		<description><![CDATA[A question naturally arises, that if the knowledge forms are made up of some sort of stuff as the objective forms of matter are, why then should the purusha illuminate it and not external material objects. 
The answer that Samkhya gives is that the knowledge-complexes are certainly different from external objects in this, that they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another question that arises in this connection is the position of feeling in such an analysis of thought and matter. Samkhya holds that the three characteristic constituents that we have analyzed just now are feeling substances. Feeling is the most interesting side of our consciousness. 
It is in our feelings that we think of our [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Samkhya believes that before this world came into being there was such a state of dissolution&#8211;a state in which the guna compounds had disintegrated into a state of disunion and had by their mutual opposition produced an equilibrium the prakriti. 
Then later on disturbance arose in the prakriti, and as a result of that a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first evolute of the prakriti is generated by a preponderance of the sattva (intelligence-stuff). This is indeed the earliest state from which all the rest of the world has sprung forth; and it is a state in which the stuff of sattva predominates. It thus holds within it the minds (buddhi) of all purushas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other tendency, namely that of tamas, has to be helped by the liberated rajas of ahamkara, in order to make itself preponderant, and this state in which the tamas succeeds in overcoming the sattva side which was so preponderant in the buddhi, is called bhutadi (1).
From this bhutadi with the help of rajas are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The question again arises that though purusha is pure intelligence, the gunas are non-intelligent subtle substances, how can the latter come into touch with the former? 
Moreover, the purusha is pure inactive intelligence without any touch of impurity and what service or need can such a purusha have of the gunas? This difficulty is anticipated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been said that buddhi and the internal objects have evolved in order to giving scope to the experience of the purusha. What is the process of this experience? 
Samkhya (as explained by Vacaspati) holds that through the senses the buddhi comes into touch with external objects. At the first moment of this touch [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vedanta is distinctly antagonistic to Nyaya, and most of its powerful dialectic criticism is generally directed against it. Shankara himself had begun it by showing contradictions and inconsistencies in many of the Nyaya conceptions, such as the theory of causation, conception of the atom, the relation of samavaya, the conception of jati, etc (1).
