Recently, I was distributing at Orange Coast College, and a student came to the table and showed an interest in getting Bhagavad-gita. I explained it to him a little. Then he opened it, to see what he could get out of it. He opened it to text 4.22: \u201cHe who is satisfied with gains that comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady in both success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions.\u201d When he read that he said, \u201cAll right, I\u2019ll take it.\u201d Krsna is the wisest, and intelligent people appreciate His words of wisdom.<\/p>\n

A couple of days before that, a Buddhist monk from Cambodia came to the table. I showed him the Gita, and he appreciated it. I said to him that Buddha used to read it. I told him, \u201cI\u2019m also a monk, and we just ask for donations for the Gita. He said, \u201cI\u2019m happy to donate.\u201d He gave twenty dollars.<\/p>\n

Then a young lady came and said, \u201cJust an hour ago, my professor mentioned the Gita in class as a great classic of the East. I said, \u201cThat\u2019s true, but it is much more than that, and you\u2019ll get so much out of it by reading it. It\u2019s not by chance that he just mentioned it in class, and now I\u2019m offering it to you.\u201d She said, \u201cYes, I\u2019d love to read it.\u201d<\/p>\n
