“Before God the work of man will be judged by the spirit in which it is done, not by the nature of the work which makes no difference whatsoever.”
― Mohandas K. Gandhi, The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi

“In Hinduism, incarnation is ascribed to one who has performed some extraordinary service of mankind. All embodied life is in reality an incarnation of God, but it is not usual to consider every living being an incarnation. Future generations pay this homage to one who, in his own generation, has been extraordinarily religious in his conduct. I can see nothing wrong in this procedure;”
― Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi

“This belief in incarnation is a testimony of man’s lofty spiritual ambition. Man is not at peace with himself till he has become like unto God. The endeavour to reach this state is the supreme, the only ambition worth having. And this is self-realization. This self-realization is the subject of the Gita, as it is of all scriptures. But its author surely did not write it to establish that doctrine. The object of the Gita appears to me to be that of showing the most excellent way to attain self-realization.”
― Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi

“The Gita has sung the praises of Knowledge, but it is beyond the mere intellect; it is essentially addressed to the heart and capable of being understood by the heart.”
― Mahatma Gandhi, The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi
