The happiness of the drop is to die in the river. - Al-Ghazali

Similarly, whoever worships God-great and glorious-for the sake of paradise has made God-may He be praised and exalted-a means to seeking it rather than making Him the goal of his quest. The sign that something is a means is that no one seeks it if its benefit can be attained without it, so that if one's intentions could be achieved without gold, gold would neither be loved nor sought, for what is really loved is the benefit sought and not the gold. So if paradise were attainable to one worshipping God for its sake, without worshipping God-great and glorious, he would not worship God. Therefore, what he is seeking and what he loves is paradise, and nothing else. Whoever has no love but God-great and glorious-and seeks nothing except Him, and whose gain lies in delight at meeting God most high, being near to Him, and in accompanying the heavenly host who are close to His presence; he is the one who can be said to worship God-great and glorious-for the sake of God; not in the sense that he is not seeking gain, but in the sense that God-great and glorious-is Himself his gain, and there is no gain beyond Him.

أيها الولد ..
من جملة ما نصح به رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أمّته أنه قال من علامات إعراض الله تعالى عن العبد اشتغاله بما لا يعنيه ،وأن امرء ذهبت ساعة من عمره في غير ما خُلِقَ له لجدير أن يطول عليه حسرته إلى يوم القيامة ،ومن جاوز الأربعين ولم يغلب عليه خيره شره فليتجهن إلى النار . وفي هذه النصيحة كفاية لأهل العلم .
أيها الولد .. النصيحة سهلة والمشكل قبولها .

فويل للجاهل حيث لم يتعلم مرةً واحدة،
وويل للعالم حيث لم يَعمل بما علِم ألفَ مرة.
