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.
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life -- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
