1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 5 -Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 4


The entire content of this mail is from Swami Chidbhavananda's translation of The Bhagavad Gita, published by Ramakrishna Mission.

Karma Yoga is Karma Sanyasa - 1-13
1 Gita Sloka every day - Chapter 5 -Sanyasa Yoga - Sloka 4
Laksmi Narayana


Sankhya  yogau prithak balah pravadanti  na pandita I
Ekam api astitah samyak ubhayoh vindate phalam II sloka 4
संख्या योगौ पृथक् बलः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डित ।
एकं अपि अस्तितः सम्यक उव्हयोः विन्दते फलं ।। श्लोक ४ 

Children, not the wise, speak of knowledge and performance of action as different; he who is truly established in one obtains the fruit of both.

Karma sanyasa which culminates in jnana is described here as samkhya. Those who donot understand the purport of the scripture are designated as children. Theory and practice are interrelated and interdependent. Right understanding leads to right doing;  right doing brings in right knowing.
