The great incarnations and prophets of mankind have often used stories to bring home to the common man the profound truths of philosophy and religion. This book impressively narrates?with attractive illustrations?one such story told and retold earlier by great spiritual teachers like Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda. This book will enable the readers to deeply reflect on the significance of the story, viz. the divinity of man.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything shall be added unto you. This is the one great duty, this is renunciation. Live for an ideal, and leave no place in the mind for anything else. Let us put forth all our energies to acquire that which never fails--our spiritual perfection. If we have true yearning for realization, we must struggle, and through struggle growth will come. We shall make mistakes, but they may be angels unawares.
-Swami Vivekananda
