The discourses in this book were spoken in Tamil by Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.) while he was residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thirty-five discourses were given over a four-month period, from August 11, 1983 to December 23, 1983. At that time they were preserved on audio tape. We have edited and assembled these discourses chronologically, and present them to you in three volumes, this book being the first of the three.
