Vol. 1, The Purpose of Life
4. The Desire for Power
Baqa (Thou Art)
And the idea of resurrection explains the next stage, which is Baqa, and which means, "Thou art", and this means rising towards All-might. The divine spirit is to be recognized in that rising towards All-might. Fana is not attained by torturing oneself, by tormenting oneself, by giving oneself a great many troubles, as many ascetics do. For even after torturing themselves, they will not come to that realization if they were not meant to.
It is by denying one's little self, the false self which covers one's real self, in which the essence of divine Being is to be found.
