Reading text and inventing acronyms for key concepts is a way of summarising the text through active and analytical reading leading to active memorisation and recall.
"Inventing acronyms can be a helpful mnemonic device for remembering information. By creating pronounceable words from the first letters of key terms, you can create a memorable hook to recall larger concepts or lists. This technique engages your brain in a different way, aiding in the memorization process,” informs an AI Overview on 'inventing acronyms to understand a topic'.
Here's the process to invent acronyms for active learning and remembering:
Identifying Key Terms or Concepts > Extracting Initial Letters > Forming an Acronym > Practicing for Internalization
The Bhagavad Gita can be summarized by AID Acronyms depicting three paths to self-realisation.
A: Action Path (Karma Yoga): Practice and imbibing of detached action
I: Intellectual Path (Gyan Yoga): Interaction with original and authentic scriptures or gurus to develop higher thinking skills such as critical-creative thinking, synthesis, self-reflection, contemplation, intuition, etc., leading awakening to Existential Truth
D: Devotional Path (Bhakti Yoga): Living a life of commitment and contentment with surrender to Supreme Soul or God or doing things to please God that resides within all of humanity.
