Doing Meditation, reading books on Meditation, listening to others' Meditational Experiences, these are the three grand requirements in the Full Practice of Meditation.
Everybody should read more of Buddha's Teachings... the wonderful four Noble Truths. The Middle Path and the Eight-fold Path are the quintessence of Buddha's teachings. Everybody should read the New Testament of Jesus Christ. Everybody should read the Bhagawad Gita. We should methodically incorporate all their teachings in our daily lives.
How can we lift our own soul-level, It all happens through practice of meditation; it becomes possible by reading right books; and it becomes possible through constant sajjanasangatya.
We should request everyone to read the books of great masters like Rajneesh, Richard Bach, Lobsang Rampa, Carlos Castaneda, Leadbeater, Yogananda Paramahansa, and Swami Rama.
A student of spirituality must read all the books of all the spiritual masters. We miss out so many things if we don't read all the books of all the masters.
