This little book contains a compilation of short stories told by a silent master. The stories illustrate how much wisdom can be gained by merely observing Mother Nature. The first chapter contains the essence of the entire book that everything in this wonderful world is connected and hence destroying any part of it will ultimately result in hurting ourselves. Mother Nature provides for all without any discrimination based on cast, creed or colour. In addition she gives and gives without ever expecting anything in return. She never stops giving, even when we hurt her in our ignorance. Man in his selfish quest for wealth and power is ready to wage war against his fellow brothers. All for the sake of material gains, which we cannot take with us at our time of death. Thus, it is hoped that reading these little stories will erase all forms of discrimination, anger and hatred from your hearts leaving behind merely feelings of love, peace and joy. The author currently serves as an Associate Professor of Finance at Monash University Malaysia. He has been a teacher for most of his life but in truth he has never ceased to be a student in the school of life.

When you ask someone the question, "Who are you?" The normal response you get is their name and then if you enquire further they will tell you what they do for a living or where they live etc. But unfortunately none of these fully describes who they are. All the above descriptions relate to the physical body. Thus, the next question is "Are you indeed the body?" This little book is simply a guide to you discovering the answer to the above question and in the process to discover your true nature or SELF. This is an attempt to answer these questions by merely observing ourselves and the environment around us. It does not make or rely on any metaphysical hypothesis or assumptions. Our starting point is simply what we all perceive or experience with our senses in our daily lives. It is for this reason that this approach is described as rational. Remember, my friends that only seekers discover and the discovery of one's own true nature is certainly the greatest discovery in one's life. Finally, it is my sincere wish that you find this little book useful and that you have a great journey. The author has been a teacher for most of his life but in truth he had never ceased to be a student.
