from The Idries Shah Foundation:
The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin
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.
Printed copies are available from The Octagon Press and ebooks will soon be available for Kindle and other ebook readers.
