Let your invocation be the all-embracing Name, which is Allah, Allah, Allah, or if you so wish, Huwa, Huwa, Huwa; and do not violate this remembrance. Be careful lest your tongue pronounce it while other-than-He is in your heart.

When you feel the emergence of the Speaker within you through the invocation, do not abandon the spiritual condition wherein you find yourself.
