LIGHT ME UP LITERATURE

“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 Tabrizi

Persian Poet

“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?”

Shams Of Tabriz

Persian Poet

“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.”

Shams Of Tabriz

Persian Poet

"A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.

A day of silence can help you listen to the soul play its marvelous lute and drum.

Is not most talking a crazed defense

of a crumbling fort?

I thought we came here

to surrender to silence."

Shams of Tabrizi
