Quote

If you are insulted, if you are accused, if they gossip about you, don't say anything bad. Don't be the one who sees the shame, be the one who corrects it.

To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.

Image
For anew Self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.

Image
Wherever you go, east, west, north or south, think of it as a journey into yourself! The one who travels into itself travels the world.

Image
Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?

You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.

Image
Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.

Love is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.

Being the companion of the folk of this world is fire. There must be an Abraham if the fire is not going to burn [you].

Image
A life without love is a waste. 'Should I look for spiritual love, or material, or physical love?', don't ask yourself this question. Discrimination leads to discrimination. Love doesn't need any name, category or definition. Love is a world itself. Either you are in, at the center... either you are out, yearning.

We can only learn and advance with contradictions. The faithful inside should meet the doubtful. The doubtful should meet the faithful. Human slowly advances and becomes mature when he accepts his contradictions.

It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.

Image
Remove all the walls and curtains so you can get closer and purely love. Have principles but do not use them to exclude or to judge the others. Stay far from idols, specially from those you made from your own principles. Have a powerful faith, but do not play the powerful.

The real dirt is not outside, but inside, in our hearts. We can wash all stains with water. The only one we can't remove is the grudge and the bad intentions sticking to our hearts.
Shams Tabrizi
Image
The words we use for the Creator are a reflect of ourselves. If we think of God as fear and shame, we are scared and have something to be ashamed of ... But if we see love, compassion and kindness, it is because we possess these qualities.

Image
Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don't pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn't have its place. Love's mute.
Shams Tabrizi
Image
The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyone’s heart do not look down on weaker than you. One’s sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer one’s happiness can make the entire world smile.

Don't search for heaven and hell in the future. Both are now present. Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven. Whenever we fight, hate, we are in hell.
Shams Tabrizi
Image
The past is a fog on our minds. The future? A complete dream. We can't neither guess the future, neither change the past.

The salat can be made up for, but there is no making up for false show or outward worship without presence.

While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes.
