 | | Samkhya denies the presence of god whereas in Yoga the ultimate unchanging perfect Purusha is termed god and if meditated upon he takes other purushas towards salvation. | | | Samkhya is essentially atheistic because it believes that the existence of god cannot be proved. | | | Philosophy is subjected to the influence of the race and culture [5] and the practice of religion is nothing but a quest for the facts of inner life [6]. |

| | Samkhya is also an an atheistic system, whereas the yoga darsana [philosophical system] admits of the idea of God or the Lord (Isvara) as a special kind of self ( purusa) which has never been entangled in prakriti [matter, the universal and subtle (i.e., unmanifest) matter, or nature]. | | | Samkhya enumerates proposed constituents of the cosmos, and samkhya-like speculations are found in early Jain, Buddhist and Hindu texts that some call brahmanical speculations. | | | Samkhya holds the belief that there are many separate purushas ("selves"). |

| | The most significant difference from Samkhya is that the Yoga school not only incorporates the concept of Ishvara (a personal God) into its metaphysical worldview, which the Samkhya does not, but also upholds Ishvara as the ideal upon which to meditate. | | | The characteristic of this philosophy is to consider being (consciousness) together with the other issues and is part of the thought systems of the vast Vedic religion of Hinduism. | | | This is based on a system of logic that has subsequently been adopted by most of the other Indian schools (orthodox or not), much in the same way that Western science, religion and philosophy can be said to be largely based on Aristotelian logic. |

| | That high knowledge, O king, which exists in persons conversant with Brahman, and that which occurs in the Vedas, and that which is found in other scriptures, and that in Yoga, and that which may be seen in the diverse Puranas, are all, O monarch, to be found in Samkhya philosophy. | | | Casting off this body, those regenerate ones that follow the Samkhya system enter into the superior sate of Brahma like the celestials entering into the firmament by devoting themselves wholly to that adorable system which is theirs and which is worshipped by all wise men. | | | The same is the view of Yogis well observant of penances and meditation and of Samkhyas of immeasurable insight. |

| | Secondly, Samkhya is precise, rational, and logical, and therefore does not deem it necessary to invoke the concept of God for explaining the manifest and non-manifest multifarious nature: the individual self and the objective universe. | | | Patanjali in his system of Yoga further elucidates the method and practice of this system to realize Purusha as distinct from Prakriti and attain Liberation. | | | It is to the credit of sage Kapila (of ancient India, circa 800 BCE) that saw the elaboration of this system, and thereby he established the basis for all subsequent philosophical deliberations. |

| | Samkhya does not concern itself with, the existence of Deity, but only with the becoming of a universe, the order of evolution. | | | But so closely is it bound up with the Yoga system, that the latter is called Sesvara Samkhya, with God. | | | Hence it is often called Nir-isvara Samkhya, the Samkhya without God. |

| | One of the Six Schools of traditional Hindu philosophy, whose founding text is the Samkhyakarika s, written by Ishvarakrishna in the third century BCE. | | | 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. | | | 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. |

| Â | The Philosophy of Religion by Swami Krishnananda |
| | The metaphysical aspect of Yoga as propounded by Patanjali, felt the difficulty, and, so, there was an introduction of a deity called Isvara in the Yoga philosophy. | | | This word Isvara should not be associated with any devotional systems, or the God of the religions. | | | It is surprising where the Samkhya has landed man. It has covered him, blindfolded him, made him a fool, as it were, and compelled him to think that everything is fine, while things are as bad as they were. |

| | The Buddhist Yogacara text called Madhyanta-vibhanga sets up a rival theory to that of the Samkhya for showing the evolution and resolution of the worlds, but in common with other Indian schools has the influential Samkhya system before it as a guide. | | | As such, the alayavijnana corresponds to the Samkhya buddhi, which, as Dasqupta explains, has a mere understanding as "thisness."(16) The first of the evolving perceptions is called the klistamanas, and, according to the same text, its object is the qualities of the thing (arthavisesa). | | | Hence, Mahayana Buddhism teaches that the sambhogakaya has the thirty-two characteristics of the Great Person (mahapurusa), and teaches that the nirmanakaya has the power of magical creation of different bodies, comparable to the illusory power that is maya (and the two expressions are based on the same Sanskrit root, ma-). |
