BOOKS AND READING

 



Happy is the man who acquires the habit of reading when he is young. He has secured a life-long source of pleasure. So as long as he has his beloved book, he never feels lonely.He always has a pleasant  occupation of leisure moments, so that he need never feel bored. He is the possessor of wealth more precious than gold. Ruskin calls books, "Kings' Treasures"- treasuries  filled, not with gold,silver and precious stones, but with riches more valuable than these- knowledge , noble thoughts and high ideals.Poor indeed is the man who does not read , and empty is his life.

       The blessings which the reading habit confers on its possessor are many provided we choose the right kind of books. Reading gives the highest kind of pleasure. Some books we read simply for pleasure and amusement-for example , good novels. And novels and books of imagination must have their place in everybody's  reading. When we are tired, or the brain is weary with serious study, it is a healthy recreation to lose ourselves in some absorbing story written by a master hand. 



        But to read  nothing but books of fiction is like eating nothing  but cakes and sweetmeats . As we need plain, wholesome food for the body, so we must have serious reading for the mind . And here we can choose according to our taste . There are many noble books on history, biography  and philosophy ,religion , travel and science which we ought to read , and which will give us not only pleasure but an education. And we can develop a serious taste for reading ,so that in the end it will give us more solid pleasure than even novels and books of fiction. Nor should poetry be neglected , for the best poetry gives us noble thoughts and beautiful imaginings clothed in lovely and  musical language.


 

                     “A good book is a man's best friend. It never leaves you even in your darkest hour."  ― Sophany Thay


     Books are the most faithful of friends. Our friends may change, or die ; but our books are always patiently waiting to talk to us. They are never cross, peevish or  unwilling to converse, as our friends sometimes are. No wonder a reader becomes a "BOOK-LOVER".

Thank you so much for reading . STAY CONNECTED !!

RELIGION

source :  https://images.app.goo.gl/NDwGmSJVz6d9JDVHA Religion is the most benevolent of the gifts of god to man. God created man in his own image,a microorganism and provided for not only his physical mental development but also for his spiritual regeneration .So different seers and saints ,prophets and incarnations were born in different climes and who revealed higher secrets of his being,his relation to god and universe and the means of his spiritual development  which is the prime end of human life.The teachings of such great personalities evolved into different religious traditions  of the world.India is specially blessed with the advent of several such great pers onalities and is the home of great religions of Hinduism ,Jainism,Buddhism and Sant mat , The radhasoami faith.C hristianity and Islam which originated in Central asia, Jerusalem  and Arabia came into India early in their history and got integrated into the religious fabric of india.

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN "EURO"

Last time i shared  THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A HORSE   and i got  an exceptional response . So i'm back again with a new autobiography and this time an Euro wants to unfold its tale . so lets begin, As soon as i entered this fascinating world i was looked upon with great expectations. The world was full of racism yet i was held in high esteem . People from the United States of America to Antarctica looked at me as i  soon  rolled out from the parentage of Europeans. Since economists, raging bulls and bears did not know much about me, i caught the apprehension of my parents , the share market holders, the financial experts ,scholars, students and so on. On my birth i was placed on the lap of my mother , The Federal Bank . Frankly , my brother, Lira , my sister and my extended family members like the Deutsche Mark and the Yen were quite jealous of me . I know my worth. I reveal this secret of mine . I am a form of money held or traded outside the country , in whose c...
