about

I found this Persian tale in a collection by Heinrich Zimmer (edited by Joseph Campbell), calledThe King and The Corpse: Tales of the Soul’s Conquest of Evil.

I know “Tales of the Soul’s Conquest of Evil” has a rather ominous sound but this is a humorous story about a miserly merchant and a troublesome pair of shoes… and much more, of course. This tale gives you a lot to ponder if you like to approach story images from a Jungian perspective.

I don’t want to give anything away so will leave you with this quote: “Always you will find that within you the shadow and the light go together… It is up to you to know how to utilize the one to realize the other.” -Sri Aurobindo
