dhyānenātmani paśhyanti kechid ātmānam ātmanā anye sānkhyena yogena karma-yogena chāpare
In plain words
You're drowning in the question 'What am I supposed to do?' — as if there's one right answer waiting to be found, and you're failing because you haven't found it yet. Krishna says: the path itself is not one-size-fits-all, and your nature is not broken. Some find their way through quiet reflection, others through study and understanding, still others by throwing themselves into service. Stop waiting for permission to walk the path that already feels alive in you.
Word by Word
Krishna reveals that the path to perceiving the Atman within is not one-size-fits-all — different seekers discover the Self through different doors. Some find the Divine through meditation's silence, others through discriminating wisdom, still others through selfless action.
Your unique temperament is not a limitation but an invitation: the same truth awaits you at the end of whichever authentic path aligns with how you naturally seek.
