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,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 ||

యోగులు దర్శించే అదే తత్త్వాన్ని సాంఖ్యులు కూడా దర్శిస్తారు. కనుక సాంఖ్యమును యోగమును ఏకముగా చూసేవాడే తత్త్వవిత్తు.

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.
