On his excommunication in 1329, Eckhart remarked: "if the ignorant are not taught they will never learn". In a prefatory note the author says" "In fact the Gita, I think, brings to mind "la phrase de Mozart enfant - je cherche les notes qui s'aiment' , and therein is the joy that reverberates within the spiritual inside of the reader. As for its "interpretation", the Gita in its essence very much resembles the mysterious depths and aura of La Gioconde. Find within it what will best bring you to peace".
