Sanskrit
साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः । एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम् ॥
sāṅkhyayogau pṛthag bālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ ekam apy āsthitaḥ samyag ubhayor vindate phalam
Translation
Children, not sages, speak of the Sânkhya and the Yoga as different; he who is duly established in one obtaineth the fruits of both.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
Having redefined renunciation in verse 3, Krishna states the chapter’s unification thesis outright: treating Sankhya (the path of knowledge) and Yoga (the path of action) as different is the mark of the immature, not the wise. Whoever is genuinely established in either one obtains the result of both — which follows directly from the redefinition just given, since real renunciation already contains the non-attachment that real yoga also requires. This is argument, not assertion.
