Guest guest Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 "In the word Gita, there are two parts 'GI' and 'TA'. 'GI' indicates sacrifice and 'TA' indicates spirituality. Therefore, this book, Gita teaches us both sacrifice and the real nature of the soul. If we understand the spirit of the Gita, we will know that it has taught us that the most important trait of a human being should be sacrifice. The Gita has also taught us what kind of sacrifice it is. It should be 'Karma Phala Thyaga' or sacrifice of the fruits of the deeds we do. The Gita never taught us that we should give up action. It has taught us to do everything, undertake every action for the pleasure of God, and never desire for the fruits thereof ".- From Swami's Divine Discourse in Brindavan - May'1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
