The greatest teachers of mankind have mostly given their profoundest thoughts in the simplest form of parables. Sri Ramakrishna is no exception. In this book, especially meant for children, the readers will find some of the most interesting and significant teachings of Sri Ramakrishna in the form of parables, collected and presented pictorially.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
