خدا کے بندوں کا رقص نازک اور لطیف ہوتا ہے، وہ ایسا ہوتا ہے کہ مانو پانی پر کسی درخت کی پتی بہہ رہی ہو، وہ باہر سے دیکھنے پر تو تنکے برابر دکھائی دیتا ہے لیکن وہ اندر سے پہاڑ جیسا ہوتا ہے۔

شمس - رومی کی تعریف کرتے ہیں لیکن اگر رومی عام لوگوں کو منور کرتے ہیں تو اس کی وجہ صرف یہ ہے کہ وہ اسی نور کا انعکاس ہیں جو شمس ان پر ڈالتے ہیں، رومی کہتے ہیں کہ

’’بھلا میں آپ کی دل آزاری کیسے کر سکتا ہوں؟ مجھے تو آپ کے قدم چومنے سے بھی خوف آتا ہے، میری آنکھوں کی پلکیں اس لائق ہیں کہ انہیں آپ کے قدموں سے رگڑ کر نثار کر دوں، آپ کے ساتھ وصال نہایت قیمتی نعمت ہے، افسوس کہ زندگی ہمیشہ باقی نہیں رہے گی، کاش میرے پاس سونے سے بھری ہوئی ایک پوری دنیا ہوتی تاکہ میں اسے آپ کے ساتھ وصال کے بدلے نثار کر دیتا۔

Shams tells Rumi that he must practice mysticism, not just read about it. Eventually Rumi turns away from his book learning.

Shams desires to find the companionship of a true saint: “I implored God to allow me to mix with and be a companion with his friends (Saints). I had a dream and was told, “We will make you a companion of a saint.” I asked, “Where is the saint?” The next night I was told in a dream, “He is in Anatolia (Rum).” After some while I had another dream and was told, “It’s not yet time. All things come in the fullness of time.”

Shams is “The Lord of the lord of the lords of truth” and “the chief of the lord of lords.” (Rumi)

Shams Tabrezi discuses on the different aspects of Islamic mysticism as fellows: Blessing of God: “Blessing is excess, so to speak, an excess of everything. Don’t be content with being a Faqih, say I want more-more than being a Sufi, more than being a mystic -more than each thing that comes before you.”
