About the book: 2004 / If some people believe that you can achieve enlightenment only by being very serious, ascetic and boring, they are deeply mistaken. Jesuit monk Anthony de Mello, who collected in his books (and, obviously, composed a lot himself) parables and anecdotes from many countries, times and peoples, will easily prove this to you. The book is intended for people of any age and level of development. It’s just that some will see here a collection of delightful anecdotes, while others will see something like a ladder leading... Where? Read it and find out for yourself. The books of Father Anthony de Mello cannot be attributed to any particular religion; they are designed to help representatives of various faiths, agnostics and atheists in their spiritual search; they were not intended by the author as a guide to action for a Catholic faithful to Christian doctrine or dogma.
