Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]"It is the ignorant, not the wise, who speak of Sānkhya and Yoga as distinct. He who is rightly established in even one of them obtains the fruit of both."
BG 5.4
साङ्ख्ययोगौ पृथग् बालाः प्रवदन्ति न पण्डिताः। एकमप्यास्थितः सम्यगुभयोर्विन्दते फलम्॥५-४॥
sāṅkhya-yogau pṛthag bālāḥ pravadanti na paṇḍitāḥ | ekam apy āsthitaḥ samyag ubhayor vindate phalam || 5.4 ||
"Only the immature see Sānkhya and Yoga as separate — the wise know one path, practiced rightly, yields both fruits."
