Teachings of Lord Kapila English

(1 customer review)

This book talks about the real Sāṅkhya philosophy, described by Lord Kapila, an incarnation of God, in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Sāṅkhya means the analytical description of the body and the soul. Lord Kṛṣṇa made an analytical description of the soul just to bring Arjuna to the point of buddhi-yoga, or bhakti-yoga.

Therefore, Lord Kṛṣṇa’s Sāṅkhya and Lord Kapila’s Sāṅkhya, as described in the Bhāgavatam, are one and the same. They are all bhakti-yoga. Lord Kṛṣṇa said, therefore, that only the less intelligent class of men make a distinction between sāṅkhya-yoga and bhakti-yoga.

Overview

Teachings of Lord Kapila – The son of DevahÅ«ti

The distinction between the incarnation Kapila and ordinary atheistic Kapila

Later, another Kapiladeva appeared who expounded atheistic Sāṅkhya philosophy, which dealt with the twenty-four elements but gave no information about God. The original Kapila is called the Devahūti-putra Kapila, and the other is called the atheist Kapila.

Unlasting endeavor

The conclusion is that we should not endeavor for so-called happiness or distress. We should try to attain that position whereby we can understand Kṛṣṇa and get shelter at His lotus feet. This should be the real human endeavor.

Real knowledge leads to surrender

As long as we do not understand Kṛṣṇa, Vāsudeva, we are still fools. We may advertise ourselves as very great jñānīs, learned personalities. But we are actually fools, which is the śāstric conclusion. If we are actually jñānīs, we should surrender unto Kṛṣṇa.

Arrangements of Kṛṣṇa

This universe is existing due to the Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu. We should not think that all these planets are floating in space without any arrangement. There is definitely an arrangement.

    Sankhya is both a system of metaphysics, swapping with the elementary principles of the physical universe, and a system of spiritual knowledge, with its method. Lord Kapila is not any ordinary saint or philosopher but He is incarnation of Krishna Himself. The real knowledge disseminates from God because He is the compiler and knower of Vedas. It must be noted that another Kapila came in due course and proposed atheists Sankhya philosophy mimicking the original Lord Kapila. Original lord Kapila is the son of Devahuti mentioned on the cover of the book.
