Bhagavad Gita Quotes

The Wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita:



Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace. 

Neither in this world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts.

Action is greater than inaction. Perform therefore thy task in life. Even the life of the body could not be if there were no action.


When the sage climbs the heights of Yoga, he follows the path of work; but when he reaches the heights of Yoga, he is in the land of peace.


Whenever the mind unsteady and restless strays away from the spirit, let him ever and for ever lead it again to the spirit.


No work stains a man who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
