The Bhagavad Gita
One of my favorite sacred texts is the Bhagavad Gita. It is probably the most popular Hindu text.
I recently read Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation by Stephen Mitchell. I'd recommend this one, especially if you haven't ever read the Gita before. It was at my local library and may be at yours, too.
Or you can read a version online here.
I have also had Eknath Easwaran's translation recommended to me, and I have read part of the third volume of his Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living. This 3 volume set contains Easwaran's commentary on the Gita.
I highly recommend the Bhagavad Gita to anyone interested in spirituality, meditation, or metaphysics.

If you'd like to delve deeper into the Gita's philosophy, check out http://www.gitananda.org/wisdom-from-the-gita/index.php
you will find some practical applications of the gita's teachings there.
Thanks, I've gone and checked it out just a little bit and it looks good.
The Gita and the Tao Te Ching are my favorite sacred texts so far.
