Ibn'Ata'Illah said (May God be well pleased with him):
One of the signs of relying on one's own deeds is the loss of hope when downfall occurs.Commentary:
One should be detached towards one's actions, not attached to their positive or negative fruits. We must rely on Divinity, not on our own actions and deeds. According to one of the commentators, the person who relies on God suffers no diminution of hope when he falls into disobedience nor does his hope increase when he performs a virtuous deed.
