Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Love is a travel. All travelers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi If parts are always changing, the whole remains the same. A dead good man is replaced by a good man, a dead bad man is replaced by a bad man. While the whole remains the same, every day is different.

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 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.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi If you are insulted, if you are accused, if they gossip about you, don’t say anything bad. Don’t be the one who sees the shame, be the one who corrects it.
Shams TabriziShams Tabrizi Be grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you want, thank before having what you want.
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.
