Inspired Being – Of hell, heaven and choice

Of hell and heaven

“إن جهنم تقبع هنا والآن، وكذلك #الجنة. توقفوا عن التفكير بجهنم بخوف أو الحلم بالجنة، لأنهما موجودتان في هذه اللحظة بالذات. ففي كل مرة نحب، نصعد إلى #السماء. وفي كل مرة نكره، أو نحسد، أو نحارب أحدًا، فإننا نسقط مباشرة في نار #جهنم” – #شمس التبريزي

” #Hell is the here and now. So is #heaven. Quit worrying about hell or dreaming about heaven, as they are both present in this very moment. Every time we fall in #Love, we ascend to heaven. Every time we #hate, #envy or #fight someone, we tumble straight into the fires of hell” – #Shams of Tabriz

You get rewarded (or punished) by what you do, not for what you do. The #choice is yours!. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – On your INSIDE journey

On your #INSIDE #journey

“لا يوجد فرق بين الشرق والغرب، والجنوب والشمال. فمهما كانت وجهتك، يجب أن تجعل الرحلة التي تقوم به رحلة في داخلك. فإذا سافرت في داخلك ، فسيكون بوسعك اجتياز #العالم الشاسع وما وراءه” – #شمس التبريزي

“East, West, South or North makes little difference. No matter what your destination, just be sure to make every journey, a journey within. If you #travel within, you’ll travel the whole wide #world and beyond.” – #Shams of Tabriz

It is not traveling somewhere that will make your #life better; it is traveling inside yourself!. That #knowledge (coupled with acceptance ) will #change your whole life!. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Of hearts and words

Of #hearts and #words

“تنبع معظم مشاكل العالم من أخطاء لغوية ومن سوء فهم بسيط، لا تأخذ #الكلمات بمعناها الظاهري مطلقًا. وعندما تلج دائرة #الحب، تكون اللغة اللغة التي نعرفها قد عفى عليها #الزمن، فالشيء الذي لا يمكن التعبير عنه بكلمات، لا يمكن إدراكه إلا بالصمت”. – #شمس التبريزي

” Most of the problems of the #world stem from linguistic mistakes and simple misunderstandings. Don’t ever take words at face value. When you step into the zone of #love, #language as we know it becomes #obsolete. That which cannot be put into words can only be grasped through #silence” – #Shams of Tabriz

Words are one of the lowest forms of communocation. Use your #heart; not your #mind, if you want to #understand !. #Monir El Shazly

Inspired Being – Of detachment and opposites

Of #detachment and opposites

“When some people see some things as #beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When some see some things as #good,
other things become #bad.

#Being and non-being complement each other.
#Difficult and #easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

Therefore the #Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and he lets them come;
things disappear and he lets them go.
He has but doesn’t possess,
acts but doesn’t expect.
When his work is done, he frees his mind from it.
That is why it lasts forever. ” – #Lau_Tzu ( #Tao te Ching)

#Detach, and enjoy #life as it is!. #Monir El Shazly

“The path to the #Truth is a labor of the #heart, not of the #mind. Make your heart your primary guide, not your mind. Knowing your true self will lead you to the knowledge of God” – Shams of Tabriz

Listen to you heart… it is the #messenger of God!. #Monir El Shazly
