What is the correct rule of reading ‘Gita’? Complete knowledge is attained only after passing through these four stages.

Bhagavad Gita Path Niyam and Importance: Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta is a holy book of Hinduism. Gita has 18 chapters and 700 verses, all of which are important. The teachings that Lord Krishna gave to Arjuna in the Mahabharata is the same Gita. Soul, God, devotion, karma, life etc. have been described in detail in Gita.

We get the knowledge from Gita that a person should focus only on his work and actions. Along with this, while doing work, it should be kept in mind that whatever work we are doing, we will definitely get the result of that.

The Gita tells us what life is and how it should be lived, how the soul and the divine meet, why the understanding of good and evil is necessary. We get answers to all these mysterious questions from Gita. But the question is how to get complete knowledge of Gita and for that how many times it should be read.

There are four levels of getting knowledge from Gita or any other text-

1. auditory or reading comprehension
2. meditation knowledge
3. Nididhyasan knowledge
4. experience knowledge

Any knowledge is complete only after passing through these four levels and it gives proper benefits. This means that you read or listen first. After this, they think and meditate on the knowledge they have read and heard. If you find it right and useful, then practice it and implement it in your life and in the end you get the result of that knowledge.

You will leave any knowledge after reading or listening to it, otherwise you will adopt it, otherwise how will you get its fruit. The same thing applies to Gita as well. When we read the Gita and apply its teachings in life, then definitely the result will come out.

How many times should Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta be read and what are its benefits

• When we read Gita for the first time, we read it as a blind person. That is, we can only understand that who is whose father, who is whose sister and who is whose brother. On reading Gita for the first time, nothing more is understood than this.
• When we read Gita for the second time, some questions will arise in the mind that why was this done or why did that happen?
• When we read Gita for the third time, we will start understanding its meaning. However, every person will understand its meaning in his own way.
• When we read the Gita for the fourth time, we will be able to understand the feelings associated with each and every character. Like what is going on in Arjuna’s mind or Duryodhana’s mind.
• On reading Gita for the fifth time, the whole Kurukshetra stands in our mind and we have different imaginations in our mind.
• By reading Gita for the sixth time, we start experiencing God in front of us and we feel that God is telling all this in front of us.
• By reading Gita for the eighth time, we fully realize that Krishna is not somewhere outside but within us and we are within him.
