In this book, the author has selected 90 verses of the Gita out of the total 700, which are purely subjective in nature. He, however, has included all the important ones for the sake of coherency of presentation. It is hoped that this small book will motivate the modern reader to study the full text with passion and devotion and pursue the spiritual goals towards eternal bliss. This abridged edition will give the complete message, which has inspired generations of students of the Gita all over the world.
