The illustrative and correct recitation of God’s names and reflection are two guides for a mystical traveler after a mystical master if he always uses them. He then would pace the levels of perfection gradually. Whenever a mystical traveler undergoes the sin of forgetting God, it is necessary to return in the recitation of God’s names and reflection after telling to his master. So, when he had privacy and returned to the last state, his heart would be clean from all stains and dust soon. According to this principle, when you have met someone, causing your heart to become dark, do not be hopeless and do not assume you have gone out from the path of God. It is necessary that you have a spiritual privacy until you return in the last state and even better than before. It is here which the exhilaration and power would be renewed and you start to go wayfaring again. There is no power or strength save in God.
