Description

An exhaustive collection of the tales and parables of the Great Master.

The distinction between a tale and a parable is often insignificant. When understood from the standpoint of a profound spiritual preceptor and an eager aspirant, a tale becomes a parable as easily as a tadpole a frog.

Though generally the tales of the Master are based on facts of his own or others' experience in life, yet the strange eye with which they are seen and the mystic way they are narrated give them all a more less parabolic stamp.
