Excerpt from The Bhagavad-Gita, or the Lord's Song: With the Text in Devanagari and an English Translation
It is a scripture of Yoga: now Yoga is literally union, and it means harmony with the divine Law, the becoming one with the divine Life, by the subdual of all outward-going energies. To reach this, balance must be gained, equilibrium, so that the self, joined to the Self, shall not be affected by pleasure or pain, desire or aversion, or any of the pairs of opposites between which untrained selves swing.

Excerpt from The Bhagavad-Gita, or the Lord's Song: With the Text in Devanagari and an English Translation
As though to make the lesson more impressive, it was given on a field of battle. Arjuna, the warrior prince, was to vindicate his brother's title, to destroy a usurper who was oppressing the land; it was his duty as prince, as warrior, to fight for the deliverance of his nation and to restore order and peace. To make the contest more bitter, loved comrades and friends stood on both sides, wringing his heart with personal anguish, and making a conflict of duties as well as phy sieul strif Could he slay those to whom he owed love and duty, and trample on ties of kindred?
To break family ties was a sin; to leave the people in cruel bondage was a sin; where was the right way? Justice must be done, else law would be disregarded but how slay without sin The answer is the burden of the book: Have no personal interest in the event; carry out the duty imposed by the position in life, realise that Ishvara, at once Lord and Law is the doer, working out the mighty evolution that ends in bliss and peace; be identified with Him by devotion, and then perform duty as duty, fighting without passion or desire, without anger or haired; thus activity forges no bonds, Yoga is accomplished and the soul is free.
