I remembered a story. A few days ago, I read in English Quora.
A long time ago, a guru lived with his disciples. One day a new disciple came to Gurukul and asked, Gurudev, we read so many books, but I don't remember anything. Everything is forgotten. So why read so many books?
Gurudev did not answer after hearing this. He remained silent, then said, "Come to me tomorrow morning."
The new disciple came to the gurukula with much enthusiasm before sunrise the next morning.
Gurudev handed the disciple a very old rusty sieve. He said to fetch water from the side well with that grate. The disciple did not like the matter, but what else can be done, the guru says, cannot be disobeyed. So he went out to the well with the rusty grate.
Most of the leaks were closed due to rust. So at first a little water was stuck. But on the way to Gurudev's house, the water was falling. When he finished reading the water, he had to go to the well again to fill it.
Anyway, at least I didn't go down without explaining myself first. The sun is then overhead. Trying since that morning. Regmege's head also became very hot. I thought what a meaningless job Gurudev had given him. Without water, he reached the ashram house with a grate in his hand. When Gurudev asked about water, the disciple said, "Gurudev, there is no water in this leaking vessel."
Gurudev laughed a little and said, "Take a good look at the pot, disciple." Do you understand the difference?
The disciple did not pay attention for so long. Hearing the guru's words, he noticed that the grate had become very clean. Shining. The filth is washed away little by little every time you draw water.
Gurudev said this time. The same is true of reading books.
Unused old grating = human mind
River water = book knowledge
River = bookstore
Apparently I don't remember anything after reading many books. There is no point in thinking for him. Purity of human mind is attained while reading. Invisible to human consciousness. Every time a book is read, people's subconscious mind improves. Do it a little bit.
Thanks.
Be careful. Stay healthy.
This is good thanks
