One

Year with the True Love

Mawlana Sheikh Bahauddin sohbat, April 26, 2015.

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah

Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah Allahu Allahu Allahu Allah
Allahumma salli wa salim 'ala Nabina Muhammad alaihi salam
Salatan tadumu wa tuhda ilaih mammara layali wa tula dawam
Allahumma salli wa salim 'ala Nabina Muhammad alaihi salam
Salatan tadumu wa tuhda ilaih mammara layali wa tula dawam
Allahumma salli wa salim 'ala Nabina Muhammad alaihi salam
Salatan tadumu wa tuhda ilaih mammara layali wa tula dawam
MashaAllah. Endless salatu salam to you, ya RasulAllah. Endless love for you, ya RasulAllah.
Endless respect for you, ya RasulAllah. This is coming from our tongue. We hope it's coming
from our heart also insha'Allah. We are praying that Allah Almighty make our tongue to return
to say from our heart insha'Allah. We are the weak servants. Maybe sometimes our tongue says
something and maybe our heart says something else. But Allah Almighty, He is so Generous,
never looking for your heart to say if you say bad things even, He look for your tongue, what
you say from your mouth.
It is more valuable because the heart, it's hidden. The heart is hidden and the heart is belonging
to Allah Almighty. That's why they say the love, it's coming from the heart. If you know the
true love, the true love coming from the hidden area, never come from the mouth. So many
people, they cannot put their love in front of anybody but they keep it in their heart. And this
love will be the most strong love ever. Even you don't see it but it makes you to feel it. It makes
the one that you love him that it's feeling that you are true beloved one, true loving one.
Alhamdulillah, today we reach the first year of Mawlana Sheikh, he's been joined his true love.
This is separation as physically from us, but he is joining the true love for him. This is
important moment for awliya because they say the awliya, they are suffering by being walking
on the earth. They have big suffering because they leave the true love and they continue their
life among the people to give the service. This is very important things. So many people think
that the awliya they are going around. No, they are not happy.

Imagine one young boy, he is in love. Do you think anything in this world can satisfy him
except his love? No. No way. No way. And this is like one drop of the love of Allah Almighty
that the awliya, they are carrying. It is fire. It is fire. Allah Almighty, that's why He put so many
nice examples in our life to understand the value of the love that Allah Almighty He give you
because He is the love. He is. To Allah Almighty this is something different. Cannot be as you
think. Cannot. It is everything.

Small boy in love or small girl in love. Doesn't matter, they don't see it. Everywhere, everything
is pink. They say there's happened some earthquake. "I don't care". They say the stock
exchange dropped, a lot of losses. "Who cares?" They say somebody make accident. "It doesn't
concern me". They say we have very nice food. "I don't have appetite". Ya hu, what happened?
Can you touch it? Can you see it? Can you smell it? No, it is love. And this is the true... This is
imitation love. It will be after a while finished, like this. And you come back for world.
The awliya, they have the true love that it is force them to be in the world, force them to be in
service, force them to be with people and in the same time to wait for their true love. And
Mawlana Sheikh, Alhamdulillah, he got his love. He got his love. And Mawlana Sheikh, he was
sacrificing. Sacrificing from his love for you. He was sacrificing for you. Don't forget what
Mawlana Sheikh was sacrificing for you. Mawlana Sheikh, it is not simple to understand, it is
not ordinary things to be in your life.
Today you ask any murid of Mawlana Sheikh, 90% of his talk, it will be Mawlana Sheikh.
Maybe 100%, but we say 90%. Because Mawlana Sheikh he pumped that love to the heart of
the murid. He pump it. And he wanted to be for the farthest and nearest murid, to have this love
in the hearts. Subhan-Allah we've been sad by Mawlana Sheikh joining his true love but after a
while we realised that he wanted to be reward. We don't know what kind of reward he have, but
as a human, when you do something, at the end of the day, either you wait for your wages or
you wait for somebody to thank you, or give you something - that you've been rewarded.
It is important to get the result. Why we are living? We are living for result. In our daily life,
everybody looking for some result. Some people establish something and they go and on and on,
and then say "Yes, Alhamdulillah we have the result". Either good or bad, doesn't matter, but
the result is important. So as human being created by Allah Almighty, as servant been created
by Allah Almighty, we are looking for result. And Mawlana Sheikh, he was sacrificing his life
until 92 years for his murid.
How Sheikh Efendi sacrificed? Ya hu, Sheikh Efendi he was not working for anybody. He was
working for his Lord, Allah Almighty. He was not having rest either daytime or nighttime.
Daytime he was with the murids, he was going one to one, like small child, feeding with his
hand. At night he was with Allah Almighty. Don't think Mawlana Sheikh was sleeping more
than 4 hours during 24 hours. The rest, it was in the service, it was really happening, it was
really going flaming, flaming, firing, firing.

That's why he was never believing in retirement. He said the retirement can only be in the
grave. Otherwise, there is no retirement. Not at all. When he was in the bed and he was really
not good, "Bring the camera, I want to give some nasiha, I want to give some advice". This is
important things. We have headache, "I don't want to see anybody". But for him, no. He said,
"still I have some breath so I can speak. I want to give something". And this is the generosity of
Allah Almighty - been given to him, and he was giving to His servants. This is Mawlana Sheikh.
It is simple things in our life. And he is not simple. He is not simple and he is the one that all
the time was giving. Alhamdulillah, we are happy to have some part of our life with him.
Because even to see him, it was big things. This is Mawlana Sheikh. Alhamdulillah, may Allah
make us with him, under his feet, to be loyal to him, to be loyal to his order, to be loyal to his
will and to be loyal to his wishes because now it is our test time.
What they say? When the teacher is around, you are not in test. When the teacher is not around
physically, you are in test. The exam will start because now you are alone with your paper.
Whatever you fill, that is the result. If the teacher around, he'll tell you "this is wrong, delete it
and make the right one." But now we are on our own. He left us. It's important things for
murid. The Sheikh claiming also. It's important. Because to claim also, it is not easy. When you
are claiming, you are with your paper. The murid now, he is with his paper because we have so
many sheikhs, Alhamdulillah.
So now it is the test time. If you are in the test time, no mercy. When you are in the test, there is
no mercy because the mercy will come from your master. When he look for your paper, say
"Change, change, change, it's wrong." But now you are with your paper. It is important to
understand one year passed now. One year we still going on. We don't know what the next year
will bring. We don't know what the next will take from us, what will give us. Next year we don't
know. Now the first year, it's like this. The 2nd year, the 3rd year what happens we don't know
because now we are in the test years. We are in examination now. Examination time. You are
in examination time. Not me, you. We are in examination time. Nobody saying "Not me, no".
All in examination. It is generally.
Sheikh Mehmet Efendi (qs), he was saying "My exam to be your Sheikh. Mawlana Sheikh, he
tested me to make me a Sheikh of Tariqa. This is my test. I don't like it. But it is my test. I have
to obey. And your test is to accept me as Sheikh." This is Sheikh Mehmet saying. "Your test is
to accept me as Sheikh". It is not easy for other Sheikhs but this is the test for you. This is
important things to be understand. Now one year. It is not a joke. When you are in test, you
have to be ready for your test because the life is so short even it is 1,000 years.
If they tell me "You are finishing today", I will be happy because I obey Mawlana Sheikh. If
you have 1,000 years to go and you don't obey Mawlana Sheikh, you are loser, I am winner.
Don't forget. This is very important announcement. 1,000 years and 1 second. 1 second you will

www.saltanat.org

be winner. 1,000 years you will be loser because they say counted days must finish. If you put
counting, it will be finished. The counting never been not finished. They say, "You look for the
watch, today it's 2015. Ya hu, just few days ago we've been 2014." Now we are coming for the
middle of 2015. We close eyes, open eyes - 2016.
It is going. It is speedy. Yesterday we had black beard, today we have white beard. Today we
are little bit young, tomorrow we will be walking like this. This is Allah Almighty, He is making
everything fast. There is so many things to happen. He doesn't wait for you. He doesn't wait for
your claiming. He doesn't want. There is system walking and working. Doesn't wait for
anybody. No. It is manifestation, great manifestation from Allah Almighty. You cannot rule it.
No. Nobody can rule it. Are you able to rule typhoon? No. The typhoon has own order to go
and doesn't listen to you. It doesn't listen to me, it doesn't listen to anybody. It has own things.

Everything has own things. Everything has system. And Allah Almighty, when He put the
system, He plug it and leak it and lock it. And He doesn't allow anybody to interfere. There is
so many people, they have the key but they will be respectful for Allah Almighty Order. They
say "Ya Rabbi, what is Your will, what is Your order, we obey, even You give us the key". And
this only Mawlana Sheikh Nazim was having this key, not other people. And he was saying,
"Whatever Allah Almighty is making in His high system, I will never interfere".
It is bad manner to interfere with Allah Almighty System, "lillahi rijalun idha aradu arad". Allah
Almighty saying - "If I have people that if they wish something, I will be obeying them, but that
people, they will say, "We will never argue with Allah Almighty because the best system and the
best thing been put by Allah Almighty. We don't understand. Yes. It is important things. You
have to know your position. You have to know your place. When you are proud, you will be
Pharaoh, you will be Nimrod. Yes. Doesn't matter. Allah Almighty, He hate the proudness. He
hate it.
He says "I'm not accepting from anybody to be proud. I am looking for the humble one". That
they be humble to Allah Almighty. When you start to be proud, you'll be proud to Allah
Almighty also. Because the ego, it only wants to give small chance, not too much, small chance.
You just open the door and see what the ego will do. See what the ego makes happen. That's
why in tariqa, say the first things you have to learn to not be proud, you have to be humble one.
This is the tariqa and this is what is teaching of spirituality. When you are proud, you cannot
learn anything because the sign of proudness, "I know". Say, "You know this?" "I know this".
There was very nice story about wrestler, very famous wrestler. He was wrestling and he has a
student. He teach him and then he sent his student and that student, he was wrestling around
the country. And he was beating all the wrestlers. Finally, they say "The only one you don't
beat, it is your master." And he challenged his master, said he beat everybody. "They said you
are the only one, nobody beat you, I am challenging you." And say "My son, don't challenge
me." "No, I challenge you. You teach me everything." He said "Ok".

They go for the arena. So many people coming. And they start to wrestle. And he was making
something and hit him, hit the student and student fell down. "My teacher, you didn't teach me
this one". He said "I keep it for myself. Because I know one day you will come and say "I know
everything. No, you don't know everything. Don't play with your master." Master has so many
tricks that you don't know. This is important. And insha'Allah, may Allah make this our
message for the heart of the murid and to make them not Sheikh, to make them murid.
There is no Sheikh except Sheikh Mehmet. The rest is murid. This must be known and this
must be claimed everywhere. It is important for you. For him, it's not important because his test
to be Sheikh, our test is to accept him. So Alhamdulillah we're accepting. And we want to say
to everybody to accept. When you accept, you are safe - "Aslim taslam." This is RasulAllah (sas)
saying: "Aslim taslam." That means you surrender, you'll be safe. Don't run after your ego. Ego
will take you for hell. No doubt.
If you are with your Sheikh, your Sheikh will take you for higher maqam. Don't follow your ego.
Teaching: it is to not follow your ego, teaching is to follow your Sheikh order. May Allah forgive
me and forgive us and make us here and hereafter with our Sheikh, and to give us the true love
that he catch and to be with him in that level insha'Allah.
