The Source itself shows the way to those who seek to remember.
Remember as you have been guided.
This means: remember that your Creator has brought you to a certain level of consciousness and faith. You can only remember in accordance with this ability.
It is said: “The best declaration of remembrance is the one all the seekers recite: There is nothing—but the One.”
There are different levels of remembrance, and each has different ways.
Some are expressed outwardly with audible voice. Some are felt inwardly, silently, from the center of the heart.
At the beginning you should declare in words what you remember. Then, stage by stage, the remembrance spreads throughout your being—
descending to the heart,
then rising to the soul,
then further to the realm of secrets,
further to the hidden,
to the most hidden of the hidden.
How far the remembrance penetrates—the level it reaches—depends solely on the extent to which grace has guided you.
Remembrance pronounced in words is a declaration that the heart has not forgotten.
Inward silent remembrance is a movement of the emotions.
Remembrance of the heart is feeling in yourself the manifestation of might and beauty.
Remembrance of the soul is enlightenment—the divine light generated by might and beauty.
Remembrance at the level of the secret realm is ecstasy received from beholding divine secrets.
Remembrance of the hidden realm brings you to the place of truth, in the presence of sovereign power.
Remembrance at the final level—the most hidden of the hidden—brings annihilation of self and unification with truth.
In reality, none other than the Source knows the state of one who has penetrated that realm containing all knowledge—which is the end of all and everything.
Surely the One knows the secret, and what is yet more hidden.
When you have passed through these stages of remembrance, a different state of spirit—as if a different soul—is born in you.
That soul is purer and finer than all other souls. It is the child of the heart, the child of truth.
While in the form of seed, this child invites and attracts you to seek and find the truth. After it is born, this child urges you to seek the Essence itself.
Neither this new soul nor its seed and potential is in everyone. It is found only in the pure seeker.
The soul is placed by decree in the hearts of those who are chosen.
This soul is sent from the realm of power and placed in the visible world where the attributes of the Creator are manifest in creation—but it belongs to the realm of truth.
It does not favor or pay attention to anything but the Essence.
It is said: “This world is undesirable for those who wish for the hereafter. The hereafter is undesirable for those who wish for this world. But for souls who seek the Essence, neither this world nor the hereafter has any attraction.”
This soul is the child of truth. It is that within you which will seek, find, and be with its origin.
Over and above anything you do, the material being in you must follow the straight path. That is only possible through practice. And practice requires consciousness—remembrance.
Remember night and day, inwardly and outwardly, continuously.
For those who see the truth, to remember is an obligation.
Remember standing and sitting and lying down.
Those who remember standing and sitting and lying on their sides,
and who reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth—
“Our Lord, You have not created this in vain.”
Conditions for Remembrance
One condition that prepares you to remember is to be cleansed—washed bodily, purified inwardly.
At the beginning, the condition for effective remembrance is to pronounce aloud the words and phrases—the declaration of unity, the attributes of the divine. When these words are recited, use all your effort to stay conscious.
In this way the heart hears the word and is enlightened. It receives energy and becomes alive—not only alive in this world, but alive forever.
They taste not death therein, except the first death.
It is said of those who achieve truth through remembrance: “They do not die. They only pass from this temporal life to everlasting life.” And they continue there what they did here.
Inward silent supplication is one of the principal qualities of the true seeker.
Wisdom is not obtained by you—it is given to you. After being elevated to that state, the wise become intimate with the secrets.
The Source brings you to its secrets only if your heart is alive and conscious with remembrance, and if that conscious heart has the wish to receive the truth.
My eyes sleep, but my heart is ever awake.
The importance of wishing in obtaining wisdom is explained thus:
“If someone wishes to learn and acts upon their wish and studies, but dies before attaining their goal, they are assigned teachers who teach them wisdom until the Day of Reckoning. That person is raised as one who has obtained the truth.”
And: “Many who wish to know die ignorant, but are raised on that day as wise. And many with knowledge are raised depraved, having lost everything, totally ignorant.”
Those who are proud of their knowledge, who seek it to obtain the goods of the world—they are warned:
You received your good things in the life of the world
and took your pleasure from them.
Today you shall be recompensed with humiliation.
It is said: “Actions are conditioned by intentions. The wish and intention of the faithful are better and more worthy than their actions. The intention of the unfaithful is worse than what appears in their actions.”
Intention is the foundation of action.
“It is good to build a good deed upon a good foundation. An error is a deed built upon bad intentions.”
The best course is to find a true spiritual teacher who will bring your heart to life. This will secure you eternal life. It must be done now, before the time is spent.
This world is the field of the hereafter.
Whoever does not plant here will not reap there.
Plant your field upon this earth with both the seeds of a good life here and the seeds that will yield a good harvest in what comes after.
