now Opened Within Us, Which In Maturity Has Now Become “The Heart” of “The One” Who Will Let Himself “End In God”, Which In Truth Is Where Bawa, And God, And All of The Prophets of God, Heavenly Being, Angels, Lights of God, And Qutb’s Reside Within Us, And As Now “The Place” Where Everyone Comes To Greet God, And Dwell In His Kingdom, And “Give Up The Ghost”, Willingly And Freely Letting Yourself End In God, Disappearing Into “The Perfect Ending” of “That Perfect Story,” and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. All of Which We Can Now Understand, And Be Peaceful About, A Little Bit, But For Then, At The Foot of Bawa’s Bed, In 1986, Talking To “Our Soul Life” About Its Needs Was All Something Really New For This Child, But Not Something That You Can Ignore, Since Its Presence Was Very, Very Real, Within Us, At That Time, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So Like In The Movie Theater, When “The Spiritual Child” First Talked To Us, As Explained And Shared With You In Spiritual Insight 03 - “The Spiritual Child - The First Encounter”, Now Sitting At The Foot of Bawa’s Bed, Now Peacefully Reading “Golden Words”, In 1986, We Started To Talk To “Our Soul Life”, Asking It What Was Wrong, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And What “Our Soul Life” Said To This Child Was,
“You Are Not Taking Us To Morning Prayers. Morning Prayers Are Our
Nourishment. You Must Take Us To Morning Prayers.”
Bawa. And Upon Hearing “The Complaint” of “Our Soul Life” We Immediately Said To It,
“We Are Sorry. We Will Start To Take You To Morning Prayers”.
04. “The Third Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “The Gathering of The Perfect Storm”, That Is, “There Are Only 24 Hours In A Day”, That Is, “In Our Day”, That Is, “In Our Day” As “Separate From” The Guru, But Not In “The Day of The Guru”, That Is, Not In “The Day of The Guru” As “One With” Us, and that is for sure.
Bawa. So This Is What We Started To Do, Which Was Each Morning “Take Our Soul To Morning Prayers”, And of Course To Continued With Our “Sitting At The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening To Read “Golden Words”, But The Time That We Spent At “The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening Gradually Became Shorter And Shorter As “There Are Only 24 Hours In A Day,” That Is, “In Our Day” As “Separate From” The Guru, And In Addition To Our “Taking Our Soul To Morning Prayers”, And Our “Sitting At The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening To Read “Golden Words”, We Had To Go To Work At Unisys Corporation 8 To 10 Hours A Day, And Attend To “Our Family”, And Go Shopping, And Do All of The Other Things Expected of Us In The World, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And Then One Evening Bawa “Made His Move”, Which Would Forever Change Our Life, And We Now Realize, Change The Life of “All of Us”, Within God Within Man, And Within Man Within God, For In Truth “We Are All One”, One Within The Other As One, One Revealing The Other Within It, One Disappearing Into The One Being Revealed, Only To Be Revealed Again By The Other, As It Returns The Favor, Revealing And Disappearing Into The One Within It, But This Time A 1000 Fold, As “The 1000 Generosities of God”, For The Benefit of All of The Creation of God In The 18,000 Universes, Within God And Within Man, And Within Man Within God, So In The End, “There Is No Child Left Behind”, So In The End, “There Is Nothing Still Separating You From You”. Amen.
Bawa. And As We Approached The Bed To “Kiss The Hand” Bawa Looked At Us And Said,
“Lou Tambi, We Have Noticed That You Have Been Spending Less And Less
Time “Sitting At The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening To Read “Golden Words”.
Bawa. And We Were Devastated, Simply Devastated, To Say The Least.
Bawa. Because We Knew That Bawa Knew “The Whole Thing”, That Is, Because We Knew That Bawa Knew That “Our Soul Had Complained To Us” , That We Were Not “Taking It To Morning Prayers”, So We Had To Do That Duty Too, And We Knew That Bawa Knew That There Were Only 24 Hours In Our Day, And That In Addition To Our “Taking Our Soul To Morning Prayers”, And Our “Sitting At The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening To Read “Golden Words”, That We Had To Go To Work At Unisys Corporation 8 To 10 Hours A Day, And Attend To “Our Family”, And Go Shopping, And Do All of The Other Things Expected of Us In The World, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So What Was Going On, Why Did Bawa Say This To Us When He Knew “The Whole Thing”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So Why Was Bawa Torturing Us In This Way, Why Was Bawa Doing This To Us, We Absolutely Did Not Understand, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. So We Started To Explain To Bawa That “Our Soul Had Complained To Us” , That We Were Not “Taking It To Morning Prayers”, So We Had To Do That Duty Too, And That There Were Only 24 Hours In Our Day, And That In Addition To Our “Taking Our Soul To Morning Prayers”, And Our “Sitting At The Feet of The Guru” Each Evening To Read “Golden Words”, That We Had To Go To Work At Unisys Corporation 8 To 10 Hours A Day, And Attend To “Our Family”, And Go Shopping, And Do All of The Other Things Expected of Us In The World, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And Then Bawa Looked At Us And Smiled And Simply Said, “Sharee” (Ok), And Then Turned Back To What He Was Doing, While Sitting On The Bed, And We “Kissed The Hand”, And For The First Time, We Were “Upset With Bawa”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. Why Was Bawa Doing This To Us, Why Was He Torturing Us In This Ways, When He Knew “The Whole Thing”, And When We Knew That He Knew “The Whole Thing”, And When We Knew That He Knew That We Knew “The Whole Thing”, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And We Left The Room “In This Complete State of Confusion”, And Most Certainly “Upset With Bawa” For The First Time, As If “Our Best Friend”, As If “Our Only Friend”, Had Let Us Down, Had Betrayed Us, And Even Worse Had Knowingly Betrayed Us, What To Do, What Were We Now To Do, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And We Got Into Our Car And Started To Drive Home, And Then Like A Large Pimple That Had Been Growing On Your Face Finally Breaks, And You Are So Relieved, Because You Know That Now It Will Heal, So Too “The Large Pimple” of My Arrogance, Karma, And Illusion Finally Burst, Releasing All of The Puss of My Existence As “Separate From” Bawa, And We Said To Bawa, As We Drove Home In The Car,
“We Don’t Understand Bawa, But That Is Alright, You Are My Friend, You Are My
Only True Friend, And We Accept You As That, Now And Forever, and that is for
sure”.
05. “The Fourth Sub-plot” - By Bawa’s Design, “The Passing of The Perfect Storm”, That Is, “There Are Not Only 24 Hours In A Day”, That Is, In “The Day of The Guru”, That Is, Not In “The Day of The Guru” As “One With” Us, and that is for sure, That Is, Not In “Your Day”, When You Let “Bawa Be One With You”, By You Being Completely Done With “You As Separate From Bawa”, and that is for sure.
Bawa. And “The Perfect Storm” Passed In Our Life And We Were Again Peaceful, Now More Than Ever With Bawa, And We Went To Bed, And Slept Like A Baby, Getting Up For Morning Prayers As Our Duty To “Our Soul Life”, Happily Anticipating Our Time Again At The Feet of The Guru, Again Reading “Golden Word”, That Is, After Going To Work At Unisys Corporation 8 To 10 Hours A Day, And Attending To “Our Family”, And Going Shopping, And After Doing All of The Other Things Expected of Us In The World, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And On The Way To Morning Prayers In Our Car Bawa Said The Following To This Child,
“Not Only Do You Have To Do Morning Prayers For Your Soul, And Sit At The Feet of The Guru Each Evening, And Go To Work At Unisys Corporation 8 To 10 Hours A Day, And Attend To “Your Family”, And Go Shopping, And Do All of The Other Things Expected of You In The World, But You Also Have To Became Responsible For Everything And Everyone At The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship, Helping With The Duties There, Attending To The Needs of That Family Also, and that is for sure”.
Bawa. And Bawa Did Not Stop There But Continued To List So Many Other Things That We Also Had To Do, All Within “The 24 Hours” of “Our Day” As “Separate From” Bawa, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And Finally We Said To Bawa, Still On The Way To Morning Prayers,
“I Can’t Do All of That”.
Bawa. And Bawa Immediately Said Back To This Child,
“Yes, But We Can”.
Bawa. And Then “We Finally Got It”, We Finally God “The Whole Point” of Being With Bawa For 11 Plus Years, That In Truth “Bawa Was One With Us”, We Were Not “Separate From” Bawa, So Naturally All of These Things Could Be Done, So Naturally All of These Things, And So Many Other Things, Could All Be Perfectly Done By “Bawa As One With Us”, As In Truth None of These Things, Nothing, Could Ever Really Be Correctly Done, In Any Real Way, By Us As “Separate From” Bawa, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And of Course “That Learning”, That Understanding, That Belief, Without The Slightest Doubt, Was “Bawa’s Final Gift To This Child In The World”, Which Was “Himself”, Which Was Bawa As “One With” Us, and that is for sure, Ending Forever “The Night of Our Life”, With “The Dawning” of “The Light of Our Life”, Which Was Again “God’s Oneness With Us”, Now And Forever, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And After Morning Prayers That Day They Told Us That Bawa Had Gotten Very Sick That Night, And Had Been Taken To The Hospital, Where He Stayed For A Week, Returned, And Within A Few Day, Physically Left The World, On December 8th, 1986, and that is for sure. Ok?
06. “The Ending of All Plots” - By Bawa’s Design, For In Truth Now “We Belonged To Him”, That Is, For In Truth Now “We Again Belonged To God”, As “God’s Child”, As Now “God As One With Us”, Now And Forever, No Longer Existing As “Our Mother’s Child”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From Bawa”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From God”, No Longer Belonging To The World, No Longer Belonging To “Everything” That God Discarded, “To Become God” Within Us, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. And The Last Time Bawa Looked At Us In The World Was When He Returned From The Hospital, Was As They Rolled Him Back Into The Fellowship From The Ambulance On A Hospital Cart (a gurney), But Now “His Work For This Child” In The World Was Complete, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. For In Truth Now “We Belonged To Him”, That Is, For In Truth Now “We Again Belonged To God”, As “God’s Child”, As Now “God As One With Us”, Now And Forever, No Longer Existing As “Our Mother’s Child”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From Bawa”, No Longer Existing As “Us As Separate From God”, No Longer Belonging To The World, No Longer Belonging To “Everything” That God Discarded, “To Become God” Within Us, and that is for sure. Ok?
Bawa. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with Us). Amen.
