However, some yogis perceive the Self as the Self within the self through meditation, others through knowledge-yoga, and still others through action-yoga.
Some realise the Supreme by meditating, by its aid, on the Self within, others by pure reason, others by right action.
Some perceive the self within the self (body) by meditation by the self (mind), others by Sankhya Yoga, and still others by Karma Yoga.
Through meditation some realize the Self in (their) intellect with the help of the internal organ; others through Sankhya-yoga, and others through Karma-yoga.
Some by meditation behold the Self in the Self by the Self, others by the Yoga of knowledge, and others by the Yoga of action.
