Excerpt from The Bhagavad Gita
"All actions, all results and all rewards will go to the Lord.
There is no separate living for the individual. Just as the river joins
the sea abandoning its own name and form so also the individual sould
joins the Supreme Soul giving up his own name and form, his own egoistic
desires and egoism. The individual will has become one with the cosmic
will."
