When you look inside, you’ll discover a vast array of wise sayings, proverbs, and stories from the world’s great spiritual traditions and cultures. You'll also find hundreds of quotes, jokes, and anecdotes given to us by the great souls of our planet.

For your information and enlightenment, I've included a brief description of each of them at the end of the book in the Roster of Great Souls. Now, I’m going to quote here one additional great soul — my daughter, Sari. One morning, when she was three, she said, “Abba, I’ve got something to tell you.” “Okay, Sari,” I asked, “what is it?” She briefly paused, then said, “Today is... today!” May today and every day for you be a blessed one!
