muraqabah is watching
observe thoughts, notice they come from the unseen, nothingness, and they return to nothingness; when you understand where they come from they lose their charge
the heart faces the nafs or the ruh (spirit, breath)
it is possible to be absorbed, lose your dhikr, even in fana'; all states are temporary
in muraqabah there is some stability, a way to stay sober
thought doesn't stay attached to you
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, no strength or power but Allah;; hawla: strength to transform based on deep insight; quwwata: strength of heart
in remembrance of God hearts find rest
