Shams-i-Tabrīzī (Persian: شمس تبریزی) or 'Shams al-Din Mohammad' (1185–1248) was a Persian poet and is credited as the spiritual instructor of Mewlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi and is referenced with great reverence in Rumi’s poetic collection, in particular Diwan-i Shams-i Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz). Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before fleeing for Damascus. The tomb of Shams-i Tabrīzī was recently nominated to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I don't know how people read books
this one is to be savored
to be tasted little by little
lest you burn your self
this one sinks in
or is to sunk in
swim, and wade through
the endless channels
of life
and its many
manifestations
regurgitations

I love this book, especially because I consider Shams Tabrizi as my guru. It's amazing to learn from him. Even after hundreds of years, his words still reached me perfectly.

Compilation must have taken lot of effort, but there is little context available in most of the texts presented which can easily lead to major misinterpretations. Great read for some one who already knows a lot about Islamic Spirituality. Not at all recommended for a beginner on the path

This is not an easy read for me. I picked this book an year back and 70% of it had gone above my head.I might not have understood it but it’s still close to my heart. A mere sight of this book makes me feel calm.
