अर्जुन उवाच । संन्यासं कर्मणां कृष्ण पुनर्योगं च शंससि । यच्छ्रेय एतयोरेकं तन्मे ब्रूहि सुनिश्चितम्॥६-२७-१॥

Arjuna said: O Kṛṣṇa, you commend renunciation of actions and again you commend yoga; tell me decisively which of the two is better.

english translation

श्रीभगवानुवाच । संन्यासः कर्मयोगश्च निःश्रेयसकरावुभौ । तयोस्तु कर्मसंन्यासात्कर्मयोगो विशिष्यते॥६-२७-२॥

The Blessed Lord said: Both renunciation and karma-yoga are conducive to the highest good; however, karma-yoga is superior to renunciation of action.

english translation

ज्ञेयः स नित्यसंन्यासी यो न द्वेष्टि न काङ्क्षति । निर्द्वंद्वो हि महाबाहो सुखं बन्धात्प्रमुच्यते॥६-२७-३॥

He should be known as a perpetual renunciant who neither hates nor desires. For, free from the pairs of opposites, O mighty-armed one, he is easily released from bondage.

english translation

सांख्ययोगौ पृथग्बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः । एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्॥६-२७-४॥

Only the immature speak of Sāṃkhya and Yoga as separate; not the learned. One who is properly established even in one of them attains the result of both.

english translation

यत्सांख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते । एकं सांख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति॥६-२७-५॥

The state attained by the Sāṃkhyas is also reached by the yogins. One who sees Sāṃkhya and Yoga as one truly sees.
