The Bhagavad Gita

by Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

I am time, the destroyer of all; I have come to consume the world.

St. Paul puts love above knowledge and even above miraculous powers: “But I shall give you a more excellent way. . . . Love never faileth. But whether there be prophecies, they shall fail. Whether there be tongues, they shall cease. Whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.”

Not agitating the world or by it agitated, they stand above the sway of elation, competition, and fear: that one is my beloved.

Whatever exists, Arjuna, animate or inanimate, is born through the union of the field and its Knower.
