Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Según el sufismo, cada uno percibe las cosas según el patrón en el que ha sido educado, de manera que las historias sufis pueden modificar esa pauta haciendo que el lector tienda a identificarse con algún personaje de la historia: cuando éste se conmueva sus esquemas establecidos y se le abra la oportunidad de ver las cosas desde otra perspectiva. Por ello los temas de estos cuentos suelen repetirse una y otra vez con objeto de que, en alguna de sus variantes, surja esa penetración y esa toma de conciencia.

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.

Book excerpt: "The Way of the Sufi presents an unparalleled cross-section of material from Sufi schools, teachings and classical writings, as a basic course of Sufi study. Its author, Idries Shah, is regarded as the most influential modern exponent of Sufi ideas. His many books on the subject seek to make some of the Eastern world's greatest teachings accessible to a Western audience. In this book, Shah begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject. He considers various attitudes to Sufi ideas, and evidence of their absorption into medieval Christianity, Hinduism, Jewish mysticism and modern philosophical teachings. The greater part of the book illuminates aspects of Sufi activity and practice relevant to the contemporary world." --
