Remove all the walls and curtains so you can get closer and purely love. Have principles but do not use them to exclude or to judge the others. Stay far from idols, specially from those you made from your own principles. Have a powerful faith, but do not play the powerful.
Shams TabriziMost of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don't pay so much attention to the words. In loveโs country, language doesn't have its place. Love's mute.
Shams TabriziThe past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead, time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment.
Shams TabriziWhatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair. Even when all doors remained closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful! It is easy to be thankful when all is well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what he has been given but also for all that he has been denied.
Shams TabriziIt is never late to ask yourself โAm I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself?โ. However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is a chance to reborn. But to reborn into a new life, you have to die before dying.
Shams TabriziThe universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyoneโs heart; do not look down on weaker than you. Oneโs sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; oneโs happiness can make the entire world smile.
