  • After this comes the prayer of realization. This is the prayer of the dervishes, of the saints. They are ashamed to ask even of God. With whatever comes they are content. If they have food, whatever it is, it is right. If they have no food, it is right. If they have no covering, it is right. By this contentment they become greater than kings. Sitting under a tree, in rags, they are greater than the richest, than those who own all the earth and yet are needy, because they have the kingdom of God. Their prayer is the zikr, Fikr, the prayer of realization. The zikr, the perfect humanity, Fikr, the prayer of the jinn, of thought only, without words. The shaghal, by which he enters the angelic world. But about what they see, their lips are closed. They do not speak of it. They never tell.
