Book's Detail
Song of the bird

Everyone loves stories; and in this book the bestselling author of Sadhana: A Way to God shares 124 stories/parables from a variety of traditions, both ancient and modern. Each story is really a single lesson of life that teaches inescapable truths about ourselves and our world.

De Mello's international acclaim rests on his unique approach to contemplation and ability to heighten self-awareness and self-discovery. His is a holistic approach and, in the words of one reviewer, "his mysticism cuts across all times and peoples and is truly a universal invitation." THE SONG OF THE BIRD uses the age-old yet popular and always effective medium of the story to illustrate profound realities that bring us into touch with the problems and concerns of everyday life as well as our common spiritual quest. The aim is to develop the art of tasting and feeling the message of each story to the point that we are transformed "Let [the story] speak to your heart, not to your brain," the author directs. "This may make something of a mystic out of you."
