| (ii) The Lord alone is to be worshipped, and that only by doings | |
| one’s own duties. Any other worship or duty should be | |
| abandoned. | |
| (iii) Devotion to the Lord is the mean to which all the rest is | |
| subservient; | |
| (iv) The Lord is far different from the whole world and every- | |
| thing is under His control. He is the Supreme being, perfect | |
| in every excellence. | |
| (v) The human being is obliged to perform his duties without | |
| hoping for the fruits which he may get out of his perfor- | |
| mance. | |
| ‘Srimad Bhagavad Gita’ has been translated into several | |
| languages, and each translation has been reviewed and com- | |
| mented in different ways. But this edition of Bhagavad Gita has | |
| its own distinction. It contains the original sanskrit text (shloka | |
| by shloka) with its translation into Hindi as also in English. We | |
| hope that this edition will enlighton not only those readers who | |
| read it from religious view point, but also to those who want to | |
| study this great literary work. | |
| It has been brought out in comparatively bolder type so that | |
| it can be easily read by readers of all ages. | |
