Dhammapada
Brahman, the Godhead; Atman, the divine core of personality; dharma, the law that expresses and maintains the unity of creation; karma, the web of cause and effect; samsara, the cycle of birth and death; moksha, the spiritual liberation that is life’s supreme goal.
Sankhya, the phenomenal world of mind and matter is described as having three basic qualities or gunas: sattva– goodness, light, purity; rajas– passion, activity, energy; and tamas– darkness, ignorance, inertia.
“Through selfless service, you will always be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your desires”:
11 As they approach me, so I receive them. All paths, Arjuna, lead to me.
Closing their eyes, steadying their breathing, and focusing their attention on the center of spiritual consciousness,
The will is the only friend of the Self, and the will is the only enemy of the Self.
