Cairo, 1867) and Ghazālī, “If the mysticis free from all distraction, the Light of God will shine upon his heart and it will be at the first like a blinding flash of lightning. Its sojourn is but brief, but it will return, for it is the prelude to a constant communion with God.” Ihyā', iii, 167, 17 (ed. Cairo, A.H. 1272).
