Since no one on the list has so far responded to you, let me at least attempt to do so. The soul of Capitalism is Profit. It teaches you how to gain through what is known as 'shrama', acquisitive effort. Such gain can be easily measured on a Profit & Loss statement or Balance Sheet. The soul of the Bhagavath-Gita is also Profit but it's the soulful, not earthly variety of gain. It's acquired through the effort of 'thyAga', 'nyAsa' or 'saraNagathi' i.e. self-sacrifice, renunciation and self-surrender. Unfortunately, double-entry book- keeping cannot measure it. Ask yourself now a simple question: Which makes more meaning in life -- Profit or Self-sacrifice? Depending on what your answer is you may decide then which work to take up for serious study -- the 'Bhagavath-Gita' or the 'Das Capital'. Rgds, dAsan, Sudarshan ------------------------ Yahoo!
