One by whom the world is not disturbed, and who is not disturbed by the world, who is freed from joy, impatience, fear, and agitation — that person too is dear to me.
यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः | हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः ||१२-१५||
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.
A true devotee says, 'O God, you alone are the doer; you alone do everything.
Whoever performs their duty honestly and sincerely is a 'Karam Yogi', a true devotee.
He should be wise yet innocent; strong yet kind-hearted; one who shares what little he has: only such a person can be a true devotee.
