Translation

Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣya

The fools, not the learned ones, speak of Sankhya and (Karma-) yoga as being different. Anyone who properly resorts to either one of them gets the results of both.

हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda

बालक अर्थात् बालबुद्धि के लोग सांख्य (संन्यास) और योग को परस्पर भिन्न समझते हैं; किसी एक में भी सम्यक् प्रकार से स्थित हुआ पुरुष दोनों के फल को प्राप्त कर लेता है।।

Meaning — Questions & Solutions

from Q&A with KnA
5.4Why is the new term “Sāṅkhya and Yoga” brought in now — and what is the contrast?

Sāṅkhya here means the path of discriminative Knowledge and formal renunciation; Yoga means the path of dedicated action. Kṛṣṇa introduces the pair precisely in order to dissolve it: “the childish, not the wise, speak of Sāṅkhya and Yoga as separate; one truly established in either gains the fruit of both.” The contrast is real at the level of method — one renounces action outwardly, the other renounces the fruit of action inwardly — but false at the level of goal, for both aim at, and arrive at, the same egoless state. He raises the distinction only to teach us to stop clinging to it.
