State and Station

State is a gift of personality and ability arrived at without practice and as such can be lost or taken away by circumstances and people.

Station however is achieved by arduous work and study and is not easily lost. From Early Islamic Mysticism, Sells (trans.), Paulist Press, 1996, p.102
