Karma Sanyasa Yoga

The Yoga of Renunciation

Sanskrit Verse

Sankhya-yogau prithag balah pravadanti na panditah, ekam apy asthitah samyag ubhayor vindate phalam

Only the ignorant see Sankhya (knowledge/renunciation) and yoga (selfless action) as different paths; the wise know that one who follows either sincerely attains the fruit of both. They are not truly separate — they converge in the same liberation.

Key Teachings

  • Knowledge and action are not truly separate
  • The wise see unity where the uninformed see division
  • Sincere practice of either path reaches the same destination
