Exploring the dualist foundation of the Samkhya school, this work delves into the metaphysics of Patanjali, highlighting the interplay between Puruṣa (consciousness) and Prakriti (mind and matter). It examines the state of Jiva, where consciousness is entangled with the material world, leading to bondage through imbalance and ignorance. The text emphasizes the path to liberation, or Kaivalya, and outlines the ethical framework of Yoga, rooted in Yamas, Niyama, and the Guṇa theory, providing a comprehensive understanding of these philosophical concepts.
