Book Description
The Path We Follow is an inspirational story of courage, perseverance, compassion, and selflessness. Neel, an unskilled laborer or 'coolie', works as a porter in India's Himalayan Mountains, and dreams of one day living on a small farm of his own. On the morning of his last day in the mountains, after having saved enough money to purchase a small plot of land, Neel is approached by an old man who begs Neel to help him climb to a sacred temple near the top of the mountain. Despite the stormy winter weather, and his eagerness to leave the mountains and look for a place to call home, Neel agrees to make one last trip to the temple, so the old man can fulfill his 'last wish.' Their climb to the temple becomes an enlightening experience for Neel, who must battle the harsh elements as well as contend with his conscience and values to decide what kind of person he wants to be, and how he wants to be remembered in life.
