Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 13: The Field and the Knower of the Field
Bhagavad Gita 13.25
अन्ये त्वेवमजानन्तः श्रुत्वान्येभ्य उपासते ।
तेऽपि चातितरन्त्येव मृत्युं श्रुतिपरायणाः ॥
anye tvevamajānantaḥ śrutvānyebhya upāsate | te'pi cātitarantyeva mṛtyuṃ śrutiparāyaṇāḥ ||
Others, who do not know these ways, worship after hearing of them from others. They too, devoted to what they have heard, cross beyond death.
Modern context
And there are those who do not know any of these methods. They simply hear from others and worship with faith. They too cross beyond death. This is a deeply inclusive verse. Not everyone can meditate, study philosophy or practise detachment in action. Someone who simply listens to a good teacher and follows with sincerity is not left behind.
