Description of Tales of the Dervishes by Idries Shah PDF

“Tales of the Dervishes: Teaching-Stories of the Sufi Masters over the Past Thousand Years” is a treasure of wisdom peppered with humor. Idries Shah is the author of this classy book. This book contains stories with great insight into human behavior. These stories will shake your assumptions and strict belief in the established, conventional, trusted and safe relationship between cause and effect. These stories, if nothing else, open your mind to a different way of thinking. It tells that Sufi masters used tales to teach.

Indeed, one of them (“The Story of Fire”) concludes with the following “You have to learn how to teach, for man does not want to be taught. First of all, you will have to teach people how to learn. And before that, you have to teach them that there is still something to be learned. They imagine that they are ready to learn. But they want to learn what they imagine is to be learned, not what they have first to learn. When you have learned all this, then you can devise the way to teach. Knowledge without a special capacity to teach is not the same as knowledge and capacity.” In short, this would be a great addition to your personal library, as many will want to read these tales more than once.
