But others, who have no knowledge of this nature, listen from others and reflect [accordingly]; they too, being devoted to what they have heard, do cross over death.
Others again, having no direct knowledge but only hearing from others, nevertheless worship, and they, too, if true to the teachings, cross the sea of death.
But some, who do not know thus, having heard from others, worship accordingly - these too, who are devoted to what they hear, pass beyond death.
Others, again, who do not know thus, take to thinking after hearing from others; they, too, who are devoted to hearing, certainly overcome death.
Others also, not knowing thus, worship, having heard of it from others; they, too, cross beyond death, regarding what they have heard as the supreme refuge.

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.
