Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Intellect takes you to the door, but it doesn’t take you into the house.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi The life we live is just a colourful and deposit toy. Some of us take it so seriously and fight and cry for it. Some of us break and throw it. Either we give extreme importance, either not enough. Better to stay far from extremes.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi You can be everything in life but the important thing is to be a good person.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi For 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 TabriziShams Tabrizi The quest for Love changes us. There is no seeker among those who search for Love who has not matured on the way. The moment you start looking for Love, you start to change within and without.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi This 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 TabriziShams Tabrizi While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every decent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi When a sincere woman begins to dance, the seven heavens, the earth, and all creatures begin to dance.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language. Don’t pay so much attention to the words. In love’s country, language doesn’t have its place. Love’s mute.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Whoever lives as he sees fit will not die as he sees fit.
