Verse 27

The Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman

Although the devotees know these two paths, O Arjuna, they are never bewildered. Therefore be always fixed in devotion.

Context & Meaning

The devotee who truly knows — who has internalized this knowledge — is never confused about these paths. They have already chosen. The practical conclusion is simple and urgent: at all times, be established in yoga. Don't wait for death to prepare for it.

Madhvacharya

Dvaita

Knowledge of the two paths is not merely cosmological information — it is a call to constant vigilance. The yogi who knows does not deliberate at the moment of death; he simply continues the practice he has lived.
