Two Minutes with Reality

We often look at reality through filters, like coloured glasses and everything around us seems to have the colour of the tint we wear. Then there are times, when a single phrase, a conversation, an idea or an interaction brings clarity, leaving us with a deeper understanding of life and a more clear picture of ourselves and the world around us. This collection covers stories from diverse sources. They include incidents from the life of famous personalities such as Swami Vivekananda, Benjamin Franklin, Swami Ramkrishna Paramhans, Prophet Mohammed, stories of sufi and dervish origin, stories from Indian mythology, stories from the bible and from various traditions globally.
