"The Four Salams" – The Four "Salams" ("Selams") form the main part of the ceremony and are distinct musical movements. According to Dr. Celalettin Celebi and Shaikh Kabir Helminski, ‘The first "selam" represents the human being’s birth to Truth through knowledge, and through his awareness and submission to God. The second "selam" represents the rapture of the human being while witnessing the splendour of creation and the omnipotence of God. The third "selam" is the transformation of rapture into love, the sacrifice of mind to love. It is annihilation of the self within the Loved One. It is complete submission. It is unity... The fourth "selam" is the "semazen’s" coming to terms with his destiny. With the "semazen’s" whole self, with all his mind and heart, he is a servant of God, of God’s books and His prophets – of all Creation.’
