Music by Georgia Carr
ZIKR: LA ILAHA ILLA ALLA HUU
Dedicated to Susan MacFarlane, my beloved, as we join in the Zikr
Lyrics
MEANING OF ZIKR
The Sufis call the Zikr the breath of gratitude
The remembrance of God breathing each of us into existence
La - is nothing. I am nothing, only You Beloved
Nothing exists but That Reality
Existence arises out of the great emptiness
and we are returning to That
We hold this remembrance in our mind, tongue and heart
After singing the Zikr one sits in the expansive silence
dissolved in The One
Self-consciousness dissolves into God-Consciousness
HU ~ serves as a tuning fork
HU brings us into greater harmony with the Divine Source
HU is the spirit of all sounds ~ a love song to God
