This is the love of God which appears as manifestation in Djabrut, that is to say, the sphere of heart. Even on the earth plane it flows with every heart-pulsation. It is that which keeps us alive here and which keeps us alive hereafter, and which impelled us heretofore on our way to manifestation. It is that which everyone desires, which is all joy and happiness. It is that which constitutes all delight of Paradise. And what is that? It is nothing but Allah in the manner in which He presents Himself to His creatures. Practice of Zikr brings it to us here and now. Every intoxication of soul is nothing but this wine, and it cannot be compared to any human delight.
