The Blessed Lord said: O Partha, neither here nor in the hereafter is there ruin for such a one. For truly, dear friend, no one who performs good deeds ever comes to a miserable end.

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
Just as a flower is known by its fragrance, spiritually enlightened person is known by his deeds.
Mortal sin is a rupture of one's nature, leading to spiritual death, inner turmoil, diminished power, blindness to one's actions, sorrow of the spirit, loss of divine grace, erosion of virtue, cessation of good deeds, spiritual aberration, and alignment with the devil, expelling the values of Christianity, trapping one in hell, and ultimately, eternal damnation.
Farid, do good in return for evil, and do not let your heart turn to anger. If your body contracts no ills, you will earn all that you desire.
