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 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.
