Chapter 5 verse 4
“Children, not the wise, speak of Saankhya (Knowledge)
and Yoga (Yoga of action) as distinct; he who is truly established even in one,
obtains the fruits of both”
In Indian culture, the first 25 years of a 100 year life
was supposed to be spent in learning as a bachelor under the guidance of a
Guru. The child is entrusted in the hands of a Guru in their abode around the age
of 5-7 years and this child is then groomed. The Lord is talking about the
child who has not started their education with the Guru. The Lord has
introduced that all paths to eternal happiness comes from Self Knowledge. That
Knowledge can be obtained by either doing all action as an offering to Divine
and drop the doer ship or being established in the firm Knowledge that Self is
different from the body, mind, intellect complex. Both these paths are not
different and even if one methodology is adopted, that will lead us to the same
result of eternal bliss.
