Makrifah

True knowledge (makrifah) comes after belief, belief comes after submission. True knowledge is gained when the intellect (mind) and spirituality (heart) are in harmony. In other words, The Light is being absorbed by the self.

True knowledge, belief and submission evolve together through life experience of the self. A continuous effort along with patience, forebearance and perseverance is the critical factor in the self's evolution to increase the consciousness.
