Reason why people come into your life by Sri VishwanathThe book opens with a story about a boy named Shiva.  He lived at home with his parents and every night before going to bed he saw an image of a precious tone which circled his eyes and then like magic went away.One night he had a dream about a monk.  The monk said, "Close your eyes, hold my hands tightly, and follow me, Shiva." This opening reminded me of the "scrooge movie."They went on a journey and first were to a remote house near the hill station, where it was believed to be abandoned and haunted. When they arrive at one room, Shiva is instructed to open his eyes.  A stone was shinning for his eyes to see; aha!  Shiva remembers this from his dreams. Shiva is instructed to get up in the morning but to go to this place and was given the shinning stone to keep.Since this is a new thing to do each morning, Shiva did not know what to do and he prayed to God that the monk would come back to instruct. He continued with his dreams and the shinning stone appearing.  Years go by and the dreams are forgotten. Shiva married to Sharda and had two sons.He opened a tourism business. He led his life with a big hole in it and wondered why he was not happy. He wants to die and bids goodbye without his family knowing what he was up to. He is reunited with the monk of his dreams and they play dice.  He rolls the #6.  This leads to a journey from ignorance to knowledge and the lessons include:1.  God's strength does not lie in his thoughts.2.  God is not influenced by his own thoughts.3.  God does not want the world to change he wants everyone to evolve. 2012 Jackie Paulson
