My Books - A Soul Friend

                                                                         Books

Books are packed with knowledge, they give you life lessons, and they teach you about hardships, love, fear, and every little thing that is a part of life. Books have been here for centuries and contain the knowledge of our past, civilizations, and cultures.

 

How we treat friends and who are our friends.  This is not a difficult question to ask.  We all have friends. Love for animals in Europe and US is mostly seen for Cats, for them, cats are their best friend but for a few of them not all. for many, they treat dogs as their best friend.  This goes with living creations but there are some amazing things about non-living things like cars, Phones, TV, bikes, houses, etc.  

Yesterday, I was watching a famous TV serial " Tarak Mehta ka Ulta Chasma".  You must know about the Poppet Lal. He is in the character of a journalist. He always carries an Umbrella with him. He is treating his umbrella as his best freind. In one episode, Poppet organizes a birthday party for celebrating the tenth birthday of his umbrella. At this event, Poppet was mocked by his guest as it was suspense kept by him and guests were of at no clue whom birthday Poppet is celebrating, but when a member of Gokuldham society came to know that this birthday party is organized by Poppet for his Umbrella they laugh at him saying how an umbrella can be a friend of someone. Strange for those who take it as a kind of psychological imbalance.  but for normal people it is fact. Friends are friends, we can't compare them with their shape, and size. We like their sentiments and belongingness. The same is with our mindset. 

In the same reference, we must have heard many times that Books are our best friends.  I can say that they were right.  Books are best friends because it helps us to learn new things about life and life behavior. We learn academics from these books, learn spirituality and read stories of our past, and history. Books help us make our future the best we want. 

There are a few books which I like the most : 

1. Think and Grow Rich
2. Rich Dad Poor Dad
3. As a Man Thinketh
4. The Power of Your Subconscious mind

Here is a little library of my choice. 

During covid time  I bought many books and in fact, I got time to read them all.  I never read books 5 years back but when I first read the Book " The Power of your subconscious mind, I learn and understand the importance of books in my life.  When you sit in your chair and take a book soulfully, you will see the magic. You will feel that someone like a teacher is sitting in front of you, guiding you on the subject and you are following his instruction.  This way Books are the silent Guru, the mentor.  

I am managing my books in my way in the following tabular form. Stating the name of the book, its author, MRP , Nos of Pages, and  Number on the book. I put numbers on each book so that I could know if any books is not on the shelf.  This is my way of keeping.  Maybe your way is more systematic and IT-driven. 

The purpose of demonstrating the books here is to show how important they are to me and how I used to keep them on my reading table.
