हे पार्थ! इन दोनों मार्गों को तत्त्व से जान लेने पर कोई भी योगी मोहित नहीं होता। इसलिए हे अर्जुन! तू सब काल में योगयुक्त रह—समबुद्धि से स्थित होकर निरन्तर उस साधन में लगा रह जो परम की प्राप्ति कराता है।

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Understanding the two spiritual ‘paths’ removes confusion; therefore one should remain constantly established in yoga—steady discipline and equanimity directed toward the Supreme.

What is happening in the narrative?

In the midst of the Kurukṣetra setting, instruction continues by urging Arjuna to avoid doubt about differing spiritual routes and to stay continuously engaged in yogic steadiness and practice.
