His Holiness Teaches His Children:
Accept the guru as the Father of Light, as the one who removes your idiosyncrasies, as the lamp that dispels darkness, and as the substance that fills your heart.
Accept him as the one who teaches that birth is suffering, unclean and destructive. He is the mythical essence of the scriptures. He is the seed of wisdom and will lead men to the good path.
Say:
“I trust you always, O Gurunathar ( guru who guides ).
Make my soul pure in this impure birth and make it shine.
Grant me the Grace of the Holy One.”
Ya Quddus, Ya Quddus, Ya Quddus,
Al-hamdu lillah, Al-hamdu lillah, Al-hamdu lillah.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
Amen.
(say 3 X 3 = 9

First Story:
Once there was a restaurant where many people would go to eat. They relished the tasty food served there and paid money for it. A stray dog would go there to eat the remnants of the food thrown out along with the banana leaves.
This was an usual occurrence in the self-destructive country. The dog would wait outside the entrance of the restaurant waiting for someone to feed it. The customers who go to this restaurant would call out to the waiters with arrogance,
“Hey, give me the curry soon !”
The waiter would reply,
”Sir, be a little patient. I shall bring it right now.”
Before the cook could take out the curry from the oven, the customer would cry out,
“Hey, is it not hard-earned money we pay?
How long is a man to wait for his rice !”
and throw out the rice with the leaves on which it was served.
The stray dog outside would eat the rice. Another customer would remark,
“Hey man, the food is tasteless. It is no good.
Is it not hard-earned money we pay?”
All this was said with arrogance. They would further say,
“Look at your shop. Look at yourself. Look at your food.”
In this manner all the customers would throw away their food. The stray dog outside would eat it. Yet another customer would throw out his food. The dog would eat that too.
One of the customers would look at the dog and say,
“There is a dog outside. Poor dog!”
He would keep one fistful of rice and call out to the dog lovingly. He would keep the food on the ground bending himself. The dog without shyness or fear would eat the food on the leaf.
These four customers gave food to the dog. To whom does this dog belong? To whose call would the dog respond?
However much the four customers would quarrel, argue and assault one another, to whom does the dog belong?
Even if they fight, break their heads, they cannot resolve their disputes. The dog itself would understand reason and with patience and calmness go to the man who fed it.
One person threw the rice with anger. Another threw the remnants because the food lacked perfection. Yet another left a morsel of food with love and care to the dog, calling it with kindness after he had consumed his portion. The dog without any hesitation went close to him and thereby it belonged to him.

His Holiness Teaches His Children:
Likewise, O my disciples, gems of my eyes, the guru (shaikh) with the fullness of God’s Grace will grant you charity, words of wisdom and grace, depending on your own thoughts and ideas, conduct and state of mind. This is the secret of the heart of the Incomparable Gracious God. It is not easy to discover this.
O child, follow the guru and continue to do so, without looking back. Follow the path he travels which is the best way.
O disciples, gems of my eyes, do not test your guru by deviating from his path and allowing yourself to be directed by your own mind and your own wisdom. Do not conduct yourself thinking what you do is correct and what the guru does is wrong.
11. “The Second Story” of “Who Owns” The “White Ant Hill” - For In Truth “Only God Owns” Your Life, As “One With” You, Not You Now Living As If Somehow You Now Exist As “Separate From” God, Within You, All of Which of Course Is “Just Not True”, and that is for sure.

Second Story:
His Holiness Teaches His Children:
It is only the white ant that originally built the ant- hill, that knows its secret. An ant or the one who cuts open the ant-hill will not be aware of its subtlety. The white ant will not cut open the ant-hill or break it.
In the same ant-hill there are rooms for the snake, the white ants, the rat and also other appropriate accommodation for the occupation of crawling creatures like the mongoose, the iguana and the ants.
But it is only the white ant that knows the intricacies of the nature of the accommodation for these creatures, the secret of the construction of their rooms and the method of stimulating the growth of the ant-hill.
By the secretion from its mouth, the white ant dexterously takes the earth and builds the house, the rooms and the openings without letting the water to seep in. The snake, white ant, rat, iguana, mongoose, and other crawling creatures occupy the ant-hill.
The ants mature, develop wings and fly away from the room occupied by them. The iguana, the rat and the ant go into the room to eat the white ants. The snake goes in to catch the rat. The mongoose goes in to catch the snake. The dog goes in to catch the mongoose. All these creatures and many more claim the ant-hill as “my house” and “your house” in various ways.
Nevertheless, whatever occupies the ant-hill, it belongs to the white ant. It is the white ant that knows it. The others cannot build the house.

Bawa. And In This Way, And Only In This Way, With God Becoming Again “The Understanding” of God, Within You, and that is for sure. Amen.
Bawa. And 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, You Will Be “That”, And We Will Be Within “That”, As One, and that is for sure.
Bawa. That Is, As One, One Within The Other As One, One Revealing The Other Within It, One Disappearing Within The One Being Revealed, Only To Be Revealed Again By The Other, As It Returns “The Favor”, Disappearing Into The One Within It, But This Time A 1000 Fold, As “The 1000 Generosities of God”, For The Benefit of All of The Creations of God, Within The 18,000 Universes, Within Man and Within God, And Within God And Within Man, So In The End, “There Is No Child Left Behind”, So In The End, “There Is Nothing Still Separating You From You”. Amen.
