‘Thus is wisdom taught you by Me, —the mystery of mysteries; reflect on it all and act as you will.’
Wisdom = (jñānam), wisdom that is to be indispensably acquired by the moksha-aspirant, —wisdom which is more secret than all that is secret , —wisdom concerning (1) Karma-Yoga (2) Jñāna-Yoga and (3) Bhakti-Yoga.
Reflect etc = Examine them all well and then act as may harmonize with your wish; i.e., use your choice and elect any of them, Karma-Yoga, Jñāna-Yoga or Bhakti-Yoga.
