Arjuna said: Of those who are ever steadfast and worship You with devotion, and those who worship the imperishable and the unmanifest—which of these have the greater knowledge of Yoga?

Coming immediately after the cosmic vision of Chapter 11, Arjuna poses one of the most practical questions of the entire Gita: is it better to worship the personal God — the Krishna who stands before him — or the impersonal, formless Absolute? This is not an abstract philosophical puzzle; it is the question of which path of practice is highest. The question reflects a genuine seeker's desire to know the most efficient route to liberation.
