Verse 13.24
Verse 13.24: “Few there be who, by their own effort, realise, by means of concentred-meditation, the Self within their own self—a moiety (of them) by following the Method of Discriminating-Pose, moiety by (following the Method of) Even tempered—Activism. (1037)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Some, Oh, the best of warriors, kindle the fire of reason and therein give a coating (of knowledge) to the impure (portion) in regard to the spiritual and the non-spiritual, and thus separate pure gold (in the form of Supreme Brahman) by removing the thirty-six different shades of fineness, and then through the vision of concentrated meditation see within Supreme Brahman, their own self. Others through good luck concentrate on Supreme Brahman through the Samkhya Path, while some others secure it by following the path of even-tempered activism,
