अध्याय ८
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
ऐशिया अनादि या दोन्ही वाटा I एकी उजू एकी अव्हांटा I म्हणवूनि बुद्धिपूर्वक सुभटा I दाविलिया तुज II 238 II
कां जे मार्गामार्ग देखावे साच लटिकें वोळखावें I हिताहित जाणावें I हिताचिलागी II 239 II
पाहे पां नाव देखतां बरवी I कोणी आड घाली काय अथावीं I कां सुपंथ जाणोनिया अडवीं I रिगवत असे II 240 II
जो विष अमृत वोळखे I तो अमृत काय सांडूं शके I तेविं जो उजू वाट देखे I तो आव्हांटा न वचे II 241 II
म्हणोनि फुडें I पारखावें खरें कुडें I पारखीलें तरी न पडे I अवसरें कहीं II 242 II
एऱ्हवीं देहातीं थोर विषम I या मार्गाचें आहे संभ्रम I जन्में अभ्यासिलियाचें हन काम I जाईल वायां II 243 II
जरी अर्चिरादि मार्गु चुकलियां I अवचटें धूम्रपंथें पडिलियां I तरी संसारपांतीं जुंतलियां I भंवतचि असावें II 244 II
हे सायास देखोनि मोटे I आतां कैसैनि पां.एटवेळ फिटे I म्हणोनि योगमार्गु गोमटे I शोधिले दोन्ही II 245 II
तंव एकें ब्रम्हत्वा जाइजे I आणि एकें पुनरावृत्ती येइजे I परि दैवगत्या जो लाहिजे I देहांतीं जेणें II 246 II
"I have thus illustrated the two paths, one straight, the other not so. It is to discriminate between good and bad and choose wisely. Having a boat in good condition, who would jump into deep waters? Leaving a well commuted road, who would follow a less trodden path? Would a person aware of the difference between Amrut, the nectar of immortality and poison would ever give up Amrut? Conscious choosing is the best way to be prepared for eleventh hour. Otherwise the confusion and delusion at the time of death may turn the lifelong study of Yoga go futile. Suddenly if instead of the auspicious Archira Marga, if the yogi goes on the Dhumra Marga then the endless cycle of death and rebirth becomes inevitable. To save one from these sufferings I have explained in detail these two marga said Lord Krishna to Arjun. While Archira Marga leads to realization of Bramha, the Dhumra Marga subjects one to the sufferings of endless cycle of death and rebirth. While the individuals have free will, ultimately there is a divine force guiding and shaping the course of events."
