Bhagwad Geeta chapter 7 verse 20 ~ Zakir Naik

In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagvat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions. I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Knowledge has a beginning but no end. ~ Geeta Iyengar

a moon smiled, always
from the threshold of her eyelids, that
fluttered like a feather. ~ Geeta Tripathee

Therefore, do you perform your allotted duty;
for action is superior to inaction. Desisting from
action, you cannot even maintain your body. (Chapter-III, Shloka-8) ~ Gita Press

श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मताः॥
॥१२- २॥
Best but all are those that be,
Absorved in My full faith truly,
Devote themselves but absolutely,
To My worship - ever diligently.
12. 2 ~ Munindra Misra

between your center and my perimeter;
I feel, a continuous river of faith
flowing for ages. ~ Geeta Tripathee

The readeris nowhere raised into and sustained in a higher, purer, or rarer region of thought than in the Bhagvat-Geeta ...
