I have lost my sense of proportion regarding desire to read

I have now reached a stage where I have lost my sense of proportion regarding desire to read. I am simply deluged, drowned, with no sight of escape.

Moreover, when I start reading something fresh, some references for further reading surface, instinctively I go after those, and travel in wide circles.

Thank God, I have no action plan targets or limits like those we faced in the Taxation Department

Many of the links friends send are fresh to me .

Because there is no end limit for resources..

In fact, I started reading deekshiteeyam once again from start. The language is lucid, not much difficulty to translate. Then again, the time is a challenge.

And with every line in Deekshiteeyam there are references to many Shruti and smritis, and when we start to go back after those references, things become more interesting.

I marvel at the tenacity of Vaidyanatha Deekshita. a Tamil Iyer of Vadhoola Gotham, and the most valuable collection of Sanskrit books found is Ganapathy sastri’s Trivandrum Sanskrit series. It is an epoch in the history of Sanskrit literature in India.

They discovered the works of the great poet Bhasa in those stacks of books.

In addition, people often create mental turmoil too.

We have to present Certain posts faithfully simply recording the our traditional rituals, fully knowing that logic and metaphysical arguments would not hold good, and they attract adverse criticism. On history and academics, we have to quote all sources, whether we like them or not.

Therefore reading some unfair and misplaced comments often depresses me.

People commenting on Shankara and all without reading the works of the master at least rudimentarily, by just quoting some inadequate, immature quote or a quote of a quote makes life miserable.

I am just working on keeping in mind just a handful of persons, but wild and belligerent poachers attack and maul me too.

What to do. I am clueless.
