Try to feel modesty in your rukoo’ and humility in your
sujood because in such a position you have placed the soul in its proper place.
In sujood you have returned the limbs to their place of origin, upon the dust
from which they were created. Understand also the meaning of the remembrances
with inclination and zeal.
Know that performing the prayer with these internal conditions
is a cause of the purity of the heart from adulteration and pollution, of
obtaining the lights by which the Might and Greatness of the One Who is
worshipped is realised and of discovering His secrets and none understands them
except those grounded in knowledge (the scholars).
As for the one who is standing performing the external actions without
knowing their significance or meanings he will not realise or discover any of
the above, rather he will reject that it exists.
