The story is interwoven with verses from Mankutimmana Kagga, each guiding Ramakrishna toward a deeper understanding of existence.  Through his interactions with a wise mentor, a struggling artist, and a disillusioned businessman, Ramakrishna learns that life is a blend of joy and sorrow, success and failure, attachment and detachment.
