[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.39 · spoken by Krishna ]
You have heard the philosophy of the eternal self. Now hear the science of how to act. Equipped with this buddhi — the bondage of karma will shatter.
This wisdom has been declared to you in Sankhya, O Partha. Now hear it in Yoga — equipped with this buddhi, you will cast off the bondage of action.
SANSKRIT
एषा तेऽभिहिता साङ्ख्ये बुद्धिर्योगे त्विमां शृणु । बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि ॥२-३९॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“The map and the path are not the same. You needed to know what you are. Now you need to know how to move. Both are one wisdom — applied differently.”
