Translator:
Knowing these paths, O Arjuna, no yogi is deluded; therefore, at all times, be steadfast in yoga.

A Reading - Rantideb

Why: knowing these two paths, no yogi is ever deluded, therefore, Arjuna, be steadfast in yoga at all times, tying awareness of this structure directly to staying undeluded and consistently grounded.

In life: understanding the general pattern of how confusion versus clarity tends to arise in your own life makes you less likely to be blindsided by it the next time it shows up.

Teaching: study your own personal pattern of what tends to precede your clearer versus your more confused periods, that pattern recognition itself helps you stay steadier the next time you feel the pull toward confusion.

Deep Classical Commentary (Bhashya)

Author:
8.27 न not? एते these? सृती two paths? पार्थ O Partha? जानन् knowing? योगी the Yogi? मुह्यति is deluded? कश्चन anyone? तस्मात् therefore? सर्वेषु in all? कालेषु times? योगयुक्तः steadfast in Yoga? भव (be) thou? अर्जुन O Arjuna.Commentary 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.
