What's the biggest secret to solving your life's problems?
What's the best way to influence people?
What is the best way to change yourself?
If these questions are your concerns then you need to start reading the shastras, at the earliest date possible.
Don't worry if you are not able to Read any shastras for the first time.....These books are ancient and they need to be respected the way they are presented to us....
These books are the best books you will ever hold in your entire life....
These books will change your viewpoint or perspective....These books will help you influence others.....These books will change you for the best.....These books will purify you about problems and your worries...
Once you read the Gita you will understand that money, power, respect, fame, or any attribute you would like to acquire are meaningless....If you are worried or not happy about certain things in life then you will get rid of such concerns and will move fiurther in your life....
if there is anything worth respecting then it is this life that is given to us by Supreme God......life will change once you read Gita because it is God's poem and it is not just reading once but it is worth repeatedly reading every year.....
I can guarantee that once you finish Gita then you will not be able to postpone reading the other shastras....The Gyan in these books is amazing and it will definitely take your life further ahead to the next level....
If life can become meaningful then why not live this wonderful experience in the world......why not nourish this meaningful life in the way the saints, the devotees relish and be in high spirits....
Nobody is worthless, no work is dull, everything has its value and must be respected.
A lot of times people think why I am poor, why can't I become like him, no, stop, don't get hatred, jealousy, bitterness, or any other quality that makes you feel low...after reading Gita all these emotions will disappear.....
Srimad Bhagavatam is another good read because it has the lessons of Kaliyuga.....Srila Prabhupada has written this wonderful 12 Cantos for people in modern times.....it is read by many people and will guide you in the right way to whatever that concerns you....
If you think life is not gonna be better for you then wait a second, don't be like that, read the shastras....read these books and see what have you been doing in life, what have you been concerned about.....What change can you bring about in your life.....
Don't get any negative emotions in your life.....hatred, jealousy, bitterness, grief, etc.....These emotions don't necessarily have to be in your life, they can be avoided, they can be eliminated from your life...Try reading the shastras.....
Okay....If all this sounds hypothetical try reading a pocket size book about Gita......This is not gonna leave you just harmonious but will awaken a curiosity about the shastras, and you will definitely say what else is there in these shastras....how can I read more about God and his pastimes and his avatars in mortal world..
Life will change for the betterment of you and people around you.....life will become harmonious if you read the Poem of God...
The best way to experience these books is to start making a plan by reading a book....read with a planned schedule....see how long it takes you to Read one page....keep a timer.....calculate how many pages can be read in one hour....how many days will it take you to Read one chapter and how many days will it take you to Read one book, plan it and move ahead in life at the earliest day possible....
These books have the best writers and they can't be easily compared to any other authors.....Srila Prabhupada, Swami Ramsujkhdasji, and many other authors of Gitapress are not some ordinary people, they were offered obeisances by many people and they in turn offered obeisances to their Swamis.....So The disciplic succession is respected....and they deserve the greatest respect that can be given...
Life will become harmonious if you understand the words of Gita......The words and shlokas are difficult to understand but the meaning is given and they will deeply influence you and adapt you for the betterment of you and people who you relate with...
So if you think that life is worthless, or you have greivances, or you have any kind of jealousy, or any other emotion that makes you feel low then they will be surely eliminated from your life for good....
Now you may ask that how can life change with just one Gita.....
Gita will enlighten you once, you will definitely say I was wrong about certain things in life and my attitude towards them....
If you read Gita once and If it creates a positive change once then it can be read again and again till nothing makes you feel low in life and helps you get back to the right track over and over again.....
When you feel low, read the Gita again.....and again, and if you want more you have Srimad Bhagavatam, then the Puranas, which have right stories to get you back on track with new rhythm.....
The Vedas have the prayers of God and will get you to back in track with a new round of excitement.
Then you have a lot of books on Krishna, Shakti, Ganesh, Shiva, Hanuman, or any other God that you would like to Read about.
So if you think that you have done it all and you have nothing else left to conquer, see if you can read the shastras, see if it makes you even more better than you imagined....
Life has its ups and downs, but when you become even-minded about them then you have The right attitude towards life and all the other influences in life...
Life is not gonna be like this forever, once you get into Krishna Consciousness, you will take your life to a blissful experience and will conquer all the challenges in life....and they will take you even more further than ever before....
If there is something in life that is worthy of possession then it is the faith in God and his devotees, they will be the life's greatest possessions and will be worthy even in next life or attaining moksha......
Life will become better for good for the betterment of you. If we focus on what's important and what is trivial...you have filtered out the noise from your life and you will see the world with a new perspective. If there will be a gain then it is this change that will motivate you to make your life blissful.
If you won't change and adapt to the important things in life then you will only be frustrated with your life for days, or months, but when you adapt to the important things your life will sort out in the best manner you could even imagine it to be.
Life must be lived the way it's given to us in shastras, one wrong image or reputation can become a disaster, and make you look like a monkey juggling across branches of life's events......Don't let it come to that....it's only going to embarass you......
Life must not be controlled with your wishes and worldly objects....it's only going to make a monkey out of you and your attitude towards them....If you really want to attain something in Life then it is Bhakti, Seva towards God's devotees....and your viewpoint towards life.
There is nothing wrong with wishes, you can acquire them and have an experience of such objects.....but what if it makes you even more worse, how would that make you sound or seem like, don't let it boil down to that.....Life is precious and so are the shastras given to us...if you want to ask something from God then ask for moksha, and If God denies that then next ask for his Bhakti.
If you want respect, earn your respect first by doing Bhakti, or helping others and living life the way it's given to us in shastras.
Life is not a race, don't run behind worldly objects or experiences.
If you want to achieve something in life then get the respect of people by reading these shastras and following them on a day to day basis.
The only way to show people that you have become successful then it is by following these shastras. This is going to be your life's greatest mission and will help you achieve anything worthwhile pursuing.....
