a. "You have made two mistakes in your life. First, you have learned to feed yourself, and second, you have learned to take care of yourself, and as a result, you have learned to live here. And because of these two mistakes, you can no longer leave here."
"You must realize, without the slightest doubt, that if these two mistakes are not corrected, you will never leave here, and if you don't leave here before you die, you will never reach your Father, you will never become again "one with" God, never again become "one with" each other, and never again become "one with" the Creation of God, that God has personally placed within each of you, and as a result, you will never learn what you have come here to learn, which is learning about who you already are, but don't understand.""So, before you die you must learn how to leave here, you must learn how to again rely on God completely to take care of you and feed you, as you originally did, and you must learn how to again awaken your determination to die, to die if you cannot see your Father, the type of determination you had when you first came here.""Only then will you be successful in your life, only then will your wisdom be able to reason over your fate."b. We cannot properly do our duty in the world as long as we are trying to do our duty "here" from "here". We can only properly do our duty "here" from "There", from within the clarified and purified heart.
And before we can do duty "here" from "There", we must learn the difference between "here" and "There", which is "separation from" God, "separation from" each other, and "separation from" the Creation of God within us, and while "here" learn to join with God within us, by joining with wisdom within us, by joining with each other within us, by joining with the Creation of God within usc. Before the pond of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) comes to a spiritual end, we must dig the well of God's grace within our hearts, or find and join with the ones who have dug such a well, or our progress on the path will cease.
d. "It is only when you hold onto a Guru, and rest on the Guru, that you can develop your own wisdom and grace."
"You must take your heart and merge that heart with the heart of the Guru, and you must take all of your responsibilities and hand it over to the Guru as His responsibilities."
"And then you must hand over your soul, your body, and everything that you have to the Guru, and you must take on (the form of the Guru), your body must become the form of the Guru, the body of the Guru, and your soul must be the Guru Himself.""The End"
