________________ PART I GURUJI'S LIFE AND TEACHINGS: STORIES, PARABLES AND FABLES The life and teachings of Guruji are rich material for a biography. Contained within the stories that Guruji tells are the essential meanings of his life and teachings. Although life is more than can be expressed in words, these stories of Guruji's come from the heart. As the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote, there are truths of the heart that human reason will never comprehend. The majority of these stories reflect “truths of the heart" rather than those of reason. These stories show Guruji as a healer, a seer, and leader. Part I is divided into seven chapters. Each chapter is focused upon a different theme or type of story. Each story gives a different view of the universe in which Guruji lived. Together they not only contribute to a greater understanding and appreciation of Guruji's life and teachings, but also to the development of the same consciousness that guided him. Have a good journey. Jain Education International 18 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
