Your magnificence has made me a wonder.

Your
charm has taught me the way of love.

Anything born in spring dies in the fall, but love is not

seasonal.

Remember, one can only know what one is capable of

loving.There is no wisdom without love. Unless we
learn to love God's creation, we can neither truly love
nor truly know God.

I am your moon and your moonlight too

I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you.

My Heart is your student, it studies Love.

Once the seed of faith takes root

it cannot be blown away,
even by the strongest wind
Now that's a blessing!

Though we are physically distant to each other,

Soulless, bodyless rays of light both we are;

See Him, see we, which one would you please

O the seeker! For He is me, and I am Him.

I choose to love you in silence, for in silence I find no

rejection.
I choose to love you in loneliness, for in loneliness no
one owns you but me.
I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance
will shield me from pain.
I choose to kiss you in the wind, for the wind is
gentler than my lips.
I choose to hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams,
you have no end.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes.
Because for those who love with heart and soul there
is no such thing as separation.

Neither I am me,
nor you are you,
nor you are me.
Also, I am me,
you are you
and you are me.
We have become one
in such a way,
That I am confused whether
I am you,
or you are me.

I will be waiting here....

For your silence to break,

For your soul to shake,

For your love to wake!

Try not to resist the changes that come your way.

Instead let life live through you. And do not worry
that your life is turning upside down. How do you
know that the side you are used to is better than the
one to come?

I dug into my heart deeper to see who is inside , the

more I dug, the more I lost me.

Open your eyes and look

into the heart of each one.
Find out what is within each one,
for that costly pearl is rarely found.
Love is the Religion and universe is the Book.

I said: what about my eyes?

God said: Keep them on the road.
I said: what about my passion?
God said: Keep it burning.
I said: what about my heart?
God said: Tell me what you hold inside it?
I said: pain and sorrow?
He said: ..stay with it.
The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Why are you knocking at every other door ?

go, knock at the door of your own heart.

Lovely days don't come to you,

you should walk to them.

Its your road, and yours alone.

others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.

I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about

who hears or what they think.

Being a candle is not easy; in order to give light one

must burn first.

Whatever purifies you, is the correct road, I will try

not to define it.

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps

everything out of your house, so that new joy can
find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from
the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves
can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so
that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow.
Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better
things will take their place.

Don't be sad! Because God sends hope in the most

desperate moments.

The universe is a complete unique entity. Everything

and everyone is bound together with some invisible
strings. Do not break anyones heart; do not look
down on weaker than you. Ones sorrow at the other
side of the world can make the entire world suffer;
ones happiness can make the entire world smile.

How will you know your real friends? Pain is as dear

to them as life. A friend is like gold. Trouble is like
fire. Pure gold delights in the fire.

Be generous in your Love.

"A thief entered the house of a Sufi and found
nothing there.
As he was leaving, the Sufi perceived his
disappointment
and threw him the blanket in which he was sleeping,
so that he should not go away empty-handed."
~Saadi Shirazi

You were born with potential. You were born with

goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and
dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born
with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so dont.
You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

Love means
to reach for the sky
and with every breath
to tear a hundred veils.
Love means
to step away from the ego,

to open the eyes

of inner vision
and not to take this world
so seriously.

Whatever happens to you, dont fall in despair. Even

if all the doors are closed, a secret path will be there
for you that no one knows. You cant see it yet but so
many paradises are at the end of this path. Be
grateful! It is easy to thank after obtaining what you
want, thank before having what you want.
Shams Tabrizi

I could spend a lifetime

delighting in the image of the Friend
But once my heart beholds the Friend
then the pain becomes more precious
than a thousand delights...

The truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and

broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and
they looked at it and thought they had the truth.

When Love itself comes to kiss you , don't hold back.

A life without love is a waste. Should I look for

spiritual love, or material, or physical love?, dont
ask yourself this question. Discrimination leads to
discrimination. Love doesnt need any name,
category or definition. Love is a world itself. Either

you are in, at the centereither you are out,

yearning.

Don't look at your form, however ugly or beautiful.

Look at love and at the aim of you quest!

Love is reckless; not reason.

Reason seeks a profit.
Having died of self-interest,
Love risks everything and asks for nothing!

No matter what happens Just keep smiling and lose

yourself in Love.

I Desire you more than food or drink.

My body, my senses, my Mind,
Hunger for your taste.
I can sense your presence in my Heart.
Although you belong to all the world,
I wait in Silent Passion,
For one gesture, one glance from You.

A Lover asked his Beloved,

Do you Love yourself more than you Love me?
Beloved replied:
I have died to myself and I live for you,
Ive disappeared from myself and my attributes,
I am present only for you.
Ive forgotten all my learnings,
But from knowing you I have become a scholar.
I have lost all my strength,

But from your power I am able.

I Love Myself,
I Love You.
I Love You,
I Love Myself.

If you wish to be a mine of jewels, open the deep

ocean within your heart.

I merged so completely with love and was so fused,

that I became love and love became me.

It is pointless trying to know where the way leads.

Think only about your first step. The rest will come...

Ignore the piece of the glass! Focus on the SUN. Sun

is the source of light but pieces only reflects the
light.
You have no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to
bring You. Nothing seemed right. What's the point of
bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to
the Orient. It's no good giving my heart and my soul
because you already have these. So I've brought you
a mirror. Look at yourself and remember me...

Beauty and Love are as body and soul.

Beauty is the mind, LOVE is the diamond.
They have been together since the beginning of time.
Side by side, step by step.

This is a gathering of Lovers. In this gathering

there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant,
no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper
schooling required. There is no master, no disciple.

What forgiveness is?

Sufi replied:
It's the fragrance that flowers give when they are
crushed.

In your light I learn how to love.

In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

If words come out of the heart,

they will enter the heart.

Lovers do not finally meet somewhere. They are in

each other all along.

Silence is the language of God, all else is poor

translation.

To see the Moon that cannot be seen, turn your eyes

inward and look at yourself, in silence.

When your love began to fill up my heart, whatever

else I had was burnt away. Logic & book-learning
tossed on the fire; now I study song & poetry all day.

if you want to win hearts, sow the seeds of Love. If

you want heaven, stop scattering thorns on the road.

Be Silent that heart speaks without tongue or lips.

With every breath

I plant the seeds of devotion I am a farmer of the heart.

Love is neither a tale nor a game.

Love is such a powerful torrent
that no one can stand in front of it.
Love is the flame which, when it blazes,
consumes everything other than the Beloved.

This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a

hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of
life. Finally, to take a step without feet.

Happy is the moment,

When we sit together
With two forms, two faces, yet one soul.
You and I

Reason is powerless in the expression of love.

Love is cure
Love is power
Love is the magic of change
Love is the mirror of divine beauty.

They will ask you what you have produced? Say to

them, except for Love, what else can a Lover
produce?

The happiness of the drop is to die in the river.

Whatever you have in your mind - forget it;

Whatever you have in your hand - give it;
Whatever is to be your fate - face it!

Do you know what you are? You are a manuscript o a

divine letter. You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you. Look inside
yourself; everything that you want, you are already
that

Love brings the dead back to life. Love transforms

the King into a
slave.
Love is the consummation of Gnosis. How could a fool
sit on such a throne?

You are a volume in the divine book

A mirror to the power that created the universe
Whatever you want, ask it of yourself
Whatever youre looking for
can only be found
Inside of you.

Everything is within you. Ask all from yourself.

Your breath touched my soul

and I saw beyond all limits.

Do not look back,

No one knows how the world ever began.
Do not fear the future, Nothing lasts forever.
If you dwell on the past or future,
You will miss the moment.

Last night my teacher taught me the lesson of

Poverty: Having nothing and wanting nothing.

Love is the bridge between you and everything.

My heart is so small, it's almost invisible.

How can You place such big sorrows in it?
"Look," He answered,
"your eyes are even smaller,
yet they behold the world.

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.

The sun never says to the earth,

'You owe me.'
Look what happens with a love like that.
It lights up the whole sky.

Die! Die! Die in this love!

If you die in this love,Your soul will be renewed.
Die! Die! Dont fear the death of that which is known
If you die to the temporal, You will become timeless.

Raise your words, not voice.

It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.

To get closer to Truth and Right, we need a Beautiful

and Soft Heart.

In the sea of love, I melt like salt, Faith, Doubt - they

both dissolve.
A star is opening in my heart, The worlds turn in it.

You are the road of Love And at the end my home.

With every breath I plant the seeds of devotion - I am

a farmer of the Heart.

The chemistry of mind is different from the chemistry

of love. The mind is careful, suspicious, he advances
little by little. He advices Be careful, protect
yourself Whereas love says Let yourself, go! The
mind is strong, never fells down, while love hurts
itself, fells into ruins. But isnt it in ruins that we
mostly find the treasures? A broken heart hides so
many treasures.
~ Shams Tabrizi

If you knew yourself for even one moment, if you

could just glimpse your most beautiful face, maybe
you wouldnt slumber so deeply in that house of clay.
Why not move into your house of joy and shine into
every crevice! For you are the secret Treasure-bearer,
and always have been. Didnt you know?

This is love : to fly toward a secret, to cause a

hundred veils to fall each moment.First to let go of
life . Finally , to take a step without feet.

I am neither of the East nor of the West, no

boundaries exist within my breast.

Ignorance is God's prison; Knowing is God's palace.

Study me as much as you like, you will not know me,

for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me
to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I
see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you
cannot see.

I am smiling at myself today

There's no wish left in this heart
Or perhaps there is no heart left
Free from all desire
I sit quietly like Earth
My silent cry echoes like thunder
Throughout the universe
I am not worried about it
I know it will be heard by no one
Except me.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark
of weakness, but of power. They speak more
eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are
messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable
love.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

Most of conflicts and tensions are due to language.

Dont pay so much attention to the words. In loves
country, language doesnt have its place. Love is
mute.

Close the language-door,

and open the love-window.

The moon wont use the door,

only the window.

Love is not an emotion, it's your very existence.

I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my

whole being.

The inspiration you seek is already within you.

Be silent and listen.

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes,
because for those who love with heart and soul, there
is no separation.

A life without love is of no account. Don't ask yourself

what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or
material, divine or mundane, eastern or western
divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no
labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple.
Love is the water of life. And a lover is a soul of fire!
The universe turns differently when fire loves water.

For a committed heart everything is possible.

I came back to You because I could not find the kind

and decent things I found in You anywhere else.

Stop, open up, surrender the beloved blind silence.

Stay there until you see you're looking at the light
with infinite eyes.

The minute I heard my first love story, I started

looking for you, not knowing how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each
other all along.
