| | SAMKHYA YOGA revisited |
| | Samkhya is also deeply rooted in the Upanishads or oral teachings contemporary with early Buddhism (600-300 B.C.E.), and it was in those Upanishadic teachings that the word ‘yoga’ first appears. | | | The roots of Yoga are buried deep in the Samkhya (pronounced song-khya) tradition, and the roots of the Samkhya tradition is buried deep in the Shasti-Tantra, an ancient tantrik text long since lost to antiquity. | | | Moreover, both Buddhism and Samkhya were major cohesive forces in the political-military landscape, and more so than any religious reasons, it was probably this that led to their ultimate demise. |

| | Indic Philosophy and Western Mind/Body Dualism |
| | Samkhya incorporates the spiritual element of human life into the overall picture while still seeing a clear division of the spirit (or soul) from the body and mind. | | | This means that Samkhya holds the “mind” as such to be part of nature and not part of what is considered mystical or non-tangible. | | | So, although Eastern philosophy is usually considered to be encompassed by spirituality and mystic thought, the Samkhya school reserves mysticism for the soul and does not apply it to either the mind or the body. |

| | The Samkhya metaphysics were adopted wholesale by the Yoga philosophical school, and the two schools are usually mentioned together--Samkhya as the theoretical contributor, and Yoga as the practical. | | | Another influential but less pervasive idea has been their model of evolution, which has been adapted by other schools, but often subsumed under theistic assumptions, in which God is both the source of consciousness and the material world. | | | Although for the Samkhyas prakrti undergoes real transformations, the primary problem is epistemological, that is, how one comes to know things, rather than ontological, or rooted in the nature of things themselves. |

| | Moksha Journal - The Way of the Witness, by Christopher Key Chapple |
| | As with Samkhya and Buddhism, the purpose of yoga is the cessation of pain, effected by states of suppression (nirodha) of the wave generating habituations. | | | In the Samkhya and Yoga schools of thought, both of these are seen as integral to being human, interacting and complementing one another until true knowledge of the seer is gained. | | | In contrast to this is the realm of activity, the bird that eats and enjoys, exemplified in the Bhagavad Gita as the field, spanning the "gross elements, the sense of I, the intellect, the unmanifest, the ten senses and one (mind), and the five sensory realms" (XIII:S). |

| | AN OUTLINE OF YOGA PHILOSOPHY |
| | To understand Yoga metaphysics, cosmogony and psychology it is first necessary to describe that of Samkhya upon which the philosophy of Yoga is based. | | | This is one reason why Samkhya affirms that God, as material and/or efficient cause of creation is superfluous. | | | This means that the effect exists in C before it becomes E, which is the reasoning behind the ontological ideas of Samkhya, which rejects the doctrine of creation coming out of non-being. |

| | SIKHISM AND SAMKHYA PHILOSOPHY |
| | Samkhya is one of the six main systems of Indian philosophy, and Sikhism, founded by the noble and illumined prophet Guru Nanak Dev, is the youngest of the principal religions of our country. | | | The main Sikh creed has been explained thus: ‘There is one Absolute Being with true identity, who is Creator Being, without fear, without hostility, Eternal Being, free from the limitation of human birth, self-born and is known by the favour of Guru.’ The term Akal Purakh stands for the Divine Being. | | | Das rightly points out that in Samkhya, Purusha, as one of the two cardinal metaphysical principles, stands for spirituality or simply consciousness, which exerts influence on Prakriti or Nature, that is physical in its make-up. |
