Explication

Arjuna admits that Krishna's teaching seems to him to point in two directions at once, praising both knowledge and action. The word iva, as if, softens the charge: he does not accuse Krishna of confusing him deliberately but says it feels that way. He asks for one clear path to śreyas, the highest good. The request is that of a sincere student who wants certainty. Krishna's answer will not reduce the teaching to a single formula, but it will show how the two approaches fit together.
