So the stations (maqamat) are the beginning?

They show you the way to walk, but you need the key. When you put the key in the door, then you begin to walk and you begin to see the secrets of what you are and, after that, what Allah is. Then you see that there is no difference between and you Him. Allah says, “Know yourself!” This is from the secret. I give you all the stations of the Path of the self (an-nafs), the heart, the soul and the secret. In them lies the key to the knowledge of your self and of God. All the stations are the key to the knowledge of the Unity which is the door. When you put the key in the door, you need to know how to use the key and to turn it to open the door. I will teach you how to do this.

Allah
