More about the book
Exploring the themes of hypocrisy and self-deception, this work delves into the metaphor of the "perfuming of a scorpion" as taught by Sufi master Bahaudin. Idries Shah examines the contrast between surface appearances and underlying truths in psychology, human behavior, and the learning process. By focusing on both the alluring perfume and the hidden scorpion, the book invites readers to reflect on the complexities of self-awareness and the nature of institutions.
