should study it. If we want to read the story people without knowing the first thing of man's intellectual development and the about medicine. If an ignorant person tries emotional changes he undergoes, we can to cure himself he will just get worse. With study it in books. The knowledge gained by svadhyaya and self-improvement, we can these seers came through many hardships learn how to heal ourselves. Svadhyaya is the over a long period of time, but it is easily only way to becoming your own guru. By accessible to us in the form of literature. A absorbing the wisdom of the sages, our little effort on our part enables us to thinking becomes refined. That is why I understand the wisdom of the ages. All we would like to suggest that we follow the need to do is to read our scriptures regularly practice of svadhyaya regularly to enhance and so establish a system of svadhyaya our knowledge and enrich our lives. (introspective self-study) again.
One does not gain knowledge by becoming I think religious education is very necessary a guru. To be a guru, one has to become a today. Proper guidance in this field brings a disciple first. Being a disciple means being breath of culture and refinement into curious and having a thirst for knowledge. It people's lives. We talk a lot about faith, means that a sense of worthiness is worship, meditation and religious beginning to grow within the person. Once observances, yet we forget what instilled one gains inner worthiness, then one is able that faith, inspired that worship, motivated to be a guru. Religious education increases that meditation and hallowed those our eligibility and fitness to do this. It observances in the first place. Philosophy, enhances our capacity for gaining the study of the essence of things, did all this knowledge. What I want to say is, if you for us and now we shamefully neglect it. If wish to follow both science and religion, we attempt to get to the truth without you must practice svadhyaya. Self-study gives proper svadhyaya or introspective self- us vision, intelligence and a sense of knowledge, it will be like trying to cure responsibility. It inculcates true values in us.
