Sankhya Yogah - I have described the knowledge of Sankhya; now listen to the knowledge of Yoga, which frees one from the bondage of actions.
एषा तेऽभिहिता साङ्ख्ये बुद्धिर्योगे त्विमां शृणु |
बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि ||39||

I have described the knowledge of Sankhya; now listen to the knowledge of Yoga, which frees one from the bondage of actions.

  • Sankhya: Analytical knowledge.
  • Yoga: Path of selfless action.
  • Bandham: Bondage.

Krishna explains that the knowledge imparted thus far is based on Sankhya philosophy (analytical understanding), but now he will speak about Karma Yoga (the path of action). By understanding and applying this wisdom, one can free oneself from the bondage of actions. This serves as a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
