Bhagavad Gita (English Translation)
With special thanks to Sitha ka sansar
The essence of the Gita as summarized by Sri Sri Sivabalayogi Maharaj:
1. Why do you uselessly worry? Of whom are you needlessly afraid? Who can kill you? The Atma is neither born nor does it die.
2. Whatever happened in the past is for your good. Whatever is happening now is also good and whatever happens in the future is, that too, will be good. Do not have regrets about the past. Do not worry about the future. The presence is flowing effortlessly.
3. What have you lost that makes you weep? What did you bring into this life that you have lost? What did you nurture that has been destroyed? You brought nothing into this life and nothing you take while you are here can you take with you when you depart. Whatever you took or gave, you did so only here and only from Bhagavan. You came into the world empty-handed, and will leave empty-handed. What is yours today was another person yesterday and the day after tomorrow is will belong to someone else. You think all this is yours because you are identified with this existence. Alas, is it this materialistic attachment that is the cause of your unhappiness.
4. Change is the law of the Universe. What you think of as death is actually real life. In a moment you become rich. The next moment you are poor. Yours and mine, small and large, ours and theirs: banish these petty thoughts from your mind! Here everything is yours and you belong to everyone else.
5. Neither is the body yours, nor do you belong to this body. This body is made of the five elements: earth, air, water, fire and space, and someday is will return from whence it came. But the Atma is firm and immoral. What then are you?
6. Surrender yourself to the Lord. He will be your greatest help and comfort. The person who knows this is unafraid, does not worry and is free from sorrow.
7. Whatever you do, surrender it at the feet of the Lord. When you do this you will know the bliss of one who is free from the cycle of births and deaths.

“The senses are so strong and impetuous, O Arjuna, that they forcibly carry
away the mind even of a man of discrimination who is endeavoring to control
them. One who restrains his senses, keeping them under full control, and fixes
his consciousness upon me, is known as a man of steady intelligence.”
~Bhagavad Gita
***
“What is the value of a prolonged life if one has wasted it, not having benefited
from years of experience in this world? Better a moment full of consciousness,
because that gives one a start in searching after his supreme interest.”
~Srimad Bhagavatam
***
“A wise man does not lament even in the face of death, because he knows that
the soul within the body never dies.”
~Bhagavad Gita
***
“For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked and for the establishment
of righteousness, I am born in every age.”
~Bhagavad Gita
