Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

It is children who speak of Sāṅkhya and Yoga as producing distinct and opposite results. But the wise, men of knowledge, believe that they produce but one harmonious result. He who rightly observes even one of them, Sāṅkhya or Yoga, obtains the fruits of both. Both lead to the same result, viz., mokṣa. Wherefore, there is no diversity in the result.
