Chapter 13 verse 25
“Some
try to perceive the Supreme Soul within their hearts through meditation, and
others try to do so through the cultivation of knowledge, while still others
strive to attain that realization by the path of action.”
Bhagwan
calls out the various paths to reach the Supreme entity. One path is to control
body, mind, intellect and ego and draw oneself to dwell in the Self through
meditation. Another path is to realize the supreme soul by experiential
knowledge. Yet another path is to leverage the blessing of the Lord in the
skills given by Him and show dexterity in action as a service to the Supreme. I
feel that naturally when one reaches the pinnacle of these paths, their
surrender to either their individual, immutable Soul or the divine Paramatma is
complete and the world calls it Bhakti yoga lending a fourth path whereas in
reality there is only one path and it appears as different paths.
