reading gives relief

So Arjuna says that "When I remember the teachings of Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita, then it relieves me. Then it relieves me." Hrt-tapa upasamani. Hrt-tapa, that blazing fire within the heart, immediately becomes relieved. So that is also fact. Bhagavad-gita... Whenever you are perplexed, you read Bhagavad-gita; you will immediately get relief. That's a fact. Even Gandhi also said that. Gandhi was a politician. Although he could not understand Bhagavad-gita, neither he could understand Krsna, still, he said that "When I read, I get great relief." He was always very busy, so many political problems always coming. So there was no spiritual understanding of these politicians. Sometimes they take the spiritual shelter, so-called, for getting some benefit out of it so that his political movement may be increased or enhanced. So we do not wish to discuss, but Bhagavad-gita, even if you read without any actual knowledge of the Bhagavad-gita, still, you will feel relief. Still you will feel relief. Just like if you go to the fire, you will feel some warmth. That's a fact. Even you do not know how to enjoy fire, still, because you are near the fire, you will get some warmth.    (More...)
