Self-help and spiritual books have flooded the market. This is a top-selling genre, outselling thrillers and murder mysteries, biographies and autobiographies. The BRAHMA KUMARIS discuss how reading such books makes us better versions of ourselves
Let’s dive straight into the manifold benefits of reading spiritual and allegorical books that help us lead better, more productive and gainful lives. It is a super, beneficial hobby that will always bring you pleasure, knowledge and a true companion. Reading maybe a hobby for a few, but it should be one for everyone as it improves our knowledge and allows us to gain new ideas. Whenever one is alone, reading can prove to be a useful companion. After all, knowledge is power, especially when that knowledge pertains to self-improvement.
How you read matters
When you are reading something, you could find that you are reading in either one of two ways, mostly. It could be either skimming or reading with interest. If you read with interest, everything you read gets registered within you and no one can ever take that learning away from you. That is why so many people have been able to turn their life around when they read something powerful and motivating.
Read, then walk the talk
When you get into the habit of reading, you can’t just stop reading as you start gaining new knowledge all the time and you want to keep knowing more and more. Reading gives you new things to discuss and when you read something that you find can soon be true for you, you will talk about it and share it with others. In that sense, you will walk the talk and reinforce the ideas you have read about.
Reading leads to better communication
Reading allows you to express yourself better. Sometimes, we feel stuck while expressing ourselves, but reading opens up our mind and gives us more clarity of thought in our interactions with others. In this way, we can learn to enhance our relationships.
Reading helps us to change others
Reading opens up many career options as well. You can become a writer, trainer, teacher or a counselor. Reading grows you mentally and allows you to keep pace with the everchanging thought patterns of the world which can help you in reaching out and helping people to become better.
Brahma Kumaris is the largest spiritual organisation in the world led by women. It was the founder, Prajapita Brahma Baba, who chose to put women in the forefront. Founded in India in 1937, Brahma Kumaris has spread to over 140 countries and has had an extensive impact in many sectors as an international NGO. However, their real commitment is to helping individuals transform their perspective of the world from material to spiritual.
