Review of Chapter 16: Outline of Review: A. Jesus Explains The True Nature of The World of Sin - of the world that is "outside" of His disciples, He explains about how this world of sin on the "outside" of them will treat them once He has left the world on the "outside" of them, He explains that it will drive them away, and hate them, putting them out of the synagogues, and even killing them, thinking that by doing so they are doing the service of God B. Jesus Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" - that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him), and reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where people accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within themselves, and will "See Him no more", and finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us C. Jesus Continues To Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" - or the Holy Spirit, the "Spirit of Truth", who will come into the world "outside" of us, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of us, who will then guide us into all truth, telling us the things that the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), "could not bear" to hear, and showing us things to come, things that will glorify Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Father, and who will receive of the things of Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth are the things of the Father, which includes each of us now living in the world "outside" of us, if that be our true intention, to again be "One with" God within us for eternity. Amen D. Jesus Explains The Meaning of "A Little While" - Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains the meaning of "A Little While", when He tells His disciples that, "A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father". Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, joined with God within Him, to do this miraculous thing within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. And that this is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world in their age, to join with God within Him to give birth to Himself within His disciples, within those disciples given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him, before they die to the world on the "outside" of them. Amen. E. Jesus Explains What It Means, "I Speak To You In Proverbs" - that Jesus (peace be upon Him) spoke to His disciples in "proverbs" to veil the truth from them until such time as they were able to bear it, for as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells us in verse 12 & 13 of Chapter 16, the "Comforter" who will come into the world "outside" of us, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world "outside" of us, will "guide you into all truth", including those that they could not "bear to hear" at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), when Jesus (peace be upon Him) was with them in the world "outside" of them Text of Review: Summary of Chapter 16: Outer Story: Jesus explains to His disciples the true nature of the world that they all currently see on the "outside" of us, that it is really the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment that must be reproved or judged by the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit of God, who comes into the world "outside" of them after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of them, has been pulled out of their "outside" by God within them. That in truth this world "outside" of them is really hell, is really everything that God discarded to become God within us, and now Jesus (peace be upon Him) must leave the "outside" of them so the Comforter can come into the world on the "outside" of them, and reprove it, pass judgment upon it, that is, reprove the world of sin on the "outside" of them, which is a world that does not believe in Jesus (peace be upon Him), or the Word of God for their age that came through the life and teaching of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them. And reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where people accept Jesus and His Word and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within themselves, and will "See Him no more". And finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us. The Inner Meaning: We have a choice of an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or of an eternal life of "separation from" God, a choice we must each make before we die, and "no choice" is a choice, a choice to continue to live as "separate from" God until we die, and to experience what that really means within us, for eternity, after we die. A. Jesus Explains The True Nature of The World of Sin Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples the true nature of the world of sin, of the world that is "outside" of His disciples, He explains about how this world of sin on the "outside" of them will treat them once He has left the world on the "outside" of them, He explains that it will drive them away, and hate them, putting them out of the synagogues, and even killing them, thinking that by doing so they are doing the service of God. And Jesus (peace be upon Him) also explains that the world "outside" of them will do this to them because they have not known either the Father or Jesus (peace be upon Him), and Jesus (peace be upon Him) is telling them this now, when He is leaving them on the "outside" of them, so when this happens to them, when the world "outside" of them drives them away, and even kills them, they will find comfort in remembering that Jesus (peace be upon Him) told them that this is how the world "outside" of them would now treat them. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 1-6 1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me 4. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5. But now I go My way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, Whither goest thou? 6. But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Inner Meaning: We have been tricked and fooled by the lives of darkness within us, and by all of the people living in the world on the "outside" of us, starting with our parents, then gradually by our teachers, and then our friends and family, and co-workers, and finally by our priests, rabbis, imams, and other religions leaders, that the world "outside" of us is what defines us, and is what is good in our life, and is the path to reaching God, and His many heavens after we die to the world "outside" of us. They tricked and fooled us into believing that we are "separate from" God, and "separate from" all of the Prophets of God, like the eight main Prophets of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, David, Jesus (may God be pleased with They, and with all of His Prophets), and the first and last Prophet of God, Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as well as "separate from" all of the other Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God, that God sent periodically into the world, to teach us the truth of God, the truth about "where we are", and "who we are", and "what is truly happening" in our lives, like the Qutbs of God (may God be pleased with Them), for example, like Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), who came into the world over 1000 years ago, and finally, now in our age, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is everyone living in our age, if that be our true intention. While in truth the world on the "outside" of us, is hell, is everything that God discarded in order to become God within us, and has always hated God and the Children of God in each age, for the last 200 million years, since the coming of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) into this earth world, and has always tried to drive away, and even kill, all of the 124,000 Prophets of God, Heavenly Beings and Lights of God, including Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him). And now in our age they are doing it again, they are rejecting the Gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), who now speak the truth of God for our age, as it came finally into the world on the "outside" of us, in 1886 until 1986, as the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), with God repeating again, telling us again, everything that had come from God into the world before, but this time with no veils, and as Bawa teaches us, "And everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is do they want it, do they want an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God." "That is the choice that each of us must make, before we die to the world on the "outside" of us, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our dear brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us." And now the truth of God for our age, like the disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, has taken root and has grown, and continues to grow, within the hearts of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), since Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), like Jesus (peace be upon Him) before Him, was pulled out of the world by God within us, on December 8th, 1986. B. Jesus Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus explains the significance of the Comforter, that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him), and reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where we accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and will "See Him no more". And finally the Comforter will reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, in this way, the world of darkness that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 7-11 7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. 8. And when He come, He will reprove the world of sin, and (the world) of righteousness, and (the world) of judgment: 9. (The world) of sin, because they believe not on Me; 10. (The world) of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; 11. (And the world) of judgment, because the prince of this world (of darkness) is judged. The Inner Meaning: Jesus explains the significance of the Comforter, that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him). And reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where we accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and will "See Him no more", that is, they say they love Jesus but have not become "One with" Jesus, either within themselves or on the "outside" of themselves, by finding and becoming "One with" the gift of God for their age. And as a result they, the so called "righteousness" on the "outside" of us, are really living a life of hypocrisy within themselves, where they say one thing but do another, say they love Jesus and His Commandments, but are living a lie, a life of sin, that is, they are living a life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, on the "outside" of themselves. And finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us, by the light of the purified soul within at least one of us, that is also currently growing within each of us, and comes out of at least one of us, before the "Beast" comes out of at least one of us, and destroys the world of "separation and differences" that currently exists on the outside of all of us. Amen. C. Jesus Continues To Explain The Significance of the "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) continues to explain the significance of the coming of the "Comforter", into the world "outside" of His disciples, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world "outside" of them. Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that the "Comforter", or Holy Spirit, or "Spirit of Truth", will come into the world "outside" of them, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of them, that the "Comforter" will then guide them into all truth, telling them the things that the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), "could not bear" to hear, and showing them things to come, things that will glorify Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Father, that the "Comforter" will receive of the things of Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth are the things of the Father, which now includes each of us living in the world "outside" of us, if that be our true intention, to again be "One with" God within us for eternity. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 12-15 12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. The Inner Meaning: In truth, within each of us, God within us is telling a story, and True Man within God within us is also telling a story, the story of God within the story of True Man, and the story of True Man within the story of God, and as such they are One, and Their story is One, as the story of the apple tree within the apple seed, is the story of the apple within the apple tree, they are one, simply two reflections of the one thing, the one story that we see on the "outside" of us as an apple tree. And this One story of God and True Man within us, is told from different perspectives, like the story of the apple tree is told from the perspective of the apple seed buried within the earth, having fallen from the apple tree, and the story of the apple is told from the perspective of the apple tree, having emerged from the apple seed that germinates. Like this the story of God told in the Jewish tradition, which took 2000 years to tell, as reflected in the "Old Testament", is the story of God and True Man from the perspective of the seed of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him), a story that issues from the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him) and the ovum of His wife Sarah (peace be upon Him, with the story of God within the story of True Man coming to completion with the coming into the world "outside" of us of the Prophet Moses, some 600 years after the coming of Abraham (peace be upon Him) into the world "outside" of us, and the story of True Man within the story of God coming to completion with the appearance in the world "outside" of us of Prophet David, the King of the Jews in Jerusalem, 1000 years after the coming of Abraham (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us, and 1000 years before the coming of Jesus (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us. And the story of God told in the Christian and Islamic tradition, which also took 2000 years to tell, as reflected in the "New Testament" and the "Holy Qur'an", is the story of God and True Man from the perspective of the seed of Jesus (peace be upon Him), a story that does not issue from the sperm of Jesus (peace be upon Him), as Jesus (peace be upon Him) was created without the sperm of man, but from the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Him), from a virgin birth, from an immaculate conception, and from the direct intervention of God, as the Holy Trinity of God, with the story of God within the story of True Man coming to completion with the coming into the world "outside" of us of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), some 600 years after the coming of Jesus (peace be upon Him) into the world "outside" of us. And the story of True Man within the story of God coming to completion with the appearance in the world "outside" of us of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), 1000 years after the coming of Jesus (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us, and a little less then 1000 years before the coming of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us for 100 years, with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) coming into the world "outside" of us in 1886, and with His being pulled out of the world on the "outside" of us by God, on December 8th, 1986, having completed His mission in that 100 years, which is to complete the story of God within the story of True Man, before the "outside" of us comes to an end. And to give birth to the Children of God for this age, to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), before His leaving the "outside" of us, but to do it this time, to give birth this time to the story of True Man within the story of God, without the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him) and without the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Him), to do it this time only through the direct intervention of God, in the same way that God originally gave birth to Adam (peace be upon Him), but this time with the "eye of wisdom", the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) permanently open, so Adam (peace be upon Him) does not fall from grace again, so the male-female relationship of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them), which becomes the sperm-ovum relationship in the world "outside" of us, does not happen again. So Adam (peace be upon Him) within us can finish what God created Him to do, which is to become the "Palace of the Soul", the "House of Wisdom", the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), the 6th life within us, which is the life of light within us, the life of Jesus (peace be upon Him within us, within the Children of God for our age, the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is all of us living in this age, if that be our true intention. Amen. D. Jesus Explains The Meaning of "A Little While" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains the meaning of "A Little While", when He tells His disciples that, "A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father". Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, joined with God within Him, to do this miraculous thing within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. And that this is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world in their age, to join with God within Him to give birth to Himself within His disciples, within those disciples given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him, before they die to the world on the "outside" of them. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 16-24 16. A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. 17. Then said some of His disciples among themselves, What is this that He saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, A little while, and ye shall see Me: and, Because I go to the Father? 18. They said therefore, What is this that He saith, A little while? We cannot tell what He saith. 19. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me? 20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23. And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Inner Meaning: Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them explains that "A Little While" refers to their time in labor, the time it will take for them to give birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him), to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God, within them. Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that on that day, when they have delivered their "true destiny", their "true heritage", the "true destiny of their soul", on that day, when a true "man is born into the world" within them, then their sorrow will end, then they will "remember no more the anguish", and their "sorrow will be turned into joy", then "Jesus will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you". And then on that day, "Ye shall ask Me nothing. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you", because now they have become "One with" Jesus, they have become "One with" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, and in this way, now God is within them, now they have become the Holy Trinity of God within them. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed God within them to do this within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. That their truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them has allow Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and God within them, to join together within them to give birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, as the "Oneness" of the Father, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit or wisdom of God within them. And in this way, allowing them to now become Jesus (peace be upon Him) to the world within them, to become Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of the world within them, repeating the same process that they just went through with Jesus (peace be upon Him) appearing on the "outside" of them, in this way, repeating the same process for those given to them within them by God within them, as they were given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him. Amen. E. Jesus Explains What It Means, "I Speak To You In Proverbs" Outer Story: Jesus explains that He spoke to His disciples in "proverbs" to veil the truth from them until such time as they were able to bear it, for as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells us in verse 12 & 13 of Chapter 16, the "Comforter" who will come after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world, will "guide you into all truth". "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come." From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 25-33 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26. At that day ye shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27. For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I come out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29. His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31. Jesus answered, Do ye now believe? 32. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33. These things have I spoken unto your, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Review of Chapter 16: Outline of Review: A. Jesus Explains The True Nature of The World of Sin - of the world that is "outside" of His disciples, He explains about how this world of sin on the "outside" of them will treat them once He has left the world on the "outside" of them, He explains that it will drive them away, and hate them, putting them out of the synagogues, and even killing them, thinking that by doing so they are doing the service of God B. Jesus Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" - that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him), and reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where people accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within themselves, and will "See Him no more", and finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us C. Jesus Continues To Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" - or the Holy Spirit, the "Spirit of Truth", who will come into the world "outside" of us, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of us, who will then guide us into all truth, telling us the things that the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), "could not bear" to hear, and showing us things to come, things that will glorify Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Father, and who will receive of the things of Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth are the things of the Father, which includes each of us now living in the world "outside" of us, if that be our true intention, to again be "One with" God within us for eternity. Amen D. Jesus Explains The Meaning of "A Little While" - Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains the meaning of "A Little While", when He tells His disciples that, "A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father". Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, joined with God within Him, to do this miraculous thing within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. And that this is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world in their age, to join with God within Him to give birth to Himself within His disciples, within those disciples given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him, before they die to the world on the "outside" of them. Amen. E. Jesus Explains What It Means, "I Speak To You In Proverbs" - that Jesus (peace be upon Him) spoke to His disciples in "proverbs" to veil the truth from them until such time as they were able to bear it, for as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells us in verse 12 & 13 of Chapter 16, the "Comforter" who will come into the world "outside" of us, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world "outside" of us, will "guide you into all truth", including those that they could not "bear to hear" at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), when Jesus (peace be upon Him) was with them in the world "outside" of them Text of Review: Summary of Chapter 16: Outer Story: Jesus explains to His disciples the true nature of the world that they all currently see on the "outside" of us, that it is really the world of sin, of righteousness, and judgment that must be reproved or judged by the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit of God, who comes into the world "outside" of them after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of them, has been pulled out of their "outside" by God within them. That in truth this world "outside" of them is really hell, is really everything that God discarded to become God within us, and now Jesus (peace be upon Him) must leave the "outside" of them so the Comforter can come into the world on the "outside" of them, and reprove it, pass judgment upon it, that is, reprove the world of sin on the "outside" of them, which is a world that does not believe in Jesus (peace be upon Him), or the Word of God for their age that came through the life and teaching of Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them. And reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where people accept Jesus and His Word and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him) within themselves, and will "See Him no more". And finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us. The Inner Meaning: We have a choice of an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or of an eternal life of "separation from" God, a choice we must each make before we die, and "no choice" is a choice, a choice to continue to live as "separate from" God until we die, and to experience what that really means within us, for eternity, after we die. A. Jesus Explains The True Nature of The World of Sin Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples the true nature of the world of sin, of the world that is "outside" of His disciples, He explains about how this world of sin on the "outside" of them will treat them once He has left the world on the "outside" of them, He explains that it will drive them away, and hate them, putting them out of the synagogues, and even killing them, thinking that by doing so they are doing the service of God. And Jesus (peace be upon Him) also explains that the world "outside" of them will do this to them because they have not known either the Father or Jesus (peace be upon Him), and Jesus (peace be upon Him) is telling them this now, when He is leaving them on the "outside" of them, so when this happens to them, when the world "outside" of them drives them away, and even kills them, they will find comfort in remembering that Jesus (peace be upon Him) told them that this is how the world "outside" of them would now treat them. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 1-6 1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me 4. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5. But now I go My way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, Whither goest thou? 6. But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Inner Meaning: We have been tricked and fooled by the lives of darkness within us, and by all of the people living in the world on the "outside" of us, starting with our parents, then gradually by our teachers, and then our friends and family, and co-workers, and finally by our priests, rabbis, imams, and other religions leaders, that the world "outside" of us is what defines us, and is what is good in our life, and is the path to reaching God, and His many heavens after we die to the world "outside" of us. They tricked and fooled us into believing that we are "separate from" God, and "separate from" all of the Prophets of God, like the eight main Prophets of God, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, David, Jesus (may God be pleased with They, and with all of His Prophets), and the first and last Prophet of God, Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), as well as "separate from" all of the other Heavenly Beings, and Lights of God, that God sent periodically into the world, to teach us the truth of God, the truth about "where we are", and "who we are", and "what is truly happening" in our lives, like the Qutbs of God (may God be pleased with Them), for example, like Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), who came into the world over 1000 years ago, and finally, now in our age, our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is everyone living in our age, if that be our true intention. While in truth the world on the "outside" of us, is hell, is everything that God discarded in order to become God within us, and has always hated God and the Children of God in each age, for the last 200 million years, since the coming of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them) into this earth world, and has always tried to drive away, and even kill, all of the 124,000 Prophets of God, Heavenly Beings and Lights of God, including Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him). And now in our age they are doing it again, they are rejecting the Gift of God for our age, which is the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), who now speak the truth of God for our age, as it came finally into the world on the "outside" of us, in 1886 until 1986, as the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), with God repeating again, telling us again, everything that had come from God into the world before, but this time with no veils, and as Bawa teaches us, "And everyone will hear it, and everyone will understand it, and all that will be left is do they want it, do they want an eternal life of "Oneness with" God, or an eternal life of "separation from" God." "That is the choice that each of us must make, before we die to the world on the "outside" of us, and "no choice" is a choice, is a choice to continue to live a life of "separation and differences" with our dear brothers and sisters in the world that we see in our collective ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us." And now the truth of God for our age, like the disciple of Jesus (peace be upon Him) over 2000 years ago, has taken root and has grown, and continues to grow, within the hearts of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), since Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), like Jesus (peace be upon Him) before Him, was pulled out of the world by God within us, on December 8th, 1986. B. Jesus Explains The Significance of the "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus explains the significance of the Comforter, that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him), and reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where we accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and will "See Him no more". And finally the Comforter will reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, in this way, the world of darkness that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 7-11 7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. 8. And when He come, He will reprove the world of sin, and (the world) of righteousness, and (the world) of judgment: 9. (The world) of sin, because they believe not on Me; 10. (The world) of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more; 11. (And the world) of judgment, because the prince of this world (of darkness) is judged. The Inner Meaning: Jesus explains the significance of the Comforter, that when He comes, He will reprove the world of sin, that is, the world that we currently see in our ignorance as existing on the "outside" of us, where people believe not on Jesus (peace be upon Him). And reprove the world of righteousness, that is, the world "outside" of us where we accept Jesus and testify on Him, but are currently living a life of "separation from" Jesus (peace be upon Him), and will "See Him no more", that is, they say they love Jesus but have not become "One with" Jesus, either within themselves or on the "outside" of themselves, by finding and becoming "One with" the gift of God for their age. And as a result they, the so called "righteousness" on the "outside" of us, are really living a life of hypocrisy within themselves, where they say one thing but do another, say they love Jesus and His Commandments, but are living a lie, a life of sin, that is, they are living a life of "separation from" God, of "separation from" each other, and of "separation from" the Creation of God within us, on the "outside" of themselves. And finally reprove the world of judgment, where the "prince of the world", of the world of darkness within each of us, which is the "Beast" or the Anti-Christ for our age, that is currently growing within each of us, is judged by God within us, and is destroyed by the Light of Jesus within at least one of us, by the light of the purified soul within at least one of us, that is also currently growing within each of us, and comes out of at least one of us, before the "Beast" comes out of at least one of us, and destroys the world of "separation and differences" that currently exists on the outside of all of us. Amen. C. Jesus Continues To Explain The Significance of the "Comforter" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) continues to explain the significance of the coming of the "Comforter", into the world "outside" of His disciples, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world "outside" of them. Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that the "Comforter", or Holy Spirit, or "Spirit of Truth", will come into the world "outside" of them, after Jesus (peace be upon Him) has left the world "outside" of them, that the "Comforter" will then guide them into all truth, telling them the things that the disciples of Jesus (peace be upon Him), at the time of Jesus (peace be upon Him), "could not bear" to hear, and showing them things to come, things that will glorify Jesus (peace be upon Him) and the Father, that the "Comforter" will receive of the things of Jesus (peace be upon Him), which in truth are the things of the Father, which now includes each of us living in the world "outside" of us, if that be our true intention, to again be "One with" God within us for eternity. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 12-15 12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. The Inner Meaning: In truth, within each of us, God within us is telling a story, and True Man within God within us is also telling a story, the story of God within the story of True Man, and the story of True Man within the story of God, and as such they are One, and Their story is One, as the story of the apple tree within the apple seed, is the story of the apple within the apple tree, they are one, simply two reflections of the one thing, the one story that we see on the "outside" of us as an apple tree. And this One story of God and True Man within us, is told from different perspectives, like the story of the apple tree is told from the perspective of the apple seed buried within the earth, having fallen from the apple tree, and the story of the apple is told from the perspective of the apple tree, having emerged from the apple seed that germinates. Like this the story of God told in the Jewish tradition, which took 2000 years to tell, as reflected in the "Old Testament", is the story of God and True Man from the perspective of the seed of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon Him), a story that issues from the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him) and the ovum of His wife Sarah (peace be upon Him, with the story of God within the story of True Man coming to completion with the coming into the world "outside" of us of the Prophet Moses, some 600 years after the coming of Abraham (peace be upon Him) into the world "outside" of us, and the story of True Man within the story of God coming to completion with the appearance in the world "outside" of us of Prophet David, the King of the Jews in Jerusalem, 1000 years after the coming of Abraham (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us, and 1000 years before the coming of Jesus (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us. And the story of God told in the Christian and Islamic tradition, which also took 2000 years to tell, as reflected in the "New Testament" and the "Holy Qur'an", is the story of God and True Man from the perspective of the seed of Jesus (peace be upon Him), a story that does not issue from the sperm of Jesus (peace be upon Him), as Jesus (peace be upon Him) was created without the sperm of man, but from the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Him), from a virgin birth, from an immaculate conception, and from the direct intervention of God, as the Holy Trinity of God, with the story of God within the story of True Man coming to completion with the coming into the world "outside" of us of the Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him), some 600 years after the coming of Jesus (peace be upon Him) into the world "outside" of us. And the story of True Man within the story of God coming to completion with the appearance in the world "outside" of us of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), 1000 years after the coming of Jesus (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us, and a little less then 1000 years before the coming of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon) into the world "outside" of us for 100 years, with Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (peace be upon Him) coming into the world "outside" of us in 1886, and with His being pulled out of the world on the "outside" of us by God, on December 8th, 1986, having completed His mission in that 100 years, which is to complete the story of God within the story of True Man, before the "outside" of us comes to an end. And to give birth to the Children of God for this age, to the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), before His leaving the "outside" of us, but to do it this time, to give birth this time to the story of True Man within the story of God, without the sperm of Abraham (peace be upon Him) and without the ovum of Mary (peace be upon Him), to do it this time only through the direct intervention of God, in the same way that God originally gave birth to Adam (peace be upon Him), but this time with the "eye of wisdom", the Nur Muhammad on the forehead of Adam (peace be upon Him) permanently open, so Adam (peace be upon Him) does not fall from grace again, so the male-female relationship of Adam and Eve (peace be upon Them), which becomes the sperm-ovum relationship in the world "outside" of us, does not happen again. So Adam (peace be upon Him) within us can finish what God created Him to do, which is to become the "Palace of the Soul", the "House of Wisdom", the House of Qutb Muhaiyaddeen Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (may God be pleased with Him), the 6th life within us, which is the life of light within us, the life of Jesus (peace be upon Him within us, within the Children of God for our age, the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), which is all of us living in this age, if that be our true intention. Amen. D. Jesus Explains The Meaning of "A Little While" Outer Story: Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains the meaning of "A Little While", when He tells His disciples that, "A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father". Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, joined with God within Him, to do this miraculous thing within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. And that this is the true meaning of Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming into the world in their age, to join with God within Him to give birth to Himself within His disciples, within those disciples given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him, before they die to the world on the "outside" of them. Amen. From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 16-24 16. A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father. 17. Then said some of His disciples among themselves, What is this that He saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, A little while, and ye shall see Me: and, Because I go to the Father? 18. They said therefore, What is this that He saith, A little while? We cannot tell what He saith. 19. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me? 20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23. And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. Inner Meaning: Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them explains that "A Little While" refers to their time in labor, the time it will take for them to give birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him), to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God, within them. Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains that on that day, when they have delivered their "true destiny", their "true heritage", the "true destiny of their soul", on that day, when a true "man is born into the world" within them, then their sorrow will end, then they will "remember no more the anguish", and their "sorrow will be turned into joy", then "Jesus will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you". And then on that day, "Ye shall ask Me nothing. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you", because now they have become "One with" Jesus, they have become "One with" the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within them, and in this way, now God is within them, now they have become the Holy Trinity of God within them. Amen. In this way, Jesus (peace be upon Him) explains to His disciples that "A Little While" means that they are in the process of giving birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, and of God within Jesus within them, and as such, they are in the process of giving birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, and that Jesus (peace be upon Him) coming to them on the "outside" of them, with them truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them, has allowed God within them to do this within them, before they die to the "outside" of them. That their truly "hearing Him and accepting Him who sent Him" on the "outside" of them has allow Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of them, and God within them, to join together within them to give birth to Jesus (peace be upon Him) within them, to give birth to the Holy Trinity of God within them, as the "Oneness" of the Father, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit or wisdom of God within them. And in this way, allowing them to now become Jesus (peace be upon Him) to the world within them, to become Jesus (peace be upon Him) on the "outside" of the world within them, repeating the same process that they just went through with Jesus (peace be upon Him) appearing on the "outside" of them, in this way, repeating the same process for those given to them within them by God within them, as they were given to Jesus (peace be upon Him) by God within Him. Amen. E. Jesus Explains What It Means, "I Speak To You In Proverbs" Outer Story: Jesus explains that He spoke to His disciples in "proverbs" to veil the truth from them until such time as they were able to bear it, for as Jesus (peace be upon Him) tells us in verse 12 & 13 of Chapter 16, the "Comforter" who will come after Jesus (peace be upon Him) leaves the world, will "guide you into all truth". "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come." From: "Gospel of John" - Chapter 16, Verse 25-33 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26. At that day ye shall ask in My name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27. For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me, and have believed that I come out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29. His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask Thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31. Jesus answered, Do ye now believe? 32. Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33. These things have I spoken unto your, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
