Question: "Why does a apple seed germinate?" Answer: "Through awareness and acceptance of the "truth of itself", and the "truth of the apple tree hidden within it", because it allows the "truth to surrender to the truth" within it, by willingly and freely letting its life on the "outside" of itself, in the earth, come to a end, because it becomes aware & accepts the truth that naturally emerges from within it, that it is an apple seed, that it is buried within the earth, and that the earth contains everything necessary for the apple tree hidden within it to grow." Question & Answer: Given during the 1986 month of Ramadan, the traditional Islamic month of fasting, a few months before He died, by our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him).
