One Of The Keys To The Heart.

[Abu Hafsat]

A respected Teacher once observed that the "tongue is the key to the heart. The more the tongue moves in uttering the remembrance (Zikr) of Allah, the more the heart opens up and the more that precious things appear within it. It is as if the remembrance of Allah is the east wind bringing news of the Beloved. 

It delights the earth of the dead body by filling it with gardens and orchards. Water flows before the door of every house of the body, and blossoms pour down in the meadow of each organ and part. "

After Baha Walad (d. 1230), from his 'Gnostic Sciences' (Ma'arif).
