Gita Bhashya -Sankara 143

In the two (preceding) Chapters has been taught the Yogaof devotion to Knowledge with renunciation, attainable throughKarma-yoga as the means. Therein is comprehended the Vedicteaching concerning activity and retirement; and it is this very same (Jñāna-Yoga) which is intended by the Lord as (THE) Yoga throughout the Qltās. Therefore, holding that the purportof the Veda has been completely taught, the Lord glorifies it bynarrating the tradition.

The Blessed Lord said-
