Status Updates From Die vierzig Geheimnisse der...

বইটার ইংরেজি অনুবাদ পড়েছিলাম। এবার ইচ্ছে করে বাংলা অনুবাদ কিনে পড়ছি।এটা আমার পড়া ২য় বই যেটা একবার পড়ে আবার পড়ছি এবং ১ম বই যা আগে অন্য ভাষা পড়ার পর আরো ভালোভাবে আয়ত্ত করতে বাংলায় পড়ছি। নেপথ্যে - রুমি,রুমি,রুমি....🍁

Ik vind t meteen alweer leuk!!

Teveel wijn op om verder te lezen

Enjoyable read. Slightly disappointed in the fictional approach to Rumi and Shams’ relationship.

Unexpected but such a good book!

Was de vorige keer zo mega enthousiast over deze schrijver, dus m’n verwachtingen liggen echt hoog

The 30th - and final - book of 2025!

Elif Shafak, the writer that you are! This may be one of the best books I've read ever!

Rule #39
“While the parts change, the whole always remains the same … In this way not only does nothing remain the same but also nothing ever really changes.”

Why is it, then when we seem to have “everything” we could ever need in life - family, a good career, money, even a tangible impact on others - we still find ourselves unhappy? Is it an inevitability of humanity? Is it a typical mid-life crisis? Or are our conceptions of what make us happy, completely false?

I’m hoping Shafak can answer these questions.

“You see, Ella, all I can give you is the present moment. That is all I have. But the truth is, no one has more than that. It is just that we like to pretend we do.”

Best read of the year!

⭐ عشق تحول‌آفرین است، نه احساسی ساده.
⭐ برای رشد باید از ترس‌ها و قضاوت‌ها عبور کرد.
⭐ مخالفت جامعه بخشی طبیعی از مسیر تغییر است.
⭐ گاهی دردناک‌ترین لحظات، عمیق‌ترین درس‌ها را می‌آورند.

“Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation. If we are the same person before and after we loved, that means we haven’t loved enough.”

Incroyaaaable

«شجاعت برای نگاه کردن به درون و پذیرفتن تغییری که عشق همراه می‌آورد.»

“What we need is sincere self-examination. Not being on the watch for the faults of others.”

تا اینجا کتاب دارد دو سفر تحول را شروع می‌کند—یکی سفر معنوی (شمس و مولانا) و یکی سفر احساسی/هویتی (اِلا)—و نشان می‌دهد که عشق، نیروی آغازگر هر دگرگونی است.

“Love cannot be explained. It can only be experienced.
Love cannot be explained, yet it explains all.”

Rereading for my new book club with glee because I LOVE THIS BOOK

“How can love be worthy of its name if one selects solely the pretty things and leaves out the hardships? It is easy to enjoy the good and dislike the bad. Anybody can do that. The real challenge is to love the good and the bad together, not because you need to take the rough with the smooth but because you need to go beyond such descriptions and accept love in its entirety.”

good so far

“Fret not where the road will take you. Instead concentrate on the first step. That’s the hardest part and that’s what you’re responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Do not go with the flow. Be the flow.”
