18 SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
F. T. Brooks :
“ I have studide Bible.... Whatever is written therein is nothing but the essence of what is said in Gita.... But the depth of the knowledge contined in Gita is not found in old or new Testament.... Gita possesses the Divine knowledge which can not be purchased even by the wealth of the whole world.” Saint Thoreau :
Centuries have passed after the composition of Gita, but there has not been any other work of its type........ In my opinion the total knowledge which the world possesses to-day is worth nothing where when compared to Gita........Early morning everyday i take my bath with the waters of the holy knowledge contained in Gita. V. Humbolt :
One does not find the lofty thoughts contained in Gita in any other work available in the world to-day.
