The spiritual ascent at this stage is said to be billāh, i.e., with the Power of God and His Will and Strength. His realisation of the cosmic dimension and of the degrees of being is termed as having the vision of the multiplicity in oneness and oness in multiplicity (shuhūd al-kathrah fi al-wahdah and shuhūd al-wahdah fi al-kathrah). What is meant by the assertion of shuhūd al-kathrah fi al-wahdah is that the soul realise by pure intellectual vision that all the created order is in the Command of Allah the One, Who possesses the Attribute of wahdāniyyah. What is meant by the shuhůd al-wahdah fi al-kathrah is that the soul realise pure intellectual vision of Allah the One Who holds the Command in all the created order and in all the degrees of being; this world being mysteriously 'plunged' in Him. The centre of consciousness connected with this degree of spiritual realisationvis called the akhfā. The relation of the akhfā to the khāfi is as the relation of the spirit to the body. At this stage, the soul is in the stage of subsistence in God.
