If the human being is a proud and honorable creature, he shouldn't forget to act that way, even if he falls, even if the whole world is against him, even if he ends as a slave.
Shams TabriziThis 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.
Shams TabriziFor anew Self to be born, hardship is necessary. Just as clay needs to go through intense heat to become strong, Love can only be perfected in pain.
Shams TabriziThe chemistry of mind is different from the chemistry of love. The mind is careful, suspicious, he advances little by little. He advises โBe careful, protect yourselfโ Whereas love says โLet yourself, go!โ The mind is strong, never falls down, while love hurts itself, falls into ruins. But isnโt it in ruins that we mostly find the treasures? A broken heart hides so many treasures.
