If you read mathematics, it will give you happiness by giving you some success, money.
00:04
If you read economics, it will be of some use to you.
00:07
Even if you read current affairs, you will gain in knowledge.
00:10
Even if you read erotica, you will at least gain some pleasure.
00:13
But Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, they give you nothing, neither success nor pleasure.
00:18
So who wants to read them?
00:19
We might worship them, but we don't want to read them.
00:21
At least try.
00:22
And when you will try, you will find that they are not giving you knowledge.
00:26
They are addressing the very person you are.
00:29
They are addressing everything that you relate yourself to.
00:33
Your name, your desires, your feelings, your choices, your livelihood, your relationships,
00:39
your family, your very existence.
00:41
Now, your very existence obviously is much more important than the technologies you know
00:47
of.
00:48
No?
00:49
What is of more importance to you?
00:50
The fact that you exist or the fact that you have knowledge about a certain technology?
00:53
Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta and all tech of wisdom address who you are.
