Shloka 4
यदेव योगा: पश्यन्ति तत् सांख्यैरपि दृश्यते । एकं॑ सांख्यं च योगं च य: पश्यति स तत्त्ववित्,योगी जिस तत्त्वका साक्षात्कार करते हैं, वही सांख्योंद्वारा भी देखा जाता है; अतः जो सांख्य और योगको एक देखता है, वही तत्त्वज्ञानी है
yad eva yogāḥ paśyanti tat sāṅkhyair api dṛśyate | ekaṃ sāṅkhyaṃ ca yogaṃ ca yaḥ paśyati sa tattvavit ||
Dijo Yājñavalkya: «La misma Realidad que contemplan directamente los practicantes del Yoga es también discernida por los seguidores del Sāṅkhya. Por ello, quien ve al Sāṅkhya y al Yoga como uno en esencia, ése es el verdadero conocedor de la verdad: comprende que disciplinas distintas pueden converger en una misma visión suprema y no deben oponerse en vano».

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.
