📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Where is the wisdom of living hidden?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this collection of fables, I was astonished at the sharp worldly wisdom delivered through the mouths of animals. Composed by an ancient Indian sage to instruct young princes, this book pierces both the dark and the bright sides of human nature and offers practical laws of survival. Far more than a simple children's tale, it is the oldest textbook of wisdom for grown-ups; read it, and the way you see people will be forever changed.

"Books are of no use to a man without wisdom, just as a mirror is of no use to a blind man."
Vishnu Sharma (attributed), Panchatantra
"지식이 없는 자에게 책은 장님에게 거울과 같다."
