If, during the practice of dhikr, the devotee cannot maintain presence of awareness of reality without the medium of the physical heart, then attention is directed towards the continuous motion in the heart. If this is also lost then, to regain the relation with reality, the devotee should either take a cold bath, or exhale breath from the brain with force, or repeat "Fa'al" several times. Forgetfulness of God should not be tolerated.Context:
This is a state which may arise in the method of dhikr described by Shaykh Kalimallah.< Broader:
