Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
Shariah refers to the laws of Islam which are primarily based on the Quran and Hadith. 
Ma’rifat means the recognition and consciousness of Allah Taala. If a person is conscious of Allah Taala, he will abide by the laws of Shariah.
One can strengthen his ma’rifat through tazkiyah, that is, purifying ones soul from evils. To stay in the company of a pious person is an effective way of gaining Ma’rifat of Allah Taala.
