Chapter IX · Śloka 15
ज्ञानयज्ञेन चाप्यन्ये यजन्तो मामुपासते ।
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥
एकत्वेन पृथक्त्वेन बहुधा विश्वतोमुखम् ॥
jñāna-yajñena cāpy anye yajanto mām upāsate |
ekatvena pṛthaktvena bahudhā viśvato-mukham ||
ekatvena pṛthaktvena bahudhā viśvato-mukham ||
Others again, sacrificing with the sacrifice of knowledge, worship Me as the One, as the Distinct, and as the Many — as the all-faced.
Different philosophical temperaments approach the same reality: non-dualists see pure unity, dualists maintain distinction, and pluralists encounter the Many-faced Lord. All genuine paths converge.
