सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः ।एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम् ॥
sāṃkhyayogau pṛthagbālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ |ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyagubhayorvindate phalam ||
It is the immature, not the wise, who speak of sankhya and yoga as separate. Someone who is truly established in even one of them gains the fruit of both.
Explanation
Krishna is answering Arjuna's question about whether renouncing action or practicing selfless action is better. Here sankhya (sāṅkhya) means the path of knowledge and renunciation, and yoga means the discipline of acting without attachment. He says only the immature see them as rivals, because properly followed, either path leads to the same fruit, liberation. Traditions differ on how far the two are really the same, but all read this verse as rejecting a strict opposition between them.
