PRAVRITTI- NIVRITTI PATHS

Chapter II: Sankhya Yoga

(Krishna speaking to Arjuna)
II.53. When thy intellect, which is perplexed by the Veda text,
which thou hast read, shall stand immovable and steady in the
Self, then thou shalt attain Self-realisation.
COMMENTARY: When you intellect which is tossed about by the
conflict of opinions regading the Pravritti Marga(the path of
action) and the Nivritti Marga(the path of retirement or
renunciation) has become immovable without distraction and doubt
and firmly established in the Self, then thou shalt attain Self-
realisation or knowledge of the Self (Atma-Jnana).
