Sufi Parables [New Release]

Sufi parables are brief, piercing tales that use wit, surprise, and apparent absurdity to unsettle the mind and open a door to deeper seeing. In this book, we bring together a rich selection of such parables and present them through Acharya Prashant’s distinctive reading, which turns them from entertaining tales into instruments of direct inner inquiry.
What makes this collection unique is the way Acharya Ji reads these stories. He does not present them as clever fables, spiritual amusement, or lessons to be admired from a safe distance. In his hands, they become living mirrors. Through them, he exposes our attachment to belief, our fear of facts, our dependence on social approval, and our habit of choosing comfort over Truth. Thus, Mulla Nasrudin is not merely a comic character here, but a means through which our own foolishness stands revealed. “The water of madness” becomes a powerful image of collective conditioning. “The wall” becomes the ego’s resistance to being disturbed.
Illuminated by Acharya Prashant’s direct and uncompromising insight, these parables do not merely explain wisdom; they confront the reader with the cost of self-deception and the necessity of inner honesty. Join this journey into the subtle, humorous, and uncompromising world of Sufi wisdom, and come closer to a life lived in fearless contact with fact.
