साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग्बाला: प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिता: |
एकमप्यास्थित: सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम् || 5.4||
sankhya-yogau prithag balah pravadanti na panditah
ekamapyasthitah samyag ubhayor vindate phalam
BG 5.4: Only the ignorant speak of sānkhya (renunciation of actions, or karm sanyās) and karm yog (work in devotion) as different. Those who are truly learned say that by applying ourselves to any one of these paths, we can achieve the results of both.
यत्साङ्ख्यै: प्राप्यते स्थानं तद्योगैरपि गम्यते |
एकं साङ्ख्यं च योगं च य: पश्यति स पश्यति || 5.5||
yat sankhyaih prapyate sthanam tad yogair api gamyate
ekam sankhyam cha yogam cha yah pashyati sa pashyati
BG 5.5: The supreme state that is attained by means of karm sanyās is also attained by working in devotion. Hence, those who see karm sanyās and karm yog to be identical, truly see things as they are.
In spiritual practice, the intention of the mind is what matters, not the external activities. Those who do not possess this spiritual vision see the external distinction between a karma sanyasi and a karma yogi and declare the karm sanyasi to be superior because of the external renunciation. But those who are learned see that both the karma sanyasi and the karma yogi have absorbed their minds in God, and so they are both identical in their internal consciousness.
The karm yogis, while conducting their daily duties externally, develop the sentiment of yukt vairāgya, or stable renunciation. They see themselves as the servants and God as the enjoyer, and hence they become fixed in the consciousness of doing everything for His pleasure. Thus, their internal state becomes the same as that of the karm sanyasis, who are completely absorbed in divine consciousness. Externally, they may appear to be worldly people, but internally they are no less than sanyasis.
The Puranas and Itihās relate the examples of great kings in Indian history, who, though externally discharging their kingly duties with diligence and living in royal opulence, were mentally completely absorbed in God-consciousness. Prahlad, Dhruv, Ambarish, Prithu, Vibheeshan, Yudhishthir, etc. were all such exemplary karm yogis.
