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

More quotes by Shams Tabrizi
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
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
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.
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
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
To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.
Shams Tabrizi
Nothing kills the soul that commands to evil (Nafs al Ammarra) like seeing the beauty of the heart.
Shams Tabrizi
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.
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
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.
Shams Tabrizi
It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
Shams Tabrizi
You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
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
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].
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
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.
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
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
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
