You reach Him only when He wants you so!

One of the greatest Shaykh's of the tariqa, Ibn 'Ata illah al-Iskandari (d.1309) says:

"If you were to only reach Allah after the end of all your bad points and the erasure of all your thinking pretensions you would never reach Him. Rather, when He wants you to reach Him, He covers your trait with His trait, your worthlessness with His worth."
