hikma 4 and 5

I am here. It took me a while to grasp the reality of it. It still seems surreal when I think of it. The place I've been longing to be in for the last few years. The way I could previously only dream of spending my days and nights, is now a reality. The outwards may have worked out, but the inner state; has it followed suite? Will it in the next couple of months? Only Allah knows. "Hikma #4: Relieve yourself of planning: What Another has already done for you do not do yourself. Planning is blameworthy when it concerns the warid or that which is from Allah, such as mystical experiences, spiritual stations, and tawfiq or “divinely given success” in anything, worldly or unworldly. Abul Hasan al-Shadhili once said: Trust in God is an exacting spiritual perspective. Without it, there may be false confidence in one’s own striving, while with it, human weakness may try to excuse its own fecklessness, as Ibn ‘Ata' Illah apprises travellers by saying: Hikma #5: Your striving for what is ensured to you and neglect of what is sought from you show the blindness of your spiritual insight. To rely on one’s own efforts to bring about what Allah has already decided is “your striving for what is ensured to you,” while not to change oneself is the “neglect of what is sought from you.” Both are blindness in the way of wilaya.
