Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 13.25 and 26
Some perceive the Ātman within the ātman through meditation, others through Sāṅkhya philosophy, Yoga, and yet others through Karma Yoga.
Others, who do not know this, worship after hearing from others. They too certainly transcend death, being devoted to the hearing of scriptures.
Gīta Bhāshya 13.25 and 26
It is the same lord and the ultimate reality that gets perceived as the end result by followers of all paths - Sankhya, Karma, Listening from others, and the weak.
Followers of Sāṅkhya philosophy (sāṅkhyena yogena), through the knowledge of the divine form as described in the Vedas. Even those engaged in the Yoga of action (karmayogena), upon hearing, knowing, and meditating, gain insight. For those who listen from others (śrutvā'nyebhya), too, upon knowing and meditating. For the followers of Sāṅkhya, upon meditating. Same is stated in the Gaupavana Vedic testimonial:
"The one who performs actions (Yoga of action), upon hearing, knowing, and meditating, perceives the truth. Likewise, a listener, by knowing and meditating, also sees as does a wise person (who is a Jnana/Sankhya Yogi). Otherwise, his perception does not develop in any way."
- stated thus.
The word 'Others' is used to address the concerns of the weak, to show the means.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
