"The author of the foreword says that this book “teaches you how to read it” and it finally clicked for me. Incredible crescendo at the halfway point. Also very strange to me that this book and Crime and Punishment both have the exact same ignominious rich blond guy who very specifically got in legal trouble for cheating at cards and is trying to marry the main character’s sister by bribing her family." — Nov 10, 2025 03:19PM

“This is the unmistakable teaching of the Gita. He who gives up action falls. He who gives up only the reward rises. But renunciation of fruit in no way means indifference to the result. In regard to every action one must know the result that is expected to follow, the means thereto, and the capacity for it. He, who, being thus equipped, is without desire for the result and is yet wholly engrossed in the due fulfillment of the task before him is said to have renounced the fruits of his action.”

“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”

“The manner in which the Gita has solved the problem is to my knowledge unique. The Gita says, ‘Do your allotted work but renounce its fruit — be detached and work — have no desire for reward and work.”
