De Mello Stories
Tony de Mello
The
Master in these tales is not a single person. He is a Hindu Guru, a Zen Roshi,
a Taoist Sage, a Jewish Rabbi, a Christian Monk, a Sufi Mystic. He is Lao Tzu
and Socrates. Buddha and Jesus, Zarathustra and Mohammed. His teaching is
found in the 7th century B.C. and the 20th century A.D. His wisdom belongs to
East and West alike. Do his historical antecedents really matter? History,
after all, is the record of appearances, not Reality; of doctrines, not of
Silence.
