What the Gita Teaches The Teaching of the Gita ~ My Meaning of the Gita
written by Mohandas K. Gandhi
Krishna of My Conception



I ascribe to the Gita, a totally different meaning from that ordinarily given. I do not regard it as a description of, or an exhortation to, physical warfare. And, in any case, it is God—the All-Knowing —who descends to the earth to punish the wicked.

—Young India : April 9, 1925

I have already stated my meaning of the Gita. It deals with the eternal duel between good and evil. And who does not, like Arjuna, often quail when the dividing line between good and evil is thin and when the right choice is so difficult ?

—Young India : May 7, 1925.
