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.

More quotes by Shams Tabrizi
When you oppose the shaykh, it's like the slave who kills himself over a quarrel with his master. 'Hey, why are you killing yourself over a quarrel?' He says, 'So my master will suffer loss.'
Shams Tabrizi
Love is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.
Shams Tabrizi
It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
Shams Tabrizi
This world is like a mountain. Your echo depends on you. If you scream good things, the world will give it back. If you scream bad things, the world will give it back. Even if someone says badly about you, speak well about him. Change your heart to change the world.
Shams Tabrizi
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
The past is a fog on our minds. The future? A complete dream. We can't neither guess the future, neither change the past.
Shams Tabrizi
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
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.
Shams Tabrizi
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.
Shams Tabrizi
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.
Shams Tabrizi
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.
Shams Tabrizi
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?
Shams Tabrizi
You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover.
Shams Tabrizi
The salat can be made up for, but there is no making up for false show or outward worship without presence.
Shams Tabrizi
Whoever lives as he sees fit will not die as he sees fit.
Shams Tabrizi
To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.
Shams Tabrizi
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.
Shams Tabrizi
You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
Shams Tabrizi
If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can't expect from others what you don't give to yourself.
Shams Tabrizi
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].
