Shams, the dervish

I am someone who can relate to Shams e Tabrizi better than to Rumi.
Rumi is esthetically beautiful and describes the ideal, but Shams is human, the rough unpolished diamond, who expresses the whole range of feeling and thought, who talks wisely and also gets angry and impatient and defiant .
Shams was a rebel while Rumi was from the establishment .
I feel welcomed like by a soulmate and breathe freely when I read Shams.
