The Yoga of the Imperishable Absolute

Krishna gives the practical instruction: 'Naite sriti partha janan yogi muhyati kashcana'—knowing (jannan) these (ete) two paths (sriti), O Arjuna (partha), no (na) yogi (yogi) is deluded (muhyati), anyone (kashcana). 'Tasmat sarveshu kaleshu yoga-yukto bhavarjuna'—therefore (tasmat), at all times (sarveshu kaleshu), be (bhava) steadfast (yoga-yuktah) in yoga, O Arjuna. This is the key: knowing these two paths prevents delusion. When you understand the path of light and the path of darkness, you're not confused about which path to take. This knowledge helps you choose consciously—the path of light that leads to liberation. Therefore, be steadfast in yoga at all times—practice constantly, remember constantly, so you naturally walk the path of light. This is the practical application: know the paths, and be steadfast in yoga.
