    About this ebook

    It was the month of September. When I removed the curtain, the sun-rays began to enter the room. The golden sunlight pleased both body and mind. Some leaves on the trees in the garden outside were still green.

    A few minutes before, I had seen the gardener tending the lawn. Michael, the gardener, was tending the plants. He gathered all the dry leaves from the ground and put them in the pit where they could ferment and change into manure. Michael is a dedicated worker. He is fully devoted to his work. While working in the garden, he seems to be completely indifferent to the other things which might distract him.

      Chapter One: Early Morning

      Some mornings are naturally very beautiful. Everything seems to be perfect in and out. Nature seems to be warm and welcoming and mind begins to dance with a kind of beautiful harmony with the surroundings.

      It was the month of September. When I removed the curtain, the sunrays began to enter the room. The golden sunlight pleased both body and mind. Some leaves on the trees in the garden outside were still green.

He gathered all the dry leaves from the ground and put them in the pit where they could ferment and change into manure. Michael is a dedicated worker. He is fully devoted to his work. While working in the garden, he seems to be completely indifferent to the other things which might distract him.
