If one would not become blinded by the ego of secular knowledge, if one would release oneself from the net of satisfaction with mere secular knowledge, then one should humbly turn towards the source of all spiritual knowledge. The wisdom treasure, in the form of the world scriptures, left by our ancients is the most priceless part of the global heritage of mankind. Rejecting the scriptures one will perish, one will go from darkness to darkness. One will go deeper into bondage and ignorance and become a source of danger to society. Scriptures embody eternal truth for the guidance of man, for the welfare of the world.
Scriptures ought to be studied reverentially.
Patanjali Maharishi laid down in his Yoga Sutras that svadhyaya should be diligently pursued by the Yogi, by the seeker, by the jijnasu and mumukshu . Thus it has been said.
