Pretty good translation. Some inspiring insights here. However, much of the book seems redundant. It’d be interesting to read a more concise adaptation.

Here’s one passage that is direct:


Chapter 5

Arjuna said:

Krishna, you approve the renunciation of actions, and then again the practice of yogic discipline. 

Tell me unambiguously, which is the better of these two? 

The Lord said: 

Both renunciation and the practice of yogic action lead to ultimate bliss, but, of the two, the practice of yogic action is superior to the renunciation of action.
