If a person claims that he really loves someone, evidence is asked from him. And that evidence is the giving away of possessions, the granting of favors. Just as when Mevlana claimed that he loved me, when I came he granted me thousands of favors and protected me. I regard these all as a grace from God.
Shams TabriziInstead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think โMy life will be upside downโ donโt worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?
Shams Tabrizi'Alms in secret extinguish the wrath of the Lord' means you are so immersed in sincerity and in preserving that sincerity that you have no pleasure in giving alms.
Shams TabriziMost of the problems of the world stems from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Donโt ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of love, language as we know it becomes obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through silence.
