I will randomly open The Gita:

O Arjuna! He who has disciplined his thoughts and mind, who
meditates on the Supreme Person and is constantly practicing,
his mind does not go anywhere and he reaches Him (the Supreme Being).


Ch 8 v 8

I love my particular translation of all others so far...by followers of
Kriya Yoga and Sri Yukteswar's lineage.

Another random:

But by knowing all this in detail, O Arjuna, what will you gain?
I support this entire universe with a single fraction of Myself.


~Ch 10 v 42

Ok, not random I backed up:

There is no end to My divine manifestation. What has been declared by Me
is only an example of the extent of My manifestaion and glory.
Whatever is being manifested with glory, grace, and power, know that
in every case it is only a fraction of My glory.


Ch 10 v 40-41

I take it, Miss Hepburn, you remember the 60's?

MBK: 2.17: ...

"Kṛṣṇa appeared pleased as Yudhiṣṭhira stopped speaking. He replied in a sonorous voice, “In all the worlds, including the heavens, there is no archer like Arjuna. That handsome hero will slay all your enemies. I will drive his chariot and will do everything in My power to assist him. Today you will see Jayadratha compelled to travel that road from which no traveler ever returns. Vultures, hawks and jackals will feast on his flesh tonight..."

Like the Bible, The Bhagavad Gita looks good with selective reading.

O Arjuna! I am the breath in everything. I am both inside and outside-everywhere
at once. In this way, all living beings are born in Me and are merging in Me.


A translation of Ch 9 v 4


Arq, what is MBK?

Correct answer. You've won a month-long retreat in an ashram where you'll be given a personalized mantra and 5 sitar lessons.

That explains why I remember them- somehow I missed it.
