The Mind: Part 3 of 3 Instead of this however, for many years you have been spending forty-five minutes, an hour, four hours, or five hours a day in search of peace by using new techniques. If you want Peace, give up these techniques and still your mind for ten minutes, for twenty minutes, or for even five minutes. Please think about this. Think deeply about this. Do this with Iman—with absolute and complete Faith, Certitude of Belief, Determination to realize God, and Wisdom. Having thought about this with your Wisdom, please look into your heart and reflect over this thought. Sit down, and for ten minutes, recite these two words in your heart: La Ilaha. (Other than You there is nothing.) Ill Allahu. (You are God.) Other than You there is no God. You are God. You are God. There is no other God than You. Say this within the depths of your heart. Say it for twenty minutes or ten minutes or five minutes, by sitting in one place, focusing your attention on the heart, and saying it with determination. Please say it in the mornings, in the evenings, or before you eat, for even five minutes. Looking within your heart with determination and concentration, the more you go on reciting this Kalimah, the more you will begin to experience so much bliss. You will see a great light there. You will see paradise there. You will see a large palace there. You will see a large blissful house there. You will see an immense light. You will see the heavenly maidens there. You will see a large flower garden there. You will see a large fruit orchard there. You will see an immense river there. You will see a magnificent ocean of milk there. You will see a huge river of honey there. You will see the Grace which will give you bliss and cause you to be intoxicated. You will see a large palace seven stories high. You will see heaps and heaps of silver, gold, and pure gold used for decorations. You will see heaven’s large palace, which is eight stories high. You will see the house where you are going to live. There you will be able to experience the bliss that belongs to your Shaikh—your Guru. You will see the maidens of heaven inviting you. You will see heavenly angels that will take you around. You will see the angels inviting you. You will see the section where Munkar and Nakir [the two angels who inquire at the grave, concerning good and evil] are, and where judgment takes place. You will see the beginning and the end. You will see many, many beings there. As you recite this Kalimah more and more, you will experience more and more bliss. You will see things flying. You will see things going. You will go there and see that Light. You will go within and see. You will see the seven heavens open up. You will see the crossing of the seven worlds. You will see that which transcends maya and goes within. As you go further and further within your heart, you will see wonder after wonder after wonder. You will see honey come into your mouth, and you will experience the taste of it without eating it. You will taste the deliciousness of fruit that has come into your mouth without plucking it. You will see the fruit smile, then come to your mouth; it will even squeeze the juice into your mouth. You will see food come into your mouth before you can intend it. Whatever food you may want will come like that. Whatever service you may need will be done before you can think about it. Before you can even think about it, you will be lifted and carried to places you need to go. You will see ‘alam [the world], arwah [the hereafter], and all of everything there. You will see the eight heavens. You will see the seven hells. You will see all the wonders that are happening there. You will hear the Sounds and the Secrets of God. You will hear the Bliss of God. You will hear the Resonance of God. You will see the Light of God. You can see all the wonders there. Like this, when you are witnessing this bliss, and while you are reciting this Word—this Kalimah—which must become deeply impressed within your heart, that house will be opened. The bliss that you experience when that house is opened will give you Peace of Mind. It is from that bliss that you can achieve Peace. Once this baby has seen and seen this bliss, it will say, “Ah, ah, ah! What bliss this is! What bliss this is! Is there more bliss than this?” Then the baby will go to sleep. The mind will become entranced. The mind will just go to sleep. Everyday that the mind looks at this, it will say, “That is good! That is so good!” You will go on increasing the amount of time that you spend reciting this Word, first ten minutes, then twenty minutes, then twenty-five minutes, thirty minutes, thirty-five minutes, then forty minutes. And as you experience so much bliss, you will keep on saying this more and more. You will keep on thinking and thinking of this and saying this Word. This Word is what will give you Peace. Once you have crossed this path, you will be shown the secrets of the three worlds. You will be shown bliss, and it will make you understand. This State is bliss. If you achieve this State, this is Peace of Mind. My children, the gems of my eyes, please make this State firm. This is Meditation. T his is what will give you Peace of Mind. This is what will give Peacefulness to the mind. This is the Path through which the mind can become enamored. This Path existed then, and it exists now. (But we have given that up and we are holding a ‘new method’ in our hands.) That Way appeared at the time when Adam appeared and it continues to be that Way. But man has forsaken that Way. He is holding onto the world but has forsaken the Truth. He has forsaken the Truth, and that is what is wrong. It is not God who has forsaken us and made us suffer! That potential to achieve Peace exists now and has always existed. If what has been given up or forsaken is taken back into the hands again, Peace will be achieved. Peace of Mind will be achieved. When that Peace of Mind is achieved, it will give everything. It will give good benefits. It will give money. It will cure the 4,448 diseases of the nerves. It will remove the 84 kinds of diseases caused by air. It will cure the diseases of karma. It will cure the disease of illusion. It will cure the diseases of arrogance. It will cure the 21 diseases of the eyes caused by things that cover the eyes. It will cure all the diseases of the eyes, and it will give vision. It will increase the vision of the eyes. It will make the eyes clear, it will relieve the pain of the eyes, it will remove the things which cover the eyes, and it will give peace in that way. It will cure the 18 kinds of sinus diseases. It will cure the 18 types of rectal diseases, like bleeding hemorrhoids, prolapsed hemorrhoids, and all the diseases associated with the rectum. It will cure all the diseases of the urine, like sugar in the urine. It will cure headaches, dizziness, torpor, and suffering. It will cure the 96 madnesses. It will cure oozing diseases. It will cure diseases of the skin. It will cure eczema. It will cure diseases of the flesh. It will cure diseases of the marrow. It will cure all diseases. It will cure diseases of the nerves. It will cure diseases of the bones. It will cure the karmic diseases of man. It will cure exhaustion and tiredness. It will cure asthma. It will cure bronchitis. It will cure tuberculosis. It will cure cancer. Like this, it will cure so many, many diseases. It will make you have a long life. It will make you look sixteen years old. It will bring beauty to you. It will bring beauty to your face. It will change your blood into the blood of a young child. The eyes will become the eyes of a young child. The skin will become the skin of a young child. The bones will become the bones of a young child. It will give you the qualities of a young child. It will give you the cells of a young child. It will give the bliss of a young child. When you continue meditation in this way, youthful qualities, youthful beauty, youthful light, and youthful color will be seen in you. In this state, these things will be experienced. Whatever you may want or need you will receive. You will get cash. You will receive money, and you will get peace. This is something that can give you everything. It will remove diseases, illnesses, poverty, difficulties, dangers, and accidents. It will remove all these things. This is a State that existed before and that will always exist. But man has forsaken this. If you establish this State again, you can achieve Peace. That is Peace. La Ilaha. There is nothing other God. Ill Allahu, You are God. If you say this for five, ten, or fifteen minutes, you can achieve that Peace of Mind. If you intend this in your heart with Faith, Certitude, and Determination, you can achieve Peace of Mind. You can close your eyes, or you can open your eyes, but you must look intently within your heart. Then you can achieve, whatever you intend. That Peace will come and the mind will go to sleep. It will go to sleep for a long time. Whatever you look at, your thoughts will be in heaven, in paradise with the heavenly beings and the angels. Whatever you intend with Faith will be seen as you go further and further within. It will be opened and you will see. The mind will just fall asleep. Desire will be destroyed. The monkey, having seen that Light, will become tired and weary. The monkey will become tired, desire will become dazzled, and the mind will become absorbed and entranced. It will have seen bliss. That State is Meditation. If you want Peace, recite this Kalimah. This is the way to Peace of Mind. This is Peacefulness. This is heaven. This is life. This is bliss. This is destiny. If you want Peace, you must do this. This is very necessary for you. Of all the things that you can do in the world, you should do this. Every child should do this. This is Peace. At that time [the time of creation] God gave the commandment to say this Kalimah, and now He wants you to say this. Of all things this is the best. It is because we have forsaken this that we are suffering. Do not forsake this. From now on recite this Kalimah. Through this you will attain Peace of Mind. Ameen. Ameen. Ameen. Muhaiyaddeen, M.R.
