Vidwan Pandit

Shri Ramakrishna was a saintly person of Bengal of the nineteenth century. He would tell simple stories to make fine points about the conduct of life. Here are some of them. An illiterate boatman makes a scholar realize that in times of danger book learning will not suffice. A thief disguising himself as holy man and earning respect, decides to be really fitting to the new role. A fisherwoman and a flower-vendor have their own likes and dislikes of smells. An alms-seeker finds the would be donor praying for more. An argumentative man is made to take responsibility of bad actions as much as credit for good ones. The Learned Pandit includes stories which stress the importance of faith and devotion.
