In Bhagavad-gītā, Fifteenth Chapter, it is stated that the Lord Himself is the compiler of the Vedānta-sūtra and is the perfect knower of the Vedānta-sūtra. Similarly, the Sāṅkhya philosophy is compiled by the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His appearance as Kapila. There is an imitation Kapila who has a Sāṅkhya philosophical system, but Kapila the incarnation of God is different from that Kapila. Kapila the son of Kardama Muni, in His system of Sāṅkhya philosophy, very explicitly explained not only the material world but also the spiritual world. Brahmā could understand this fact because he is svarāṭ, almost independent in receiving knowledge. He is called svarāṭ because he did not go to any school or college to learn but learned everything from within. Because Brahmā is the first living creature within this universe, he had no teacher, his teacher was the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, who is seated in the heart of every living creature. Brahmā acquired knowledge directly from the Supreme Lord within the heart; therefore he is sometimes called svarāṭ and aja.
FAQs
This verse says the Lord appeared in pure goodness specifically to disclose the truth through analytical Sāṅkhya—clear knowledge of reality meant to remove opposition to spiritual understanding.
Here “enemies” refers to forces that obstruct truth—ignorance, misleading philosophies, and opposition to dharma—overcome by the Lord’s teaching of genuine tattva-jñāna.
Use clear discrimination of what is temporary vs. eternal—body, mind, and matter versus the soul and the Supreme—to reduce confusion and align life with spiritual purpose.
