Knowing these paths, O Arjuna, no yogi is deluded; therefore, at all times, be steadfast in yoga.
Knowing the nature of the two paths and the conseences they lead to, a Yogi never loses his discrimination. The Yogi who knows that the path of the gods or the path of light leads to Moksha (gradual liberation), and the path of darkness to Samsara or the world or region of birth and death, is no longer deluded. Knowledge of these two paths serves as a compass or a beaconlight to guide the Yogis steps at every moment. He strives to stick to the path of light.
