| The path of light (of spiritual practice of Kundalini yoga
and Self-knowledge) and the path of darkness (of materialism and ignorance) are thought to be the world's two
eternal paths. The former leads to nirvana and the latter leads to rebirth. (8.26)
Knowing these two paths, O Arjuna, a yogi is not
bewildered at all. Therefore, O Arjuna, be steadfast in yoga (of meditation) at all times. (8.27)
The yogi who knows all this goes beyond getting the
benefits of the study of the Vedas, performance of sacrifices, austerities, and charities, and attains the Supreme
eternal abode. (8.28)
