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.
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
