Thoughts are the seeds; they grow to words and fruit in actions with countless seeds same as the first seed. Compassion is the best seed to plant in each moment. This is how selfless service, caring and love is the Art of living. Mothers, the first companions are the first artists. -By Yazdan Raees @ Spice Market | Istanbul - Turkey

 "He who has faith will never get lost, my little angel. He who is at peace won't lost his way." Favorite Quotes from Bab 'Aziz. -By Soheyla Parviz @ Goa - India
The people of this world are like the three butterflies in front of a candle's flame. The first one went closer and said: I know about love. The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and said: I know how love's fire can burn. The third one threw himself into the heart of the flame and was consumed. He alone knows what true love is. Favorite Quotes from Bab 'Aziz. -By Soheyla Parviz @ Arambol Beach | Goa - India
Rumi says, "All is the beloved and lover is the curtain, alive is the beloved and lifeless the lover." Life has a secret and that can be revealed by becoming aware of the continuous cycle of birth and death in each phenomenon in the nature, in and around you. -By Soheyla Parviz @ Cherai Beach | Kerala - India
An aware and balanced mind, a pure mind is required to walk on the path. To be able to go deep you need to practice within the framework of the body that is the inner world but the result can be seen in the parallel worlds: outer world around you and the metaphysic world after death. By Soheyla Parviz @ Arambol Beach | Goa - India

By Soheyla Parviz @ North of Iran
Watch for the evidences of transformation in the nature, in you and around you. You need to experience it by yourself. "Do not accept it because any book, anybody or any teacher said so. Develop your own wisdom and this only takes you to the final goal of full liberation. Be happy.. be peaceful.. be liberated.." S.N.Goenka. -By Soheyla Parviz @ Mysore | Karnataka - India
Everything in you and around is so impermanent and constantly changing. Arising, passing away, law of nature is such. Moment to moment becoming aware of now, experience this truth within and develop your own wisdom. -By Yazdan Raees @ Peace Pagoda | Pokhara - Nepal
Wise knows that everything is getting done by the nature; he becomes empty from himself so that the truth pours into him. He compassionately loves and selflessly serves and cares. He sees the light in every particle and keeps on sweeping the mirror within so that the light reflects. To become everything he becomes nothing. -By Yazdan Raees @ Korean Monastery | Lumbini - Nepal
This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness, And who knows the path of peace: Let them be able and upright, Straightforward and gentle in speech. Humble and not conceited, Contented and easily satisfied. Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways. Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful, Not proud and demanding in nature. Let them not do the slightest thing That the wise would later reprove. Wishing: In gladness and in saftey, May all beings be at ease. Whatever living beings there may be; Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none, The great or the mighty, medium, short or small, The seen and the unseen, Those living near and far away, Those born and to-be-born, May all beings be at ease! Let none deceive another, Or despise any being in any state. Let none through anger or ill-will Wish harm upon another. Even as a mother protects with her life Her child, her only child, So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings: Radiating kindness over the entire world Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will. Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down Free from drowsiness, One should sustain this recollection. This is said to be the sublime abiding. By not holding to fixed views, The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision, Being freed from all sense desires, Is not born again into this world.

Translated by Yazdan Raees & Erin Airout Show me your face because seeing a flower garden is my desire Open your lips because lots of sugar is my desire The sun of goodness, come out of the clouds Because that illuminated, shinning face is my desire I heard from the air the sound of drums I came back because meeting the king is my desire You told me don’t bother me with your cuteness, go away The way you told me that I should not bother you is my desire And like that time that you told me go away, the king is not home That manner and contention of the gatekeeper is my desire In whosoever hands it resides, it remains without value in goodness The jewel and the mine of sweetness is my desire The bread and water of this mundane wheel, like a flood, is unfaithful I am the fish I am the whale, the sea of Oman is my desire Like Yaghob (Jacob), I am shouting “Vaa Asfehaa!” out of grief Seeing my son, Yousef of Kanaan is my desire I swear to god that without you this city becomes my prison Leaving everything behind, wandering in the mountains and the desert is my desire From these weak-rooted companions my heart is broken The lion of the god and “Rostam e Dastaan” is my desire My soul became tired of Pharoah and his cruelty The light of the face of Moses son of Emran is my desire From these complaining crying people I am tired That “hawy and hui” and the shouting of the drunks is my desire I have more to say that a nightingale but because of the jealousy of the public There is a seal on my mouth and shouting is my desire Last night the master with the light was roaming around the town Saying “I am tiered of demons and angels, human is my desire They said “You cannot find, we have already searched everywhere The one that cannot be found is the one I desire Although I am poor I don’t accept any agate because that rare invaluable agate is my desire hidden from the eyes but everything that can be seen comes from it that visible art of the hidden one is my desire my destiny has overcome each and every desire and craving from material, from space, towards the pillar is my desire my ears heard the story of devotion and became drunk the kind of eyes that can see the face of fate and devotion is my desire in one hand, a cup of wine, in the other the hair of the beloved dancing like this in the center of circle is my desire I am the lover of love and my love is for the lover Those blessings, the scars of the merciful is my desire The rest of this poem the subtle player Imagine it like this because like this is my desire Show your face Shams, the pride of Tabriz from the East I am the bird Hod Hod, presence of Solomon is my desire دیوان شمس تبریزی بنمای رخ که باغ و گلستانم آرزوست بگشای لب که قند فراوانم آرزوست ای آفتاب حسن برون آ دمی ز ابر کان چهره مشعشع تابانم آرزوست بشنیدم از هوای تو آواز طبل باز باز آمدم که ساعد سلطانم آرزوست گفتی ز ناز بیش مرنجان مرا برو آن گفتنت که بیش مرنجانم آرزوست وان دفع گفتنت که برو شه به خانه نیست وان ناز و باز و تندی دربانم آرزوست در دست هر کی هست ز خوبی قراضههاست آن معدن ملاحت و آن کانم آرزوست این نان و آب چرخ چو سیلست بیوفا من ماهیم نهنگم عمانم آرزوست یعقوب وار وااسفاها همیزنم دیدار خوب یوسف کنعانم آرزوست والله که شهر بیتو مرا حبس میشود آوارگی و کوه و بیابانم آرزوست زین همرهان سست عناصر دلم گرفت شیر خدا و رستم دستانم آرزوست جانم ملول گشت ز فرعون و ظلم او آن نور روی موسی عمرانم آرزوست زین خلق پرشکایت گریان شدم ملول آنهای هوی و نعره مستانم آرزوست گویاترم ز بلبل اما ز رشک عام مهرست بر دهانم و افغانم آرزوست دی شیخ با چراغ همیگشت گرد شهر کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست گفتند یافت مینشود جستهایم ما گفت آن که یافت مینشود آنم آرزوست هر چند مفلسم نپذیرم عقیق خرد کان عقیق نادر ارزانم آرزوست پنهان ز دیدهها و همه دیدهها از اوست آن آشکار صنعت پنهانم آرزوست خود کار من گذشت ز هر آرزو و آز از کان و از مکان پی ارکانم آرزوست گوشم شنید قصه ایمان و مست شد کو قسم چشم صورت ایمانم آرزوست یک دست جام باده و یک دست جعد یار رقصی چنین میانه میدانم آرزوست من هم رباب عشقم و عشقم ربابیست وان لطفهای زخمه رحمانم آرزوست باقی این غزل را ای مطرب ظریف زین سان همیشمار که زین سانم آرزوست بنمای شمس مفخر تبریز رو ز شرق من هدهدم حضور سلیمانم آرزوست مولانا جلالالدین محمد بلخی |
