  Since time immemorial spiritual masters have taught through parable and myth because it is a simple way of making the principles of truth easily accessible. Such tales reverberate in our minds and gradually influence the way we think and act. They give delight, yet they also help us understand what is important in life and what is transitory. They speak directly to the heart. Here, collected together for the first time, are the universally applicable teaching of His Holiness Shantanand Saraswati, Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math in Northern India from 1953 until his retirement in 1980. His Holiness comes from the ancient Advaita or nondualist tradition of knowledge and meditation and is one of India's living saints. He continues the work of his predecessor, His Holiness Brahmananda Saraswati (Gurudeva), in making mantra meditation available to people of many religious traditions.
