Every one of these stories is about YOU. --Anthony de Mello
Everyone loves stories; and in this book the bestselling author of
Sadhana: A Way to God shares 124 stories and parables from a variety
of traditions both ancient and modern. Each story resonates with life
lessons that can teach us inescapable truths about ourselves and our
world.
De Mello's international acclaim rests on his unique approach to
contemplation and ability to heighten self-awareness and self-discovery.
His is a holistic approach, and in the words of one reviewer: his
mysticism cuts across all times and peoples and is truly a universal
invitation. The Song of the Bird uses the familiar yet enduring medium
of the story to illustrate profound realities that bring us in touch
with the problems and concerns of daily life, as well as with our common
spiritual quest. The aim is to develop the art of tasting and
feeling the message of each story to the point that we are
transformed. Let the story speak to your heart, not to your brain, the
author directs. This may make something of a mystic out of you.
Enhanced by lovely ink drawings, this is indeed a volume to treasure, to
share, and to read many times over, for it is everyone's best companion
on the road to spiritual growth.
