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.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
