Utkramaṇa-sthāna and Ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa: Yājñavalkya’s Instruction on Departure Pathways and Mortality Signs
यदेव योगा: पश्यन्ति सांख्यैस्तदनुगम्यते । एकं सांख्यं च योगं च य: पश्यति स बुद्धिमान्
yad eva yogāḥ paśyanti sāṅkhyais tad anugamyate | ekaṃ sāṅkhyaṃ ca yogaṃ ca yaḥ paśyati sa buddhimān |
قال فاسيشثا: «إنّ الحقيقةَ عينَها التي يشاهدها اليوغيون مشاهدةً مباشرة، يبلغها أيضًا عارفو السانكيا بتمييزٍ وبصيرة. والحكيم حقًّا هو من يرى السانكيا واليوغا واحدًا في ثمرتهما—تختلف الوسيلة، لكنهما يلتقيان عند الحقيقة العليا نفسها.»

Educational Q&A
Sāṅkhya and Yoga are presented as two complementary disciplines that culminate in the same realization of the highest Reality; wisdom lies in recognizing their unity in result rather than insisting on a sectarian difference of method.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Vasiṣṭha speaks as a teacher, clarifying philosophical harmony: yogic direct realization and Sāṅkhya’s discriminative knowledge converge on the same truth, so the listener should not treat them as ultimately opposed.
