Sufi Quotes

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, auliya). 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.”

Sufi Quotes

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.”

Sufi Quotes

Shams praises Rumi. But if Rumi illumines the common people, that is only because he reflects the light which Shams shines upon him: “Well, how could I offend you? I am fearful to kiss your feet, feast my lashes scratch them. Union with you is mast Precious. Alas that life will not last. I wish I had a world full of gold to bestow upon union with you.”

Sufi Quotes

Shams claims for himself the status of a Owaysi Sufi, one whose spiritual illumination comes not though a teacher, but directly from God: “Everyone talks of his own Shaikh. In a dream the Prophet, (PBUH) gave me a ceremonial cloak (khirqa), not the kind that will wear out and rip after a few days and fall in the bath house and be washed of dirt, but a cloak of converse (sohbat), not a converse that can be comprehended, but a converse that is not of yesterday, today or tomorrow.

Sufi Quotes

Shams is far less concerned with ritual and jurisprudence than with his mystical intimations. He says: “Your preoccupation should be to know “Who am I, what is my essence? And to what end have I come here and where am I headed and what are my roots and what am I doing this very hour and what is my focus?”
