Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha,

Sri Velukkudi Swami has beautifully graced answer in Enpani #1727, about what should be our goal when reading a book, the book should tell about BhagavAn’s Kalyana Gunas, which triggers us a Preethi towards BhagavAn, which inturn should lead us to Kainkaryam. Such book is useful for Athma Ujjivanam. If our focus is to find fault with BhagavAn while reading a book, then our mentality is not good and we will find fault with any book that we read.

So Swami says We can do self assessment while reading the book about our goal/focus when reading a book, and the book should tell about BhagavAn’s Kalyana Gunas, which triggers in us a Preethi towards BhagavAn, which inturn should lead us to Kainkaryam. Such book is useful for Athma Ujjivanam.
