Gita, Bhagavad

"Action is the product of the Qualities inherent in Nature."

"Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors which motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action."

"Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is."

"It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins."

"That which is not, shall never be; that which is, shall never cease to be. To the wise, these truths are self-evident."

"Purity engenders Wisdom, Passion avarice, and Ignorance folly, infatuation and darkness."

"An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with material senses. Such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them."

"One who sees the Supersoul accompanying the individual soul in all bodies and who understands that neither the soul nor the Supersoul is ever destroyed, actually sees."

"He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye."
