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
Man cannot find eternal peace of mind so long as he remains attached to the worldly materials, which by themselves are not permanent, stable and independent. Once a man gives place in his heart to the ever-living Almighty, he himself rises above decay, and whosoever comes in his contact, he too finds 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.
