The book of the book

The book of the book
Dr. Jassim Taqui




Have you noticed the long speeches and press conferences of the politicians? Yes, they are boring and devoid of any meaning. The tragedy is that these politicians belief that they can change the public opinion in their favor by giving lengthy and confusing statements. Their media advisers push them even more and advise them to use abuses not only against their opponent but indeed against minorities and ethnic groups.The discourse of the US presidential candidate Donald Trump is only one tiny example. The abuses of PTI chief Imran Khan is another example in Pakistan.

This aspect was recognized by the renowned Sufi Idries Shah in 1969. Shah published a book titled "The book of the book" in which he tried to highlight the issue.

It is the most compelling and astonishing texts ever to emerge from the Orient. Its central premise is the simple phrase, " When you realize the difference between  the container and the content, you will have knowledge.

Leave you with the amazing world of Idries Shah and the virtue of brevity. You will
find out some exciting aspects that ordinary you would never think of.
