In Swami Mukundananda's story, a fisherman sets out early in the morning to catch fish but, while waiting for daylight, discovers a bag of what he thinks are pebbles. Enjoying the sound of throwing them into the water, he tosses 24 pebbles before realizing in the light of dawn that the last one is a priceless jewel. Shocked, he regrets throwing away the others, realizing he had unknowingly discarded valuable treasures.

Swamiji explains that, like the fisherman, we often squander the precious gift we’ve been given—our human life—because we don’t recognize its value. The human form is unique and more valuable than any material jewel because it offers the opportunity for spiritual growth and realization. Even celestial beings, or devatas, desire human life for this reason.

Through the story and teachings from the Ramayana, Swami Mukundananda emphasizes the importance of understanding the value of human life. Only when we recognize this can we make the most of it by pursuing higher goals, as conveyed in Swami Vivekananda’s famous words: "Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached." The human form is a precious gift that allows us to realize our spiritual potential.
