Kick ass! You beat me to it!

Elena, It is so good. I am really enjoying it. I am almost done and I think I want to turn around and read it again.

I am ashamed; I bought this book months ago and still haven't read it. I know only the classic passage from it that illustrates the basic principles of karma yoga, ie, that to our actions we have a right, but not to their fruit... Ever since I encountered this truly life-changing thought, I have longed to read the entirety of the work, but the meandering line of personal research has a way of overwhelming me.

I am fascinated by the concept of "action in inaction and inaction in action". Additionally, the idea that we should detach ourselves from the negative (of course), but also the positive, not allowing any outside influence to dictate our actions or feelings. It is a very short read. I am going to reread and then move to the Upanishads.
