Stories appeal more to emotions than actions

How Story-Telling Became a Vedic Tool

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are presented in the synagogue, church, and mosque as God's instructions to humanity on how to live life. In recent times, a new group of Hindu missionaries, who first appeared during India's national movement, is following the same path of instruction-based 'Satsangs; but it is hardly institutional, for Hinduism is not commandment-based. It is story-based; and stories, unlike instructions, appeal more to emotions than actions.

Animals do not tell each other stories. Humans do - for entertainment, for propaganda, for memory and history transmission, and, most importantly, for meaning. Stories transmitted over generations serve as the glue of a community.

This is why Christianity is established by two stories that are repeated twice a year: in springtime, the story of the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection; and in winter, the story of his birth. In Shia Islam, the story that glues the people together is the martyrdom of the Prophet's family. The ritual of Ramazan is a reminder of a story of when the angel of God communicated God's will to Muhammad, the final prophet for Muslims.

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।

हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
