How many times have we felt that what we read on spirituality, self betterment, being good and virtuous does not help us? The daily grind of life goes on as usual and we find it difficult if not impossible, to implement the good things that we read, in our daily life. Often some highly "practical" member of our family objected to our reading a spiritual book or a friend poked fun at us for reading a book on meditation, dismissing it as crap. Often shaken by their "practical" and glib tongued arguments we stop reading or worse still stop taking the good that we read less seriously.
Remember - You read for your own betterment and your own salvation. Keep reading as much good as you can because when dark days befall you , when you no longer have a foul weather friend to stand by you in your troubled times, when your near and dear ones have turned their faces away from you and when no road appears before you, it is these teachings which you have been reading all this while will slowly stir your heart and your mind and show you the way. Trust me, this is the Truth.
No matter what happens just never never give up reading good books. Who knows just one day when you decide to end your life some inspiring line from a book might save your life.
Cheers
