Document Summary
The state of awakening: the person reflects and begins to recognize that they need to emerge from their state of sleep/heedlessness in order for them to undertake their journey. Reflected in the quranic text: rise up to god . Expressing gratitude towards the grace of god=difficult; would require 500 years of worship to express such. A glance of the heart that was provided by the grace provided by god. Human being is always in a state of heedlessness and lack of recognition of all the blessings/graces that they have. Examine the transgressions that one has taken toward god and trying to get rid of the transgressions that have been undertaken. To be alert to the increase and decrease of god"s favor upon you. Once the heart is awake, it begins to feel; requires some level of self awareness. Those who do not repent are the wrongdoers .
