Bhagavad Gita 12.1
एवं सततयुक्ता ये भक्तास्त्वां पर्युपासते।येचाप्यक्षरमव्यक्तं तेषां के योगवित्तमाः॥
arjuna uvācha evaṁ satata-yuktā ye bhaktās tvāṁ paryupāsate ye chāpy akṣharam avyaktaṁ teṣhāṁ ke yoga-vittamāḥ
Translation
Arjuna said: Those devotees who ever harmonised worship Thee, and those also who worship the Indestructible, the Unmanifested, whether of these is the more learned in yoga?
What it means
Arjuna asks a direct comparison: between devotees who worship You with steadiness and those who worship the unmanifest Imperishable, who is the better yogi? The personal and the formless paths are put side by side for ranking.
Try this today
The chapter's question: personal or formless - which path is superior? A live debate in every tradition.
Something to reflect on
Am I drawn to the personal or the formless - and have I honored the other path?
