This is a great book to help all of us to analyze ourselves better , to be able to understand our un-real ILLUSIONS and our distorted view o f others, these stories are sometimes difficult to grasp , but as soon as you think and understand them and apply them ; then your life will begin to change or be modified, remember always to have a FLEXIBLE mind and to be very sincere with yourself when you read the books o f this excellent , honest, sincere and great Psychologist A. de Mello ,his books are also publised in Spanish.Thanks to the publishers: ING.

Parables of Truth,
By Tony Theil (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Song of the Bird (Paperback)
deMello has taken 124 ancient and contemporary stories from various religious traditions and recorded them in a sequence that leads the reader to greater spiritual growth. Most stories are followed with a commentary that provide insight for further reflection. In the preface, deMello instructs the reader to read each story three times before moving on to the next, taking time to reflect on its inner depth and meaning.I followed deMello's instruction and confined my reading to one parable or tale each morning. Throughout the day it would return to me, either to amuse, enlighten or both.. Interestingly, I was already familiar with many of the tales but viewed them differently in the past. deMello has generated a refreshing, sometimes novel, interpretation that always inspires. Song of the Bird is a book that will be read again and again. The compilation is proof that although Truth has many ways of revealing itsself, it remains consistent and eventually reveals itself to all who seek it.

true to sufism,
By Shirin K "essence of ambiguity" (Vancouver, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Song of the Bird (Paperback)
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I was impressed by his understanding of the esoteric teachings of Sufism. This is a great introduction to Sufi teachings and those who enjoy Rumi would likely appreciate the instrospections introduced in the Song of the Bird. Truth has no boundaries, and we are all striving towards a common goal - that of self discovery and the meaning of existence. As Rumi put it - there are many ways to kneel and kiss the ground. It is the motive not the motion that counts at the end of the day.
