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 ||
ଯୋଗୀମାନେ ଯେ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱକୁ ଦର୍ଶନ କରନ୍ତି, ସେହି ତତ୍ତ୍ୱକୁ ସାଂଖ୍ୟମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଦେଖନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ଯେ ସାଂଖ୍ୟ ଓ ଯୋଗକୁ ଏକ ଭାବେ ଦେଖେ, ସେଇ ତତ୍ତ୍ୱବିତ୍।

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.
