The real purpose of philosophical research is to find the ultimate goal of life. Since the ultimate goal of life is self-realization, there is no difference between the conclusions reached by the two processes. By Sāṅkhya philosophical research one comes to the conclusion that a living entity is not a part and parcel of the material world but of the supreme spirit whole. Consequently, the spirit soul has nothing to do with the material world; his actions must be in some relation with the Supreme. When he acts in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, he is actually in his constitutional position. In the first process, Sāṅkhya, one has to become detached from matter, and in the devotional yoga process one has to attach himself to the work of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Factually, both processes are the same, although superficially one process appears to involve detachment and the other process appears to involve attachment. Detachment from matter and attachment to Kṛṣṇa are one and the same. One who can see this sees things as they are.

La recherche philosophique a pour objet réel la connaissance du but ultime de l’existence, la réalisation spirituelle. C’est pourquoi les deux voies indiquées dans ce verset ne diffèrent pas dans leurs conclusions. Lorsque la recherche philosophique du sāṅkhya est conduite à son terme, on réalise que l’être distinct n’appartient pas à l’univers matériel, mais au Tout spirituel suprême. L’âme spirituelle, qui n’a rien de commun avec le monde matériel, doit agir en relation avec l’Absolu. Or, agir dans la conscience de Kṛṣṇa, c’est recouvrer sa position intrinsèque.

La voie du sāṅkhya-yoga demande qu’on se détache de la matière, et celle du yoga de la dévotion, le bhakti-yoga, qu’on s’attache aux actes dédiés au plaisir de Kṛṣṇa. Mais bien que l’une semble impliquer l’attachement et l’autre le détachement, ces deux méthodes se rejoignent, car il n’existe pas de différence entre le détachement de la matière et l’attachement à Kṛṣṇa. Qui développe cette vision possède une juste compréhension des choses.
