Srimad Bhagavad Gita (introduction continued) Strong interest in certain things can give way to indifference towards the very same things and men later begin to wonder how they could be so thoroughly absorbed in so useless and futile a pursuit. Resolute life shows itself not in words, but in actions; the ordinary mechanism of the mind is controlled and constantly directed towards lofty purposes; virtuous path is a matter of self-examination and self-analysis. The spiritual path is the path along which the torch of knowledge has been handed down from countless generations; it produces eminent and progressive men to sustain the life of the world. The lustre of spiritual initiation will bring real joy and peace in the long run, therefore the seeking of material and immediate advantages become less urgent. In so far as differences are based on material motives and the desire to have an adequate or greater share in the good things of life; it can be said that whenever a thing is carried to the farthest, at all events in the spiritual world a price must be paid for every deviation from truth and justice (to be continued)
