| layers: words: Idries Shah retells an Aesopian fable: the story of a mole (blind) who tells his mother he can see. She places frankinsense in front of him and ask him to identify it and he says it is a stone. She replies that not only can he not see but he has lost his sense of smell too. Shah points out the significance of the mole attempting to develop faculties in the wrong order and losing even the one he should have, and the symbolism of the parallel meanings of the arabic word for mole. —Shah, p13 |
