Cherish The Natural Feeling

Description

About the Book :

In this delightful medley of short pieces, Hoshang Gustad Dastoor glides effortlessly from humorous stories, slice of life, science, philosophy and divinity, eventually to more closely contemplate the varied experiences and perceptions of a lifetime.

Dastoor’ vision is distinct – inspired by the profundity of ‘plain living, high thinking’, he has an innate capacity to explore the active principle of the Divine.

Reflecting on the diverse dramas that lurk in every corner of our lives, Dastoor invites you to view them with the essential integrity of our being, so that we do not complicate our lives with falsehood, and we Cherish the Natural Feeling more closely, as did the Mule – the antihero in his favourite science-fiction classic Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov.
