A man asked al-Husayn:
- What do I have to do to be closer to God?
- Tell Him a secret. And don’t let anyone in the world know what the secret is. In that way a bond of trust will be established with the Divine.
But the man went on:
- Only that will help me get closer?
- Establish a firm relation at the start of your spiritual journey. Pray. It’s also important to have will power. And if it’s possible to enjoy a little solitude, all the better.
- But how do I reach the ideal stage of communicating with Him?
- I have already explained all that you need - said al-Husayn. - But you want to reach the end before you even begin, and that is just not possible.
