Noor enters into heart making an opening spiritual heart.

Spiritual delight is referred as eating and drinking from allah.
Its faiz/sadqa of prophet that his followers are enjoying spiritual delights not by our efforts .
While doing tawaaf feel you are watching allah (rab e kaaba)
We are slaves/bande of allah and when he loves his slaves he gives them spiritual delights by giving eyes to heart (baseerat) ie physical hearts(basarat) are converted to spiritual heart ( tasawur /concentration is very sharp /perfection)
When I sit , I sit with allah –this should be the feeling.
Islam deals with shariat+Iman deals with tariqat +Ihsan deals with haqiqat= deen e kull (haqiqate tasawuf)
Arif/Haqiqate iman = heart is free from world +opposing/islah e nafs + zuhd/seclusion + controlling senses

More haya/modesty of allah =more ijtiba/high reward from allah
More muraqaba of allah =more mushahada of allah
More zikr/remembrance of allah =more sukoon/peace from allah
Free from duniya =wafa
