O mighty-armed! One who is above such contraries is easily liberated from bondage. 🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 5, Verse 4: साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग्बाला: प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिता: | एकमप्यास्थित: सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम् || 4|| sānkhya-yogau pṛithag bālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyag ubhayor vindate phalam 🔴The thoughtless---not men of discrimination---affirm that Samkhya and Yoga are different.
