Definitely not a recommendation I see often.
I only came to know of the Gita by this quote: "To work you have the right, but not to the fruits thereof". Resonated with me, and brought me to the concept of "karma yoga".
How did you come across it?

- banana2 5y agoCan I ask if you're Hindu or born in India (only if you are comfortable sharing)? Because I don't see many outside of those 2 circles knowing of this text - and I'm really looking for a different interpretation / view of it, rather than the traditional one. (I am neither, if it matters)

- banana2 5y agoHm, I would disagree. I think they are 2 different quotes, both meaningful in their own ways. I could elaborate more if you'd like.
