The Bhagavid Gita:
The Mohatma's Call to Nonviolent Action

Recast in American Verse
By Ahimsanda
Santa Barbara, California

From Ghandi's Intro:

"The author of the Mubharata has not established the
necessity of physical warfare; on the contrary he has
proved its futility."

Chapter Two
Line 56

The sage's mind held still in peaceful calm
Despite all good or ill, set free from thought
Of person, ego, benefit or fame
For self or even justice, such is nought.

With focused mind one dwells with God
And feels no pain in losing trifling things
Awareness of and through the Godhead is
The bell through which trandscendent Spirit rings.
