What happens when the soul longs for a truth it cannot yet grasp?
Weary of a life filled with misery, a flock of birds gathers in search of a solution. Their answer comes from the wise Hoopoe, a mystical guide who calls them to an impossible quest: to seek the legendary king of birds, the Simurgh, who dwells atop the mighty Mount Qaf.
This timeless tale takes the birds on a profound spiritual journey, but first, each must face the attachments and doubts that hold them back: the proud Eagle, drawn to worldly power; the cautious Owl, tempted by hidden treasures; the romantic Nightingale, ensnared by fleeting love; the fervent Parrot, consumed by longing for immortality; the meticulous Goose, preoccupied with purity; and the timid Finch, weighed down by fear of its own weakness.
To find their king, this flock of hesitant souls must traverse seven perilous stages-a story of self-discovery that leads them through an enchanted forest of illusions, a plain of fire, and a dark, treacherous sea. This allegory weaves together philosophy, spiritual insight, and imaginative storytelling, inviting readers to reflect on life's deepest questions.
This luminous retelling of Attar's Conference of the Birds invites you to walk beside the birds, contemplate your own inner journey, and discover the divine essence mirrored in nature and in the quiet of your own heart.
Embark on this unforgettable spiritual journey and uncover the truth that awaits within.
EndorsementWhat a delight reading your book! It is so well written, so poetic. It flows-one doesn't want to stop reading. And above all, the profound wisdom! Your readers could gain profound insights and become happier. - Rolf Sattler, PhD, Emeritus Professor, McGill University
