Shams Tabrizi Quotes

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

إن لى من العمر تلك الساعة التى آتي فيها إلى جناب مولانا الرومى

When I was a child, I saw God,

There are more fake guides, teachers in the world than stars. The real guide is the one who makes you see your inner beauty, not the one who wants to be admired and followed.

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

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.

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

أيها الأحبة ،لدى رفيق رائع،لدى مؤنس رائع، كان رجلا عجيبا،إنه محيي الدين بن عربي ، أما في المتابعة فلم يكن وفق الأصول،لم يكن لديه عين المتابعة ،هكذا كان. استفدت منه استفادة علمية و روحية كبيرة،كان دائما يقول أخطأ فلان،و بعدئذ كنت أشاهد أنه هو نفسه يخطئ،و مرات كثيرة كنت اذكر له أخطاءه،محيي الدين بن عربي ،العارف الكبير القليل النظير -أي نادر الشبه- يضطر إلى أن يطرق و يقول : أي بنى ،أتجلد بالسوط ؟

You will learn by reading, but you will understand with love.

قسما بالله إن معرفة هؤلاء القوم أصعب من معرفة الحق !

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.

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.

كان بعضهم كاتبا للوحى ، و بعضهم محلا للوحى ،فاسعوا إلى أن تكونوا الاثنين معا،كتابا للوحى و محلا للوحى
