====== Hunting the Divine Self-Disclosures ======

  * Self-disclosure is the opening of the material and spiritual veils, making the qualities of the Divine Essence directly experienceable. **Hunting the Divine Self-disclosures** means to catch these Divine manifestations, secrets, and gifts with the spiritual heart and subtle senses.

  * “The spirits awakened to the truth, who turn their hearts into bright mirrors shining with Divine Self-disclosures, go **hunting these Self-disclosures** on their prayer rugs.”((M. Fethullah Gülen, //Zamanın Altın Dilimi (Çağ ve Nesil-4)//, İstanbul:  Nil Yayınları, 2011, p. 80.))

  * “... hunting is done in remote areas, without human [[presence|presence]]. Prey will not come to places frequented by people. In this respect, a person who wishes to journey through the immensities of the heart and spirit, and **hunt for the Divine Self-disclosures** that come pouring to those immensities, needs to seek secluded bays. This surely does not mean it is impossible **to hunt the Divine Self-disclosures** in places where others are present. It can even be said there are blessings one gains through congregational worship that it is not possible for a person to obtain on one’s own.”((M. Fethullah Gülen, //Cemre Beklentisi (Kırık Testi-10)//, İstanbul: Nil Yayınları, 2011, p. 133.))

  * “The spirits awakened to the truth or on the way to it are constantly vigilant for **hunting the Divine Self-disclosures**, mysteries, inspirations, and other blessings such as experiences of knowledge of God, intense [[love|love]] for Him, and spiritual delight. As for those unaware of the truth and what is right, who have given in to worldliness, they neither feel the breezes of Divine Self-disclosures nor experience the excitement of pouring an inspirational blessing to the cup of their heart.”((Ibid., pp. 132–133.))

  * “... one manifestation of the Divine Name the All-Living, which is one of the Divine Names that have all-encompassing **manifestations** or one of the six lights of the All-Encompassing Name of God, appeared to my mind from afar in the month of Shawwal while in Eskişehir Prison. It was not recorded at that time; we could not **capture** that sacred bird.”((Bediüzzaman Said Nursi, //The Gleams: Reflections on Qur’anic Wisdom and Spirituality//, tr. Hüseyin Akarsu, New Jersey: Tughra Books, 2013, p. 459.))

“Let me burn, for that state is like water of [[life|life]] for me.

Matter dissolves in the bosom of the spirit

The spirit goes **hunting the Divine Self-disclosures**, ambushing in my heart

The senses attain the horizon of mesmerized vision.”((M. Fethullah Gülen, //Kırık Mızrap//, İstanbul: Nil Yayınları, 2006, p. 299.))
