In plain words
You must seek absolute clarity on your spiritual path when you feel confused by different teachings. Ask yourself to focus on one clear way to reach liberation. You need to decide whether to pursue jnana, which is the path of spiritual knowledge, or karma, the path of selfless action, to achieve the highest good.

3.2 You confuse my mind with statements that seem to contradict each other; tell me for certain that one way by which I could reach the highest good.

Arjuna says to Lord Krishna. Tecah me one of the two knowledge or action by which I may attain to the highest good or bliss or Moksha. (Cf. V. I).
