Book Introduction:
Intelligence is not the core competency of humans only; animals are intelligent too. But Humans think that they are the best, and they keep on satisfying their ego by thinking so. But alas, this has led us humans into a bottomless pit, and we have become highly selfish and emotions-less. We have exploited animals enormously, and this ultimately us stone-hearted… which reflects in our behaviour with the fellow beings. No wonder we see corruption, injustice everywhere around us. Friction is prevalent at all levels – individual level, society level, national and international level.
Humans life is precious. A person who cares just about food, shelter, and sex can be considered more of an animal than human. He/ she who is free from ignorance, who can control his senses and can strive to overcome his/ her weaknesses is the person who can rightly be called a Human being. Such a person has a different perspective of life. Such a person will see animals as fellow beings and will love to learn from them, will befriend them and appreciate God and nature for creating them.
Today’s book will give us insight into the animal world and show us that they are as intelligent and gifted as humans. Exciting real-life incidents are quoted in the book on how animals too have been able to help the human race avoid significant accidents due to their intuition. Indeed the author wants us to give us the timeless message of –Live and Let Live…..
Few Excerpts from the book:
“According to Stanford William Carter, there are subtle changes in the environment when earthquakes and volcano eruptions are about to happen. Machines cannot detect these changes, but sensitive animals can sense them as their capacity to catch these changes is a thousand times more than the machines…” Pg 84, 4th para.
“Animals are not dependent on anyone for living their life. They find their food in forests, caves, water etc. They don’t need any guidance or mentor. They can protect themselves and know how to take care of their health. If we look at these facts, we can easily conclude that animals are more capable than humans…” Pg 4, 3rd para, line 2
Few topics covered in the book:
- Animals are intelligent too
- Creative talents of animals
- Larger than life – the heart of animals
