STAY AT THE DOORSTEP OF YOUR LORD
An intelligent person should stand at the doorstep of his Lord all the time and cling to the robe of His grace when he obeys Him and even when he disobeys Him. He ought to seek His intimacy while being alone in His companionship; hence should he find a barrier making him sense strangeness in his heart while being in His companionship he should endeavour to remove this barrier. Just like one poet said,
Do you feel estranged due to what you have reaped?
Be good, if you wish, and you shall then enjoy intimacy
