I do not wish to slay these, O Madhusudana, even if they strike me down — not even for the lordship of all three worlds, let alone for this earth.

The Bhagavad Gita, translated and commentated by S. Radhakrishnan, is one of the most scholarly and accessible English renderings of Hinduism's most beloved scripture — the dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Radhakrishnan, philosopher and statesman, brings both rigorous intellectual insight and genuine spiritual depth to his translation and notes. This edition is treasured for its ability to illuminate the Gita's universal spiritual teaching across cultural and philosophical boundaries.

Same theme, different voices
The mind does not become tranquil until it is connected to the ever-peaceful Supreme Being.
It's sad to see many people who, despite their soul wanting to rest in this peaceful and quiet state, filled with God's peace and refreshment, disturb their tranquility and lead it away to external things, retracing their steps to no avail, and abandoning their goal for the means that led them there, which are meditations.
The master spirit of the earth will not rest peacefully in the wind until the needs of the most vulnerable among you are met.
