REAL BENEFITS FROM GREAT WRITINGS

Doubtless, there exists, in this great world, in abundant measure, great and inspiring writings besides specific injunctions on worth-while living. The question however arises, " Are these truly and practically applicable ? " The answer to this is yes or no, depending on how these are put to use and applied.

When such resources are read merely fot titllating the intellect or plain entertainment, the result could, at best, be a temporary motivation. Sooner or later, the person concerned could slip back, thereby limiting the scope of these resources to mere theory or just pleasant literature.

However, when the seeking aspirant, after identifying those pieces of writing or exposures, which would suit him best, integrates these in his personality, these could transform his very nature. He would thus obtain immense practical benefits, from within and without. By harmonising the different aspects within and thus being " in touch " with his real self, he commences to touch the lives of others too, radiating clarity, cheer and warmth all over, obtaining also for himself effectiveness, harmony and clarity in his prorities.

This also is the process of knowledge being translated into experience, in line with the biblical concept of " faith and works "

In fact, inspiring writings and great books assume newer and greater dimensions, especially when these are savoured more than once. Exchanging ideas and discussions in the earnest company of those, who are spurred with that urge for creative and effective living ( satsang ), is also a powerful aid in this regard.

These indeed abound all over for the benefit of the aspiring individual !
