Hello, peace and blessings be with all viewers of all backgrounds, religions, and nationalities. This enlightening video features an ambient recital of profound verses from the "Golden Verses of a Sufi Sheikh" by the revered spiritual Sheikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen. A guide who touched the hearts of many, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (circa 1900s-1986) was an esteemed Sufi mystic from Sri Lanka whose teachings transcended borders and religious distinctions, emphasizing the unity of all faiths under one God. His arrival in the United States in 1971 marked the beginning of a new chapter of spiritual awakening, leading to the establishment of the Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship in Philladelphia - I have been to this establishment myself, and can attest to the love and compassion of the members of the fellowship, and their care for transmitting the teachings of their beloved Sheikh.

In this video, discover the essence of Bawa's teachings: the submission to a singular divine force, a path to peace—shanti—found through the acknowledgment that there is none but God, and that all of existence is but a shadow of the singular, integral One. "You are the book, you are the story," Bawa's voice echoes through the narrative, inviting you to delve into the vast book of creation, where each being speaks a unique language designed by the Divine.

As you listen to the stirring words, "If you open your self, you will see Allah's mystery," allow yourself to be enveloped in the wisdom that proclaims the interconnection of the Creator with His creation. The video captures the essence of Sufi spirituality, where each creation—oceans, lands, the animate and the inanimate—is perceived as a narrative woven by God, the most exceptional storyteller.

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen's golden verses illuminate the path to understanding the intricate dance of creation, where surrender leads to the discovery of infinite worlds within and the omnipresent power of God. "All the created things you see...has been created by Him to enable you to understand Him," reminds us that the outer world reflects the vast universe within us. Through the lens of Sufi wisdom, every honeybee and every flower becomes a testament to the divine, revealing the secret of Allah in the simplicity of existence.

This video is not just a lesson; it is an invitation to embark on the ultimate quest for divine wisdom, where the viewer is urged to "search for wisdom, and look into your own story." It's a call to unravel the storybook of creation and find within its pages the history of the Almighty. With Bawa Muhaiyaddeen's guidance, unravel the threads of the divine narrative and realize that "the created will be the Creator, and the Creator will be the created."

In the tranquility of your contemplation, this video will guide you through the landscapes of spiritual understanding, as taught by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, who enlightened souls with the profound simplicity of his message: In the grand expanse of the universe and the quiet depths of the soul, there is only God, the integral one from whom all creation springs. Join us in this meditation, and let the wisdom of a Sufi Sheikh illuminate your path.
