अन्ये त्वेवमजानन्तः श्रुत्वान्येभ्य उपासते । तेऽपि चातितरन्त्येव मृत्युं श्रुतिपरायणाः ॥ २५ ॥
anye tv evam ajānantaḥ śhrutvānyebhya upāsate te ’pi chātitaranty eva mṛityuṁ śhruti-parāyaṇāḥ
Translation
Yet others, not knowing these paths, worship after hearing from others. They too, devoted to what they have heard, cross beyond death.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
परंतु कुछ अन्य लोग, इन मार्गों को न जानते हुए, दूसरों से सुनकर उपासना करते हैं। सुने हुए के परायण वे भी मृत्यु को पार कर जाते हैं।
Commentary
This is one of the Gita's most generous verses. Those without learning or discipline, who simply listen to saints and teachers with faith and act on it, are not left out. Shruti-parayanah, "devoted to what they heard," describes much of ordinary devotional life: kathas, satsangs and hearing scripture from those who know it.
