Educational Q&A
Although Sāṅkhya and Yoga are often presented as two distinct śāstras or methods, Vasiṣṭha asserts their essential unity: the true insight (darśana) and the final result they aim at are the same.
In Śānti Parva’s didactic setting, Vasiṣṭha is instructing by appealing to scriptural study, clarifying a potential confusion for the listener: the apparent division between Sāṅkhya and Yoga is largely pedagogical, not ultimately real.
