The Gita according to Gandhi -Mahadev Desai

DISCOURCE 4 Inscrutable Providence - the unique power of the Lord - is ever at work. This in fact is avatara, incarnation. Strictly speaking there can be no birth for God. 9. He who knows the secret of this My divine birth and action is not born again, after leaving the body; he comes to Me, O Arjuna. For when a man is secure in the faith that Right always prevails, he never swerves therefrom, pursuing to the bitterest end and against serious odds, and as no part of the effort proceeds from his ego, but all is dedicated to Him, being ever one with Him, he is released from birth to death. 10. Freed from passion, fear and wrath, filled full with Me, relying on Me, and refined by the fiery ordeal of knowledge, many have become one with Me. 11. In whatever way men resort to Me, even so do I render to them. In every way, O Partha, the path men follow is Mine.
