Stories convey subtle spiritual truths through the simple incidents they recount, helping us to visualize and understand abstruse principles easily. They have thus been widely used by spiritual teachers in all ages. This selection of short stories will entertain the reader, and at the same time, help enrich his or her spiritual life.
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
