From The Idries Shah Foundation:
The Elephant in the Dark
A group of men sought to examine an elephant in a dark
room. Each took hold of a different part – an ear, the tail, a leg. Each mistook
his particular part for the whole – and became convinced that an elephant was a
fan, a rope, a pillar – and so on. With this seven hundred year old fable by the
Sufi giant Jalaluddin Rumi, Idries Shah presents the Sufi perspective that
Christianity and Islam stem from one, inner, origin. Based on his celebrated
Geneva University lectures, this book dazzles with the breadth of its
scholarship and the depth of its ideas.Printed copies are available from The Octagon Press and ebooks will soon be available for Kindle and other ebook readers.
