For I am the foundation of Brahman, of the immortal and imperishable, of the eternal dharma, and of absolute bliss.

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
There's only a thin line between the two, so that I can experience divine bliss.
The root cause of a person's suffering is their pride. Even if someone makes a sacrifice, they can still get caught up in their own pride. What is the point of such a sacrifice? It is pride, or ego, that should be sacrificed. That is where true happiness and bliss are found.
It is also the flower's pleasure to yield its honey to the bee. To the bee, the flower is a source of life, and to the flower, the bee is a messenger of love. For both the bee and the flower, giving and receiving pleasure is a necessity and an ecstasy.
The peace, freedom and blessedness of all souls consist in their abiding in God’s will.
