9. Gita’s influence is not merely philosophic or academic but immediate and living, an influence both for thought and action, and its ideas are actually at work as a powerful shaping factor in the revival and renewal of a nation and a culture. Aurobindo Ghose

11. Gita wsa not preached either as pastime for persons tried out after living a worldly life in pursuit of selfish motives or as a preparatory lession for living such worldly life. My last prayer to everyone is that one should not fail to thoroughly understand this ancient science of the life of a householder, or of worldly life, as early as possible in one’s life. Lokmanya Tilak

14. This is the true joy in life – that being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. That being a force of nature, instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, For the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It’s a sort of splendid torch which I’ve got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on the future generations. George Bernard Shaw

17. Watch your thoughts, they become words; Watch your words, they become action; Watch your action, they become habits; Watch your habits, they become character; Watch your character, they become your destiny.

25. That the spiritual man need not be a recluse, that union with divine life may be achieved and maintained in the midst of worldly affairs, that the obstacles to the union lie, not outside us, but within us, such is the central lesson of the Bhagavadgita. Dr. Annie Besant

27. When a potter has completed making his pots, the wheel of the potter still rotates for some time, but is unable to manufacture pots. For a liberated soul, the wheel of life remains in motion, but his karma does not create any bondage for Him. His actions are called actionless actions. Swami Rama

28. There is only one Religion – the Religion of Love; There is only one Caste – the Caste of Humanity; There os only one Language – the Language is Heart; There is only one God – HE is Omnipresent.

29. The beauty and grandeur of human activity is renunciation in action, not renunciation of action. Renunciation of the highest order insists on performance of action.

30. To my knowledge, there is no book in the whole range of world’s literature so high above all as the Bhagavadgita, which is a treasure-house of Dharma not only for Hindu but for all mankind. Madan Mahan Malaviya

32. It is difficult to find happiness in one self, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else. Schopenhaver The illiterate of the 21 st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn… Alvin Toffler
