I will keep that book on my list. I like the title since it appears to be the only way Enlightenment is ultimately achieved. If seen as an empty myth, the Gita has no value at all. I enjoy it more as a challenge, and clear elucidation of the path the mind and heart take to gain eternal freedom. It has inspired me for decades.
