How to read any book?
Friends, what is best
source to store knowledge? It is undoubtedly the books. But now the technology
has become fast much information is stored in the websites, YouTube videos,
eBook etc. But we cannot replace the books because we are more comfortable to read
the maximum knowledge in books only. We have practised this since childhood so
it is more joy for us to hold book and read those words.
A good book can be a
good friend of you. Our ancient time people had maximum knowledge and
experience about this world. They experienced this beautiful life and they
stored their knowledge in written form for younger generation to know what is
good and what is bad. How to live in this world? This knowledge includes autobiography
of a person which we can know how he struggles to reach this goal? He made path
for us to move in that field as easy as possible by sharing his experience.
Many times lot of people took their life biggest decision by reading books and
more over lot of people work ship the holy books and they followed all the
paths. So you can understand what we have given importance for books. For many
people book is a like a well wisher, like a motivation charger and for some it
is like a god. Many people build their life by the knowledge of books.
For reading such type
of books, we must have some dedication and devotion towards it then only the
knowledge enters to our mind. We must keep our surroundings clean, silent and
avoid distraction as much as possible. Our reading place should be like a place
for meditation. Our 100% concentration only helps us to enter the inner world
of the book. Even sun needs lens to burn paper. Same way our multiple direction
thoughts need concentration to converge and this way we can gain ultimate
knowledge.
Swami Vivekananda who
was the master of concentration managed to read a one volume of book a day and
he is memorize it for long time.
If anybody asks him any
question about that book, he used to answer word to word. This incident shocked
Akhandananda , he questioned swamiji how it is possible?
Swamiji answered, first
we have learnt the letters in our childhood and after we learnt to read words
to words. Our concentration and practise increases to read sentences by
sentences. So as the same way practising with intense concentration we can also
read paragraph by paragraph and page by page in a seconds. So it is the
practise with 100% concentration make whole page to look like a simple thing
and we can read volume of a book. This is wonderful technique.
Recollect those
readings in your mind and make down the points. Memorize those points often and
often to keep that in memory for long term. This is the way we can be mastery
of anything.
Thank you friends for
your time,
