The Gita according to Gandhi 278

The Gita according to Gandhi -Mahadev Desai

DISCOURCE 7 With this discourse begins an exposition of the nature of Reality and the secret of devotion. The Lord Said: 1. Hear, O Partha, how, with thy mind rivetted on me, by practicing yoga and making me the sole refuge, thou shalt, without doubt, know me fully. 2. I will declare to thee, in its entirety, this knowledge, combined with discriminative knowledge, which when thou hast known there remains here nothing more to be known. 3. Among thousands of men hardly one strives after perfection; among those who strive hardly one knows Me in truth. 4. Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Mind, Reason and Ego—thus eightfold is my prakriti divided.
