Chapter 3 verse 3
“The blessed lord said: In this world there is a twofold
path, as said before, O sinless one; the ‘path of knowledge’ of the saankhyans
and the ‘path of action’ of the yogins”
Lord Krishna compassionately understands the confusion of
Arjuna who he calls the ‘sinless’ one. Sins are not a concept in sanatana
dharma. No action by itself is good or bad. It is the intention of the action
which will have consequences according to the laws of karma. Therefore nobody
is a sinful creature. Krishna has explained the paths of knowledge and path of
yoga in summary in chapter 2. He talked at length about the path of knowledge
in previous chapter and he is going to explain the path of yoga in this
chapter. Over the ages these paths have been thought of as separate. However
both the paths have to converge at some point for the person to attain the
divine. We will explore what Bhagwan Krishna enumerates in following verses.
