ध्यानेनात्मनि पश्यन्ति केचिदात्मानमात्मना
अन्ये सांख्येन योगेन कर्मयोगेन चापरे
dhyānenātmani paśyanti kecidātmānamātmanā
anye sāṃkhyena yogena karmayogena cāpare
TRANSLATION
Some perceive the self within the self (body) by meditation by the self (mind), others by Sankhya Yoga, and still others by Karma Yoga.
PURPORT
The different type of Yogis are described herein: (1) Some with perfect Yoga perceive the self (Atmanam) in the body with the mind (Atmana) by meditation. (2) Others with imperfect Yoga see the self, with mind rendered fit for Yoga, by Sankhya Yoga, namely, Jñana Yoga, (3) Still others, (a) unqualified to practise Jñana Yoga, and (b) qualified but preferring an easier method, and (c) also distinguished persons like Janaka—all these perceive the self after being qualified for Yoga by Karma Yoga which contains within itself knowledge (Jñana).
