What would it be like to function at the maximum potential of our minds, bodies, and spirits? What is an optimal human life?

La Bhagavad-gita es un importante texto sagrado hinduista. Se le considera uno de los clásicos religiosos más importantes del mundo. Es parte del texto épico Majabhárata (posiblemente del siglo III a. C.). Consta de 18 capítulos y 700 versos.

Diese philosophischen Schriften wurden niedergeschrieben zwischen 700 und 200 v. Chr. Sie befassen sich ausschließlich mit wesentlichen Fragen nach Gott, der Seele, dem Ursprung und der Bestimmung des Menschen. Dies macht sie auch für moderne westliche Leser zu einer überaus lohnenden Lektüre.

Die Ribhu Gita ist eines der Hauptwerke der indischen Vedanta-Philosophie. Darin ist die Quintessenz dieser Philosophie enthalten. Sie besagt, dass alles das eine Selbst ist. Es gibt nur ein Selbst, das wir alle miteinander teilen. Nur wer bereit ist, auf alles Persönliche zu verzichten, wird dazu in der Lage sein, sich auf dieses kosmische Selbst einzulassen. Ramana Maharschi (1879 –1950), der große erleuchtete Meister des 20.Jahrhunderts, liebte diese Schrift mehr als alle anderen.
