Go To: Expanded Overview - of Chapter 114
Overview of Chapter 114My dearest loving brothers and sisters, Suratal "Nas" or "Mankind" is the last Chapter in the Holy Qur'an, but it is also the first Chapter that we must read and understand to again become "One with" God within us, for it beautifully describes our current state, it beautifully describes the main thing that now supports our current state of "separation from" God within us, which are our very own thoughts, which are also the last thing to occur within us, that is, to manifest within us in order to produce our current state of "separation from" God within us.

In this way, with our very own thoughts becoming the "outside" of us, becoming everything that is currently above us, everything that we now see in our ignorance as existing above us, but which in truth are not above us at all, but in truth are the 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual energies within us, that have grown within us in our ignorance, and must now in the awakening of our wisdom, and in the liberation of our soul, must become the first thing to leave us, to again become like the earth under our feet, which will naturally occur within us when we join as "One with" our wisdom, and with the truth of God within our wisodm, to re-establishing our direct connection to God within us.  Amen.

As the "Gift of God" for our age, as the life and teaching of God for our age, now teach us, now teach the Children of God for our age, as the "Gift of God" for our age, which is the life and teaching of our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, now teach us in our age, and now on the "outside" of us, as the Children of God for our age, as the life and teaching of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us) now also teach us on the "outside" of us for our age.  Amen.

In this way, as They now teach us, the very first thing that must now leave us is our
very own thoughts
, if we are to become truly successful in our own life time, and all of these thoughts of our mind and desire must leaving us before we die to the flesh, before we physically die to the "outside" of us, or they become the "suffering of our grave, and they will only leave us when we truly come to understand them, when we realize, understand, accept, and join as "One with" our wisdom and with the truth of God within our wisdom, allowing our wisdom to stand up witin us, and causing our mind and desire to sit down witin us, and in this way, bring them again under our foot, like the earth.

And we can only do this in our age by "us" again becoming "One with" God within us, by "us" becoming "One with" with the "Gift of God" for our age, with the life and teaching of God for our age, in order to bring these 400 trllion, 10 thousand spiritual energies back under our foot, like the earth, which we must do, or at least start in partnership with God within us, before we die to the flesh, if we are to truly start to learn again, if we are to truly begin to be cured again of our illness, cured of our current state of "separation from" God within us, if we are to truly begin to move forward again on the "Path of God" within us, on the "Path of Faith or Iman" within us that leads us back into the "Truth of God" within us, and in this way, using God within us to remove the main thing that now supports our "separation from" God within us, which are our very own thoughts.

The state of "separation from" God within us, the state that we have in our ignorance grown in our hearts, in ignorance of "who we truly are", of "where we truly are", and of "what is truly happening" in our life, resulting in the state of our current life, of "us" living a life of "separation and differences", a life of sin, a life of "selfishness", on the "outside" of us, a life that we are now experiencing with our dearest loving brothers and sisters in the world that we now see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us.

A life being ruled by our very own thoughs, with the "Mischief of the Whisperer (of evil)" being our very own thoughts, being the 400 trillion, 10 thousand spiritual energies that now rule over us, being what is now "above us", like the ether or sky, as what is "beyond the control of the mind", being what our dear Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and God within Him, teach us, in our age, "that we must first control and bring again beneath our feet, like the earth that we now tread upon, if we are ever to truly learn and move forward in our lifetime".

For example, They teach us on page 3 in the "Introduction" to the beautiful book of wisdom, "Shaikh and Disciple", that, "First I had to learn about the ether, the sky, the section above the head. Ether can conceal the (true) self. There are many clouds, many colors, many hues, many suns, moons, stars, thunder and lightening, rain, gales, and storms overhead. All that is above the mind is like ether. So much exists beyond the mind; there are four hundred trillion, ten thousand different sections. Energies, cells, viruses, spirits, saktis, illusion, darkness, torpor - whatever is beyond the control of the mind is like the ether or sky. But once you control these energies with wisdom, they become like the earth. Once you can control the thoughts of the mind, you are treading on earth. If we can control what is above us and bring it under our feet, then we can learn".

          the Shepherd and the Tree, is Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may

          Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the "Triple Flame" of Muhammad (blessing and
          peace be upon Him), which in maturity become the 99 potentialities of man,
          become the Asma'ul Husna or 99 beautiful names of Allah within us, become

          element of earth, fire, water, and air, that have fallen out of the state of the
          Kalimah, out of the remembrance of God with each breath, established within
          us by God within us, becoming now the 36 potentialities of man within us, which
          is the drama of "separation and differences", of "mine and yours" within us
