Has the Bhagavad Geeta gone through YOU?

" The Geeta is a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Upanishads. "

" When disappointment stares me in the face and all alone I see not one ray of light, I go back to the Bhagavad Geeta. I find a verse here and a verse there, and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming tragedies - and if they have left no visible, no indelible scare on me, I owe it all to the teaching of the Bhagavad Geeta. "

" The Geeta was not preached either as a pastime for persons tired out after living a worldly life in the pursuit of selfish motives, nor as a preparatory lesson for living such worldly life, but in order to give philosophical advice as to how one should live one's worldly life with an eye to Release, Moksha, and as to the true duty of human beings in worldly life. My last prayer to everyone, therefore, is that one should not fail to thoroughly understand this ancient science of the life of a householder, or of worldly life, as early as possible in one's life."

" The Geeta is a book that has worn extraordinarily well, and it is almost as fresh and still in its real substance quite as new, always renewable in experience, as when it first appeared in or was written into the frame of the 'Mahabharata'. "

" That the spiritual man need not be a recluse, that union with divine life may be achieved and maintained in the midst of worldly affairs, that the obstacles to that union lie not outside us but within us, such is the central lesson of the Bhagavad Geeta. "

" The Geeta is one of the clearest and most comprehensive summaries of the Perennial Philosophy ever to have been done. Hence its enduring value not only for Indians, but for all mankind.... The Bhagavad Geeta is perhaps the most systematic spiritual statement of the Perennial Philosophy. "
