And what is your view? I humbly request your valued opinion.

A further thought. I believe that a student who reads the above verses with genuine understanding—not merely committing them to memory—and brings them to life in practice will surely advance far indeed. The Gita alone is sufficient for the journey ahead.

I held the intention to write, when time permits, with deep significance about these verses.

Here are six remarkable translations of the Gita:

Swami Ranganathananda's Gita (3 volumes)
Sadhak-Sanjivani
Jagadish Chandra Ghosh's (Major) Gita
Swami Amritvananda's Gita
Swami Jagadishvarananda's Gita
Swami Apurvananda's Gita
