As the evening approaches, Viraj Babu sits alone on the beach, lost in himself, as if life has become colorless for him. Household problems including children's education, family members' medical expenses. All this gradually increases to such an extent that Viraj Babu becomes sad. 


It is not that he is not aware of his duty, or is shying away from duty. Everything is possible with money, if money is available, sickness, sorrow, lack, it doesn't matter to a person. And if there is a lack of money, even the speed of a small wind feels like a storm to a person.




But something similar happened in the case of Viraj Babu. His situation was such that the very branch he was holding on to with faith was breaking. Who will listen?? Heard that people would say that he is a man, crying because he could not take care of his responsibilities. They will laugh, make jokes and say things like this, because in this society, it is forbidden for men to cry.




So he quietly spent some time alone near the beach without saying anything to anyone. He was thinking of the old times, when his business was going well and he was bringing things according to everyone's wishes. How happy the family was at that time. There was no shadow of unrest. My father and mother thought of me as the light of his eyes, In that time I was the life of my children. As for my wife, she respected me so much and cared about me so much that I felt like I was the luckiest person on earth. It's not that they don't love me anymore, but I feel that time is not the same anymore. I can't even imagine when that time will come back. There is no point in blaming anyone. They were with me and extended their supporting hands, but what did I do? Now all is far from me ।




Although no one is now mine, I gradually became so depressed over the loss of the transaction that I started to get agitated for no reason, from verbal fights to shouting which gradually took me away from them. And today there is no happiness in the house and there is no peace in anyone's mind. Just like perform all person duties through acting inside the house very well. 




I still don't understand why God is punishing me so much for my which mistakes, I have to improve my business and live a good life with my family. , and that is why I need your help, Lord. My wife always worships you, listens to you and says that if someone is in trouble and prays to you with both hands raised, you listen to his call and ease his pain, show him the right path.




If I never called you, today I am praying to you, Lord! Ease my pain. Just like that, suddenly, the wind started to blow, the water of the sea came forward and created a big tide. And someone said from behind, are you in trouble?? Why bother, who lives well in this world?? . What is simple life called human life?? . There are so many hardships, so many problems and so many pains in human life. We have to face them and move forward. 




Don't know who that person is?? , what was his intention and why he came to me and said so much to me, I only understood that yes once he tried what is the harm?? In my life, I had never been interested in reading any scriptures or any mythology, but still my mind was floating in it. From there I took courage and went to buy the Bhagavad Gita according to his words. Got a kind of excitement, as if in my mind . After returning from the beach, I picked up the Gita book that I bought from the shop and started reading.




Read and read without knowing when I entered them. I was able to understand the difference between tamasic , rajwasic and satwic qualities. I realized that I had to change not only my behavior but also my food and drink. It also became clear to me that the cause of my anger was the excessive consumption of tamasic food. Which I decided to reduce gradually.




Day after day passed, and I was moving towards a gradual change that made my family at home wonder if I had really suddenly developed something miraculous. Otherwise, the person who gets angry at small things, the person who does not understand someone's mind suddenly shows a different behavior. Everyone was happy to see that I was probably getting back to normal. So now the concern was that how can I start my business again and be successful in it.




Gita book contribution to business was also not less, after reading Gita I also understood that five factors are required to complete any work. For example:- Perception, the self, the senses, various separate endeavors, the spiritual reformation of the self or destiny. Of course, after understanding all this, it was difficult for me to follow it for a few days, but gradually everything started to get better.




As the sun of the new morning brought forth the rain of happiness through its new rays, which gradually colored my colorless life. As before, I slowly started to connect with my family. Life seemed to be going on peacefully without any disagreements or conflicts. I didn't know who that great person was, who passed away from me with the knowledge of reading the Gita , so I started reading the Gita for him. There is indeed some wonderful power hidden in the book of Gita. 




It was as if the negative effects in my body were slowly receding and the positive effects were building up. All my hardships, pains and sorrows began to ease and the right path was also shown to me. The book of Gita became a very important part of my life day by day, which I never even imagined to be away from me. I could find the solution to all my problems from this book. My life changed completely under the influence of this book. I could see myself renewed. Leaving aside some negative moments in between, I became a better person than before and started moving forward on the spiritual path. 




This book played a big role in my life. After reading that, I found my way back on my right path. For that reason, it is said that books are guides and this Gita books are not only guides but also changers. By following which one can return from negativity. For which it is said, "Eat Bitter whether likes it or not, And read the Gita whether you Understanding this or not ."
