Shams Tabrizi Quotes

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.

It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only of the first step. The rest will come.

لما أظهرت نفسي انزعجت، لا أستطيع ،لابد لى من أن أعيش هكذا

"بدا وصلك عزيزا, واحسرتاه, إن العمر لا يفي , لابد من دنيا مليئة بالذهب لكي أنثر علي وصلك.
عندنا الله الحي, إلى متى نجعل الله ميتا ؟
"المعنى هو الله" هو عين المعنى الذي قلناه, و عهد الله لا يفسد"

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].

Whatever happens to you...
Don’t fall in despair,

Even if all the doors are closed...
A secret path will be there for you that no one knows,

You can’t see it yet...
But so many paradises are at the end of this path,

Be grateful...
It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want...
Thank before having what you want.

الناس جميعهم مقلدون, فقوم منهم يقلدون الأهواء, و قوم يقلدون الصفاء, و قوم يقلدون المصطفى, و قوم يقلدون الله, و عن الله يروون. و ثمة قوم غير مقلدين أيضا, كما أنهم لا يروون شيئا عن الله , بل يتكلمون عن أنفسهم

A life without love is of no account. Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, eastern or western…divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.

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? A good man complains of no one; he does not look to faults. A life without love is of no account. Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, eastern or western…divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water. 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. 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

الجُبن غذاء كلب الصيد. و هل يأكل الأسد الجُبن؟
يأكل الأسد قلب الصيد و كَبِدَه,

Nothing kills the soul that commands to evil (Nafs al Ammarra) like seeing the beauty of the heart.

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

ملأت قدحا, لا أستطيع الشراب, لا أستطيع الإراقة, قلبي لا يشاء أن أتحرر , أذهب

The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others.
Don’t forgeT that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.

فی‌الجمله تو را یک سخن بگویم؛ این مردمان به نفاق خوش‌دل می‌شوند و به راستی غمگین. با مردمان به نفاق می‌باید زیست، تا در میان ایشان با خوشی باشی. همین که راستی آغاز کردی، به کوه و بیابان برون می‌باید رفت که میان خلق راه نیست
