appreciation

Meditation can be thought of as washing ourselves of our small-self concerns by bathing in That which is Changeless and Loving.  In other words: letting go and remembering God.

We don't often talk about God's reaction to our practice.  According to the Quran, God appreciates our practice and rewards us generously for it.  The Appreciator (ash-Shakur) is one of His beautiful names.   

(Quran 20:8) God: there is no other god besides Him. To Him belong the most beautiful names.

Peace on you,
