“When you make Zikr and contemplate on a Name of the One Living Reality, focus on your heart. Become aware that this One Living Reality exists within your heart. However, before you begin, pray to this One Living Reality beseeching forgiveness for your actions and thoughts of duality (what the traditional teachings call 'sin'). As you contemplate on the Name, allow your heart to fill with this Attribute of the One Living Reality. That is all. Do not walk around thinking 'God is inside me,' for that is pride and dualistic behavior. You are privileged even to say the Name. Do not think you are special, for believing in a 'you' is to set up partners with the One Living Reality.” ForgivenessSufismNameShirkTasawufDhikrSet Up PartnersZikr Book:The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis Source: The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
