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.
Realize your true nature. That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are -- infinite spirit. That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for everything else will perish.
-Swami Vivekananda
