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.
I do not want to get material life, do not want the sense-life, but something higher. That is renunciation. Then, by the power of meditation, undo the mischief that has been done.
-Swami Vivekananda
