The words of Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen(Ral.) reveal the Sufi path of esoteric Islām: that the human being is uniquely created with the faculty of wisdom, enabling him to trace himself back to his Origin-Allāh, the Creator and Cherisher of all the Universes who exists in Oneness with all lives-and to surrender to that Source, leaving the One God, the Truth, as the only reality in his life. This is the original intention of the purity that is Islām.
Bawa Muhaiyaddeen(Ral.) spoke endlessly of this Truth through parables, discourses, songs, and stories, all pointing the way to return to God. Over fifteen thousand hours of this ocean of knowledge were recorded.
People of all ages, religions, classes, backgrounds, and races flocked to hear and be near him; he interacted compassionately and lovingly with all of them, opening his heart to them equally, regardless of who they were. Presidents of countries and fakirs from the streets, the proud and the humble, the high-ranking and the low-ranking, the ordinary and the extraordinary, the extremely poor and the extremely rich all sat side by side in his presence.
An extraordinary being, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen(Ral.) taught from experience, having traversed the path and returned, divinely aware-sent back to exhort all who yearn for the experience of God to discover the inner wisdom that is the path of surrender to that One.
Once, when asked by disciples to write an autobiography for an upcoming book, Bawa Muhaiyaddeen(Ral.) responded by saying that he would have to abandon his physical form in order to do so. Those disciples became extremely upset and told him that his physical presence was indispensable to them and that they could not live in the world without it. In that book, he said:
All praise belongs entirely to the One who is Allāh. His story is the totality of all there is: that is the great story. That story itself is Truth. That Truth itself is indestructible. That Indestructibility itself has been made to exist eternally as a natural state. That Eternity itself has no flaw. That Flawlessness itself is complete. That Completion itself is the One Supreme Being who is omnipresent everywhere. Now and for all time, the Omnipresence that exists everywhere has been commingled with everything everywhere. Complete, dwelling within everything, it consists of Resplendent Light. The Resplendent Light itself exists without beginning or end, without equal. It has neither birth nor death, dissolution nor boundary, start nor finish. It consists of purity. It has neither caste nor religion, existing beyond what is beyond scripture and doctrine.
Made clearly evident through the state of compassionate love, it belongs equally to everyone…
Children! Our story consists of investigating and studying the story of that Being. There is no story other than that for you or for me. This is indeed the Natural Reality. We are the artificial things. The Natural does not perish. The artificial will be destroyed. Are you asking me for the story of that which is eternally indestructible? Or the story of that which will perish? Which story are you requesting?[1]
A mystical being in a mystical land, he was first sighted by spiritual seekers at the edge of the jungle near the pilgrimage town of Kataragama in what was then known as the island country of Ceylon. A man we know only as Pariari Thambu, a humble man who sold cigars at temple festivals, and a few others from the town of Kokuvil caught brief, unforgettable glimpses of him there.
The tiny island that is shaped like a teardrop falling from the tip of southern India is a place known for its legendary as well as its sacred geography. Adam’s Peak in the center of the island is said to have retained the imprint created by the impact of the foot of Adam(A.S.) from when he first touched the earth after being cast out of the Garden of Eden.
Referred to in the ancient text of the Ramayana as Lanka, it was the site of Princess Sita’s captivity by her abductor, Ravana, the evil demon-king of Lanka. The Ramayana contains details of the battlefields where the armies of her husband, Prince Rama, fought the armies of the demon-king, and describes the groves of exotic herbs dropped by Hanuman, the monkey-king who helped Prince Rama rescue his wife.
When island was called the Isle of Serendib, voyage of Sinbad was described in The Thousand and One Nights. Medieval Arabs and Persians made regular pilgrimages to Adam’s Peak. Ibn Batutah, the fourteenth century Arab traveler and scholar, made that pilgrimage.
Legends record the visit of the Qutb(Ral.), who after visiting Adam’s Peak meditated for twelve years in what came to be known as the hermitage shrine of Daftar Jailani that lies at the edge of a precipitous granite cliff in the south-central portion of the island, a site that has become a place of saintly visitation and mystical meditation.
