The Bhagavad-Gita, or the Lord's Song Synopsis

Excerpt from The Bhagavad-Gita, or the Lord's Song: With the Text in Devanagari and an English Translation

It is a scripture of Yoga: now Yoga is literally union, and it means harmony with the divine Law, the becoming one with the divine Life, by the subdual of all outward-going energies. To reach this, balance must be gained, equilibrium, so that the self, joined to the Self, shall not be affected by pleasure or pain, desire or aversion, or any of the pairs of opposites between which untrained selves swing.
