Only the ignorant speak of devotional service [karma-yoga] as being different from the analytical study of the material world [Sankhya]. Those who are actually learned say that he who applies himself well to one of these paths achieves the results of both.

Those who see Sankhya (the path of knowledge and renunciation) and Yoga (the path of action) as opposed are missing the point. Anyone who sincerely follows either path all the way reaches the same destination.
