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.
Shams TabriziIf you want to change the way others treat you, you should first change the way you treat yourself. Unless you learn to love yourself, fully and sincerely, there is no way you can be loved. Once you achieve that stage, however, be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses.
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.
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.
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 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.
