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.'

More quotes by Shams Tabrizi
Whoever lives as he sees fit will not die as he sees fit.
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
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
A good man complains of no one he does not look to faults.
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 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
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
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
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
Nothing kills the soul that commands to evil (Nafs al Ammarra) like seeing the beauty of the heart.
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
Be sure that someday you'll praise and thank God for your unanswered prayers that once you had wept for them.
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
It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
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
You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
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
Do not worry about tricks and cheaters. If some people are trying to trap and hurt you, Allah is also trapping them. Hole diggers will always fall in their holes. No bad remains unpunished, and no good remains without being awarded, so have faith in justice and let the rest be.
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
