Spiritual conversation (sohbet) with Shaikh Kabir Helminski on the theme of Watchfulness:

“Muraqaba simply means to be watchful. Watchful of what? Well, ideally watchful of the heart oriented towards God. If you were with your beloved and it was something rare and special, would you be daydreaming? Or, would you just wish to be there? Imagine if we could feel about God in that way.”
