The Yoga way is to engage oneself in a higher form of activity through meditation, action, devotion and knowledge. The primary purpose of the Bhagavad- Gita is to illuminate for all of humanity the realization of the true nature of divinity; for the highest spiritual conception and the greatest material perfection is to attain love of God. Its intrinsic beauty is that its knowledge applies to all human beings and does not postulate any sectarian ideology or secular view.
