You see, there is no need to read too much of the scriptures. If you read too much you will be inclined to reason and argue. Nangta used to teach me thus: What you get by repeating the word ‘Gita’ ten times is the essence of the book. In other words, if you repeat ‘Gita’ ten times it is reversed into ‘tagi’ which indicates renunciation.

The essence of the Gita is: ‘O man, renounce everything and practice spiritual discipline for the realization of God.’
