About "Bawa Quotations - Summary 02"


The "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Quotations" are made up of several different lists of quotations from the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).

This list, "Bawa Quotations - Summary 02", represents a Summary of a set of Bawa quotations that were included in Spiritual Letter 50, "And The Truth Will Set You Free", which is a letter that was written by Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), to Thomas L. Friedman, in August 2003, who is a Columnist for the New York Times, introducing Mr. Friedman, and two brothers from Iraq about whom Mr. Friedman had written an editorial in the New York Times, to the life and teaching of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and of the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us).

In this way, this letter to Mr. Friedman, as well as this second Summary of Bawa quotations, and also a List of these same quotations, which we call Bawa Quotations - List 02, represent the life of this child, of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler), over the last four months in 2003, as he sat at the feet of His Holiness, as part of studying the life and teaching of His Holiness in partnership with His Holiness, as well as of sharing the fruits of this labor of love with his brothers and sisters.

In this way, these three on-line documents, the letter, the list, and the summary, represent one harvest of the crop known as the Shaikh-Disciple Relationship between His Holiness and this child, between our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), and the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with each of Us), for the benefit of all of the Creation of God in this world and the next.

Whenever possible we have provided a complete reference for each Bawa quotation, at the bottom of each quotation.  Also, in some cases, we have provided a pointer to the source document for the quotation (e.g., "Pearl of Wisdom or Guru Mani: Forward"), also at the bottom of the quotation.  Just click on the pointer to go directly to the source document, and use the "Back" button to return to the list of quotations.

We are able to do this when we have the source document for the quotation in the On-line Library.  As we get more source documents on-line we will add similar pointers to them from the quotations.  

However, in many cases the Bawa quotation comes from a personal experience with His Holiness, as part of the Shaikh-Disciple Relationship, and no reference is available except the life of the disciple.

My love you (anbu) - Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Louie Beutler)
