This letter, written to Muhammad Chatri again, mentions the importance of ikhlas.

Thanks be to Allahu ta'ala. Prayers and salam be on His Prophet "sall-Allahu 'alaihi wa sallam'. My son! After passing beyond the grades of jadhba and suluk, it has become clear that the purpose in jadhba and suluk, that is, the purpose of the way of tasawwuf is to reach the grade of ikhlas. To reach the grade of ikhlas, it is necessary to get rid of worshipping the idols inside and outside of man. Ikhlas is one of the three aspects of the Shariat. The Shariat has three parts: 'Ilm (knowledge), 'amal (worship) and ikhlas (doing everything for Allah's sake). As it is seen, tariqat and haqiqat are useful in obtaining ikhlas, the third facet of the Shariat, that is, they are the Shariat's assistants. This is the truth. Unfortunately, not everybody can understand this. Others deceive themselves being content with dreams and fancies. Like children, they waste their time with walnuts. What could such people ever know of the superiority and subtlety of the Shariat? How could they ever know what tariqat and haqiqat are? Thinking of the Shariat as a mere cover, like the shell of a walnut, they say that the walnut's kernel is the tariqat and haqiqat. Being unable to see the essence of the matter, they have their attentions distracted by the words which they heard that were memorized about love and dhawq. They ardently desire to attain hals and grades. They think of these as something. May Allahu ta'ala bless them with seeing the right way. May He give safety to us, to you and to all His devoted slaves! Amin.
