Download or read book The Exploits of the Incomparable Mulla Nasrudin written by Idries Shah and published by Isf Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 146 pages. 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 The Jokes of Nasreddin Hodja written by Molla Nasreddin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nasreddin is a 13th century satirical Sufi, a populist philosopher and wise man, remembered for his funny stories and anecdotes. He is, indeed, a very serious joker who shows that the world is a cosmic joke, who illustrates that the world is not a tragedy, but a comedy- the world is a place where if one can learn how to laugh, s/he has learned all- If one's prayer cannot become a deep laughter that comes from all over his/her being, if his/her prayer is sad and if s/he cannot joke with his/her god, then s/he is not truly religious. Nasreddin appears in thousands of stories- sometimes witty, sometimes wise, but often, too, a fool or the butt of a joke. He tends to be illogical yet logical, rational yet irrational, bizarre yet normal, and simple yet profoundly wise. Each of his stories finds him in a different situation, and through his viewpoint, it humorously explains and teaches us on various themes of life. The great allure of his stories is that they are funny as well as educational and thought provoking, they deal with ideas that have relevance to even today's world and people, they deal with fundamental human nature- social injustice, the privileges of the upper classes, selfishness among the common people, foibles and incompetence, ignorance and narrow-mindedness of all kinds and so on. Among thousands of his folktales/stories/jokes, we have collected 200 great ones in this book.

Book excerpt: These lines by the great teacher and mystic Jalaludin Rumi indicate the many-faceted role of humor in Sufi teaching. Shah writes: "As a shock-applier and tension-releaser and an indicator of false situations, humour, certainly to the Sufi in traditional usage, is one of the most effective instruments and diagnostic aids." Not only are the 60 jokes contained in this volume representative of the type of material used in Sufi development, but their selection, arrangement, and presentation comprise an actual learning experience for the modern reader. Shah weaves contemporary jokes, humorous anecdotes, and stories with skillful commentary. The result is an a entertaining journey which mixes laughter, introspection, and surprise.
