The Blessed Lord said In this world there is a twofold path, as I said before, O sinless one; the path of knowledge of the Sankhyas and the path of action of the Yogins.

The Lord said: Sinless one, in this world a twofold path was taught by me of old: the yoga of knowledge for those inclined to reflection, and the yoga of action for those inclined to work.

Krishna answers by naming two paths that he has long taught. For the Sankhyas, those drawn to contemplation, there is jñānayoga, the discipline of knowledge (jñāna). For the yogins, those drawn to action, there is karmayoga, the discipline of action. He does not say one is false. The word niṣṭhā means a settled way of life or commitment. Traditions differ on how the two relate, some treating them as stages and others as parallel paths, but all agree that Krishna is answering Arjuna's demand for a single path by first acknowledging two.
