Every name of God is an attribute of God, and
every name of God, according to the law of nature, is active. Every attribute
has power and life in it. When we repeatedly say any name of God, it becomes
necessary that the power and effect of the name come forth. If we do not get
the expected results, then we should look at our negligence and wrong
behaviour. We all know that during the treatment of a disease, along with the
medicines, we have to practice abstinence from certain things. If we do not
abstain from them, the medicine will not have any effect on us. In the disease
of negligence and wrong behaviour the abstinence that is required involves
legal and lawful employment, hatred of lies and love of truth, love for the
creatures of God, uniformity in what is apparent and what is hidden, hatred for
hypocrisy, abstinence for the breach of peace, and avoidance of feelings of
pride. Any person who is a hypocrite and hardhearted and who feels or thinks
that he is superior to other creatures of God and that other creatures are
inferior to him can never enjoy the benefits of godly attributes. Before
repeating any name of God, it is important that one confirm all the qualities
described above.

What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
