This is not to say "I am" or "I am not," it is to give no thoughts to self but all to God. Let one say, "What would God have me say, what would God have me think, what would God have me do?" But even this is unnecessary for there is always a feeling of ease if not of joy when one practices Darood—to harmonize all action, speech, and thought with the breath. This is easy, simple, and sufficient, and for it no knowledge of metaphysics is necessary.
