A collection of the parables of Sri Ramakrishna. These are drawn from everyday life of the people around him. Some are based on Puranic stories. Their genius lies in their conveying profound spiritual truths in a lucid and often humorous way. They bear witness to the Master's consummate wit and keen observation.
No one should be judged by their defects. The great virtues a person has are his or her especially. But their errors are the common weakness of humanity and should never be counted in estimating a person's character.
-Swami Vivekananda
