What unfolds is not merely a warrior's crisis of conscience, but a profound philosophical discourse that illuminates the nature of duty, righteousness, the immortal soul, and the path to spiritual liberation. Krishna's divine teachings to Arjuna traverse the three great yogic paths — of knowledge, devotion, and selfless action — presenting a vision of existence that transcends the battlefield and speaks to every human struggle against doubt and fear.\n\nAs one of the foundational texts of Hindu philosophy and a cornerstone of world religious literature, The Bhagavad Gita has inspired thinkers, leaders, and seekers across millennia — from ancient Indian sages to Thoreau, Emerson, and Gandhi. The Penguin Classics edition makes this timeless scripture accessible to modern Western readers, pairing a lucid translation with scholarly context that illuminates its rich allegorical and metaphysical dimensions. Whether encountered as sacred scripture, philosophical treatise, or literary masterwork, this ancient text continues to pose questions that no reader can easily leave unanswered: What is one's true duty? What is the self? And what does it mean to act without attachment to the fruits of one's actions?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342776508635,"sku":"2026200016156-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1aba7993-254b-468e-b3a7-f69e3ed2e6f0.png?v=1790049210","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016156-secondhand-the-bhagavad-gita","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
