Verse 4-5
🕉 Original Sanskrit Shloka
sāńkhyayogau pṛthagbālāḥ pravadanti na panditāḥ
ekamapyāsthitaḥ samyag ubhayorvindate phalam
yatsānkhyaiḥ prāpyate sthānam tadyogairapi gamyate
ekam sāńkhym ch yogam ch yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
🕉 English Translation
Jo samjhe karamyog aur sankha ko,
Phal hai alag inka, murkh hai wo.
Jo dridta se jam jaye ik yog main,
Prabhu prapti ka mile phal use.
Milta hai gyani ko jo param dham,
Wahi paye jo karta nishkam kaam.
Jo dekhe karma sankhya ko ek hee,
Nazar dekhne ki hai uski sahi.

The final goal is that only-Supreme abode, Supreme state, Supreme peace, Divine Supreme Self. While performing action if the inner state is of selflessness, self-surrender, of the Lord and for the Lord then undoubtedly He will be attained. This is the state of Sankhya Yoga as well. The awakening of discriminative intellect and severance of relationship with the self sense of establishment in the state of the Selfhood then it is natural that attainment would be of the same state and spiritual feeling. The one who views both as the same he is the one who sees in the right perspective. Those who see divisively their intellect is undoubtedly under delusion. Their intellect is also childish, ridden with delusion. A mature and settled intellect will never be able to have a divisive viewpoint, nor it will state both to be the same. Here the words 'mudah' and 'pandit' should be meant as the unenlightened and mature intellect or in the context of foolishness and wisdom respectively.
The topic under discussion is chiefly pertaining to yoga of action; that is why after providing optimistic and generous inspiration to the Sankhya yogis once again the singer of the song divine is propounding the specialities of yoga of action-
