70 MOULAMIA ZIKAR OF GRACE
THE PRACTICE OF THE ZIKAR
.The Moulamia Zikar for Sufi Lovehood is the Grace of the Master.
The lovers of lovehood are blessed by the Beloved and by the Beloved of the Beloved !
This zikar is an inner door to the All-Beloved and can very well be practised after the Heartzikar or run directly into it.
The Moulamia Zikar is practised together preferably sitting cross-legged in a circle.
The hands may rest on the knees or held on the heart, or held open and move along.
See also the notes on the practice of the other zikars.
The Moulamia Zikar of Grace has five parts.
1. The Cross with the Rose
La
i-/ lah ha,/ il Al-/ lah Hu; in four measures of each four beats.The head bends to the right side on the first beat of the measure 1, and then bends to the left on 2.; the head goes upwards in the centre on 3 and downwards on 4.
The eyes are drawing the horizontal from right to left, praying that this world may reveal itself as the revelation of the Beloved by drawing the curtain of our ego aside. And the eyes draw the vertical line from upwards to downwards, praying that the opening of the spiritual world may make the garden of the heart fruitful by unselfish love, that the secret rose of sufism may flourish in that garden on the cross-point of the worlds.
The hands may move along on 1 right hand stretches out open to the right, 2 left hand to the left, 3 both hands open up forwards, and on 4 both hands brought to the heart.
2. The Thread of Heavens
IL
Al-/ lah Hu; in two measures of each four beats.The head goes up in the centre on the first beat of measure 1, and goes down on 2.
The eyes draw the vertical as Alif to connect heavens and hearts by love and longing.
Both hands may move along on 1 open up forwards, on 2 brought to the heart.
3. The Cells of Eternity
Al
-lah/ Hu; in two measures of each four beats.The head moves forwards down on 1, and more down backward to the breast on 2.
The eyes may bring both transparent cells of Allah and Hu together around the heart, giving it birth to vibrate and radiate for eternity in the light of pure love. Both hands may move open forwards on 1, the bent fingers of both hands touches the heart on "Hu".
4. The Point of Nothing
Hu; two measures of four beats.
The head moves down to near the heart on the first beat Hu and moves rhythmically coming up in seven beats and then fall down on the first beat again.
The hands may move along touching with the fingers of both hands the heart on the first beat and open up as a rose in prayer when the head rises and opens also.
What may happen by the loosing of our self is an intense experience as if all is nothing and nothing is all, the point of nothing becomes the point of all.
5. The All
: silent meditation within the Beloved transmitted as Love, Light and Life.In a certain stadium of the zikars the words may be whispered staccato on the power of the breath to intensify the feeling and be exalted in the love for the All-Beloved .
The mystical truth of Sufism is written in the Zikar which is to be exercised in the holy presence of the Masters and can only be read and realised by the Grace of the Master, who is the Grace of the All-Beloved Self.
