Download or read book The Little Book of Sufi Stories written by Neil Douglas-Klotz and published by Hampton Roads Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Entertaining. . . . practical, ghostly, and often very funny tales . . . including those by saints like Rumi as well as lay storytellers from Turkey and Persia.” —Publishers Weekly The stories in this book are drawn from the dozens of Sufi tales that Douglas-Klotz has enjoyed telling in his seminars over the past 20 years. Most of them appear in works of the classical Sufis, such as Rumi, Attar, or S’adi. To preserve some of the in-person feeling and bring the language up to date, he has given them his own improvised turns. “If you want to hear a good story but prefer to read it instead, then read Douglas-Klotz! He writes as if he’s sitting in your living room, invited over for afternoon tea to entertain you with some heart-pleasing, often humorous, yet soul-searching Sufi stories. His modernization of these old texts is gentle and mindful, yet unapologetic.” —Maryam Mafi, from the foreword

Pope in his "Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus," has mercilesslyt ridiculed the accounts of the power attributed to music by the ancients, and we must say that we feel inclined to agree with the author of "The Dunciad," when he refuses to give credence to accounts which are certainly over-seasoned with that quality known as the "miraculous." 403.--An Indirect Hint. Musicians as a rule love good cheer, both liquid and solid; fortunately for this predilection they have been at all times favoured guests of the wealthy, and perhaps no class in the whole community has had so large an experience of the hospitality of great men. That this rather undignified position of musical artists is no new thing is shown by the following story of ancient date: Philoxenus, who taught Antigenides the flute--and who, Burney says, "was so great an epicure that he is said to have wished for a throat as long as that of a crane, and all palate, in order to prolong the relish of the delicious morsels he swallowed--being served with a small fish at the table of Dionysius of Syracuse, and seeing an enormous turbot placed before the tyrant, put the head of the little fish close to his mouth, and pretended to whisper to it: then placed it close to his ear, as if to receive the answer more distinctly. Upon being AN INDIRECT HINT. 161 asked by Dionysius for an explanation of this mummery, he said, fI am writing a poem, sir, upon Galatea, one of the Nereids, and as I want information concerning several particulars relative to her father Nereus, and the watery element, that are quite out of my ken, I was in hopes of obtaining some satisfaction from this fish; but he tells me that...
