| We should understand what we must skip while reading. There is already paucity of time! We should not waste time reading such boring literature when there are so many other things to read about including process of meditation, beautiful incidents from the lives of saints, some beautiful poetry, etc.
Every living species is truly a masterpiece creation. Every part of each of the species is so very well designed that even an atheist would nod his head in appreciation. Right from a tiny virus to the human species. What can we say about the human body? He who must have thought of this human body architecture could only be God himself.
People tend to focus on acquiring more and more physical pleasures and in turn fail to concentrate on development of the mind. Hence all the boring literature must have been written to divert one’s mind from the body and encourage people to remain in higher states of consciousness. All this literature is not of much use. Even chanting it several times has not made anyone’s mind devoid of the sense of physical being. Human mind and heart does not like to keep detesting the body. There are several instances in mythological literature where in the human body is criticized. But in today’s times, it may not be wise to follow the same obsolete process. It will not have any effect on anybody. We should omit such literature and read only that which is appropriate and beautiful.
