words of wisdom - "What should we do when we see faults in others?" QUESTION: What should we do when we see faults in others? BAWA MUHAIYADDEEN: Primarily, we must try to correct our own faults. If we analyze every point within us, we will find that the faults we see in others are really within ourselves. peace of mind : children - "Why Should Anyone Choose to Have a Child?" What does Bawa say we learn from having children? Before my wife and I bring a child into this world, I want to know the reason for it. Once a child is there, we enjoy it and learn from it, but that can’t be the only reason to have a child. Why should anyone choose to have a child? forgiveness - "Hurtful in My Youth" I can see that at times I was very hurtful in the way I acted toward my parents when I was young....I want to ask God to forgive me for what I have done, but there is also another part of me that is saying I want them to know I am sorry for the pain I caused them. god articles : destruction - "How to Escape the Destruction Part 3 of 3" Precious jeweled lights of my eyes, you must realize the past, the present, and the future that is coming. If you realize this and conduct yourselves properly, you will escape. Destruction will be caused by atoms, fires, water, storms, gales, illusion, arrogance, caste, religion, and dogmas. Wars will increase; we will have to face different forms of attacks. These conditions are slowly spreading. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "How to Escape the Destruction Part 2 of 3" Therefore, precious jeweled lights of my eyes, Allah alone has laid the most exalted of all paths before us. His quality is the one path. His actions, conduct, and good behavior are the one path. His trust, His justice, His three thousand benevolences with which He shows compassion, and His attributes that make each heart become aware—these are the one path. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god aritcles : destruction - "How to Escape the Destruction Part 1 of 3" In the name of Allah the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. (Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim.) The 124,000 prophets came to this world and brought the explanations that were given to them by God, the Lord Almighty’s (Allahu ta ‘ala Nayan) divine words of grace. They taught about the creation, this world, and the hereafter (awwal, dunya, and akhirah). Some people accepted these teaching and some did not. Many opposed them and many more just did not want them. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 41st Sign of Destruction" When the world is in this state, Allahu ta’ala Nayan’s gaze will fall upon it, and a fire will come down. The force of that fire will burn from creation (awwal) to the hereafter (akhirah). By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 40th Sign of Destruction" After this period of prosperity, when Jesus (A.S.) is about to leave, he will say that the world will soon be destroyed. When he leaves, the letters of the Qur’an will change. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 39th Sign of Destruction" While the world is in this state, Jesus (A.S.) might come again. That will be the thirty-ninth sign. He will appear either in Mecca, at the Ka’bah, or in Jerusalem, at the Dome of the Rock (al-Baitul-Muqaddas). By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 38th Sign of Destruction" The thirty-eighth sign is that there will be a very big war, bigger than any air or land battle. It will be an atomic war. Destruction will occur through fire and water. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 37th Sign of Destruction" In the thirty-seventh sign, there will be mass destruction through earthquakes, storms, volcanoes, and tidal waves. Harvests and crops will be destroyed; famine and disease will be rampant. Population will increase, and rain will decrease. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 36th Sign of Destruction" The thirty-sixth sign is also already taking place. People are turning from their race, religion, philosophy, and scriptures. Kings are being destroyed. The barber is becoming a king and the king is becoming a barber. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "The 35th Sign of Destruction" The thirty-fifth sign foretold by God was a war that would be started by one with silver eyes, who would be joined by a short man from the East. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : destruction - "Introduction to the Signs of Destruction" As far as I know, God has spoken of forty-one signs that signify the destruction of the world. (9/25/79) These were revealed about one thousand years ago. (1/8/74) So far I have seen the secrets for thirty-seven of these signs, and they have all occurred in the way that was foretold. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen sufism-sufi - "Sufi: A Brief Explanation" Sufi is a unique word. “Sufi” is a unique power. It does not relate to any particular religion. It belongs to all of humanity. By: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god help me - "Cleanse Our Lives" This next question has to do with politics. If we can fulfill that obligation to cleanse our lives, to live without ego… Sufism - sufi - "Sufi Tales of Wisdom" My love you, my children. God has made many millions of creations that live in the ocean. Have you ever gone down into the ocean and seen any of them? Let’s go together and take a look at some. By: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen peace of mind - "Worry and Easing of the Mind" I was very worried about something for a while. Then, just as I was falling asleep, I felt something pop inside me. It was very strange. But then the worrying of my mind was eased, and I slept well and felt better. I was just wondering what that was. peace of mind - "What Can I Do In Order To Know Myself?" When I look within to know myself I feel confused and depressed. I want Bawa to tell me personally what I need to do in order to know myself. god articles : death - "How Can We Escape From Being Food For Hell?" What plans are we making to go on pretending to the world that we are something we are not? By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : duty - "How Will The Melting State be Shown?" Will that melting state be shown outside, like weeping, tears flowing down, or anything like that? god articles : duty - "Melting Heart" Bawa mentioned the melting heart yesterday. What does he mean by that? By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : faith - "Doubt In Myself" Bawa has said that you can't have any doubt in God. I find myself plagued by doubts in myself, and I do not know how to deal with them. I have doubts about my wisdom and my capacity to make decisions. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen god articles : Bawa Muhaiyaddeen - "What is the Fellowship?" STUDENT: What is this Fellowship? By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen peace of mind - "Transform Your Thoughts to God" As our thoughts arise, how can we transform them into thoughts of God? By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen peace of mind - "Compassion for Mental Patients" QUESTION: I also work in a mental institution, and I am having a problem with the doctor who runs the unit. She finds it hard to get along with me, because although I am the head nurse, I am not the bossy type, the kind that gives a lot of orders without understanding what is going on. So she gets very angry. I don't return the anger, I just walk off, because I know eventually she is going to shout and scream. peace of mind - "Duty to Parents" QUESTION: I left home a long time ago, and I call occasionally, maybe once every few months. I called the other night, and after I hung up I felt bad. I did not feel any kind of attachment to my sister and my mother, but I felt an obligation, a duty, to do things for them. I am wondering where my duty for my family lies. god articles : addiction - "Intoxications" QUESTIONER: We are people who have been released from one kind of intoxicant. I have been sober for thirty-three years, but we still have trouble with these other intoxications. peace of mind : children - "Teaching With Love" QUESTIONER: In several discourses Bawa mentioned how divine love can control anything, even an animal. I work as a school teacher, and I am in a position where sometimes it is my duty to control the children as I do my own child. Now I have always tried to work with them with love. peace of mind : children - "Teaching Special Education Children" QUESTION: I am a Special Education teacher. I work with children who have emotional problems and other problems. They always say, "Why do you care? Nobody else ever cared about me." At times they might not pay attention to what I say, but they will fight over who gets my affection..... peace of mind : children - "Passing Karma" QUESTION: If a parent or parents are responsible for the physical well-being of their children, are they not responsible for the karma of their children or the spiritual attainment of their children? who is god - "God is Enough" God's power is the truth of God. This truth cannot be destroyed by anything. This power is God's beauty. It is His qualities, His justice, and His peacefulness. It is the love and compassion He bestows without ego, without the 'I'. Selflessly, He gives His grace to all, keeping nothing for Himself. god articles : faith - "Fix the Point of Man to the Point of God" Last night, I had a vision in which three or four of us were trying to connect one point to another point. If we didn't succeed in aligning them precisely at the exact moment required, the world and everything in it would be destroyed. Nothing would be left. peace of mind - "The Root Cause of All Your Problems Is the Mind" God has said that the direction of one's life is determined by his thoughts and his desires. His life will unfold to fulfill whatever his mind wants. So, what has happened to you is not God's fault. god articles : faith - "The Stick of Iman" Ten million people might come to the guru, claiming that they have the strong faith, certitude, and determination called iman.(1) But when the guru strikes each person's 'strong' stick of iman against the water of wisdom over and over again, all of them will break. After three or four beatings against that water of wisdom, they will either crack in half or shatter into splinters. Only one stick in ten million will withstand the force of the water of wisdom. fear - "Free Yourself of Fear" Fear is a thief who is forever afraid of being caught, afraid of facing the truth. That thief is hiding inside you, like the thief who hides when he sees a policeman. It's up to you to chase him away. I can't do it for you. It's something you must do, but you say you don't know how, and you want me to do it for you. It doesn't work that way. god will - "A World of Examples" God says, "The many different things I created in the world are shown to you as examples. Use your wisdom to learn from them, and climb up. Look at this lotus I created. It grows up from the mud and lives in the water, but it doesn't keep any of the dirt or water on its petals. god will - "It's Not a Test, It's an Opportunity" God brings clarity to us in many different ways. One person may receive lessons through his children, another through his wife, another through his job. In a variety of ways God offers us lessons. So, each time we come face to face with a problem or a difficulty, we need to accept that it has been given to lift us up to a higher step. peace of mind - "Alone, Hungry, and Awake" It's easy to pass yourself off as a swami, but it's difficult to become a true human being. None of the acts you put on will make you a true human being. No advertising agent can negotiate that position for you, and you can't win it in an election. peace of mind - "The Real Miracle" If you have within you the qualities of a bull, a donkey, or a tiger, that's the image you project on the outside. Whatever quality is inside, you exhibit the same quality on the outside, and then you take pride in that trait. As your thoughts give more and more energy to the illusions you harbor about yourself, you give reality to them by acting them out and admiring what you've done. prayer - "A Good Habit" There's a mechanism in the body that tells you when you're hungry. It's not an alarm clock. It's more like a habit. You just know it. There's an instrument within you that knows what time you're accustomed to eating and makes you aware of it, because you've formed a habit. god articles : duty - "How Does God Hear Us" Duty is very good, but unless we know what our duty is, how can we do it? Now, here is a microphone, over there is a tape recorder, and this is the wire connecting the two. As we speak into the mike, it receives the sound of our voice, and that sound is recorded onto tape. By: Bawa Muhaiyaddeen wisdom discourses - "Truth Needs No Advertising Agent" The mind accepts everything just as you perceive it, but it's not the truth. What you're seeing is just your own perception. The whole world, the way you're looking at it, is just your own dream. peace of mind - "Look In The Mirror" A question was asked of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen: Why are there so few good people in the world today? god help me - "Grown Out of the Sorrows of Your Life" My children! You are those who have been born as the exalted being that is mankind (insan), to appear and shine in this earth-world. To some of you, the radiance of your life appears to have grown out of the sorrows of your life. That is what the radiance of your wisdom and the understanding you have gained in your life in this birth.... By: M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen peace of mind - "Stage Called the World" In this worldly existence we are continually enacting a drama on the stage called the world—a drama made up of scenes from our life. We wear different costumes, ornaments, make-up, and colors in order to portray each of the different characters we take on at different times. god articles : duty - "Shari'at" -- To understand the nature of drugs such as marijuana and opium, which dull and hypnotize your judgment and are responsible for satanic qualities, and, discarding them, to learn about the beauty of Allah's truth and to search for and acquire it is shari'at...... god articles : duty - "If a Man Comes to Realize Himself and to Know the Truth" QUESTION: Which precepts of the second station did Allah’s Rasul demonstrate by putting them into practice?

Put that aside and investigate your body of ignorance. words of wisdom - "Divine Analytic Wisdom" Also within this form, the radiant effulgence called divine analytic wisdom.... god articles : faith - "Hadith by the Kamil Shaikh" My children! We are mankind (insan), those who have been created as the most exalted beings by the compassion of Allah’s love. It is our belief that Allahu ta’ala Nayan sent down to the noble Prophet Muhammad 6,666 verses (ayat), which are the divine word of the Thiru Qur’an, (1) and that these divine verses were sent down in the Arabic language to the scripture called Furqan (Islam). And we believe this to be true. god articles : wisdom discourses - "Explanations of the Characteristics of a Meingnana Guru" My son, the human race is composed of millions upon millions of lives, each having its own subtle grade of wisdom. Among these human beings there are also millions upon millions of different kinds of spiritual teachers. Each disciple, filled with the acquired qualities and actions that match his wisdom, will join a teacher whose wisdom and powers seem, to that disciple’s intellect, to be appropriate for him. wisdom discourses - "A Hadith: Qutb Muhaiyaddeen and The Catching Chain" Qutb Muhaiyaddeen, in the ripeness of age, came and sat in the mosque of shari’at in time for the early morning prayer, fajr. The one who functioned as imam for that mosque in those times came to the mosque and led the people in prayer. Although the Qutb was in the mosque, he did not join in the prayer during that waqt. The imam noted this and went away. At the midday prayer, zuhr, the imam came again to the mosque and led the prayer, but the Qutb did not pray then either. wisdom quotes - "Wayward Mind" "Do not follow the ways... god articles : faith - "Faith and Suppressing the Mind" "Faith is like the taproot which gives strength to a tree.
