Mental Transformation through Poetry

How is it that in ancient India, almost all treatises, whether in the field of science, mathematics, medicine, or literature, even dictionaries, were composed in poetry? Swamiji explains the benefits of reading poetry, how it re-organizes the mind and instills the qualities we want. One may not have the qualities initially, but chanting the poetry produces the joy equal to the attainment. Isn’t it a wonderful vehicle for transformation?

Slokas chanted in the track

सहनं सर्वदुःखानामप्रतीकारपूर्वकम् ।
चिन्ताविलापरहितं सा तितिक्षा निगद्यते ॥
(Vivekachudamani 24)
