The esteemed ones among the devoted (the *havâs*) of the saints prefer the Naqshbandi path, which is founded upon a concealed remembrance (*dhikr*) and is the closest means to attaining union with God in essence. It explains that each of its three aspects constitutes the capital of the realm of spiritual insight (*irfân*), that whoever enters the Naqshbandi path possesses every perfection, and that their state remains hidden from others; and that due to being a friend of God and reaching His presence, their heart is filled with joy; they are secure from all fear, anxiety, and sorrow, and are free from error, experiencing delight (*zevk*) with the joy of encountering God (*liqa*).
