Chapter XIII · Śloka 25
ध्यानेनात्मनि पश्यन्ति केचिदात्मानमात्मना ।
अन्ये साङ्ख्येन योगेन कर्मयोगेन चापरे ॥
अन्ये साङ्ख्येन योगेन कर्मयोगेन चापरे ॥
dhyānenātmani paśyanti kecid ātmānam ātmanā |
anye sāṅkhyena yogena karma-yogena cāpare ||
anye sāṅkhyena yogena karma-yogena cāpare ||
Some behold the Self in the self by meditation, others by the yoga of Sāṅkhya knowledge, and still others by karma-yoga.
Kṛṣṇa acknowledges that there are multiple valid paths to Self-realization: the path of meditative contemplation (dhyāna), the path of discriminative wisdom (jñāna/Sāṅkhya), and the path of selfless action (karma-yoga). The destination is one; the roads are many.
