sāṅkhya-yogau pṛthag-bālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ |
ekam-apy-āsthitaḥ samyag-ubhayor-vindate phalam || 4 ||

4. Children, not the learned, speak of Sankhya (Jñana Yoga) and Yoga (Karma Yoga) as distinct;
one who is firmly established in either, attains the fruit of both.

Commentary

Those who say that Karma Yoga and Jñana Yoga are dissimilar because of the differing results, are children i.e. they lack insight — they do not know the entire truth. On the contrary — both of these paths lead to Self-realization, therefore one who is firmly established in one wins the fruit common to both of them.
