Shloka 4

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 ||

Yājñavalkya nói: “Chính Thực tại mà người hành Yoga trực chứng, thì người theo Sāṅkhya cũng nhận ra. Vì thế, ai thấy Sāṅkhya và Yoga là một trong bản thể, người ấy mới là bậc tri chân—kẻ hiểu rằng những pháp môn khác nhau có thể hội tụ về cùng một tuệ giác tối thượng, và không nên bị đặt vào thế đối nghịch vô ích.”

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.
