All the different branches of Indian philosophy are indebted to the Samkhya system for its in-depth analysis. This is the authoritative text on Samkhya. Sanskrit Text, word by word meaning, and commentary.
When we can attach the mind to -- or detach it from -- the sense at our will, we shall really possess character. Then alone we shall have taken a long step towards freedom; before that, we are mere machines.
-Swami Vivekananda
