That is how they taught--with very simple examples to bring out great truths. Many of the great saints and sages were just simple people. They seldom quoted from scriptures, because they didn't even read. They lived with nature, and what they, themselves, were learning directly from nature, they brought out in the form of stories. Then, when the people saw the ordinary, natural things in their daily lives, they were reminded of the highest truths.
Another reason that most of the great teachers taught in the form of stories is that people often forget the plain truth, because it's just plain. But they can easily remember a story. And by remembering the story, they can remember the teaching, also.
So the great teachers often presented the higher truths through stories--and the stories are very simple. In fact, the truth itself is very simple. Sometimes, our complicated minds don't want to accept that. They question, "Could it really be that simple?" A complicated mind doesn't want to accept simple things.
That is why the kingdom--real peace and joy--lies among the children. As the great sage Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa would often say, "Forget everything that you have learned. Become like a child again, and you will experience God right now."
These stories are for children of all ages. They contain within them the ancient wisdom and universal teachings of the great sages and saints of India, and are golden keys for true success in life. May you apply them well and experience all health, happiness, peace, and prosperity.
