God: The Best Friend & Guide by Jaydip Das
3.0
"Ignorance is bliss, Enlightenment is bliss, inbetween there's struggle."
God: Best friend and Guide follows the journey of an unnamed narrator, and his conversation regarding hardships and turns in life with another detailed less character name "Ganga".
The conversations, cover everything in the life of the narrator, beginning from his school life, and his first experience introduction to the world of spirituality - through a book by Vivekananda to his corporate life, and then his search for the true meaning of life through various sources he meets in the course of his life.
The book has been divided into 21 chapters, each chapter depicting an experience of the narrator, and by the end of it, concluding what did he learnt and how did he convinced himself that in the end, everything is supported by the god he's kept faith in.
Overall, the writing is engaging, and since the subject is spirituality in modern day corporate employee's life, there's very less chance for the readers to get bored while reading. Since, the story is a part retelling of the author's own life experiences, I don't think there's much to comment about it. Showcasing the life and aspirations of an IT professional in the most real and possible way is what I appreciate so much. And, usage of Sanskrit verses in the middle to justify that everything is related to God is a smart move. It's quite impressive.
If you're an atheist and doesn't believe in God and spirituality, you can totally avoid it. Because throughout reading this book, all you'd be doing is rolling your eyes or scoffing. Because I did. I'm an atheist.
Do I recommend this?
Yes, people with interest in this subject can absolutely read it. It may as well work as a self-help book for you.
