Download Thinkers of the East AudioBook Free
Thinkers of the East is a assortment of anecdotes and "parables in action" illustrating the eminently sensible and lucid methodology of Eastern Dervish professors. Distilled from the teachings of more than 100 sages in three continents, this material stresses the experimental rather than the theoretical - and it is that attribute of Sufi research which gives its impact and vitality. The emphasis of Thinkers of the East contrasts sharply with the American concept of the East as a location of theory without practice, or thought without action. The book's publisher, Idries Shah, says, "Without immediate experience of such coaching, or at least a direct recording of computer, I cannot observe how Eastern thought can ever before be recognized."
