There is no benefit in reading lot of books. This may affect our determination. Our mind may go against the Shastras if our mind becomes agumentative after reading a lot. This will hamper our progress of self-realisation. 157 Shrutis, Laws, Mimansas, Shastras, Smrities, Vedas are very difficult for one to understand. Even the great Shesh who is the seat of God Vishnu shuts his thousand mouths and maintains silence on this matter. Therefore likes of us do not have any scope for ego. 158 A person is eating a very delicious food. With the last morcel he eats a fly. All the good taste of the meals is now gone. Similarly one who is egoistic cannot have any knowledge. 159 Let us not indulge in debates that make us feel sad. Let us not have the habbit of useless analysis and hair-splitting. What to teach others when we have ego with us. 160
