Rahmah / Ananda: Benevolence (Rahmah) . . . The term Rahmah also contains the ideas of Mercy and Beauty, and then that of Love, and coincides in the final analysis with the Ananda of Brahmanism, radiant Beatitude. [GTUFS: HaveCenter, Degrees and Scope of Theism]
Rahmah a term that is most often translated as Clemency implies more profoundly, as does the Sanskrit term Ananda, all the aspects of Harmony:* Goodness, Beauty and Beatitude; and Rahmah is integrated into the Divine Essence itself, inasmuch as it is fundamentally none other than the radiating Infinitude of the Principle; an identity that the Koran expresses by saying: Call upon Allah or call upon Ar-Rahman, to Him belong the most beautiful Names . . . For one cannot appeal to the One without Mercy responding. (* Sat referring to the Absolute, and Chit to the Consciousness that Atma has of its inexhaustible Perfection, hence its Qualities.) [GTUFS: SufismVQ, Hypostatic Dimensions of Unity]
