I should say - a good modernization of our ancient rishis' views. However the following " ESPECIALLY HERE STAY AWAY FROM OUR ACHARYAS BHASHYAMS" seems to devalue the views of great acharyas. This is not so considerate comment on our great ancient acharyas such as Samkara, Ramanuja and Madhva, who have toiled hard to summarize the whole meaning of Bhagawadgita in this verse. Neither is this an easy verse, which is better interpreted using a modern view, if one were to pay attention to the whole text of Bhagawadgita. I think one should understand our traditional bhasyas on this verse "sarva dharman parityajya". Yes it is complicated and probably the person asking this question is not so interested in deep "analysis and hair splitting views on this verse". However, deep ideas are hidden in this verse and a good understanding is necessary for any deep student of "hindu philosophy". Further the diametrically opposite views, which have even crept into modern books on Bhagawadgita is something one should know deeply.
