नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
यदेव योगा: पश्यन्ति तत् सांख्यैरपि दृश्यते । एकं॑ सांख्यं च योगं च य: पश्यति स तत्त्ववित्
yad eva yogāḥ paśyanti tat sāṅkhyair api dṛśyate | ekaṃ sāṅkhyaṃ ca yogaṃ ca yaḥ paśyati sa tattvavit ||
যোগীরা যে তত্ত্ব প্রত্যক্ষ করেন, সাংখ্যের অনুসারীরাও সেই তত্ত্বই উপলব্ধি করে। অতএব যে সাংখ্য ও যোগকে এক রূপে দেখে, সেই-ই তত্ত্বজ্ঞ।

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that Yoga and Sāṅkhya, though methodologically different, culminate in the same realization of ultimate Reality; true wisdom lies in recognizing their essential unity rather than treating them as rival paths.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, Yājñavalkya is presenting a doctrinal clarification: he harmonizes two respected disciplines—Sāṅkhya’s discriminative insight and Yoga’s experiential practice—by asserting that both reveal the same truth to the sincere seeker.
