Chapter-5
Renunciation
4. The ignorant affirm that Sankhya and Yoga are different but not the wise. He who practices either will reap the fruit of both. Besides, O Partha, how can persons wholly ignorant, know the nature of Sankhya and Yoga? Being by nature ignorant, they affirm them to be different. How can there be different lights from the same lamp? But those who have realised the truth by genuine experience treat them both as one and the same. 5. That state, which the Sankhyas attain, is reached by the yogis as well. He sees truly, who sees that the Sankhya and the Yoga are one. The state which is reached by the Sankhyas, is also attained by the yogis. Hence these two paths are identical. As there is no difference between the sky and the space, the yogi recognises that the Yoga of action and renunciation are the same (26-30). If he recognises Sankhya and Yoga as not distinct, knowledge dawns upon him in this World and he realises his Self. |
