Shloka 32
ध्यानयोगः — Dhyāna-Yoga
Discipline of Meditation and Mental Restraint
सम्बन्ध-- सोलहवें श्लोकमें भगवान्ने यह बात कही थी कि मैं तुम्हें वह कर्मतत्व बतलाऊँगा; जिसे जानकर तुम अशुभसे मुक्त हो जाओगे। उस प्रतिज्ञाके अनुसार अठारहवें श्लोकसोे यहाँतक उस कर्मतत््वका वर्णन करके अब उसका उपसंहार करते हैं-- एवं बहुविधा यज्ञा वितता ब्रह्मणो मुखे । कर्मजान् विद्धि तान् स्वनिवं ज्ञात्वा विमोक्ष्यसे
evaṁ bahuvidhā yajñā vitatā brahmaṇo mukhe | karmajān viddhi tān sarvān evaṁ jñātvā vimokṣyase ||
Demikianlah, beragam disiplin yajña diuraikan luas dalam sabda Veda. Ketahuilah semuanya bersumber dari tindakan—dilaksanakan melalui tubuh, indra, dan batin. Bila engkau memahami kebenaran ini dan menjalankannya dengan semangat itu, engkau akan terbebas dari belenggu karma.

Educational Q&A
All the diverse forms of yajña taught in the Veda are ultimately grounded in karma (disciplined action). When one understands their true basis and performs them with right knowledge and intention, action ceases to bind and becomes a means to liberation.
In the Kurukṣetra setting, the teaching is concluding a section that catalogues various kinds of yajña. The speaker summarizes: the Veda prescribes many sacrificial paths, but they are all forms of action; understanding this principle is presented as the key to freedom from karmic bondage.
