Essays on the Gita
A reading of the Bhagavad Gita as a guide to active spirituality rather than a text of renunciation. Aurobindo seeks its “living message”: the union of knowledge, works and devotion, the sacrifice of action to the Lord, the doctrine of the avatar and, in the Second Series, that of the Purushottama, the supreme Being embracing personal and impersonal. Written in implicit dialogue with Tilak, Gandhi and Shankara, it is one of the most influential modern interpretations of the Gita.
