About the book: 2011 / For centuries, Sufi masters taught their students using the example of ancient stories of dervishes - these parables helped to achieve awareness and take the right path in personal spiritual search. Osho tells these ancient Sufi stories - wise, witty, incredibly beautiful - and explains their essence. "If you understand that life is a gift, then everything that belongs to life also becomes a gift. Happiness, love, meditation - everything beautiful becomes a gift from the divine. It cannot be earned by any effort, you cannot force life to make you happy, loving, meditative. Any effort from the ego, the effort itself makes you unhappy,” says Osho. Be filled with existence, feel the stories of Sufi sages - and you will open a world of awareness and harmony.
