For those who dont get time to read the full version of Bhagavad Gita here is the link to get the gist of it.

my favourites from Bhagavad Gita:
Thy right is to work only but never with its fruits. Let not the fruit of action be thy motive,nor let thy attachment be for inaction. Perform action, being steadfast in Yoga abandoning attachment and balanced in success and failure. Evenness of mind is Yoga.
Control Raga-dvesha, obstructors of the spiritual path. Do your own duty well. Control
desire and anger-the enemies of wisdom. Master first the senses. Kill this enemy-desire by
restraining the self by the Self and by knowing Him who is superior to intellect.
With the self unattached to external contacts he finds bliss in the Self: with the self engaged in the meditation of Brahman he attains endless bliss. The enjoyments that are born of contacts are only generators of pain, for they have a beginning and an end, O son of Kunti (O Kaunteya); the wise do not rejoice in them.
Let a man lift himself by his own Self alone, let him not lower himself; for the Self alone is
the friend of oneself and this Self alone is the enemy of oneself. The Self is the friend of the self
for him who has conquered himself by the Self, but to the unconquered self, this self stands in the position of an enemy like the external foe.
Yoga becomes the destroyer of pain for him who is moderate in eating and recreation, who
is moderate in exertion in actions, who is moderate in sleep and wakefulness. Little by little let
him attain quietude by intellect held in firmness; having made the mind established in the Self, let him not think of anything.

Indha level-la Raga-dvesha, sukku-kashaya, onion raava dosa-nu oru range-le pesikkittey India-kku ponney, aprom venky "aiyoo aiyoo"-nu airport-leye vittutu joot vida poraar..
"Let thy wife forget spiritual path and focus on actual road path to reach back home!!" - idhu practical-dvesha!!
(sorry no offense - just saying on fun basis).
Salvation or Karuna , is the other key concept of Mahayana, and is a necessity to enlightened wisdom. Compassion is important in all schools of Buddhism, but is particularly emphasized in Mahayana. It relies on the idea that excess acquired merit can be transmitted to others.
I agree with the previous comment, all the good people on earth need to acquire all the good things, both spiritually and materialistically, the reason being, a good person knows how to appropriate his wealth and use it for good purpose (rather than the wealth being in hands of a terrorist), moderation steps in at all places, in all generations, "The law of Averages" will always catch up...
AKA Ramesh: "Practical - Dvesha" : "Dvesha" in sanskrit means hatred... where is the hatred... or is there any other meaning to it?
