About This Book

A traditional Sufi teaching story for children about a farmer's wife who outwits a series of tricksters through genuine wisdom and good sense — illustrating that practical wisdom and shrewd intelligence are as much gifts of the spirit as esoteric knowledge.

What You'll Learn

Receive through story the Sufi teaching that genuine spiritual wisdom expresses itself in practical intelligence and good sense rather than mystical otherworldliness. See how the apparently ordinary woman demonstrates the clarity that the apparently clever are unable to achieve. Honour the wisdom of the ordinary and practical as a valid expression of the sacred.
