About Yusuf and the Little Mouse
During a Friday evening class in the Playground in March 1957 the Mother read out to the children a story meant to illustrate the value of patience and perseverance. The young man in the tale, seeking initiation from his guru, learns the hard way that in order to truly possess any knowledge, one must put it into practice, one must master one’s nature in order to express that knowledge in action. Only after understanding this truth is he worthy to receive initiation from his guru. Illustrated with numerous drawings, this picture book for children presents the story told by the Mother and her comments to the children of the Ashram school.
