Sufi Spiritual Stories
Although developed through a Sufi, mystical perspective, the short stories related here are applicable to almost any spiritual tradition because the underlying principles of spirituality and mysticism tend to remain largely the same across time, geography, and people ... although the language used to describe the mystical path may vary somewhat from tradition to tradition.
Introduction
Although told in a largely original fashion, the stories to which you gain access through this web page are based upon either time-honored stories of the mystics, or built around various, essential spiritual insights drawn from such stories. Other stories are wholly original but are still rooted in traditional teachings. In either case, the names have been changed to protect the innocent, and, as well, considerable poetic license has been taken in the telling and/or re-telling of these spiritual tales.
