A literal interpretation of the Gita lands one in a sea of contradictions.
The path is the goal.
All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such.
Mortification of the flesh has been held all the world over as a condition of spiritual progress.
The taking of vows that are not feasible or that are beyond one's capacity would betray thoughtlessness and want of balance.
I am a Christian and a Hindu and a Muslim and a Jew.
