Translations
Knowing these paths, O Arjuna, no yogi is deluded; therefore, at all times, be steadfast in yoga.
O Arjuna! The saint, knowing these paths, is not confused; therefore, meditate perpetually.
O son of Prtha, no yogi—one steadfast in meditation—whosoever has known these two courses becomes deluded. Therefore, O Arjuna, be steadfast in yoga at all times.
हे पृथानन्दन ! इन दोनों मार्गोंको जाननेवाला कोई भी योगी मोहित नहीं होता। अतः हे अर्जुन ! तू सब समयमें योगयुक्त हो जा।Commentary
Knowing the nature of the two paths and the conseences they lead to, a Yogi never loses his discrimination. The Yogi who knows that the path of the gods or the path of light leads to Moksha (gradual liberation), and the path of darkness to Samsara or the world or region of birth and death, is no longer deluded. Knowledge of these two paths serves as a compass or a beaconlight to guide the Yogis steps at every moment. He strives to stick to the path of light.
