Selected verses from the Bhagavad-Gita : for living in a rational and intelligent way

I have written this book for every intelligent human being who wants to raise his or her intellect above the dualities of life and let it rest in the spiritual realm of peace joy and contentment. Allowing the intellect to be affected by dualities such as praise and criticism gain and loss victory and defeat is to live in a state of constant agitation. Disciplining the intellect to remain steadfast in the Atman (spirit or self) is to live in a state of peace. The Bhagavad-Gita is a book par excellence for attaining a disciplined intellect by raising it above the dvandvas (pairs of opposites) of the world.
