Reading Worthless Books makes life Purposeless


The teachings of Baba to His devotees are clearly worded, precise and are simply understood. But we make them complex with our immature knowledge. Under illusion, we think we are well-informed. With that intellectual pride, we make life meaningless by turning a deaf ear to Baba's words and engage in desultory reading. While some people fail to fully comprehend Baba's message, others attribute undue meanings and declare that they cannot follow them. 


When a devotee displayed his learning with a sense of pride that Baba did not read much, Baba questioned him about some content of the text. The devotee was tongue-tied. Baba, the Omniscient One, humbled him and made him spiritually enlightened. 


We should read spiritual books for enlightenment and put into practice Baba's teachings. They should become our guides. Then we get an unbiased vision. Arrogance dies. Spiritual wisdom is far better than worldly knowledge. By serving a Perfect Master with undeviating devotion and dedication, we could gain that wisdom in a wink. When spiritual books that explain the path of rectitude in a lucid manner are easily available, let us not waste our precious time in reading worthless books. Instead, let us understand and apply the simple teachings of Baba and make our lives worthier and happier.
