At a certain point along the path of love, God reaches out and begins to assist us, drawing the seeker toward the divine presence. As this occurs, striving melts into surrender, through which one is helped to awaken, is taken in by God.
Remembrance. One of the basic Sufi practices to open the heart is remembrance. Abu-Hamid al-Ghzali, in his book Invocations and Supplications, notes that remembrance has four basic meanings. First, it is an act of constantly striving to be mindful of God. In this sense, it is the opposite of heedlessness. Prayer is also remembrance. Prayer invites the Sufi into God’s presence.
Second, remembrance is the repetition of a mystical formula or Divine Name, such as “there is no god but God,” “Allah,” “Life [ya Hayy],” or “Truth [ya Haqq.” This practice of invocation, requires sincerity of intention, awareness, concentration, instruction, and authorization or initiation into the practice. This repetition is the remembrance of the tongue.
Third, remembrance means a temporary, inner state in which awareness of God overwhelms the person and he or she becomes truly divorced from all concerns for the world, at least for the moment. This is the remembrance of the heart.
Fourth, remembrance is a deep and stable station in which invocation and mindfulness have become constant. This the remembrance of the soul.
