No full textTherefore, through this association [of mūlaprakṛti and puruṣa], the insentient evolutes appear as if they were sentient; and the indifferent one (puruṣa) appears as if it were the agent of the activities of the guṇas
Samkhya Karika Class 13 081722.mp4
No full textThe manifest is constituted of the three attributes (sattva, rajas, tamas), indistinguishable [from them], objective, general, unintelligent, and productive. So also is primordial nature. The spirit is the reverse of these, but it is also similar (in some respects)
Samkhya Karika Class 04 06012022.mp4
No full textThe primordial nature (mūlaprakṛti) does not evolve from any other principle (tattva), but other principles evolve from it. The set of seven principles including mahat are both evolvents (other principles evolve from them) and evolutes (they evolve from another principle), but the set of 16 [principles] are merely evolutes. The spirit neither arises from another principle, nor does any principle arise from it

No full textThe manifest is caused (produced), non-eternal, non-pervasive, active, manifold, dependent, serving as a mark (for inference), made of parts, and subordinate. The un-manifest is the reverse of this

No full textThe spirit’s existence is established by five points: the aggregate is for another’s sake, there is the absence of the three attributes and their related properties, there must be some controller, there must be some experiencer, and activity is for the sake of isolation
Samkhya Karika Class 16 09072022.mp4
No full textSattva guṇa is alleviating and illuminating. Rajas guṇa is ex- citing and mobile. Tamas guṇa is heavy and obscuring. Their collective function is for a single purpose, like that of an (oil) lamp
Samkhya Karika Class 19 09282022.mp4
No full textThere exists an un-manifest cause of the particulars (mahat down to the gross elements bhūtas) because 1) the particulars are finite, 2) they are homogeneous, 3) evolution is due to the efficiency of the cause, 4) there is differentiation between the cause and the effect, and 5) there is non-differentiation or merging of the whole world of effects
Samkhya Karika Class 10 07272022.mp4
No full textThe non-perception of [Nature] is due to its subtlety and not due to its nonexistence. It is cognized through its effects. These effects are mahat and the rest, whose qualities are both similar and dissimilar to prakṛti (the primordial Nature)
