Here is an on-line copy of "Golden Words 907" (www.GoldenWords907. homestead.com), the "Five Duties", which is one of the 958 Golden Word Sayings in the beautiful book of wisdom, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and by God within Him, and now on the "outside" of us, by His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), for example, like in this E-mail on "Golden Words 907", to each of us. [Note: To access an on-line "Table of Contents" for the book "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh" (www.GoldenWords.homestead.com) please click above or HERE. Thank you. Enjoy. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen]. Bawa. That is, and now on the "outside" of us, by the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, that is, if the true intention for our life within us, for our soul life, is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, but this time with an understanding of "Our Oneness" so it will never leave us again, if we like, for the Choice to use our life in this way, or not, is our Choice, not God's, that is, the Choice to join in partnership with God within us, to allow God to "finish" what God has started within us, a very, very long time ago, that is, to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, is our Choice, not God's. Bawa. That is, the Choice to do this, or not, within us, in partnership within God within us, or not, in order to Complete "God's Intention" within us, is our Choice, not God that is, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us, that is, after God tells and brings to Completion the Story of God within us, which in truth is the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us, so that in the end, there be nothing "Left over", there is "nothing of God" within us, left over, left behnd, in the end, there is no "aspects of God" within us, that in its ignorance, and in its arrogance about its ignorance, that is still "separate from" God within us, in the end, nothing in the end that is still holding onto a belief in its "separation from" God within us, no matter what, that is, no matter what God has shown and told us to the contrary, that in truth "We are All One". Amen. Bawa. And since in truth, "There is nothing on the "outside" of us", that in truth "Everything is within us", and in truth, "There is nothing other than God" within us, and in truth "Only God exists" within us, and in truth, "God is One" within us, then this intention of God, that "No Child Be Left Behind", applies to "Everything", as well as to the "Essence of Everything", and as well as to God within us, and to True Man within God within us, because in truth, "We are All One". And that is the "truth of it", no matter what, no matter what we may currently believe, or have experience, to the contrary, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance. Amen Bawa. And "Golden Words 907", "The Five Duties", is a beautiful explanation about this "truth of it", that is about the "truth of us", about the "truth of God" within the "truth of us", and about the"truth of True Man" within the "truth of God" within the "truth of us", that allows us, if we like, to properly line up our life on the "outside" of us, with the life of God within us, and with the life of True Man within God within us, allowing God within us to "finish" what God is doing" within us, which is telling "His Story" within us, in order to complete "His intention" within us. Bawa. That is, allowing God to reveal God to God within us, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within us, allowing God to tell and bring to Complete "His Story" within us, in order to complete "His Intention' within us, that "No Child Be Left Behind" within us, so this time, "His Story" truly comes to Completion within us, no matter what, no matter how far any of us is currently "separated from" God within us, that is, no matter how far any of us is currently away from "Oneness with" Him within us, so this time "His Story" within us become "Our Story" within Him within us, so this time, He will not have to tell "His Story" again within us. Amen. Bawa. And a beautitul clarity about "how God does this" within us, that is, how God "finishes" what "He started" within us, in order to Complete "His Intention" within us, if we will only let Him, is provided in Golden Words 907, if we like, providing us with clear guidance on "how to properly perform" the "5 Duties" within us, that many of us are correctly striving to accomplish in our lifetime, that is, in our ignorance, and in our arrogance about our ignorance, on the "outside" of us, trying to do them, as if we are "separate from" God within us, but which in truth can only be accomplished by God within us, that is, by "us" allowing God to use our life within us, before we die to the flesh in ur current state, to tell and to bring to Completion within us, as "His Story" within us. Bawa. That is, "The Five Duties" within us, of: 1) Duty To God 2) Duty To Our Shaikh 3) Duty To The Fellowship 4) Duty To The Family 5) Duty To The World Bawa. May God open our hearts, if we will only let Him, to the true meaning of these "5 duties" in our life, and how we can only do them properly in "partnership with God" within us, that is, as "One with" God within us, or they will become but another reflections of our current life and state, and be of no true value to us, that is, of our current life and state of "us" living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if we are "separate from" God within us, all of which is not true, all of which is only leading us to an eternal hell of "separation from" God within us, that is, in the end, when we die to the flesh in our current state. Bawa. My dearest loving brothers and sisters, may we all think about this a little bit, before we "Say or do" anything on the "outside" of us, as it is very important, as it will truly determine how we will be spending our eternal life within us, that is, as either "One with" God within us, or as "separate from" God within us, and may we at least start to do this, this living correctly in partnership with God within us, before it is too late to do anything about it, that is, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and an eternal hell of "separation from" God becomes our lot, and before at least one of us destroys the "outside" of us, for all of us, which is also a very real possibility in our age. Amem. Bawa. May all the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. May God help us all. Amen. Bawa.

He often talks about duty to God, duty to the Shaikh, duty to the Fellowship, duty to the family, and duty to the world". His Holiness: There are hundreds of millions of duties, not just these five. The 3,000 gracious attributes of Allah are His Duties, the 99 actions are His duties. You spoke of only five. What are our duties? There are hundreds of thousands of kinds of duties". 1) Duty to God - which is duty to the Shaikh "outside" of us, treating Him as our "Second God", after our mother and father, who are our "First God", and before we actually meet God within us, who is our "Third God", causing our Shaikh "outside" of us to become our soul, to become the Nur Muhammad within us, while we become His form, we become the "Windows" in the house of wisdom within us, which are the 99 attributes or wilayats or powers of God within us, which is the completion of the Creation of God within us, which are the 1000 generosities of God within us. Amen "First of all, do service to God. God is the Katpaha Virudcham, the tree of plenitude of faith (within us, the tree of Iman-Islam or of "Perfect Purity" within us) which gives you everything you ask. Nourish that tree within you with the water of wisdom (grace). That is duty to God." 2) Duty to The Shaikh - which is duty to the Shaikh "within us", to His word "within us", in this way moving the "Word' of the Shaikh from "outside" of us to within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" as our lot. Amen "Then do service to the Shaikh. The true Shaikh is the ripe fruit on that tree. Taste that fruit and preserve its nourishing sweetness within you. That is duty to your Shaikh." 3) Duty To The Fellowship - which is the duty of wisdom, duty to the wisdom of our Shaikh, which is the house of wisdom within us, the palace of the soul within us, which is our 6th life within us, our light form within us, which we must establish within us, as the "House of Light" for our soul, before we die to the flesh in our current state, so we can go off the "Next" of God's Schools within us, which is the "School of Light" within us, where God will personally teach us about God within us, and about True Man within God within us, about the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, which in truth is God and True Man within us. Amen "Do service to the Fellowship. The Fellowship is a place of light (within you) that exists (within you) to dispel the darkness (within you) in the heart. Those who have attained wisdom in that place (within you) must do duty with a loving heart." "The duty of wisdom is to know your own self, and when you realize yourself, you will realize your own state. As soon as you understand your own state, you will see the plenitude of God dwelling within you, and you being within God (within you)". (And in this way, you will see God within you and you within God, as God within True Man and as True Man within God, and as such you and God are One, One within the other as One, One revealing the other within it as One hides oneself within the One being revealed, only to be revealed again, later, by the One now being revealed) "Then there will be no duality (either between you and God within you, or between you and the Creation of God within you). With the 3,000 gracious qualities of God, you will show compassion to all lives (within you)." "That is duty to the Fellowship, and to the Children of the Fellowship (which in truth are the Creation of God within us who are Shepherded by the Qutb of God within us). It will become a precious gem for your life." 4) Duty to The World Family - which includes our "personal" family that we are currently treating as "separate from" all other "personal" families, which in truth is what is keeping us "separate from" God within us. Amen "What does it mean to do duty to the family? Is there something called a family? The family and the world are really one. The whole world is your family. Do duty for the world." "Be one who loves all lives, one who exists as the form of compassion (for all lives within you), and be of service and help them. That is duty to the world family." 5) Duty to Ourselves - which is our true duty or Allah's miracle within us, which is allowing "God to happen" within us, by first allowing "True Man to happen" within us, that is, to first allow "True Man to happen" within us, as the awakened wisdom surrounding our soul, within the Creation of God within us, as Completeness within the grace of God within us, as the "Tree of Iman" within us, as the "96 Potentialities" within us, as the "Justice of Kings" within us, allowing "God to happen" within "True Man" within the Creation of God within us, as wisdom within Completeness within us, as our liberated soul joined as "One with" our awakened wisdom in "A state of propriety mingled with the Nur", as True Prayer within us, the "Prayer of the One to the One who Is" within us, as the "Tree of Iman-Islam" within us, as the "99 Potentialities" within us, as the "Justice of Man" within us, allowing "True Man to happen" again within us but this time within God within within us, as Truth within wisdom within us, as the "1 within the 99 Potentialities" within us, as the "Justice of Conscience" within us, as the Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, allowing "God to happen" again within us but this time within True Man within us, as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within us, and if we do, if we join in partnership with God within us, to let this truly happen within us, or at least to truly start to let this happen within us, before we die to the flesh in our current state, and get an eternal hell of "separation from" God as our lot, then God will do "everything Else", to make our life truly successful in our life time, then in the end, "We will be within it", within the From of "Grace in the Form of Light", as the "understanding", as the Witness, as the "Consciousness within the Form of Divine Luminous Wisdom", as "The One", and in this way, in the end, there will be "No Child Left Behind", if we like, for the Choice to do this or not, with what God has given us, which is Everything, is our Choice, not God's. Amen. "Therefore, with your good qualities, actions, and conduct, acquire God's qualities. To acquire His qualities and serve others, bringing love and peace to their hearts, is your duty and Allah's miracle. When you attain that state, all lives will bow to you." ============================================================== Analysis & Discussion - of Golden Words 907, by our dear brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler) - In process.
