“What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. Impatience means to be short sighted as to not be able to see the outcome. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full.” KnowsLooksMeanDoeRunningAbleNightNeededLoversMoonRoseDawnOutcomesImpatienceShort SightedPatience And LoveCrescentPatience LoveCrescent Moon Author:Shams 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.” WorldWayPersonsDoeWholeBornThis WorldRemainsDecentThievesReplacedPassing Away Author:Shams Tabrizi

“The past is an interpretation. The future is on illusion. The world does not move through time as if it were a straight line, proceeding from the past to the future. Instead, time moves through and within us, in endless spirals. Eternity does not mean infinite time, but simply timelessness. If you want to experience eternal illumination, put the past and the future out of your mind and remain within the present moment.” IfsWorldWantMindMeanDoeMomentsPastMovingLinesEternalIllusionEternityInfiniteEndlessPresent MomentInterpretationIlluminationStraight LinesSpiralsProceedingRough TimesTimelessnessInfinite Time Author:Shams Tabrizi
