Sincerity (ikhlas) - Shaykh al-Kurdi
Shaykh Muhammad Sa’id al-Kurdi (Allah have mercy on him) said,
“Levels of sincerity (ikhlas) [in spiritual works] are three: high, medium, and low. High is for a servant to do works for Allah alone, out of obedience to His command and in fulfillment of the rights of his own slavehood. Medium is to do works seeking Allah’s reward or to avoid his punishment. Low is for a servant to do works so that Allah may honor him in this world or protect him from its perils [n: e.g. praying (du’a') for such a purpose, though if it is a means to achieve something at either of the previous two levels, it takes their ruling – while all are considered sincerity (ikhlas)]. Anything besides these three is showing off (riya’)"
[Shaykh Nuh Keller, The Shadhili Tariqa; Shaykh al-Kurdi, Risala al-tawhid]

bismillah!
~~ Subhan Allah! ~~
There are three levels of Ikhlas – Sincerity. The first is darajat al aawaam – The level of the common people, - those who ask for earthly desire and for the Hereafter. The second is darajat al khawaas – The level of the special people, - those who ask for heavenly favours and the third is darajat khawaas al khawaas – The level of the elect of the special people - those people whose sole purpose is to be good servants of Allah – Ubudiyyah.
The Mukhlis is the one in whose sight there is always a meeting with his Lord.
