Samkhya Sutras

The Samkhya Sutras are ancient Indian texts that outline the philosophy of Samkhya, which seeks to explain the nature of reality. They describe two fundamental principles: Purusha (conscious spirit) and Prakriti (material nature). Everything in the universe arises from the interaction of these two. The texts explore how these principles influence human experience, mind, and consciousness, offering a systematic way to understand existence and achieve liberation by recognizing the distinction between the self and the physical world. The Samkhya philosophy emphasizes knowledge, meditation, and discipline as paths to liberation.
