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.

More from Shams 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 Whoever lives as he sees fit will not die as he sees fit.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi We can only learn and advance with contradictions. The faithful inside should meet the doubtful. The doubtful should meet the faithful. Human slowly advances and becomes mature when he accepts his contradictions.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can’t expect from others what you don’t give to yourself.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi You have to live with the people in hypocrisy for them to stay happy with you.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi If you look around, you can find a face of God in each thing, because He is not hidden in a church, in a mosque, or a synagogue, but everywhere. As there is no one who lives after seeing him, there is also no one dying after seeing him. Who finds Him, stays forever with him.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi It is easy to love perfection. The difficulty consists in loving the human with his good and bad. We mostly know as much as we love. Only loving God but not its creatures, you can never really know, neither really love.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Being the companion of the folk of this world is fire. There must be an Abraham if the fire is not going to burn [you].
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi You learn by reading but understand by LOVE.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi The real dirt is not outside, but inside, in our hearts. We can wash all stains with water. The only one we can’t remove is the grudge and the bad intentions sticking to our hearts.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Don’t search for heaven and hell in the future. Both are now present. Whenever we manage to love without expectations, calculations, negotiations, we are indeed in heaven. Whenever we fight, hate, we are in hell.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi 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 TabriziShams Tabrizi When everyone is trying to be something, be nothing. Range with emptiness. Human should be like a pot. As the pot is hold by its emptiness inside, human is hold by the awareness of his nothingness.
