Ok from your statement am I to understand, "Bhakti texts" makes us weaklings, but "Bhakti path" may not? So how is Bhakti path different from Bhakti texts?


Since you agree now that Krishna taught Bhakti too in the Gita, which is available to us as a text, I suppose, according to you, that God Krishna designed all readers of the Gita to be weaklings....?



 

AFAIK Krishna didn't segregate his teaching into chapters like Sankhya yoga chapter and Karma yoga chapter :)

Many slokas like 'karmanyevadhikaraste....' are found in, what you call, 'Sankhya Yoga' chapter!

So you cannot say, Karma Yoga-related slokas cannot be found in your 'Sankhya Yoga' chapter!!


Anyway...you quoted the sloka "sukha dukhe same krtva.." and said "Krishna was logical..He never asked anyone to beg or act helpless or ask for adversities...all He said is to surrender to Him after telling Arjuna to get up and fight."


So according to you, is 'getting up and fighting'.... Karma yoga or Sankhya yoga?

Do you agree that Krishna promised in the Gita that he will support the Aarthas, Artharthis, Jijnasus and Jnaanis?

How do you differentiate between an "aartha", "artharthi", and someone who begs/someone who is helpless?
