Dogs from the point of view of Sufis. Javad Nurbakh

In the Middle Eastern literature, the dog often serves as a symbol of savagery, anger, greed and other low qualities. The first to challenge a similar view of the dogs were Sufi - followers of a mystical tradition based on the ideals of service and love. Sufi sought to show that dogs have many virtues, which people are sometimes deprived of. This book contains stories about dogs from classic Sufi texts. In them, dogs teach and inspire Sufis, symbolize both worthy qualities and those that it is better to get rid of. The book can be useful to everyone who is interested in the spiritual traditions of the East and oriental literature.
