      Umfassende erläuternde Kommentare von Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan helfen, diesen grundlegenden Text richtig zu verstehen. Der Weise sieht in der Handlung die Untätigkeit und in der Untätigkeit die Handlung. Er ist ein Yogi und hat all seine Tätigkeiten vollendet. Wer die ihm auferlegte Arbeit verrichtet und nicht nach den Früchten sucht, ist ein Sannyasin, ein Yogi, nicht jedoch derjenige, der das heilige Feuer nicht entzündet und keine Rituale vollzieht. Diejenigen, die von Stolz und Täuschung befreit sind, die das Übel der Anhaftung überwunden haben, die ihre Begierden gezähmt haben und stets dem höchsten Geist ergeben sind, die von den Dualitäten von Freude und Schmerz befreit sind und frei von Verwirrung, erreichen den unsterblichen Zustand.

      This challenging and beautifully written book describes the leading ideas of Indian philosophy and religion. It traces the probable influence of Indian mysticism on Greek thought and Christian development, through Alexandrian Judaism, Christian Gnosticism, and Neo-Platonism. The author argues that Christianity, which arose out of an eastern background and became wedded to Graeco-Latin culture, will find rebirth in a renewed alliance with this Eastern heritage.
