| Reading on Mysticism from Sophie's World |
| 2010-02-24 08:55:00 |
1.
A mystical experiences is an experience of merging with God or the "cosmic spirit." Many religions emphasize the gulf between God and Creation, but the mystic experiences no such gulf. He or she has experienced being "one with God" or "merging" with him.

| You should try to hear the name He has for things |

You should try to hear the name
He has for things.
There is something in the phrase: “He taught Adam names.”
We name everything according
to its outward form;
He names it according
to the batin, to what is inside.
Moses waved his stick; he thought it was a staff,
Inside its name was “serpent.”
No one knows our hidden name
until our last breath goes out.
- Rumi (credit)

Essential for the journey to Allah are three things. Dhikr is the first.
First is Dhikr.

Love is the flame which, when it blazes,
consumes everything other than the Beloved.
The lover wields the sword of Nothingness
in order to dispatch all but God;
consider what remains after Nothing.
There remains but God: all the rest is gone.
Praise to you, O mighty Love, destroyer of all other "gods".

After you've become nothing, you needn't fear the anvil;
