🔍 Deep Interpretation

Saint Dnyaneshwar emphasizes that the ultimate destination reached by those following the path of knowledge (Sankhya) is the same as that reached by those following the path of selfless action (Yoga). Though the methods differ—one focusing on intellectual realization and the other on detached performance of duties—the spiritual fruit is identical. A person who perceives this fundamental unity possesses true wisdom.

🎯 Practical Application

Whether you are working professionally or meditating, if both are done with a sense of duty and without attachment to results, they lead to the same inner growth. Example: Serving society honestly is as spiritual as formal prayer.

📌 Context

Lord Krishna explains the equality of the path of knowledge (Sankhya) and the path of action (Yoga).
