Description

All birds, known and unknown, one day came together and remarked that they lacked a king. Exhorted by a hoopoe - the messenger of love in the Quran - they decided to set off in search of the bird-king Simorgh, the symbol of God in Persian mystic tradition. Over the course of a journey fraught with danger, and having negotiated the valleys of desire, knowledge, love, unity and ecstasy... the thirty survivors undergo the final revelation: the Simorgh was their very being, until now concealed in the most profound depths of themselves. This famous initiatory tale, punctuated with stories and anecdotes, forever remains one of the jewels of Muslim spirituality. Of its author, Attar, poet and Persian mystic, the great Rumi proclaimed: “He was the soul of Sufism, I do no more than follow in his footsteps. ”
