Shams-i-Tabrīzī or Shams al-Din Mohammad
Shams becomes a symbol of God's love for mankind; Shams was a sun
("Shams" means "Sun" in Arabic) shining the Light of God .
One day Rumi was reading next to a large stack of books. Shams Tabriz,
passing by, asked him,
"What are you doing?"
Rumi scoffingly replied, "Something you cannot understand."
On hearing this, Shams threw the stack of books into a nearby pool of
water. Rumi hastily rescued the books and to his surprise they were
all dry.
Rumi then asked Shams, "What is this?"
To which Shams replied, "Mowlana, this is what you cannot understand."
A second version of the tale has Shams passing by Rumi who again is
reading a book. Rumi regards him as an uneducated stranger. Shams asks
Rumi what he is doing, to which Rumi replies, "Something that you do
not understand!" At that moment, the books suddenly catch fire and
Rumi asks Shams to explain what happened.

His reply was, "Something
you do not understand."
After several years with Rumi in Konya , Shams left and settled in
Khoy. As the years passed, Rumi attributed more and more of his own
poetry to Shams as a sign of love for his departed friend and master.
The lover’s cause is separate from all other causes
Love is the astrolabe of God's mysteries

the light is one,
when it arrives the houses,
it takes
a hundred shadows,
lay down the walls
and it becomes one again
