The Secret

—Rhonda Byrne

Fragments of a Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. For the first time, all the pieces of The Secret come together in an incredible revelation that will be life-transforming for all who experience it.
In this book, you'll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life -- money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You'll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that's within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.
The Secret contains wisdom from modern-day teachers -- men and women who have used it to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.

Vikram And Betal

Baital Pachisi or Vetala Panchvimshati ("Twenty five tales of Baital") or Vikram and The Vampire is a collection of tales and legends from India. It was originally written in Sanskrit. Like Arabian Nights, it is a set of tales, within a frame story.

According to Richard Francis Burton and Isabel Burton, the Baital Pachisi "culminated in the Arabian Nights, and which inspired the "Golden Ass" of Apuleius, Boccacio's "Decamerone," the "Pentamerone," and all that class of facetious fictitious literature."

The story revolves around the semi-legendary King Vikram, identified as Vikramāditya (c. 1st century BC). Vikram promises a yogi to bring him the Baital (or Vetala in Sanskrit), a huge vampire. Baital hangs on a tree and inhabits and animates dead bodies. Virkam faces many difficulties in bringing the Baital. A series of Hindu fairy tales are strung on this frame story, which typically include the following sequence:

· The Baital agrees to accompany the Vikram, provided the latter does not speak.

· The Baital tells Vikram a tale in which one or more characters' behaviour seems to be awkward or injust.

· The Baital concludes the tale with a question about the character's behaviour, which is actually a cleverly-disguised riddle about righteousness and/or politics.

· Vikram answers and succeeds in justifying the character's behaviour.

· As Vikram speaks, violating their agreement, the Baital flies back to the tree.
