This week on Inspiration Sounds we have three stories for you from three different books. Despite this they all contain the same ancient wisdom and delightful insight into the human spirit, as told by Sri Chinmoy. In the past, storytelling was not only important for entertainment but also for its teaching ability.
The Tell-Tale Plants
A short and funny story about the first day of a new doctor’s practice. The instruments are ready, the certificates are on the walls and the plants? Well you’ll just have to listen.
The Theory of Cat-Illumination

In this life I too seem to have many “cats”. Too many of them I fear to enable me to realise The Goal. But I sincerely hope and soulfully pray God’s will shall find them good homes, just like the disciple in Guru’s parable, to enable me to progress peacefully during this lifetime.
Thank you so much for conveying these wonderful stories so lovingly. They are truly inspirational sounds.
