Hi ,
Some years back I was going through a very low phase in life...personally and professionally...certain unexpected incidents had shaken up my self confidence and I became very weak emotionally and mentally ...you can say I was almost in a state of depression ...I wasn't sure what future holds in for me and my fears and insecurities were all time high. During that phase, one of my relative gifted me this book ..she noticed the change in me and said this book might make things easy....at first I thought she is being dramatic....and how a religious holy book will help me anyways...but since I love reading and practically I wasn't doing anything ...I tired to give it a shot to pass time.
At first I couldn't understand anything ...it was so complicated and the English language used for translation was so high , I mean dictionary rakhti thi main saath mein otherwise I used to all go
I had to read the sentences and slokas many times to understand and process them .Slowly as I started reading in routine and then I just got attached to it ...this book is full of knowledge on spirituality, psychology, relationshops , emotional and mental strength...the essence of humanity and so many more topics ...more than anything it explains the entire science behind this universe , its laws of existence and destruction...in such a detailed manner ...I was thrilled to read so many concepts and principles and with each passing day I started getting answers for my questions....not in literal sense But u need to understand and practice the principles....it takes time so be patient.
..this might sound unreal but I have seen my life changing to a whole new level ..it gave my confidence and success back .. no no this book didn't show me a way out of my problems in literal sense but it made me mentally and emotionally stronger than I ever was to deal with my problems and face them without fears or insecurities. It's all in our mind and this book teaches us to control our mind , thoughts and emotions so well. Ultimately when you have a better mindset, you deal with things in a better way and automatically life also changes.
It just helped me connected with my inner self all over again.It definitely made me a human being with better wisdom ...the positive energy and inner peace that I feel is something that I can't even describe in words...
It's definitely not an ordinary self help book throwing pearls of wisdom here and there ...its something that you will understand and admire only once you read , understand and apply its principles to some extent.
I still haven't completed the whole book ...I feel it's not something u can complete reading in one go ... it's too heavy to process so I prefer reading just a page or two once in a while ....
So definitely a must must read ...
If u r really interested...try reading the detailed versions instead of summaries.
Also it's better to have a little bit of knowledge on mahabharat and arjun and the state that he was in when the book was narrated to him ...it will help u to understand things in a better way
Good luck
