सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः।
एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्।।5.4।।
।।5.4।। बालक अर्थात् बालबुद्धि के लोग सांख्य (संन्यास) और योग को परस्पर भिन्न समझते हैं किसी एक में भी सम्यक् प्रकार से स्थित हुआ पुरुष दोनों के फल को प्राप्त कर लेता है।।
They are misinformed and not conversant with Vedic scriptures who think that karma yoga or prescribed Vedic activities and jnana yoga the renunciation of rewards of actions by the cultivation Vedic knowledge give different results and do not both award atma tattva or realisation of the soul. Although karma yoga may go through the path of jnana yoga it may also independently achieve atma tattva by its own merit. So as long as an aspirant firmly adopts either path with determination they are assured of success. This is further expanded by Lord Krishna in the next verse.
