VISION OF THE SOUL
In a village lived four wood-cutters. They would go to the nearby jungles, cut wood, and bring the bundles every evening to sell in the city.

Today we have collected a lot of wood.
VEHON OF THE SOUL
Once king Pradeshi said to Shraman Keshi Kumar-You say that soul resides within the body. I cut a man's body to pieces but still could not see the soul. Shraman Keshi Kumar then explained him giving an example of four wood-cutters.
Why brother? Won't you come to collect wood today?
Once there were heavy rains for a few days. The woodcutters could not go to the jungle to cut wood. When it stopped raining, the four assembled. One said

Yes brother, we left home early today.
Where will we get dry wood after such heavy rains? And no one will buy wet wood.
Another said
10 miles from here is a dense forest. I have heard that it has plenty of dry pieces of wood. Let us go there.
