In this passage from 'The Conference of the Birds', Rabia al-Adawiyya defines the state of 'istighraq' (total absorption) through her inability to perceive physical pain or engage in sectarian discourse. She posits that when the soul is 'lost in God' (gum dar Haqq), it transcends the dualistic capacity to judge the 'acceptance or rejection' (rad-o-qabul) of others. This teaching establishes spiritual absorption as a prerequisite for moving beyond the 'fanaticism' (ta'assob) that characterizes external religious disputes, suggesting that true spiritual station precludes preoccupation with the faults or statuses of created beings.
