Here the follower begs from his creator, glory be to Him, the overflowing of Mercy and looking at the sky, as a sign of politeness, for God is above all, free of space and time.

9- For heart awareness, the follower should achieve two conditions: First, he should concentrate, second, he should expel all other thoughts which may penetrate to his imagination. Then he proceeds. This is called “The stoppage”. It’s better to hold the breath during the invocation as the guides advice, so the warmth will spring in the heart, the eagerness will arise in the innerself and the love and affection will be borne, where as the evil suggestions will be expelled, and all the veils will be removed gradually from infront of these followers. Thus; obviously sophism is a behavior one should be expert in its ample field.

10- The numerical awareness means that the invocation should be in odd numbers, one time three times, five times. This is a step transmitted by Sir Baha Eddin Naqshband, whose has some remarks in revealing some secrets of this course. The follower should invoke “La Ilaha Illa Allah” twenty-one times in one breath. If he succeeds in that through watching himself and characterized by morality, then he’ll reap the harvest and his heart will be purified and metaphorical some secrets will be revealed to him. On the contrary, if he failed to apply these conditions perfectly well, he wouldn’t achieve such a result. He has to find out the error he committed with the help of his guide if he has some.

It should be known these conditions as the heart awareness, numerical awareness, the breath stoppage, and passing the invocation through the senses – Lataef. All become easy after practicing and training. As the physical exercises is difficult at the beginning. Lifting ten –10 – kilograms appears a hard task at first, after training the trainer will be able lift 100 kilograms. The same case is with the spiritual exercises with one difference that the first reaps financial fruit lasts for a certain period where as the second is interested and materialistic in gaining, the creator’s satisfaction and becomes a vivid Lantern for the humans. In general, the main fruit for this creation is the purification as the case through the invocation of Allah which passes through these hidden senses to purify them gradually one after the other, so all illuminate with light beginning with the heart proceeding to overwhelm them all.

B- The Watching of the Self.

All the already mentioned conditions for the invocation are required here such as the repentance, the asking for forgiveness, being ready, sitting in a calm place, dismissing all earthly imaginations, heading towards Lord’s course, imploring the Creator quietly, in overwhelmed with longing internally without any guide asking – God – Allah to shower him with mercy, abundance and blessings and let his heart shine with God’s light.

When the heading to Allah wins, dominates the heart and becomes a power, a firm true deep morality due to practicing day and night, the follower reaches a stage called in sophism. Heading towards the invocated one hot towards the invocation, means towards Lord, the Master of the invocation. Here the Luminosity of Allah spreads in (his) the heart, and he sees the hidden. The great sheikhs said “The attraction towards Allah Alhak is achieved through watching the self which is a faster medium than through the invocation”. It is also said that the perseverance of watching the self elevates the follower metaphorically to the minister level which is the summit. Some of the benefits of this self watching is that the follower is obeyed in the Heaven kingdom, and he gains the knowledge of the interior, and the power of dominating the hearts; so whoever reaches the watching rank, never has he to forget the invocation, the worshipping, the right nocturnal prayer and the performance of the five prayers. They also said “keeping close to these meek people is the reason for success. God says: “Ya Ayyouha Allathina Amanou Ettaquo Allah Wakounou Maa Essadekeen”, means: You, believers be pious and be with the honest ones. Tawba Chapter verse 119. some secrets may be revealed through the watching state for the great followers, so they know their moral conditions. This is the meaning of watching with respect to Naqshbandiah course, besides the another meaning which has already been mentioned, which is watching the self and suppressing its desires.
