The narrative draws on an ancient fable by Sufi Master Jalaluddin Rumi, illustrating how perception shapes understanding. A group of men, each touching different parts of an elephant, mistakenly believes their limited experience represents the entirety of the creature. This allegory serves as a foundation for Idries Shah's exploration of the Sufi perspective, suggesting that both Christianity and Islam share a common, deeper origin. The book invites readers to reconsider their views on faith and the nature of truth.
