About this title

From the Author:

There are books that entertain and there are books that make you think. The Quest of the Sparrows is a book that entertains and makes you think. It is not a book that you will forget in a hurry, but it will stay with you long after and will be relevant to all the situations everyone faces in life at some point or the other.Spirituality too is becoming a dead term: everyone tom toms it but few live out its principles. Because there are no insights which shed a light on the foundations on which it stands. As a result we dismiss spirituality as detrimental to our material progress. We divide material life and spiritual life in two different compartments.The result: Unhappiness. The potential within us gets manipulated by the pulls and pushes of the material world and we end up losers.The book explores these and many more truths with an interesting journey. I welcome you to undertake it and share it with the world!
