नारद–शुक संवादः (Nārada–Śuka Dialogue): Tyāga, Saṃyama, and Vyakta–Avyakta Viveka
नास्ति सांख्यसमं ज्ञानं नास्ति योगसमं बलम् | तावुभावेकचर्यो तावुभावनिधनौ स्मृती
nāsti sāṅkhyasamaṃ jñānaṃ nāsti yogasamaṃ balam | tāv ubhāv ekacaryau tāv ubhāv anidhanau smṛtī ||
耶若那伐迦言曰：“无有知识可与数论等量，无有力量可与瑜伽比肩。然此二者同循一途，同归一旨；二者皆被忆念为能越过死亡之法。”

Educational Q&A
Sāṅkhya is praised for unsurpassed liberating knowledge (discriminating Self from non-Self), and Yoga for unsurpassed strength (discipline, concentration, steadiness). Despite differing emphases, they converge in practice and culminate in the same end: transcendence of death through liberation.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on peace and liberation, the sage Yājñavalkya teaches that the two major spiritual approaches—Sāṅkhya (insight) and Yoga (discipline)—are not rivals but complementary paths that ultimately lead to the same death-transcending realization.
