The Fairy's Dream: A Sufi Tale By Hazrat Inayat Khan - Paperback

This is an illustrated Sufi tale that explores the mystery of life's purpose. It tells of a fairy who had a great desire to amuse herself, who descends on the Earth. To enter a doll's house, she has to fragment herself into different bits. Ultimately, each of the bits forgot its oneness with the original fairy. Confusion and conflict ensue, and finally the fairy herself has to bring an awakened heart to the doll's house in order to establish understanding, peace and harmony. The story shifts to a metaphysical tone to explain that God is Love, and that Love is Truth. That the purpose of life is fulfilled in being Truth rather than knowing Truth.
