Word by word

Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

Only the unenlightened speak of wisdom and right action as separate; the wise do not. If anyone knows one, they enjoy the fruit of both.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Children, not the wise, speak of knowledge and the Yoga of action, or the performance of action, as though they are distinct and different; he who is truly established in one, obtains the fruits of both.

Translated by Swami Sivananda
