The commentary of Shankara on the Gita is regarded as an outstanding specimen of Indian scholarship. The translator has accomplished his task in a most praiseworthy manner by giving a faithful translation, without in any way detracting from the strength or clarity of the original commentary. The inclusion of a 'word index' of the entire text has added to the worth of the book.
There is only one sin. That is weakness.... The only saint is that soul that never weakens, faces everything, and determines to die game.
-Swami Vivekananda
