Review of 'S. N. Goenka' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
There once was a field mouse convinced he could become an elephant. For many years, the mouse went to great lengths to learn about the elephants, watching them from the grasses, imitating their movements, and even learning to understand their languages. In the barn, he found an open can of grey paint and decided to make his final transition. After soaking in oil paint for days, he returned to the burrows.
"Behold! I have become an elephant!" he proclaimed. Some of the other mice were very impressed and sat in rapture, listening to his stories of what the life of an elephant was like.
Emboldened by a long night of story telling, he once again returned to the grasses. This time, however, he approached the elephants in the field and proclaimed himself one of their own. But they could not hear him.
