Well ! No one has ever bothered to ask the Hare his side of the story, so let me tell you the story from a different point of view…

I met the Hare and sat down with him for a heart to heart talk.

This is what he had to say after we spent the better part of a balmy summer afternoon getting to know one other.

It was a wonderful experience, believe me..

“Yes, I am the hare who lost.

No, I did not get lazy or complacent.

Let me explain.

I was hopping over the meadows near the hills and looked back to realize that the tortoise was nowhere to be seen.

Assured of my healthy lead, I decided to take a short nap under the large banyan tree near the pond.

The anticipation of the race had kept me up all night.

For days, that old silly tortoise had boasted about his ability to plod for hundreds of miles without stopping.

Life is a marathon, he said, not a sprint.I wanted to show him that I could run both far and fast.

The shade of the tree was like an umbrella.

I found an almost oval rock, covered it with grass, and turned it into a makeshift pillow.

I could hear the leaves rustling and the bees buzzing – it felt they were collaborating and even conspiring to put me to sleep.

And it didn’t take them long to succeed.

I saw myself drifting on a log in a beautiful stream of water.

As I came near the shore, I found an old man, with a flowing beard, sitting on a rock in a meditative pose. He opened his eyes, gave me an all-knowing smile, and asked:

“Who are you?”

“I am a hare. I am running a race.”

“Why?”

“To prove to all the creatures in the jungle that I am the fastest.”

“Why do you want to prove that you are the fastest?”

“So that I get a medal which will give me status which will give me money which will get me food…”

“There is already so much food around.” He pointed to the forest in the distance. “Look at all those trees laden with fruits and nuts, all those leafy branches”

“I also want respect. I want to be remembered as the fastest hare who ever lived.”

“Do you know the name of the fastest deer or the largest elephant or the strongest lion who lived a thousand years before you?”

“No.”

“Today you have been challenged by a tortoise.

Tomorrow, it will be a snake.

Then it will be a zebra.

Will you keep racing all your life to prove that you are the fastest?”

“Hmm. I didn’t think about it.

I don’t want to race all my life.”

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to sleep under a banyan tree on a makeshift pillow while the leaves rustle and the bees buzz.

I want to hop over the meadows near the hills and swim in the pond.”

“You can do all these things this very moment.

Forget the race.

You are here today but you will be gone tomorrow.”

I woke up from my sleep.

The ducks in the pond looked happy.

I jumped into the pond, startling them for a moment.

They looked at me quizzically.

“Weren’t you supposed to be racing with the tortoise today?”

“It’s pointless.

An exercise in futility.

All I want is to be here.

Hopefully, someday, someone will tell the world my story ,

Live life to the fullest
Today, tomorrow and always

Listen to “Bernie Siegel MD,NY Times Bestselling Author's Novel on Past Lives and the Enduring Power of Love!” on Spreaker.

Bernie Siegel MD’s 19th book underscores there are no coincidences and as Jung said, “The future is unconsciously created long in advance.” 

Dr. Bernie Siegel broke new ground with his monumental book Love, Medicine and Miracles. Today Bernie continues to impart wisdom about the true nature of life and love through his 19th book, an entertaining and enlightening debut fiction novel Three Men, Six Lives.

A grand adventure born of Bernie’s experience of his current and past lives and his deep knowledge of the power of enduring love awaits you!

Dr. Brian Weiss, NY Times bestselling author of the preeminent book on reincarnation Many Lives, Many Masters says this about Bernie and Three Men, Six Lives:

“I have known Dr. Bernie Siegel since the 1960’s, when I was a medical student at Yale, and he was a mentor of mine on the surgical faculty. He was then and has constantly remained a boundless source of kindness, empathy, and wisdom. Three Men, Six Lives is his latest contribution to the evolution of medicine and psychiatry and to the transformative power of love as the ultimate healer.

Timeless wisdom flows from the mouths of Bernie’s characters in this important and entertaining book. Concepts of spiritual psychotherapy, past lives, and the fearless courage born of unconditional love and awakened consciousness are carefully explored. I highly recommend Three Men, Six Lives to you.”

Bernie says “I wrote this book to help us all understand that we are more than our bodies and that life is truly a mystical event. Once we leave our bodies, time no longer exists for our consciousness. Thus consciousness can retain the experience of a past lifetime but have no effect upon any lives until it becomes a part of a living person’s consciousness. Then it can play a role in their life and the lives of the people they interact with.

I have lived this truth and so have many others and when we accept the truth and let it educate us it becomes an asset and therapeutic for us all versus confusing and self destructive.”

As a physician caring for people with life threatening illnesses Bernie has learned the power of the mind, faith, and enduring love. This book and the six engaging characters are a culmination of (they are!) Bernie and his life and past life experiences and a beautiful and engaging guide of the eternal nature of the soul.
