Yatra kale tv anavrittim avrittim caiva yoginah, prayata yanti tam kalam vakshyami bharatarshabha
O best of the Bharatas, I shall now explain the different times at which, departing from this world, yogis either do not return or do return. Krishna introduces the teaching of the two paths — the bright path of no-return and the dark path of return — revealing that even the time of death influences the spiritual outcome.
- •The time and manner of death have spiritual consequences for the yogi
- •There are two cosmic paths that determine whether a soul returns or is liberated
- •Even the moment of death is part of yogic awareness
