ध्यानेनात्मनि पश्यन्ति केचिदात्मानमात्मना । अन्ये साङ्ख्येन योगेन कर्मयोगेन चापरे ॥13.25॥अन्ये त्वेवमजानन्तः श्रुत्वान्येभ्य उपासते । तेऽपि चातितरन्त्येव मृत्युं श्रुतिपरायणाः ॥13.26॥
Transliteration
dhyānenātmani paśyanti kecidātmānamātmanā | anye sāṅkhyena yogena karmayogena cāpare ‖13.25‖ anye tvevamajānantaḥ śrutvānyebhya upāsate | te'pi cātitarantyeva mṛtyuṃ śrutiparāyaṇāḥ ‖13.26‖
Meaning
“Some by meditation behold the Self in the self by the self; others by the yoga of knowledge, and others by the yoga of action. Yet others, not knowing thus, worship having heard from others; they too cross beyond death, devoted to what they have heard.”
