“That matchless remedy (for self realisation) is renunciation of fruits of action.”
― Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi

“This is the centre round which the Gita is woven. This renunciation is the central sun, round which devotion, knowledge and the rest revolve like planets. The body has been likened to a prison. There must be action where there is body. Not one embodied being is exempted from labour. And yet all religions proclaim that it is possible for man, by treating the body as the temple of God, to attain freedom. Every action is tainted, be it ever so trivial. How can the body be made the temple of God? In other words how can one be free from action, i.e. from the taint of sin? The Gita has answered the question in decisive language: ‘By desireless action; by renouncing fruits of action; by dedicating all activities to God, i.e., by surrendering oneself to Him body and soul.”
― 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

“I might be ready to embrace a snake, but, if one comes to bite you, I should kill it and protect you.”
― Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi
