यत्साङ्ख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते । एकं साङ्ख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥ ५-५॥

sanskrit

The State (Sthana) called Salvation; that is reached by the Sankhyas, by the monks steadfast in Knowledge; that is reached by the karma yogis. The Karma yogis are those who, as a means to the attainment of Knowledge, undertake actions by dedicating them to God without seeking any result for themselves. He alone is wise who sees that the Sankhya and the Yoga are one and the same because of their having the same result.
