It has been said in the Gita - "Knowledge of freedom is not possible", that is, liberation is not possible without knowledge. There are mainly two ways of attaining knowledge - Satsangati and 'Swadhyay'. Tulsidasji said, while saying the glory of the Sattangati, "Bin Satsang Vivek Naa Hai", but the attainment of the Sattva Sangit is dependent on Ramkupa. If God is pleased, then person will get satsangati.
But books are readily available everywhere. Important sources of knowledge are books. Today's world's oldest books are also available to us. There is abundant literature available in every language. Each person can expand his knowledge horizons by studying according to his ability.
There was an era when the publication of books was not possible. The medium of knowledge was the voice. More food items were available. The compositions on which the compositions were written. But after the invention of the printing press in today's era, the thoughts of sages, philosophers, thinkers and writers are available in printed form. Therefore, we can make our life corrupt by studying them.
There is no bad disease with unwise. That's why it has been said - better alone than a bad company That is, solitary confessions are far more perfect. The books are co-operatives of solitary. They are our friends who in turn do not want anything from us. He educates the life of this people and improves the life of the world.
It is 100 percent true that the books are our best friends. They are not our never-failing companions Books can be our guide, philosopher and teacher when we are in trouble and do not know what to do, we should take guidance from books. Books are far from the most enduring products of human endeavor. The temple gets destroyed in waste, painting and statues, but books survive. The time does not destroy the great ideas that are as fresh as today when they first passed through the ages before the writer's mind. So what did he think and said that still tells us clearly from the printed pages.
The only effect of time has been to eliminate bad products from the currency, because nothing can be done in the literature but what is really good. They stand in every tragedy and sadness as Mahatma Gandhi says that when I was in trouble, I got the adoption of Mother Geeta to get the consolation. By Mata Gita, they mean Bhagavad Gita, the great gospel of truth, from the mouth of Lord Krishna, to his friend Arjun. All the great books of the world, such as Ramayana, Geeta, Koran and Bible etc. are beneficial for us and show us the path in the darkness.
