1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 13 - Kshetra Kshetrajna Yoga - Sloka 24


Dhyanena atmani pashyanti kechit atmanam atmana I
Anye sankhyena yogena  karma yogena chapare II sloka 24
ध्यानेन आत्मानि पश्यन्ति केचित् आत्मनां आत्मान I
अन्ये सान्ख्येन योगेन कर्म योगेन चापरे II श्लोक 24

By meditation some behold the Self in the self by the self, others by the yoga of knowledge and yet others by karma yoga.

Of the four universally accepted yogas, the Raja yoga, Jnana yoga and karma yoga are mentioned in this sloka. Here the self refers to the jivatman and the Self refers to the Paramatman.
