Description Swami Bawra is the primary source and inspiration for this compilation of uniquely penetrating and accessible insights into Samkhya and Yoga. Kapil's Samkhya is the foundation of thought underlying the methods of Yoga. This commentary revives the core philosophy of Samkhya in the ancient search for truth and freedom from suffering. Nature and spirit are distinct, but emanate eternally from one Source. Nature projects into life as a continuum from causal and subtle energy to gross matter. Spirit or consciousness, integral to all existence, is that which enlivens nature. Realization of the eternal relationship between the individual and the Source of energy and consciousness ends suffering in one's present life.
