Sinopsis
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.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita, a revered Hindu scripture, exploring its timeless wisdom on yoga, duty, and the pursuit of liberation. Set against the backdrop of an epic battlefield, the author unveils the Gita's central message that spiritual enlightenment can be achieved amidst life's challenges, not through seclusion but through action and inner transformation. The author skillfully guides readers through the Gita's teachings on harmonizing the various aspects of human existence ââ â body, mind, and spirit ââ â to attain union with the divine. This book emphasizes the importance of balance, equanimity, and detachment from the fruits of one's actions, offering practical guidance for navigating life's complexities and fulfilling one's duties without attachment to outcomes. With insightful commentary, the author illuminates the Gita's teachings on self-knowledge, the nature of reality, and the path to liberation. The book explores the concepts of desire, anger, and delusion as obstacles to spiritual progress, providing tools for overcoming these challenges and attaining inner peace.

It serves as a guide for those seeking to live a life of purpose, meaning, and spiritual fulfillment, demonstrating that the path to liberation lies not in escaping the world but in transforming one's relationship to it.
