Download Conference of the Birds: A Mystic Allegory AudioBook Free
Farid ud-Din Attar occupies a visible devote the move of distinguished Persian poets. His most well-known work on Sufism, written eight hundreds of years earlier, is the Mantiq-ut-Tayr, or the "Colloquy of the Wild birds," an allegorical poem in which the gifted mystic describes the goal of the wild birds (symbolizing Sufi pilgrims) for the Simurg (god, the father of Creation). I should describe that I have omitted much that i thought would not interest a foreign listener or would tend to obscure rather than light up the salient tips of the discourse. I have also thought fit to provide a free rather than literal translation of the determined passages, so the work may be of interest to the everyday listener as well as to the student of spiritual and mystic lore. That is a famous mystic allegory much loved by a huge number worldwide.
