Zikr

It is quite possible that the four serbas represent the four elements from their meanings and motions, although in a sense the first contains all. In another sense they represent the same principles as the four letters of the sacred name. They also represent:

1st Serba         The Declaration          Shariat                         Law Obedience           Childhood

2nd Serba        The Lord is God Alone Tarikat          Path to Knowledge     Youth

3rd Serba        He is God                   Hakeekat        Knowing the Truth     Maturity

4th Serba         He                               Marefat           Being the Truth           Superman

Symbols: We go from the circumference toward the center. The science and law of Growth in All Things.
