भगवद् गीता अध्याय 5 श्लोक 5

यत्सांख्यैः प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते।
एकं सांख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति।।5.5।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 5.5)
।।5.5।।सांख्ययोगियोंके द्वारा जो तत्त्व प्राप्त किया जाता है कर्मयोगियोंके द्वारा भी वही प्राप्त किया जाता है। अतः जो मनुष्य सांख्ययोग और कर्मयोगको (फलरूपमें) एक देखता है वही ठीक देखता है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Lord Krishna now clarifies specifically that atma tattva or  realisation  of
the soul is the  result  and  that  persons  who  practice  renunciation  of
actions attains this same result as those  that  practice  prescribed  Vedic
activities without desire  for  reward  and  thus  for  one  who  sees  this
similarity of result sees that both paths are actually one.  The  word  yoga
meaning the science if  the  individual  consciousness  attaining  communion
with the ultimate consciousness denotes by the suffix api  meaning  also  of
one who is a practitioner of yoga


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Both invariably lead to the same result because due  to  performing  actions
with spiritual intelligence one achieves the same goal  of  atma  tattva  or
realisation of the soul. Therefore even renunciates  with  spiritual  wisdom
should perform prescribed Vedic activities  and  grihastas  or  householders
should  cultivate  knowledge  of  the  resplendent  Supreme  Lord.   Without
spiritual intelligence ones actions  can  never  be  properly  established.
Whereas performance of activities in spiritual intelligence  without  desire
of rewards automatically leads one to renunciation. The person who  performs
actions with renunciation offering the results to the Supreme  Lord  attains
the eternal Brahman or the spiritual  substratum  pervading  all  existence.
This blessed person should propitiate the Brahman in its more  advanced  and
personal avatar manifestaion or incarnations such  as  Rama  or  Buddha  and
expansions such as Vishnu or Vasudeva;  both categories which  emanate  from
the Supreme Lord  Krishna.  The  renunciate  should  offer  propitiation  by
manasa or mentally offering flowers and meditating on  the  pranava  or  the
primordial mantra OM. Moksa or liberation is assured  for  the  desire  free
performers of prescribed  Vedic  activities,  those  firmly  established  in
renunciation and those cognisant of the  eternal  Brahman.  But  even  among
these there is more bliss and satisfaction for those who perform actions  to
please the Supreme Lord Krishna  or  any  of  His  Vedic  authorised  avatar
incarnations and expansions.  Performance  of  prescribed  Vedic  activities
without knowledge of Lord Krishna  and  His   avatars  is  not  laudable  or
commendable. Therefore only those actions performed in knowledge of Him  are
known  to  be  actions  performed  in  renunciation.  Such  actions  as  are
performed by renunciates is called  karma  or  actions  based  on  spiritual
intelligence. Kar is understood as action and ma is  understood  as  wisdom.
Thus even  the  grihastas  or  householders  with  wives  and  children  and
responsibility can also perform actions  in  renunciation  if  they  possess
this wisdom or spiritual intelligence. Thus there is no  difference  between
renunciation and karma yoga or performing prescribed  Vedic  activities,  if
the actions are performed as a  matter  of  duty  with  no  desire  for  the
rewards of the action. In the Vyasa Smriti it states  that  the  distinction
between a grihasta following karma  yoga  without  desires  and  an  ascetic
renunciate without desire except for the regulations and constraints on  the
activities accepted by each.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The renunciates are followers of jnana yoga  or  the  cultivation  of  Vedic
knowledge but the same goal is achieved by  them  upon  realisation  as  the
goal achieved by the followers of karma yoga or prescribed Vedic  activities
upon realisation. Lord Krishna is stating  that  one  who  comprehends  that
either of the methods leads to the same result is  one  who  is  in  correct
knowledge and such a person has spiritual intelligence.
