niṣhṭhā

लोकेऽस्मिन्द्विविधा निष्ठा पुरा प्रोक्ता मयानघ

niṣhṭhā — faith

In this world there are two paths, as I have said before, sinless one: the path of knowledge, for those who reason; and the path of action, for those who act.

ये शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य यजन्ते श्रद्धयाऽन्विताः

niṣhṭhā — faith

Those who worship with faith but set aside what the scriptures direct — where do they stand, Krishna? In clarity, restlessness or inertia?

सिद्धिं प्राप्तो यथा ब्रह्म तथाप्नोति निबोध मे

niṣhṭhā — firmly fixed

Hear from me briefly how one who has reached that perfection attains Brahman.
