Surrendering is not a weakness. At the contrary it is strength. The surrender stops living in boiling water and starts living in a secure place.

More from Shams 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.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi The words we use for the Creator are a reflect of ourselves. If we think of God as fear and shame, we are scared and have something to be ashamed of … But if we see love, compassion and kindness, it is because we possess these qualities.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi 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 TabriziShams Tabrizi To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a beautiful and soft heart.
Shams TabriziShams 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 TabriziShams Tabrizi The whole universe is sum up in the Human Being. Devil is not a monster waiting to trap us, He is a voice inside. Look for Your Devil in Yourself, not in the Others. Don’t forget that the one who knows his Devil, knows his God.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for Him: in the heart of a true lover.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi There may be one fault in a man that conceals a thousand qualities, or one excellence that conceals a thousand faults. The little indicates much.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi There are more fake guides, teachers in the world than stars. The real guide is the one who makes you see your inner beauty, not the one who wants to be admired and followed.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi When you oppose the shaykh, it’s like the slave who kills himself over a quarrel with his master. ‘Hey, why are you killing yourself over a quarrel?’ He says, ‘So my master will suffer loss.’
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi When everyone is trying to be something, be nothing. Range with emptiness.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi A good man complains of no one; he does not look to faults.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi The path to the Truth is a labour of the heart, not of the head. Make your heart your primary guide! Not your mind. Meet, challenge and ultimately prevail over your nafs with your heart. Knowing your ego will lead you to the knowledge of God.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi It is pointless trying to know where the way leads. Think only about your first step, the rest will come.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything and everyone is bound together with some invisible strings. Do not break anyone’s heart; do not look down on weaker than you. One’s sorrow at the other side of the world can make the entire world suffer; one’s happiness can make the entire world smile.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Instead of resisting to changes, surrender. Let life be with you, not against you. If you think ‘My life will be upside down’ don’t worry. How do you know down is not better than upside?
