" "There are more fake gurus and false teachers in this world than the number of stars in the visible universe. Don’t confuse power-driven, self-centered people with true mentors. A genuine spiritual master will not direct your attention to himself or herself and will not expect absolute obedience or utter admiration from you, but instead will help you to appreciate and admire your inner self. True mentors are as transparent as glass. They let the Light of God pass through them.” - Shams Tabrizi

About Shams Tabrizi
Shams-e-Tabrīzī (or Shams al-Din Mohammad, literally: Sun of Islam; 1185–1248) was a Nizari Ismaili Iranian Sufi mystic, born in the city of Tabriz in Iranian Azerbaijan, who is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi's poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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 ؟

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.
