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
Seek refuge in Him alone with your whole being, O Bharata; by His grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal abode.
He has no fear or desire and rises above both pain and pleasure. He is always content and experiences divine bliss and lasting peace.
However, the soul that does not attain the level of purity that matches its capacity will never achieve true peace and satisfaction, because it lacks the detachment and emptiness in its faculties necessary for simple union.
