Jokes and humorous stories, an ancient form of language, are one of the main teaching tools of the Sufis. It seems that all great Sufi teachers are Arabs, but not all Sufis are Arabs. On the contrary, Sufists say that Sufism exists as long as there is spiritual culture. From what is known about this spiritual system, strict and humorous, closed and free at the same time, we know that it leads to ultimate knowledge and has influenced or shaped great poets, scientists, and ways of life, as well as Western culture in its distant origins, e.g. the medieval troubadours. The book provides selected short texts and a broader discussion.
