Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mulla Nasrudin, the wise fool of Eastern folklore, holds a special place in Sufi studies. The Sufis, who believe that deep intuition is the only real guide to knowledge, use the humorous stories of Nasrudin's adventures almost like exercises. They ask people to choose a few which especially appeal to them, and turn them over in their mind, making them their own. Sufi teaching masters say that in this way a breakthrough into a higher wisdom can be effected. A single story can work on many levels, from great humour to initiating profound thought.

Download or read book Sufis written by Idries Shah and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sufis is the best introduction ever written to the philosophical and mystical school traditionally associated with the Islamic world.Powerful, concise, and intensely thought-provoking, it sums up over a thousand years of Eastern thought - the product of some of the greatest minds humanity has ever produced - into a single work, presenting timeless ideas in a fresh and contemporary style.When the book was originally published in 1964, it launched its author, Idries Shah, on to the international stage, attracting the attention of thinkers and writers such as J. D. Salinger, Doris Lessing, Ted Hughes and Robert Graves.It introduced to the Western world concepts which have subsequently become commonly accepted, varying from the psychological importance of attention and humour, to the use of traditional tales as teaching instruments (what Shah termed 'teaching-stories'), and the historical debt owed by the West to the Middle East in matters scientific, literary and philosophical.As a primer for the many dozens of Sufi books that Shah later produced, it is unsurpassed, offering a clear window onto a community whose system of thought and action has long concerned itself with the advancement of the whole of humankind, and whose ideas about individuals and society, their purpose and direction, need to be understood now more than ever before.

Book Synopsis Travels with Nasrudin by : Tahir Shah
Download or read book Travels with Nasrudin written by Tahir Shah and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wise fool of Oriental folklore, Nasrudin is known across a vast swathe of the globe - from Morocco in the west, to Indonesia in the east. Appearing under different names and in all manner of guises, he's universally admired for his back-to-front brand of genius - so much so that at least a dozen countries insist he was one of them. In reality, he is of course found everywhere - even in regions where he has no name. Tales of Nasrudin's wise-foolery have been told in caravanserais and teahouses since ancient times, just as they are recounted in cafés, office buildings, and homes the world over today. In the Land of Nasrudin, the wise are foolish and the foolish are wise. Leading us through a keyhole into a realm that's back-to-front and inside-out, the stories turn what we think we know and understand on its head. At the same time, Nasrudin tales form a cornerstone in an ancient and advanced psychology. As you laugh at the off-beat humour, the subconscious turns the puzzle-joke around, working away at it like a terrier worrying a rag doll. Tahir Shah was first introduced to Nasrudin by his father - the writer and thinker - Idries Shah. In his childhood, and in his travels, the wise fool has provided a lens through which Tahir has perceived the world. As he says, 'By training my attention to the methods of the wise fool, I have found new dimensions reveal themselves to me - both in lands I thought I knew, and in fresh dominions.' A remarkable work of exploration through human culture, and an observant self-examination, Travels With Nasrudin is unlike any other work of the travel genre published in recent times.
