    I have just found that the entirety of the 2011 Metropolitan Opera Cine-cast version of Philip Glass' "Satyagraha" is on YouTube. I am going to post all the Satyagraha videos here in order for ease of viewing. Peace and Love to all!

    "'Hold pleasure and pain, profit and loss, victory and defeat to be the same:
    then brace yourself ready for the fight.
    So will you bring no evil upon yourself.'
    To him thus in compassion plunged, to him desponding
    Krishna spoke these words:
    'Whence Comes this Faintness on you now at this crisis hour?
    This ill beseems a noble, wins none a heavenly state, but brings dishonour, Arjuna.
    Give up this vile faint-heartedness. Stand up, chastiser of your foes!'.
    Be wise in matters of death and duty,
    For sure is death to all that's born, sure is birth to all that dies."


    "For the high estate attained by men of contemplative theory,
    That same state achieve men of action.
    So act as in the ancient days of old,
    performing works as spiritual exercise.
    Work is more excellent than idleness.
    The body's life proceeds not, lacking work.
    Such an earthly task do free from desire; you will perform a noble deed.
    When the motives and the fruits of man's actions are freed from desire,
    Whoever gives up a deed because it causes pain, or because he shrinks from bodily pain,
    Follows the way of darkness, knowing nothing of self-surrender.
    But if a work is done because it should be done,
    and is enjoined by Scripture without thought for great benefits,
    then that is surrender is Goodness.
    These works of sacrifice must be done."

    "The world is not for the doubting man.
    Let a man by wisdom dispel his doubts.
    For nothing on Earth resembles wisdom's power to purify,
    and this a man may find in time within himself."
