Intellect & Love
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Shams
ad-Din Muhammad at-Tabriz (q.s.) said, “The intellect and love are made
of different materials. The intellect
ties people in knots and risks nothing, but love dissolves all tangles and
risks everything. The intellect is
always cautious and advises, ‘Beware too much ecstasy’, whereas love says, ‘Oh,
never mind! Take the plunge!’ The
intellect does not easily break down, whereas love can effortlessly reduce
itself to rubble. But treasures are
hidden among ruins. A broken heart hides
treasures.”
