All this Creation. World, universe or cosmos is physical
manifestation of God (attributes)- Say, “Turn to Allah or
turn to the Rahman; with whichever understanding you
turn, to HU(çÏ¢æÎé S±LÐ ÐÚ¢) belongs the Most Beautiful Names
(all the Names reference the ONE! The Beautiful Names
are references to the various qualities of the ONE; there is
no other than HU)! Do not raise your voice during prayer,
but do not conceal it completely either; seek a way between
them.” (ÜUé.17-110) who is Your only god is God; the One
beside whom there is no other god. His knowledge
encompasses all things. That I am seeing Him everywhere.
No visions can encompass Him, but He encompasses all
visions .He is the Compassionate, the Cognizant (ÜUé.6-103).
I should always remain aloof from evil thoughts and evil
deeds and perform True Worship of God by extending
cooperation in promoting happiness, peace and beauty in
this Universe which is His creation.

characteristics of God within human capability. That God
may inspire (Ð홢ïÎì²¢¼ì) our (Ý:) intellect (ç{²:) and lead us
on the righteous path. May our intellect become pious-by
submitting ego to His inspiration of words Only
(submission to God only). May He lead us to righteous path
(ç„Ú¢¼ï}¢éS¼ÜUè}¢). On getting the righteous wisdom we may be
able to enjoy celestial bliss in this life and the Hereafter
and make our life successful, God is Hearer, Seer. We
should contemplate and meditate on these three
determinations slowly and gradually pausing for a moment
on each word and an imaginary picture of that word should
be drawn in the mind.
The man gets enriched in divine elements by contemplating
and meditating on this meaning of Gayatri (surah Fateha in
quran). These sentiments (}¢Ý¢ï|¢¢±) are extremely powerful,
encouraging, righteous and elevating. One should
contemplate these feelings daily for five times as a „‹Š²¢ïТ„Ý¢

contemplation, the meaning of Gayatri Mantra is fully
assimilated in the heart (kalb-man) of the person.
The result is that in a few days his mind gets diverted from
evil deeds and he starts taking enthusiastic joy in righteous
thinking and good actions. Howsoever little this tendency
maybe in the beginning, it is almost certain that if it
persists, the innerself of „¢{ÜU becomes spiritually advanced
day by day and ultimate aim of life appears to have come
closer and closer.
As mentioned by Sri Sriram Sharma Acharya."The Gayatri
Mantra („éÚã ÈU¢ç¼ã¢- ¥¢Ð:„Œ¼ }¢¢¼Úì ¥S}¢ñ ¼Sƒé-«.8-96-1-Ý}¢¢…}¢ïæ Ï¢¢Ú

any particular sect of worship. It is not restricted to any
community. It is Universal. It contains in it the culture not
of any particular society, but the culture of humanity. The
Gayatri Mantra („éÚã ÈU¢ç¼ã¢) is a treasure and heritage that
belongs to the whole of humanity without exclusion."

1- I seek refuge in the protective forces of the Names of
Allah comprising my Essence from impulses generated by
the accursed and rejected (rajim) Satan (S¼ïÝ-±ë~¢ ¥{à¢æ„:-

as a result of preconditioning, causes our sense of illusion
to perceive the existent as non-existent and the non-existent
as existent, thereby making man believe he is an
independent being and body outside the Names of Allah,
directing man to the idea of an external deity-God in the
heavens.
2- By the one who is denoted by the name Allah (Ï¢ír¢) (who
created my being with His Names in accord with the
meaning of the letter ‘B’), the Rahman (Most Gracious),
the Rahim (Most Merciful).
Hamd (S¼éç¼-Ðíà¢æ„¢) (the evaluation of the corporeal worlds
created with His Names, as He wills) belongs to Allah, the

Rabb (¥¢çÎ Ðí…¢Ðç¼) (the absolute source of the infinite
meanings of the Names) of the worlds (the universe created
within the brain of every individual)
3- The Rahman (¥y²‹¼ β¢Hé) (the quality with which He
forms the dimension of Names; the Quantum Potential),
the Rahim (¥y²‹¼ ÜUëТHé)(the quality with which He
continually creates the engendered existence with the
meanings of the Names)
4- The Maleek („±ü„œ¢¢{èà¢) (the Sovereign One, who
manifests His Names as he wishes and governs them in the
world of acts as He pleases. The One who has providence
over all things) or the Maalik (the Absolute Owner) of the
eternal period governed by the decrees of religion
(sunnatullah-çÎÝéÌ¢ã-çÎÝï-ÜUçIJ}¢¢-„Ý¢¼Ý{}¢ü).
5- You alone we serve, and from You alone we seek the
continual manifestation of your Names (By manifesting the
meanings of Your Beautiful Names we, as the whole of
creation, are in a state of natural servitude to You, and we
seek guidance to attain and maintain this awareness at all
times)

[shirq; duality- Vyabhicharini bhakti (|¢çQUÚòç|¢™¢çÚ燢
Geeta13-10) is a type of devotion and yogic philosophy
that is divided between love of worldly desires and
devotion to the Lord of Universe. The term comes from the
Sanskrit vyabhicharini, which means “one who is
unfaithful” and “characterless.”associate his devotion with
the One and Only One without proof (Ðí}¢¢‡¢) It refers
deviating from one's promise which was submitted by all
human in the beginning 7-172-174- Recall that your Lord
summoned all the descendants of Adam (S±æ|¢ê}¢Ýé), and had
them bear witness for themselves: "Am I not your Lord?"

witness." (¥¢y}¢„}¢Ðü‡¢ ÜUÚ¼ï ãñ) Thus, you cannot say on the Day
of Resurrection (}¢ã¢ÐíH²), "We were not aware of this
9
knowledge (We were cocooned) (This refers to man being
created upon the natural disposition of Islam-¥¢y}¢„}¢Ðü‡¢).
173 Nor can you say, "It was our parents (Ðê±ü…) who
practiced idolatry (Vyabhicharini bhakti ), and we are
their descendants simply followed in their footsteps (the
continuation of their genetic coding). Will You punish
(destroy) us because of what our parents (Ðê±ü…) have
innovated?"( denial of the Truth?) (i.e. This is an invalid
excuse as everyone is created upon the natural disposition
of Islam--¥¢y}¢„}¢Ðü‡¢, but their understanding of religion
derives from the environmental conditionings they receive).
174-We thus explain the in detail the proofs – signs, to
enable the people to redeem themselves(that perhaps they
will return (to their essential reality).).( This life is our last
chance to return to God's Kingdom)
Vyabhicharini bhakti is sometimes described as unstable
devotion because it is inconsistent, the yogi has spiritual
longing (craving) and demonstrates his love for the Lord,
but his devotion waivers between that spiritual longing and
worldly desires ( §üࢢ±¢S² ©ÐçݯΠ12-…¢ï ¥„}|¢êç¼ ÜUè ©Ð¢„Ý¢ ÜUÚ¼ï ãñ

number the majority of the jinn (¥¢„éÚ) and mankind for the
life of hell! They have hearts (consciousness) with which
they cannot understand (the reality), they have eyes with
which they cannot evaluate what they see, they have ears
with which they cannot understand what they hear! They
are like cattle (an’am), nay, they are even less conscious of
the right way: it is they who are the truly heedless (living in
their cocoons)!
