Entry way to the Divine before the Bismillah
{In Holy Quran 18.60 Behold, Moses said to his attendant, “I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two seashore (until) I spend years and years in travel.”}
The ninth stage is to return to your Cave, as Allah mentioned in Surat al-Kahf,
“When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourself to the Cave: your Lord will shower His mercies on you…” [Quran 18:16]
“When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourself to the Cave: your Lord will shower His mercies on you…” [Quran 18:16]
“The Cave is the Divine Presence. Here one utters the cherished prayer of the Prophet Muhammad (saw):
اِلَهِيْ اَنْتَ مَقْصُودِيْ وَ رِضَاكَ مَطْلُوْبِيْIlahi anta maqsudi wa ridhaka matlubi (‘O God, You are my destination and Your Pleasure is what I seek.’ The heart, as it cycles between the cessation and restoration of its pumping, exists at the level of the Essence of the Divine Presence. Because that Divine Essence is the source of all created beings, that heart will be at one with every minutest creation in this universe. The heart which has reached the secrets of the nine points will be able to see everything, hear everything, know everything, taste everything, sense everything, ‘Until He will be the ears with which he hears, the eyes with which he sees, the tongue with which he speaks, the hand with which he grasps, and the feet with which he walks. He will beرَبَانِيْRabbani (Lordly), he only needs to say to a thing كُنِ فَيَكُونْKun Fayakun (Be! and it will be).”
