॥साङ्ख्यकारिका॥ – Translation

Concise Statement of the Sāṅkya

I am posting the translation of the Sāṅkhyakārikā, a concise statement of the Sāṅkhya Darśana—sort of the Algorithmic school of thought from ancient India. This serves as language practice for me, along with familiarising myself (and hopefully others) with ancient knowledge. I will keep reblogging this post with translated verses added as and when I go through the Sāṅkhyakārikā myself. There are 60 verses. Enjoy!

Cracks by Jordan Scott (2009)

A soul element thus disguised in outer form, but which reveals itself as soul, dwells in the Sattva [astral] element. A soul element immersed in form, but which is, so to say, entangled in it and cannot emerge from it, dwells in the Tamas- element [physical]; and that in which, more or less, the soul element and its outer expression in form, are, to a certain extent, balanced, dwells in the Rajas-element [etheric]. Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, the three Gunas, pertain to the essential characteristics of what we know as Sankhya philosophy.
 Thus Sankhya is a contemplation of the sheaths of the soul, and Yoga the guidance of the soul to higher and ever higher stages of inner experience. To devote oneself to Yoga means a gradual awakening of the higher forces of the soul so that it experiences something not to be found in everyday life, which opens the door to higher and higher stages of existence.

—Rudolf Steiner, The Bhagavad Gita and the Epistles of St. Paul

Seeing Jibankrishna’s form within the body is new in world history

 

Visualizing God is individualism and achievement of God is universalism. To achieve God means to become God and this proof will not be borne by the seer but by the human race.

Rabindra Nath Tagore has mentioned, ‘He cannot hide himself. He manifests in all times an ages’ But this is also judicial, and the Vedic sages who have established this truth mentioned it judicially. Such concrete proof was not found anywhere and anytime and for that reason ‘Sankhya’ denied the existence of God.

Keep in your mind, that I am merely a living man. If you term me as Brahma or God, I shall say that you are imposing it. Never support this phenomenon based on past reference and you cannot force me to agree to it. This is completely a new thing.

Sankhya Philosophy: Understanding the Bhagavad Gita's Teachings on Reality

The Bhagavad Gita, a sacred text within the Indian epic Mahabharata, is a profound dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior prince Arjuna. Among the various philosophical perspectives presented in the Gita, the Sankhya philosophy holds a significant place. Sankhya, meaning "enumeration" or "counting," is a school of thought that delves into the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate purpose of life. In this exploration, we will unravel the key tenets of Sankhya philosophy as elucidated in the Bhagavad Gita.

Sankhya Philosophy:

Principles of Prakriti and Purusha: Sankhya philosophy posits the existence of two fundamental entities - Prakriti and Purusha. Prakriti represents the material world, including the physical and mental realms, while Purusha symbolizes the eternal, unchanging essence or consciousness. The interplay between these two principles is central to understanding the dynamics of existence.

Evolution of the Material World: According to Sankhya, Prakriti undergoes constant evolution, giving rise to the myriad forms and phenomena in the universe. The three gunas - sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance) - are inherent qualities of Prakriti that shape the diversity and characteristics of the material world.

The Concept of the Self (Atman): Purusha, on the other hand, is distinct from the changing material world. It is the unchanging, eternal Self or Atman. The individual self, or Jivatman, is considered a fragment of the supreme, universal Purusha. Realizing the distinction between the eternal self and the transient material world is crucial for spiritual awakening.

Pathways to Liberation: Sankhya philosophy in the Bhagavad Gita introduces the concept of self-realization as the path to liberation (moksha). Arjuna is encouraged to discern the difference between the physical body (Prakriti) and the eternal self (Purusha). The practice of discernment, known as viveka, is fundamental in attaining liberation.

Detachment and Action: Sankhya philosophy advocates a path of detached action (karma yoga) as a means to realize the self. By performing one's duties without attachment to the results, an individual can overcome the cycle of birth and death and attain spiritual freedom.

Conclusion:

The Sankhya philosophy in the Bhagavad Gita provides a profound understanding of the nature of reality, the self, and the path to liberation. It encourages individuals to transcend the illusions of the material world, recognize the eternal nature of the self, and engage in actions with a sense of detachment. The teachings of Sankhya philosophy offer timeless wisdom that continues to inspire seekers on the spiritual journey, guiding them toward a deeper comprehension of the self and the ultimate reality.

Learn Sankhya Philosophy with the Sanskrit Text Sankhya Karika - Part I - HUA

This course is the first of a two-part series on Sankhya Darshana (Philosophy), based on the Sanskrit book 'Sankhya Karika' by Ishvara Krishna. It is a short book with just 72 Karikas, which are short verses that explain Rishi Kapila's Sankhya Darshana. It is very important to understand the basic ideas of Sankhya philosophy if you want to understand other Sanskrit works like the Bhagavad Gita and other Vedic philosophical systems like Yoga and Vedanta.  

Sankhya Darshana through the Sankhya Karika – Part I Contents of the course:  

It is said, "na hi Sankhya samam gyanam, na hi yoga samam balam" i.e., There is no knowledge like Sankhya, and there is no power like Yoga. Sankhya Darshana was one of the first ways of thinking that tried to find a permanent answer to problems like birth and death, getting old, getting sick, and being sad. In his search for a permanent answer, Sankhya came up with a deep way of thinking about the universe and where humans fit into it. Sankhya thought that a good understanding of the twenty-five Tattvas, which are the basic building blocks of the universe, would lead to a complete and permanent end to human suffering.  

In this two-course set, the Sankhya Karika of Ishvara Krishna will be used to teach the basic ideas of Sankhya philosophy. In the first course, we will look closely at Karikas 1–30.  

A karika is a name used in the field. It generally has two lines, like the shlokas in the Bhagavad Gita. So, in the first quarter, we will cover about half of the Sankhya Karika. The last 42 Karikas will be taught in the second course in the series. Students will learn new things about Sankhya philosophy, which many scholars mistakenly call a dualistic, atheistic theory.  

You don't need to know anything about Sanskrit or Sankhya philosophy to take this course. The students will get a PDF file with each karika written in both Devanagari and Roman writing, along with the word meanings and short explanations. PDF files will also be made available for extra reading materials.  

The goals of this course are for students to be able to:  

a) Understand the basics of Sankhya Philosophy.  

b) Learn all the technical Sanskrit words you need to know.  

c) Learn the basics so that you can also understand works like the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.  

d) Learn to appreciate other philosophical schools and be motivated to learn more about Vedic systems like Vedanta, Mimamsa, Yoga, Nyaya, and Vaisheshika.  

e) Get a deep understanding of the ideas of "mind," "atma," "ego," and "intellect," as well as how the world came to be.  

Structure of the class:  

Each week, there will be at least one 90-minute contact hour with one or more teachers. The class is set up so that each week's self-study and reflection can lead to talk and debate. Even though each class will only talk about the same topic for 60 minutes, the conversation time will be open-ended and can go on for up to 30 more minutes. Students will have to take notes on the Karikas that were talked about. They don't have to be as good as papers written for school, but they should be based on what the student has learned and understood so far.

The Secret Knowledge—Purusha-Prakriti in the Cosmic Operation

His works, his thoughts have been devised by her, His being is a mirror vast of hers: Active, inspired by her he speaks and moves; His deeds obey her heart’s unspoken demands: Passive, he bears the impacts of the world As if her touches shaping his soul and life: His journey through the days is her sun-march; He runs upon her roads; hers is his course. ||14.4||

A witness and student of her joy and dole, A partner in her evil and her good, He has consented to her passionate ways, He is driven by her sweet and dreadful force. ||14.5|| His sanctioning name initials all her works; His silence is his signature to her deeds; In the execution of her drama’s scheme, In her fancies of the moment and its mood, In the march of this obvious ordinary world Where all is deep and strange to the eyes that see And Nature’s common forms are marvel-wefts, She through his witness sight and motion of might Unrolls the material of her cosmic Act, Her happenings that exalt and smite the soul, Her force that moves, her powers that save and slay, Her Word that in the silence speaks to our hearts, Her silence that transcends the summit Word, Her heights and depths to which our spirit moves, Her events that weave the texture of our lives And all by which we find or lose ourselves, Things sweet and bitter, magnificent and mean, Things terrible and beautiful and divine. ||14.6||

Her empire in the cosmos she has built, He is governed by her subtle and mighty laws. ||14.7|| His consciousness is a babe upon her knees, Her endless space is the playground of his thoughts, His being a field of her vast experiment; She binds to knowledge of the shapes of Time And the creative error of limiting mind And chance that wears the rigid face of fate And her sport of death and pain and Nescience, His changed and struggling immortality. ||14.8||

His soul is a subtle atom in a mass, His substance a material for her works. ||14.9||

His spirit survives amid the death of things, He climbs to eternity through being’s gaps, He is carried by her from Night to deathless Light. ||14.10||

This grand surrender is his free-will’s gift, His pure transcendent force submits to hers. ||14.11||

In this description of the Sankhya metaphysics poetry might look somewhat thin but it holds another plain descriptive charm, charm of bareness; there is another fascination in it, its own well composed beauty, saundarya, its own serene yet tranquil essence, rasa, a deportment that has the quality of bringing wideness of the spirit itself. From a spiritual point of view the description is of the secret knowledge that Aswapati has to have if his concern is dealing with the cosmic issue, this creation opening to the higher possibilities that must enter into it. The Soul is at the back of everything and the job of Nature is to prepare this world, full of anguished mortality, to receive the immortal gifts of greatness, of light and love and sweetness and power and knowledge and joy. Let us read Sri Aurobindo’s Triple Brahman from the Upanishads. (pp. 45-50) ‘Love is a Cosmic Force’ Alex Grey
