The Importance of Reading the Scriptures “You should read all this. Don’t read. In the first volume of the Bhagavatam these things are explained. But I don’t think you read all this. Do you read? So if you don’t read, then you’ll feel anxious: ‘Oh, let me go from Japan to India, from India to Japan.’ You’re anxious because you don’t read. I’m struggling so much for you, but you don’t take advantage of the opportunity. Don’t just take advantage of eating and sleeping. Take advantage of these books. Then your life will be successful. My duty has given you such valuable things, day and night trying to convince you, word by word. And if you don’t take advantage of this, then what can I do for you?”
