Excerpt taken from Futuh Al-Ghaib By Abdul Qaadir Al-Jilanni and compiled by Yasir Butt:

1. Nothing keeps you away from the favor of Allah and His direct blessing except your reliance on people, and means, and arts and crafts and earnings. Thus people become a barrier for you in getting to the livelihood sanctified by the practice of the Holy Prophet, that is, the TRUE SUNNAH WAY OF earning.
2. Thus so long as you remain with people (expectations in your heart), that is, if you hope for their gifts and favors and ask from them with expectation at their doors, you are associating Allah’s creation with Him. You will accordingly be punished with the deprivation from a livelihood which is sanctioned by the practice of the Holy Prophet, that is, lawful earning of this world or TRUE SUNNAH WAY OF earning.
3. Then, when you have renounced your living with the people and your associating them with your Lord and have recourse to earning and the comfort of living on your earning, and then rely on earning and become content with it and forget the favor of your Lord, you again behave like a polytheist and this polytheism is subtler than the previous one; so Allah will punish you and keep you away from His favor and His direct dealing with you.
4. Then when you have turned away from this position and have thrown away polytheism from your midst and discarded your reliance on your earning, ability and power, you will see God, — that He is the Giver of livelihood and Creator of causes of ease and Giver of strength for earning and Giver of power over everything good and that all livelihood is in His hand. Thus, turn towards Him and throw yourself before Him, the Mighty, the Glorious
