Arjuna said: Your birth was later, and the birth of Vivasvan was earlier. How, then, am I to understand that you taught this in the beginning?

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
Time is more precious than money, and more valuable than anything in the world. It's the greatest treasure, the essence of life. Use time wisely for spiritual growth, and don't waste a single moment.
We can't find lasting comfort in temporary things, just as a child can't be comforted by sweets alone, but only by a parent's love. For lasting happiness, we must recognize and understand our eternal parent, God.
God is the enduring one, and everything else is transient.
If the soul is to know God, it must know Him outside time and place, since God is neither in this or that, but One and above them.
