English Translation
No yogi who knows these two paths is ever deluded, O Partha. Therefore, at all times, be steadfast in yoga, O Arjuna.
Commentary (टीका)
Knowledge of these two paths removes fear and confusion about death and the afterlife. The practical takeaway is simple: remain established in yoga at all times. A yogi who maintains constant union with the Divine need not worry about the timing or circumstances of death — the path of light opens naturally for the devoted soul.
