“Nor is the Gita a collection of do’s and dont’s. What is lawful for one may be unlawful for another. What may be permissible at one time, or in one place, may not be so at another time, and in another place. Desire for fruit is the only universal prohibition. Desirelessness is obligatory.”

Had it not been for a false pride and equally false notions of prestige, Englishmen here would long ago have adopted the Indian costume.”
