Bawa. We have given this Discourse by His Holiness the following "Expanded Title", to better reflect the multiple focus of this "Original Discourse", by His Holiness, as well of its "Expanded Version" and its "Outline & Summary Version" by one of His Children, for example, by Our dearest loving Son, and your dearest loving brother Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler).

Bawa.  With all of this love and compassion of God within you Now coming to you at the feet of God for your age, which in truth is the feet of your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within you, and of God within Him, and is Now on the "outside" of you, at the feet of His Children (may God be pleased with each of You), which in truth is each of you living in this age, if you like, which in trurth is Now your dearest loving Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), both within you for the benefit of all of the Creation of God, within God within you, and for a little while on the "outside" of you, for the benefit of your brothers and sisters. Amen. Ok?

Bawa.  That is, if the true intention for your life within you, for your soul life, is to again become "One with" God within you, before you die to the flesh in your current state within you, that is, in our current state of living a life of "separation and differences" on the "outside" of us, as if you are "separate from" God within you, as if you are "separate from" each other within you, and as if you are "separate from' the Creation of God within you, all of which is "Just Not True".

Expanded Title of Spiritual Discourse 07

"Join As "One With" Us On The "Outside" of You,
To Become "One With" Us Within You,
In Order To Become "One With" God Within "Us",
To Realize, Understand, Accept, and Join With
The "Extraordinary Process"
Of Understanding "Who You Are"
And "Where You Are", 
And "What Is Happening" In Your Life,
For In Truth
Your Current Answers Are All Wrong,
And Are Only Leading You To Hell,
To An Eternal Life Within You
As "Separate From" God Withiin You,
For In Truth 
"Who You Are" Is The Guru of God,
And "Where You Are" Is Within God Within You,
And "What Is Happening" In Your Life
Is "God Is Happening" Within The Creation of God,
Within God Within You,
And Within That,
"True Man Is Happening" Within "God Happening" 
Within The Creation of God
Within God Withiin You,
And Within That,
The Children of God Are Happening Again,
But This Within True Man Withiin God Within You,
As The Third And Last Telling of the "Story of God",
The Story of the "Oneness of God and True Man",
So In the End,
"No Child Is Left Behind",
So In the End,
There is Nothing Still "Separating God" From God,
If You Like,
For The Choice Is Yours, Not God's,
The Choice To Let God Finish Telling His Story,
But Time Within You,
For The Benefit 
Of All of The Creation of God
Within God Within You,
And For A Little While 
On The "Outside" of You
For The Benefit
Of Your Brothers and Sisters. 
Amen. Ok?"

"If you wish to reach God you need a teacher, a true Gnana Guru, a Qutb with the qualities of God; you will find all the attributes of God in this teacher.  When you take refuge in such a Guru you will see God.  You become the Guru, disappearing in Him while the Guru disappears in God. Three flames become One God.  God is a flame, the Guru is a flame, the Disciple is a flame.  As the two disappear in One, this is the Triple Flame.  Children, please understand this Extraordinary Process".
