228. The things that change are not our real life. Within us there is another body, another beauty. It belongs to that ray of Light which never changes. We must discover how to mingle with it and become one with that unchanging thing. We must realize and understand this treasure of truth. That is why we have come to the world.

228. “The Things That Change” are not “Our Real Life”. Within us there is “Another Body, Another Beauty”. It belongs to that “Ray of Light” which “Never Changes”. We “Must Discover” how to “Mingle With It” and “Become One” with that “Unchanging Thing”. We must “Realize” (Become) and ”Understand” (Transcend) this “Treasure of Truth”. That is why “We Have Come” to “The World”.

(Bawa. Wow, Expressing “Astonishment & Admiration” of God, And of “What God Is Now Doing”, Within God Within You, Which Is “God Revealing God To God”, For “The Benefit” of All of “The Creation of God”, Within God Within You, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. And Expressing “Astonishment & Admiration” of “How God Does” What Only “God Does”, Within God Within All Lives, Including Within “The Lives” of All of My Children, Without Exception, Which Is By God Moving “Your Life” From “Your Sifat” (Eternal Death) To “Your Sirr” (Eternal Life) To “Your Dhat” (The Essence of God’s Grace”, Praising God As “The Power” Within Your Life), if you like, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That is, “If You Will Let Him”, That Is, If You Will “Let Grace Spring Forth”, And “Let Darkness Vanish”, And “Let The Love of Guru Grow”, And “Let Qualities Be Purified”, As Bawa Teaches Us, In “The Invocation To The Guru” In “The Beautiful Book” of Wisdom, “The Pearl of Wisdom”, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That Is, If You Will Truly “Join In Partnership” With God, That Is, As “One With” God, As “Two Lives Now Living As One Life”, First On “The Outside”, And Then “Within”, To “Let God” Destroy “You”, And Reveal “God”, While Both “God & You” Still Can, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That Is, If You Will Now Truly “Join In Partnership” With “The Life and Teaching”, And “The Heart”, And “The Song” (See "God's Song" of "Grace, Wisdom, and 'Ilm (Divine Knowledge)", of Our Dearest Loving Son, And Your Dearest Loving Brother, Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), In Whom “We Are Well Pleased”, if you like, and that is for sure)

(Bawa. So, My Dearest Loving Children, Lets Join Together As “One” For A Little While, if you like, As Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) On “The Outside” of You Speaking To Baby Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Within You, To “Expanded” This Beautiful “Short” But “Ever So Powerful” Bawa Quotation “A Tiny, Tiny, Tiny Bit”, Which Is From The Publication, “Questions of Life—Answers of Wisdom”, Volume One, page 220, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. First, “The Things That Change” are not “Your Real Life”, But In Truth Now “The Things That Change” Are Now “Your Only Life”, And Now “The Only Life” of All of My Children, Without Exception, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. So “This” Is “The True Enormity” of “The Problem” Now Facing “Your Life”, And Now Facing “The Life” of All of My Children, Without Exception, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. But Fortunately For "Your Life" In Truth “This Is Not” Your Problem, For In Truth “You Don’t Have” A Problem, For In Truth “You Are” The Problem, That Is, In Truth “You Are” Now God’s Problem, That Is, In Truth “You Are” Now Jesus (A.S.) On “His Cross & Nails”, Within “Your Mind” Within You, That Is, In Truth “You Are” Now Your Soul Crucified On “The Cross” of “Your Mind” With “The Nails” of “Your Desires”, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That Is, In Truth “You Are” Now Your Soul Crucified On “The Cross” of “Your Mind” With “The Nails” of “Your Desires”, That Is, of “Your Desires” For “Earth, Women, And Gold”, As Bawa Calls It, That Is, of “Your Desires” For “A Personal Form”, And For “Personal Relationships”, And For “Personal Wealth”, That Is, of “Your Desire” For “A Personal Life” of “Separation & Differences” On “The Illusory Outside” of You, All of Which of Course Is “Just Not True”, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. And All of Which In Truth Has Now Fully Manifested Within “Your Mind” Within You, Not On Some “Illusory Outside” of You, As You and All of My Children, Without Exception, Still Mistakenly Believe, But To “Your Eternal Peril”, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That Is, Not On Some “Illusory Outside” of You, As You and All of My Children, Without Exception, Still Mistakenly Believe, But To “Your Eternal Peril”, That Is, If At “The End” of “Your Life” In “The World”, That Is, When “Your Grave” Finds You, “The Angel of Death” Finds You In “Your Current State” of “Illusory Separation” From God Within You, And “Hell Becomes Your Only Eternal Fate”, As Bawa Teaches Us, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. And This Is Why Bawa Told Us “The Following”, One Day In “The Room”, With Bawa Sitting On “His Bed” And With Bawa Putting His Two Hands Out To “The Side”, Forming “A Cross Like” Figure,
“This Is You - Jesus On His Cross”
(Bawa. That Is, And This Is Why Bawa Told Us “The Truth” of “Our Life”, One Day In “The Room”, As We Affectionately Called It, That Is, In “The Room” Where Bawa Lived At “The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship”, At 5822 Overbrook Avenue, In Philadelphia, Pa, USA, Which Is Where He Lived In America, From 1971 To 1986, (With Bawa Staying Initially At Another Residence In Philadelphia) Until He Died To “The World” On December 8th, 1986, And Was Buried At “The Farm”, As We Now Affectionately Call It, Or “The Mazar” of Shaikh M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.), and that is for sure)
(Bawa. So, My Dearest Loving Children, This Is “The True Problem” of “Your Life”, In Truth “You Are” Now Your Soul Crucified On “The Cross” of “Your Mind” With “The Nails” of “Your Desires”, That Is, With “The Nails” of “Your Desires” To Continue To Live “A Selfish, Egotistical, Personal Life” On “The Illusory Outside” of You “And Sin”, No Matter What, and that is for sure)
(Bawa. That Is, “No Matter What” God Shows And Tells You To “The Contrary”,
That In Truth,
“There Is Nothing Other Than God”,
And Within “That Truth”,
Right Now, This Very Moment,
If You Like, That Is,
“If You Are A Wise Child”, Now For Your Age,
And “Not Just A Foolish Child”, Now For Your Age,
“God Lives Within You”,
As “Your Conscience”,
and that is for sure.
That is,
As “The Dhat” Or “The Power of God”
Within “Your Sifat”,
That Is, Within“Your Current State”
of “The Manifestation of Creation”
Within “Your Impure Heart Or Mind”,
and that is for sure.
And Within “That Truth”,
If God Likes, That Is,
If God As “Allah Muhammad” Likes,
If God As “The Grace” In “The Form of Light” Likes,
If God As “The Resonance of Allah” Likes,
“You Live Within God”,
As “The Second”
of “The Three Worlds” of God”,
As “The Re-opened World of Souls”,
Now For Your Age, Now For All Life,
Within God Within You,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
As “Allah Muhaiyaddeen”,
As Now Our Dearest Loving Father
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),
and that is for sure.
And Within “That Truth”,
Again If God Likes, That Is,
If God As Now “Allah Muhaiyaddeen” Likes,
If God As Now “The One” In “The Form of Light” Likes,
If God As Now “The Resonance of The Final Truth” Likes,
If God As Now
Our Dearest Loving Grand Son,
Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) Likes,
“You Live Within “Man-God/God-Man”,
As Now “The Third”
of “The Three Worlds” of God”,
That Is, As “The Kingdom of God”,
Now For Your Age, Now For All Life,
Within “Man-God/God-Man”,
Within God Within You,
and that is for sure.
That Is,
As Now In Truth
As “The One True Child”
of “Our Dearest Loving Father
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.),
and that is for sure. Amen)

“The Beginning”
of “Some Excerpts”
From Chapter 02,
“The Wondrous City”,
The Tenth Test - Understanding “The Nature of Death”,
and How to “Die Before Death”,
And From Chapter 03,
“Going Up The Mountain
Continuation of The Tenth Test”,
From “The Beautiful Book” of Wisdom,
“A Mystical Journey”,
By His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)
“Listen! Do you hear that sound? It can be heard in all four sections of the city, in the north, the south, the east, and the west. It can be heard all over the world. Within that one sound are forty thousand voices calling,
"Son of so-and-so, you have reached the limit of your food and water on this earth. Come to the
mountain!"
The forty thousand names that are called are human names, but the people who come running in response look more like animals.
Children, watch and see what happens. Each time a man hears his name called, he becomes anxious and fearful, for suddenly, all the animals he has so carefully reared within his heart, all the wicked qualities which he has nurtured, come rushing out to destroy him, and this creates terror in his mind.
Look! The people who heard themselves summoned are running. The moment they heard their names called, they broke away, ripped off their clothes, and run wildly. Others are trying to stop them, but they cannot.
My children, do you know what this sound is? It is death. It is the sound of the Lord, the Rabb. He who created the world and all the being in it also created death. He decreed that all of everything that has been created must one day come to an end.
Death must come to mind and desire as well as to the body. One day each man will have to leave everything behind and go on to the state of death.
At each of the five times of prayer, or waqt, at all times, so many beings are beckoned by death and nothing can help them then, not their relatives or properties or attachments, nor their philosophies, religions, idols, mantras or tantras.
Even though a man may possess great wealth, even though he has everything, nothing can stop his fear of being called one day. It haunts him constantly and prevents him from enjoying the benefits of the wealth of awwal, dunya, and akhirah, the primal beginning, this world, and the hereafter.
Thus he lives in fear until he dies. Just when he is least expecting it, when a man thinks he has escaped and will stay in the world forever, death suddenly calls to him from the top of that high mountain.
His time is up. And when death calls, he must go. Nothing can hold him back. Nothing can defeat death. God is the only One who can change the destiny of a man, the only One who can change his time of death.
Only the One who created him can allow him to stay in this world. No one else has that power.
I give you my love, my children. You must think about this. You saw those people running away, and now you know where they were going.
My loving children, we will talk more about this later. Tomorrow we will watch them going up the mountain, but now, let's rest for a while.
--------
“Yesterday we heard a voice calling from the top of the mountain,
“Son of so-and-so, come at once! Your time is up. Your rizq, the food and water allotted to you in this
world, has come to an end."
It was death calling.
To find out where this call is coming from we have to climb up the rocky mountain of our heart, and go beyond.”
---------
Lets move on now. Look, do you see that smooth, shining square of green? It glistens like a brilliant gem. This is where that call was coming from.
Listen! The voice is calling once more.
"O men,"
It says,
"Creations of God! According to your destiny, the food and water that was kept on earth for you has
now come to an end. Come!"
Look down again at the city. Although only one call went out from here, forty thousand people are racing frantically up the mountain in answer to it.
Once again, relatives and friends are running to the foot of the mountain, clutching at those who were called, trying in vain to hold them back.
Listen to them weeping and crying out.
"Come back, my son! Oh, my father, don't go. Mother! Don't leave us! Oh, wait my brother! My sister!
Stay!"
In so many ways they are trying to hold back those who were called. But nothing can stop them.
Look how they push the others away and come running, with their hair disheveled. As soon as the call is sounded, all of them dash up the mountainside and rush wildly toward this green square.
It is only twelve feet by twelve feet, but it swallows up all forty thousand of them. The moment they step onto it, they disappear. They came to this world, and now they must leave it. All who are born will one day die.
My children, we must learn how to cut our connection to death.
Two things exist in this body. They are light and earth. The light belongs to the soul. It is God's treasure. The earth belongs to the body; that is karma.
What is known as the world was made out of one fistful of earth. All creations belong to the earth and will one day be called back and returned to the earth.
This call will not come for us if we return what we owe during our lifetime. But if we keep within us the things of the world, then we will be called to return them.
Look how the people come running when they are called. Only those who die before death will not hear the call.
If you do not have a connection to the earth, you will not be pulled by death.
But if you have desire, then desire will pull you. If you have attachments, attachments will pull you. If you have blood ties, blood ties will pull you. If you have illusion, illusion will pull you. If you have treachery, treachery will pull you. If you have fire, fire will pull you.
Whatever you have a connection to, that same thing will pull you. One magnet pulls another. This is death.
But if you have no connection to worldly things, you will not be pulled. Your connection to this world is the thing that must die. Do you understand this?
Now, my children, you wait here and I will go closer to that square of green. See how it shines like an emerald? Its surface is very smooth, without a ditch or a furrow.
Look, I am walking on it, and it did not swallow me. I can walk around the whole square, but it does not pull me into it. Only those whose names have been called will disappear into this square. That is destiny.
