CLEAR ALL
A lecture delivered by Idries Shah before a live audience in 1977 In this lecture Shah talks about the correct approach the student needs to take in order to learn, as well as the characteristics that aid the student in his study of Sufism and those which are detrimental to it.
What is Sufism? The book follows the Sufi principle of "scatter" in answering this unanswerable question. It deliberately shies away from offering an ordered definition. Instead, it throws out ideas. Like fragments of light on dust particles, they reveal the shape of something intangible.
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. The author begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject.
Caravan of Dreams distills the essence of Eastern thought in a feast of stories, sayings, poems, and allegories, collected by one of the world’s leading experts in Oriental philosophy.
Dervish tales are more than fable, legend, or folklore. For centuries dervish masters have instructed their disciples by means of these teaching stories, which are said to increase perception and knowledge and provide a better understanding of man and the world.
