Swami Vivekananda�s views on the Gita are scattered throughout The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda published in nine volumes. The present book is a compilation of these views so that the reader is taken through some of the verses of the Gita along with the Swami�s commentary, as it were.
The animal has its happiness in the senses, the human beings in their intellect, and the gods in spiritual contemplation. It is only to the soul that has attained to this contemplative state that the world really becomes beautiful.
-Swami Vivekananda
