Have that baby within your heart           and rock him." And the clarity that you shared about this quote, as follows:           "I never understood the second part of giving birth to the Father of wisdom           until today. By calling on Bawa, the wisdom within, we give birth to him in           our heart. Of course, it was so neat when that understanding came. What a           wonder." My love you, my dearest sister Rumi.  It is such a wonder to join with you within the heart of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), experiencing the emergence of the One Child of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within each of us, the Light of God to the world.  What a wonder.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. The following comments from this child are humbly shared about this wisdom point from our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. 2.  The Three Sons of Abraham (peace be upon Him) - are the 4th, 5th, and 6th           levels of wisdom within each of us, which we must give birth to within us, by           allowing our Shaikh to give birth to us within Him "The Father of Wisdom giving birth to you" is the birth of Iman within the wisdom within you, and it is also the birth of Qurban or "Self Sacrifice" within the Iman within the wisdom within you.  It is the birth of the 4th and 5th levels of wisdom within you, of Judgment and Subtle Wisdom within you.  These are the first two sons of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within the wisdom within you, within the Shaikh within you, that the Shaikh causes to be born within you, when you realize, understand, accept, and join with the life and teaching of the Shaikh within you, when you join with the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, which is the gift of God for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), which is now, the gift of God to all of the Children of God for this age, to all of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is all of us. 3. The True First Son of Abraham (peace by upon Him) - is Iman, or absolute,           complete, unshakable faith, certitude, and determination that God alone exists,           the complete acceptance of the heart that God is One In this way, the birth of Iman within the wisdom within you is the birth of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, of the Iman of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, which is Abraham (peace be upon Him) in the pit of fire within you, the pit of fire that is your stomach, and represents the first true birth within you, which is the true first son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, the birth of the 4th level of wisdom within you known as Judgment or Estimate, that allows you to transcend "desire for earth", to transcend the maya or illusion of the earth world, which has made you live for the sake of your "one-span stomach", and represents the first true birth within you, of Iman within you, of the wisdom that allows you to move from living in your stomach to living in your heart. 4.  The True Second Son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) - is Qurban or Self           Sacrifice, is the death of the false first son of Abraham (peace be upon Him)           within you, which is the death of the child of darkness and ignorance within you,           of the enemy of the soul within you, which was born through the spit of satan,           and through the dog of desire within you that was created from that spit, which           was born through the sperm of your father and the ovum of your mother And the birth of Qurban or "Self Sacrifice" within the Iman within the wisdom within you is the birth of Ishmael (peace be upon Him) within you, the second true birth within you, which is the true second son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, or Subtle Wisdom within you, which is born within you when God calls for and successfully receives from Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, from the life of Iman within you, the sacrifice of the false self within you, the sacrifice of your false birth within you, which is your false first son within you, which is the child of darkness and ignorance within you, the enemy of the soul within you, which was born through the spit of satan, and through the dog of desire within you that was created from that spit, which was born through the sperm of your father and the ovum of your mother. In this way, the sacrifice of Ishmael by Abraham (peace be upon Them) within you, the sacrifice of the false life of "separation and differences" within you, by the true life of Iman within you, destroys what was created within you through the mind and desire of your mother and father within you, and creates through the truth and light of God and your Shaikh within you the birth of the 5th level of wisdom within you known as Subtle Wisdom, which is the true second son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you. Through their love for you, God joined with your Shaikh create this Subtle Wisdom within you, that allows you to transcend "desire for woman", to transcend the 4 kinds of destructive women within you, to transcend the 4 religions within you, to transcend the 4 elements within you, to transcend the 4 separate parts of your body. Transforming the 4 of you back into the 1 of you, transforming the four destructive women of you back into the one good woman within you, transforming the temporary and impure lives of earth, fire, air, and water within you, back into the original purified earth life within you known as Manaiyal (the one who looks after the home), which then becomes the wife of the soul within you, allowing the soul to join again with the Nur, the light of God within you, the true body of the soul, making your life eternal. Allowing you to live in the heart now as the 1 true life within you, rather than as the 4 destructive women within you, as the 4 separate religions within you, which in maturity become the 6 separate kinds of consciousness within you, the six armies within you, living in the 6 corners of your heart, waging war 2 by 2, allowing you to transform the 6 separate faces within you into the six faces of clarity within you known as Muhammad (may the peace and blessing of God be upon Him), becoming the 1 true heart joined with the 1 true face, the aham and the muham, as the heart of God reflected in the face of God. With all of this getting you ready, gradually moving you forward in your spiritual life, in your quest to become again the Oneness of God and True Man within you, gradually moving you from living in the heart to living in the head, gradually moving you as the 9 ruled by the three, as the 9 openings of the body, of the 4 separate parts of the body, ruled by God, Muhammad, and the one created by Saturn, by the one that rules the opening of the umbilicus (or satan), to becoming the 7 ruled by the three, as the 7 openings of the head, of the body that is now living as 1, with the two openings below now also closed down, along with the 1 that was closed at birth, leaving the 7 openings above, in the head, now ruled by God, Muhammad, and Muhaiyaddeen, by the Triple Flame of God within you - Ya Allah, Ya Rasul, Ya Muhaiyaddeen. Allowing you, as the "handful of earth" created by God within you, through the divine movement within you created by the life and teaching of your Shaikh within you, by your wisdom within you, and orchestrated by God and True Man within you, allowing you to become first the 3 hidden within the 10 within you, becoming the 3 that rule the 7 within you, closing down in this way the 7 openings of the head, and opening the two hidden openings of the head, the kursi and the arsh within you, and the heart within your heart, revealing in this way the Triple Flame of God within you, as the 3 within the 3, as the Nur Muhammad within you revealed within the Nur Muhammad within you, as the Shaikh within the Shaikh, as the understanding of the Nur Muhammad within the Nur Muhammad within you, and within that as the seed of True Man, the seed of Iman within you, like the seed of the apple fruit that is hidden within the apple flower. And in maturity becoming the 1 within the 3 within you, the 1 of God within the 3 of God within you, within the Triple Flame of God within you, becoming in this way True Man within you, allowing the 1 within you to reveal the 1 within you, as the understanding of the 1 within you, allowing True Man to reveal God within the Creation of True Man within you, becoming in this way, again the Pearl of Wisdom or Allah Muhammad within you, which is the Oneness of God and True Man within you, the fruit of God's grace, and within it the seed of God, the seed of Islam within you, ready to be planted again within the earth of God within you, in order to tell again the story of God within the story of True Man within you, and the story of True Man within the story of God within you, for the benefit of all of the Creation of God within you, and of all of the Creation of True Man within you. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. See page 12, Chapter 1, "Signs of Spiritual Significance" for more on these four types of destructive women within you, and page 72, Chapter 21, "The Six Faces", for more on the six faces of separation within you, and page 83, Chapter 24, "The Fistful of Earth", for more on the 12 Rasis (signs of the Zodiac within you) within you. First showing you as the 12 Rasis within you, as the 9 opening within you ruled by the 3 within you, then revealing you as the 7 openings within you ruled by the 3 within you, then revealing you as the 3 that rule the 7 within you, then revealing you as the 1 within the 3 within you, and finally you and God as One, as the Oneness of God and True Man, as the 1 within the 1 within you, all of this beautifully revealed to us within the book, "The Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani", by our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him). 5.  The True Third Son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) - is the Qutb of God           within you, the grace of the Dhat, of the Essence of God, within you, as that           which appears between the appearance of Muhammad and the Nur Muhammad           within you, as the 6th level of wisdom within you, as that which appears between           the 5th and 7th levels of wisdom within you, as Divine Analytic Wisdom within           you, as that which awakens the hayah (life) of purity within you and transforms           it into the divine vibration (the Resonance of Allah) within you And then "Us giving birth to the Father of Wisdom within us", is the true third son of Abraham (peace be upon Him) within you, through the lineage of Isaac (peace be upon Him) and Moses (peace be upon Him) within you, is the birth of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him) within you, the Palace of the soul within you, the House of Wisdom within you, the life of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you having recovered from the fall of Adam (peace be upon Him) within you, that allows you to transcend the "desire for gold" within you, which is all of the wealth of the world of earth within you, and of the 4 destructive women within you, destroying all of this illusory wealth, by opening up within you the heart within the heart within you, the mubarakat of God within you, which is the blessing of God within you, the supreme, imperishable treasure of all three worlds within you, of al-awwal, of dunya, and of al-akhirah within you. Which allows your Shaikh within you to finish what He has started within you, revealing the Shaikh within the Shaikh within you, revealing the understanding of the Shaikh to the Shaikh within you, allowing the Shaikh to realize, understand, accept, and join with "who He is" within you, and "who He is" within you is "what is within Him" within you, and "what is within Him" within you is the Nur of God within you. Allowing the Nur of God within the Shaikh within you to finish what He has started within the Shaikh within you, revealing the Nur within the Nur, revealing the understanding of the Nur to the Nur, allowing the Nur to realize, understand, accept and join with "who He is" within the Shaikh, and "who He is" within the Shaikh is "what is within Him", and "what is within Him" within the Shaikh, is God. Allowing God to finish answering the question that God asked of God in anathi within you, in the time of darkness or lack of understanding within you, the question that God asked of God, which is "who am I?", allowing God within you to settle again into stillness, like the apple seed appearing within the apple fruit, waiting for itself to be buried again within the earth, waiting again for the "realization of the truth to emerge from within it", allowing it again to germinate, if that be its intention at that time, and again reveal the story of the apple tree within the story of the apple, and the story of the apple within the story of the apple tree. Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen.  Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen.  Al-hamdu lillah.  Allahu Akbar. Please give my love and salams to all of our brothers and sisters, and forgive your brother if any of what has been shared is in error.  For as Bawa teaches us on page 7, in the Forward to the book, The Pearl of Wisdom,           "Forgive me the wrong and accept the good.  So I request." May the peace, the beneficence, and the blessing of God be upon us all. My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler). End of Spiritual Letter 23 - original version - .....................
