Using the Verses of the Gita for Japa

Sri Aurobindo

Verses of the Gita can be used as japa, if the object is to realise the Truth that the verses contain in them… Everything depends on the selection of the verses. A coherent summary of the Gita’s teaching cannot easily be put together by putting together some verses, but that is not necessary for a purpose of this kind which could only be to put the key truths together-not for intellectual exposition but for grasping in realization which is the object of japa.
