Mulla Nasrudin, the wise fool of Eastern folklore and Eastern Philosophy, holds a special place in Sufi studies. The Sufis, who believe that deep intuition is the only real guide to knowledge, use the humorous stories of Nasrudin's adventures almost like exercises in Sufi Thought. The Sufis ask people to choose a few which especially appeal to them, and turn them over in their mind, making them their own. Sufi teaching masters say that in this way a breakthrough into a higher wisdom can be effected. In Sufism, a single story can work on many levels, from great humour to initiating profound thought.
