He eloquently speaks about the present (and past) in conjunction with his people, and his words carry a resonance which alludes to a fast-approaching possible future for many other peoples. May God have mercy on all of us ... those who have awakened (at least to a degree), and those who are struggling to awaken, as well as those who are still asleep but have the potential to awaken. Whether we are struggling to awaken, or we continue to sleep or, if (to whatever degree) we have awakened and are seeking to constructively act in some way, these are all choices for which we have a duty of care and from which there is no escape. This is at the heart of what is entailed by having been given the gift of life.
The Sufi Path is a process of amanesis (remembrance, realization). In pre-eternity, God asked the spirits: Alastu bi Rabikum (Am I not your Lord)? When we come into this material existence, we forget about pre-eternity and the task of life is to remember our way back to the truth concerning the nature of our essential relationship with God. This process of remembering or recollecting is known as amanesis.
