“By means of the Divine Lights the heart becomes polished so that it shines like a polished mirror. When it becomes a mirror one can see in it the reflection of all existing things and the reflection of the Kingdom of God as they really are . When one sees the Glory and Majesty of God in His Realm then all the lights become one light and the chest becomes full with this shining light. He is like a man who observes his reflection in a mirror and sees in it at the same time the reflection of all that is before and behind him. Now when a ray of sun hits the mirror the whole house becomes flooded with light from the meeting of these two lights: the light of the sun-ray and the light of the mirror. Similarly the heart: when it is polished and shining it beholds the Realm of Divine Glory and the Divine Glory becomes revealed to it. – Al-Hakim at-Tirmidhi” SufiSufi WisdomSufi WaySufi GnosisSufi SayingsAl Hakim At Tirmidhi Book:Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters Source: Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters
