Toward the One,
the Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty,
the Only Being;
United with All the Illuminated Souls,
Who form the Embodiment of the Master,
the Spirit of Guidance.
This Sufi invocation was part of the daily rhythm of Rahima's life. I often marveled at how she would recite these words, usually in silence, to begin her meditation and fall almost instantly into a deep, blissful state.Toward the One,
the Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty,
the Only Being;
United with All the Illuminated Souls,
Who form the Embodiment of the Master,
the Spirit of Guidance.
The invocation was said at Rahima's memorial service and I was struck then by how through all these years of daily practice she had been preparing herself for union with "the One, the Perfection of Love, Harmony, and Beauty."
