A collection of the parables of Sri Ramakrishna. These are drawn from everyday life of the people around him. Some are based on Puranic stories. Their genius lies in their conveying profound spiritual truths in a lucid and often humorous way. They bear witness to the Master's consummate wit and keen observation.
Karma is the eternal assertion of human freedom. If we can bring ourselves down by our karma, surely it is in our power to raise ourselves by our own karma.
-Swami Vivekananda
