Hidden Teachings of Shams Tabrizi; You Never Heard Before

"These Teachings Will Break You… Then Rebuild Your Soul | Shams of Tabriz" For Rumi's Poetry and Poems Who Was Shams Tabrizi? Shams al-Din Tabrizi (1185–1248) wasn’t just Rumi’s spiritual mentor—he was a revolutionary voice who shattered religious dogma. A wandering dervish from Tabriz, Iran, he lived as a basket-weaver and teacher, hiding his brilliance behind humility. His life was a quest for raw truth, not titles or temples. As he wrote in the Maqalat: “Blessing is excess. Don’t be content with being a scholar or mystic—say, ‘I want MORE.’” Divine Love (Eshq)—a force so fierce it turns “shameful deeds virtuous” and blinds lovers to everything but God. Why His Teachings Still Burn Today In the Maqalat (his only surviving work), Shams attacks hollow rituals and intellectual pride: Ego Annihilation: “All veils are ONE veil: this existence. Those whose ego isn’t dissolved in God teach He’s unreachable.” The Mirror of the Heart: “A pure heart reflects God. If you see ugliness in another, it’s your own soul asking for healing.” Sacred Rebellion: He praised “infidels with sincerity” over “hypocrites in mosques”, urging seekers to “break chains, not kneel before them.” His bond with Rumi wasn’t gentle—it was a collision of souls. As Rumi confessed: “I was raw. Shams cooked me.” Read My E-book ⬇️   / love-tales-of-rumi-68601   Chapters: 00:00 - Intro 00:32 - 01 - " Eshq: the Divine Love" by Shams Tabrizi 01:06 - 02 - " The Vail of Delusion " by Shams Tabrizi 03:18 - 03 - " The Final Surrender " by Shams Tabrizi 06:22 - 04 - " The Alef of Meaning " by Shams Tabrizi 08:06 - 05 - " The Arrow of Truth " by Shams Tabrizi 10:25 - 06 - " The Illuminated Heart " by Shams Tabrizi 13:14 - 07 - " The Mirror of the Heart " by Shams Tabrizi 14:12 - 08 - " A Pure Heart " by Shams Tabrizi 15:55 - 09 - " The Path of Annihilation" by Shams Tabrizi 18:03 - 10 - " The Fortress of Oneness " by Shams Tabrizi 21:21 - 11 - " The Final Call " by Shams Tabrizi #mystic #spirituality #wisdom #teaching #shamstabrizi #quotes #sufismpoetry
