holy Bhagavad Gita,Girl reading

यामिमां पुष्पितां वाचं प्रवदन्त्यविपश्चित: |
वेदवादरता: पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिन: || 42||
कामात्मान: स्वर्गपरा जन्मकर्मफलप्रदाम् |
क्रियाविशेषबहुलां भोगैश्वर्यगतिं प्रति || 43||


BG 2.42-43:Those with limited understanding, get attracted to the flowery words of the Vedas, which advocate ostentatious rituals for elevation to the celestial abodes, and presume no higher principle is described in them. They glorify only those portions of the Vedas that please their senses, and perform pompous ritualistic ceremonies for attaining high birth, opulence, sensual enjoyment, and elevation to the heavenly planets.

This lovely portrait is by the celebrated French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot(1796-1875). Though he is probably best known for his beautiful landscapes, which inspired the Impressionists, he also painted a great many figures, mostly posed in his studio though he set them in natural landscapes.
