Summary

"Every one of these stories is about you." (Anthony de Mello)

Everyone loves stories, and in this audiobook, the best-selling author of Sadhana: A Way to God shares 124 stories and parables from a variety of traditions both ancient and modern. Each story resonates with life lessons that can teach us 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 familiar yet enduring medium of the story to illustrate profound realities that bring us in touch with the problems and concerns of daily life, as well as with 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."

Beautifully narrated by Homer Todiwala, this is indeed a volume to treasure, to share, and to listen to many times over, for it is everyone's best companion on the road to spiritual growth.

Filled with learning

I love this book. I have had the hard back for 25 years and read it often. Now I can listen while I run. Anthony de Mello was 50 years ahead of time.
