shriti_sunshine 's review for:
I don't have a review per se , seeing as there wasn't really any story being told. I did make a couple of highlights while reading this book and noting them here:
I quoted a Sanskrit shloka my grandfather had taught me when I was six years old: ‘O God, I don’t need a kingdom nor do I desire to be an emperor. I don’t want rebirth or the golden vessels or heaven. I don’t need anything from you. O Lord, if you want to give me something, then give me a soft heart and hard hands, so that I can wipe the tears of others.’
... in the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna says, ‘Atma aiva hi atmano bandhu aatma aiva ripu atmanah’.
God is considered to be an omnipotent friend—someone who is approachable and whom we can speak to at any time and anyhow we choose. These (folklore) tales are meant to bring out the human side of the Lord, while retaining the devotion towards him.
Who says money is the ultimate goal of life? It isn’t. You will find out when the time is right.
One of life’s goals is the ability to understand human nature and raise a fellow being from rock bottom to becoming a useful member of society. We all lose a few battles in our lives, but we can win the war. There’s always hope!
