From Shaykh Ibn 'Ata Illah, in his book, "Kitab al-Hikam" (Book of Wisdom). This is the beloved that is mostly responsible for passing on in written form the teachings of our beloved Guide, Shaykh Abu-l-Hasan ash Shadhdhuli, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon them both..Rest yourself from self-direction.For what Someone Else has carried out on your behalf you must not yourself undertake to do.Your striving for what has already been guaranteed to you and your remissness in what is demanded of you are signs of the blurring of your intellect If He opens a door for you, thereby making Himself known, pay no heed if your deeds do not measure up to this. For, in truth, He has not opened it for you but out of desire to make Himself known to you. Do you not know that He is the One who presented the knowledge of Himself to you,whereas you are the one who presented Him with deeds?What a difference between what He brings to you and what you present to Him! He who illuminated in the beginning is illumined at the end
