Instruction through stories is a very ancient method, initially practised by the preceptors of Gurukulas and Ashrams and later adopted by preachers of moral and ethics in modern times. Bhagawan relates short stories in His discourses for the benefit of all.
The stories contained in these two volumes have been carefully selected so as to manifest in full the potential talents in children. They are meant to bring out the five-fold universal human values latent in them namely truth, righteous conduct, peace, love and non-violence.
