THE NEED OF THE GITA
THE WORLD abounds with scriptures sacred and profane,
with revelations and half-revelations, with religions
and philosophies, sects and schools and systems. To these

to damn them as false or criticise what we conceive to be their
errors. But we are still apt to declare that our truth gives us
