Additional quotes by 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.

When everyone is trying to be something, be nothing. Range with emptiness. Human should be like a pot. As the pot is hold by its emptiness inside, human is hold by the awareness of his nothingness.

God commands us
to pray in the direction of the Ka‘ba
Imagine this:
People all over the world are gathered making a circle around the Ka‘ba
They bow down in prayer
Now
imagine:
Remove the Ka‘ba
from the middle of the circle
Are they not prostrating toward one another?
They are bowing down toward each other’s hearts
