How this connects to Jesus
Whoever takes refuge in the Divine, the Gita says, wins the Eternal Rest by his grace, and not by his own strength alone. That single word, grace, stands at the very centre of the Gospel: it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8). A rare and moving place where the Gita and the Gospel almost touch: rest received, not earned.
