What Is The Importance Of Reading In This Digital Era?

Reading is one of the most popular and beneficial habits of all time. Daily reading of 20-30 minutes is believed to boost emotional well-being, improve communication skills, aside from expanding one’s knowledge. This article outlines the numerous benefits of reading and also focuses on the one form of reading each individual must imbibe for a trouble-free and a truly successful life.

Is reading necessary at all?

Reading is not an attractive hobby to all. Many find it intimidating too. With the advent of podcasts and audio books, the popularity of reading has diminished further. But the question still hangs in balance, is reading necessary at all? The numerous benefits of reading as a habit definitely endorse this habit. Besides, having an actual book to read, is highly recommended to break free from greater device exposure. 

Benefits of reading

Intellectual engagement

Just as workout is essential to keep the body fit, reading is recommended to maintain the brain’s optimum functionality. Studies also suggest that regular reading can reduce the risk of cognitive decline. It is believed to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills by exposing the brain to new ideas and perspectives. Reading can also improve concentration skills.

Enhances linguistic skills

Reading enhances one’s vocabulary, understanding of speech and writing techniques. It is highly recommended not just for individuals in the linguistics field but also for those who seek to improve their language and oration skills.

Reduces stress and anxiety 

Reading provides a diversion from daily activities and is suggested as a gateway from stressful life. However, choosing the right book is paramount. Books like Gyan Ganga and Way of Living, authored by Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, not only offer the most path-breaking solutions to all problems in human life, but also give a perspective to the origin of those problems.

Increased awareness 

Reading is not restricted to just books. One can read anything and everything. For example, reading food labels makes us aware about the ingredients gone into creating that food article. Similarly, reading the newspaper gives us an outlook on current news and nationwide events.

Increased creativity 

Books can foster creativity as they expose an individual to a plethora of ideas. For example, books on art and craft disciplines provide a new dimension to an individual’s thought process and improve understanding of how to apply those techniques to create an artwork. 

Reading before bedtime

Reading is more beneficial than scrolling on the phone as it reduces screen time and aligns an individual more on a singular subject. A great option would be a book like Gyan Ganga that fills one with hope of finding solutions to their problems and gaining positivity, thereby aiding better sleep.

Wisdom for Life

The genre that interests most is fiction, perceiving it as an escape from the monotony and harsh reality of life. But, what if the life you consider as a reality is the most conceited form of fiction? Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj reveals death to be the biggest, inescapable reality of life. This precious human life is filled with enough distractions to mask the steadily approaching death. One may wonder what connection does death have with reading as a habit? Just like reading is important to understand the various facets of material life, similarly, it is crucial to understand the lesser-known aspects of the precious human life that is meant to end one day.

The Best Self-Help Book 

What is the purpose of self-help books? They claim to help us know our lives better and support us in areas we struggle through advice and suggestions. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj divulges the true, singular goal of human life is to seek salvation. However, most individuals look for inspiration through books to succeed in the material world hence leaving the quest for salvation unfulfilled. To uncover the most effective path to salvation and safeguard yourself against the pitfalls, read the book ‘Way of Living’ by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj here:
