This is an adaptation of a few stories narrated by Swami Vivekananda to his audiences. The stories have been retold, giving their imaginary characters familiar names of men and women, thus bringing them close to us and making them more intimate, living and personal. There is a moral at the end of each tale. With excellent illustrations which further embellish the tales, this book is specially meant for children.
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
